Summary

Morgan Stanley may offer any of the following securities: debt securities; units; warrants; purchase contracts; preferred stock; and common stock. MSFL, a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, may offer any of the following securities: debt securities; units; warrants; and purchase contracts, with MSFL’s payment obligations on such debt securities, units, warrants and purchase contracts fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The following summary describes only the general terms of these securities and the general manner in which each issuer will offer the securities. You should read the summary together with the more detailed information contained in the rest of this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement.

Debt Securities	Debt securities issued by Morgan Stanley may be senior or subordinated in priority of payment.  Debt securities issued by MSFL will be its senior obligations and the payments due, including any property deliverable under any debt securities that MSFL issues, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.  The relevant issuer will provide a prospectus supplement that describes the issuer, the ranking, whether senior or subordinated (in the case of debt securities issued by Morgan Stanley), the specific designation, the aggregate principal amount, the purchase price, the maturity, the redemption terms, the interest rate or manner of calculating the interest rate, the time of payment of interest, if any, the terms for any conversion or exchange, including the terms relating to the adjustment of any conversion or exchange mechanism, the listing, if any, on a securities exchange and any other specific terms of the debt securities.
	The senior and subordinated debt securities issued by Morgan Stanley will be issued under separate indentures between Morgan Stanley and a U.S. banking institution as trustee.  The senior debt securities issued by MSFL will be issued under an indenture among MSFL, Morgan Stanley, in its capacity as guarantor, and a U.S. banking institution as trustee.  None of the indentures that govern either issuer’s debt securities limits the amount of additional indebtedness that the relevant issuer or any of its subsidiaries may incur.  Morgan Stanley and MSFL have summarized the general features of the indentures under the heading “Description of Debt Securities,” and encourage you to read the indentures, which are exhibits to this registration statement.
Units	Morgan Stanley may sell any combination of warrants, purchase contracts, shares of preferred stock, shares of common stock and debt securities issued by it, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with it or other property together as units. MSFL may sell any combination of warrants, purchase contracts and debt securities issued by it, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with it or other property together as units.

1 

	The payments due, including any property deliverable under any units that MSFL issues, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. In a prospectus supplement, the relevant issuer will describe the particular combination of warrants, purchase contracts, shares of preferred stock and common stock (in the case of units issued by Morgan Stanley) and debt securities issued by such issuer, or debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with it or other property constituting any units and any other specific terms of the units.
Warrants	Each of Morgan Stanley and MSFL may sell warrants to purchase or sell: ·     securities issued by it or by an entity affiliated or not affiliated with it, a basket of those securities, an index or indices of those securities or any other property; ·     currencies; ·     any other property; or ·     any combination of the above. The payments due, including any property deliverable under any warrants that MSFL issues, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. In a prospectus supplement, the relevant issuer will inform you of the exercise price and other specific terms of the warrants, including whether the relevant issuer’s or your obligations, if any, under any warrants may be satisfied by delivering or purchasing the underlying securities, currencies or other property or their cash value.
Purchase Contracts	Each of Morgan Stanley and MSFL may sell purchase contracts requiring the holders to purchase or sell: ·     securities issued by it or by an entity affiliated or not affiliated with it, a basket of those securities, an index or indices of those securities or any other property; ·     currencies; ·     commodities; ·     any other property; or ·     any combination of the above. The payments due, including any property deliverable under any purchase contracts that MSFL issues, will be fully and

2 

	unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.  In a prospectus supplement, the relevant issuer will describe the specific terms of the purchase contracts, including whether the relevant issuer will satisfy its obligations, if any, or you will satisfy your obligations, if any, under any purchase contracts by delivering the underlying securities, currencies, commodities or other property or their cash value.
Form	Each of Morgan Stanley and MSFL may issue debt securities, units, warrants and purchase contracts in fully registered global form or fully registered definitive form.  Debt securities issued by Morgan Stanley in registered global form to be offered primarily outside the United States may be issued either under the new safekeeping structure or under the classic safekeeping structure.
Morgan Stanley Preferred Stock	Morgan Stanley may sell its preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more series.  In a prospectus supplement, Morgan Stanley will describe the specific designation, the aggregate number of shares offered, the dividend rate or manner of calculating the dividend rate, the dividend periods or manner of calculating the dividend periods, the stated value of the shares of the series, the voting rights of the shares of the series, whether or not and on what terms the shares of the series will be convertible or exchangeable, whether and on what terms it can redeem the shares of the series, whether it will offer depositary shares representing shares of the series and if so, the fraction or multiple of a share of preferred stock represented by each depositary share, whether it will list the preferred stock or depositary shares on a securities exchange and any other specific terms of the series of preferred stock.
Morgan Stanley Common Stock	Morgan Stanley may sell its common stock, par value $0.01 per share.  In a prospectus supplement, Morgan Stanley will describe the aggregate number of shares offered and the offering price or prices of the shares.

3 

Terms Specified in Prospectus Supplements	When the relevant issuer decides to sell particular securities, it will prepare one or more prospectus supplements, which in the case of securities such as medium-term notes may be further supplemented by a pricing supplement, describing the securities offering and the specific terms of the securities.  You should carefully read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement.  The relevant issuer may also prepare free writing prospectuses that describe particular securities.  Any free writing prospectus should also be read in connection with this prospectus and with any other prospectus supplement referred to therein.  For purposes of this prospectus, any reference to an applicable prospectus supplement may also refer to a pricing supplement or a free writing prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires.
	Each of Morgan Stanley and MSFL will offer its debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units, and (in the case of Morgan Stanley) preferred stock and common stock, to investors on terms determined by market and other conditions.  Securities issued by either issuer may be sold for U.S. dollars or foreign currency.  Principal of, and any premium or interest on, debt securities and cash amounts payable under warrants or purchase contracts may be payable in U.S. dollars or foreign currency, as specifically designated in the applicable prospectus supplement.
	In any prospectus supplement prepared by the relevant issuer, the relevant issuer will provide the name of and describe the compensation to each dealer, underwriter or agent, if any, involved in the sale of the securities being offered and the managing underwriters for any securities sold to or through underwriters.  Any underwriters, including managing underwriters, dealers or agents in the United States will generally include Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and any outside the United States will generally include Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc or other affiliates of the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable.
Structural Subordination; Morgan Stanley’s Access to Assets Held by Subsidiaries May Be Restricted	The securities issued by Morgan Stanley, including the guarantees of the MSFL securities, are Morgan Stanley’s unsecured senior obligations or, if so provided, unsecured subordinated obligations, but Morgan Stanley’s assets consist primarily of equity in, and receivables from, its subsidiaries.  As a result, Morgan Stanley’s ability (i) to make payments on its debt securities, units, warrants and purchase contracts, (ii) to make payments with respect to its guarantee of securities issued by MSFL and (iii) to pay dividends on its preferred stock and common stock, in each case depends upon its receipt of dividends, loan payments and other funds from its subsidiaries.  In addition, the direct creditors of any subsidiary will have a prior claim on the subsidiary’s assets, if any, and Morgan Stanley’s rights and the rights of its creditors, including your rights as an owner of Morgan Stanley’s debt

4 

	securities, units, warrants, purchase contracts, preferred stock or common stock or your rights under its guarantee of MSFL securities, will be subject to that prior claim, except to the extent that any claims Morgan Stanley may have as a creditor of that subsidiary are paid.  This subordination of parent company creditors to prior claims of creditors of subsidiaries over the subsidiaries’ assets is referred to as structural subordination.
	In addition, various statutes and regulations restrict some of Morgan Stanley’s subsidiaries from paying dividends or making loans or advances to Morgan Stanley.  These restrictions could prevent those subsidiaries from paying the cash to Morgan Stanley that it needs in order to pay you.  These restrictions include:
	·     the net capital requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules of some exchanges and other regulatory bodies, which apply to some of Morgan Stanley’s principal subsidiaries, such as Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, and
	·     banking regulations, which apply to Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., a national bank, Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association (formerly Morgan Stanley Trust FSB), a national bank, and other bank subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley.
Status of the MSFL Securities; Relationship with Morgan Stanley Securities	The securities issued by MSFL are its unsecured obligations and holders of these securities are direct creditors of MSFL, as well as direct creditors of Morgan Stanley under the related guarantee.  As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of the securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding.  Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley.  Holders of securities issued by MSFL should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would not have any priority over and should be treated pari passu with the claims of other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued securities.
Market-making by Affiliates	Following the initial distribution of an offering of securities, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and other affiliates of each of Morgan Stanley and MSFL may offer and sell those securities in the

5 

course of their businesses as broker dealers.  Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and other affiliates of each of Morgan Stanley and MSFL may act as a principal or agent in these transactions.  This prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement will also be used in connection with those transactions.  Sales in any of those transactions will be made at varying prices related to prevailing market prices and other circumstances at the time of sale.

Risk Factors

For a discussion of the risk factors affecting Morgan Stanley and its business, including market risk, credit risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, legal, regulatory and compliance risk, risk management, competitive environment, international risk and acquisition, divestiture and joint venture risk, among others, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and its current and periodic reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

In addition, some of the securities each issuer offers may be subject to risks as described below.

Benchmark Reform and Replacement Risks

Reform of Certain Interest Rate Index and Equity, Commodity and Foreign Exchange Rate Index “Benchmarks”

Certain indices which are deemed “benchmarks,” such as the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), are the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. Some of these reforms are already effective while others may still yet be implemented. These reforms may cause such “benchmarks” to perform differently than in the past, or to disappear entirely, or have other consequences which cannot be predicted. Any such consequence could have a material adverse effect on any securities linked to a “benchmark.”

Any of the international, national or other proposals for reform or the general increased regulatory scrutiny of “benchmarks” could increase the costs and risks of administering or otherwise participating in the setting of a “benchmark” and complying with any such regulations or requirements. Such factors may have the effect of discouraging market participants from continuing to administer or participate in certain “benchmarks,” trigger changes in the rules or methodologies used in certain “benchmarks” or lead to the disappearance of certain “benchmarks.” The disappearance of a “benchmark” or changes in the manner of administration of a “benchmark” could have materially adverse consequences in relation to securities linked to such “benchmark.” Under certain of the base rates described herein, the final alternative method sets the interest rate for an interest period at the same rate as the immediately preceding reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of the interest payable will be the initial interest rate. Any such consequence or other effect of the reform of benchmarks could have a material adverse effect on the value of and return on any such securities, including in connection with any market-making transactions. See also “Description of Debt Securities—Base Rates.”

SOFR-Related Risks

SOFR Has a Limited History; the Future Performance of SOFR Cannot be Predicted Based on Historical Performance

You should note that publication of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) began on April 3, 2018 and it therefore has a limited history. In addition, the future performance of SOFR cannot be predicted based on the limited historical performance. The level of SOFR during the term of any securities linked to SOFR may bear little or no relation to the historical level of SOFR. Prior observed patterns, if any, in the behavior of market variables and their relation to SOFR, such as correlations, may change in the future. While some pre-publication historical data have been released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “New York Federal Reserve”), such analysis inherently involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. The future performance of SOFR is impossible to predict and therefore no future performance of SOFR or any securities linked to SOFR may be inferred from any of the historical simulations or historical performance. Hypothetical or historical performance data are not indicative of, and have no bearing on, the potential performance of SOFR or any securities linked to SOFR. Changes in the levels of SOFR will affect the return on any securities linked to SOFR and the trading price of such securities, but it is impossible to predict whether such levels will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that SOFR or the base rate specified in the applicable prospectus supplement will be positive.

7 

Any Failure of SOFR to Maintain Market Acceptance Could Adversely Affect Any Securities Linked to SOFR

SOFR may fail to maintain market acceptance. SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to the U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) in part because it is considered a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight Treasury repo market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants would not consider SOFR a suitable substitute or successor for all of the purposes for which LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of SOFR. Any failure of SOFR to maintain market acceptance could adversely affect the return on any securities linked to SOFR and the price at which you can sell such securities.

The Composition and Characteristics of SOFR Are Not the Same as Those of LIBOR and There Is No Guarantee That SOFR or the Base Rate Specified in the Applicable Prospectus Supplement Will Be a Comparable Substitute for LIBOR

In June 2017, the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”) announced SOFR as its recommended alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. However, the composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of LIBOR. SOFR is a broad Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding transactions. This means that SOFR is fundamentally different from LIBOR for two key reasons. First, SOFR is a secured rate, while LIBOR is an unsecured rate. Second, SOFR is an overnight rate, while LIBOR represents interbank funding over different maturities. As a result, there can be no assurance that SOFR will perform in the same way as LIBOR would have at any time, including, without limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market, market volatility or global, national or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. For example, since publication of SOFR began on April 3, 2018, daily changes in SOFR have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or other market rates.

Limited Market Precedent Exists for Securities Linked to SOFR

SOFR is relatively new in the marketplace and limited market precedent exists for securities linked to SOFR. For securities that are linked to SOFR, the method for calculating an interest rate based upon SOFR in those precedents varies. Accordingly, the specific formula for the SOFR rate used in any securities linked to SOFR may not be widely adopted by other market participants, if at all. If the market adopts a different calculation method, that may adversely affect the market value of such securities.

The Secondary Trading Market for Securities Linked to SOFR May Be Limited

Since SOFR is a relatively new market rate, any securities linked to SOFR will likely have no established trading market when issued and an established trading market may never develop or may not be very liquid. Market terms for securities linked to SOFR, such as the spread, may evolve over time and, as a result, trading prices of securities linked to SOFR may be lower than those of later-issued securities that are linked to SOFR. Similarly, if SOFR does not prove to be widely used in securities similar to those purchased by the investor, the trading price of such securities may be lower than that of securities linked to rates that are more widely used. Investors in securities linked to SOFR may not be able to sell such securities at all or may not be able to sell such securities at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. Further, investors wishing to sell any securities linked to SOFR in the secondary market will have to make assumptions as to the future performance of SOFR during the interest payment period in which they intend the sale to take place. As a result, investors may suffer from increased pricing volatility and market risk.

The Administrator of SOFR May Make Changes that Could Change the Value of SOFR or Discontinue SOFR and Has No Obligation to Consider an Investor’s Interests in Doing So

The New York Federal Reserve (or a successor), as administrator of SOFR, may make methodological or other changes that could change the value of SOFR, including changes related to the method by which SOFR is

8 

calculated, eligibility criteria applicable to the transactions used to calculate SOFR, or timing related to the publication of SOFR. In addition, the administrator may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of SOFR (in which case a fallback method of determining the interest rate on the securities linked to SOFR, as further described under “Description of Debt Securities—SOFR Debt Securities—Determination of SOFR,” will apply). The administrator has no obligation to consider an investor’s interests in calculating, adjusting, converting, revising or discontinuing SOFR.

In the Event of a Benchmark Transition Event, There Is No Guarantee That Any Benchmark Replacement Will Be a Comparable Substitute for SOFR

If the relevant issuer or its designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred in respect of SOFR, then the interest rate on any securities linked to SOFR will no longer be determined by reference to SOFR, but instead will be determined by reference to a different rate, which will be a different benchmark than SOFR, plus a spread adjustment, which is referred to as a “Benchmark Replacement,” as further described under “Description of Debt Securities—SOFR Debt Securities—Determination of SOFR” below.

If a particular Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment cannot be determined, then the next-available Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply. These replacement rates and adjustments may be selected, recommended or formulated by (i) the Relevant Governmental Body (such as the ARRC), (ii) ISDA or (iii) in certain circumstances, the relevant issuer or its designee. In addition, the terms of any securities linked to SOFR may expressly authorize the relevant issuer or its designee to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to, among other things, changes to the definition of the interest payment period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters. The determination of a Benchmark Replacement, the calculation of the interest rate by reference to a Benchmark Replacement (including the application of a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment), any implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and any other determinations, decisions or elections that may be made under the terms of any securities linked to SOFR in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event could adversely affect the value of such securities, the return on such securities and the price at which an investor can sell such securities.

Any determination, decision or election described above will be made in the relevant issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion.

In addition, (i) the composition and characteristics of the Benchmark Replacement will not be the same as those of SOFR, the Benchmark Replacement will not be the economic equivalent of SOFR, there can be no assurance that the Benchmark Replacement will perform in the same way as SOFR would have at any time and there is no guarantee that the Benchmark Replacement will be a comparable substitute for SOFR (each of which means that a Benchmark Transition Event could adversely affect the value of any securities linked to SOFR, the return on such securities and the price at which an investor can sell such securities), (ii) any failure of the Benchmark Replacement to gain market acceptance could adversely affect any securities linked to SOFR, (iii) the Benchmark Replacement may have a very limited history and the future performance of the Benchmark Replacement cannot be predicted based on historical performance, (iv) the secondary trading market for securities linked to the Benchmark Replacement may be limited and (v) the administrator of the Benchmark Replacement may make changes that could change the value of the Benchmark Replacement or discontinue the Benchmark Replacement and has no obligation to consider an investor’s interests in doing so.

SONIA-Related Risks

SONIA Has a Limited History; the Future Performance of SONIA Cannot be Predicted Based on Historical Performance

You should note that publication of the Sterling Overnight Index Average Rate (“SONIA”) on the basis of its present methodology began on April 24, 2018 and it therefore has a limited history. In addition, the future performance of SONIA cannot be predicted based on the limited historical performance. The level of SONIA

9 

during the term of any securities linked to SONIA may bear little or no relation to the historical level of SONIA. Prior observed patterns, if any, in the behavior of market variables and their relation to SONIA, such as correlations, may change in the future. The future performance of SONIA is impossible to predict and therefore no future performance of SONIA or any securities linked to SONIA may be inferred from any of the historical simulations or historical performance. Hypothetical or historical performance data are not indicative of, and have no bearing on, the potential performance of SONIA or any securities linked to SONIA. Changes in the levels of SONIA will affect the return on any securities linked to SONIA and the trading price of such securities, but it is impossible to predict whether such levels will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that SONIA or the base rate specified in the applicable prospectus supplement will be positive.

Any Failure of SONIA to Maintain Market Acceptance Could Adversely Affect Any Securities Linked to SONIA

SONIA may fail to maintain market acceptance. SONIA is the Working Group on Sterling Risk-Free Reference Rates’ preferred benchmark for the transition to sterling risk-free rates from LIBOR. However, market participants may not consider SONIA a suitable substitute or successor for all of the purposes for which LIBOR historically has been used, which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of SONIA. The market or a significant part thereof may adopt an application of SONIA that differs significantly from that described herein. Any failure of SONIA to maintain market acceptance could adversely affect the return on any securities linked to SONIA and the price at which you can sell such securities.

The Composition and Characteristics of SONIA Are Not the Same as Those of LIBOR and There Is No Guarantee That SONIA or the Base Rate Specified in the Applicable Prospectus Supplement Will Be a Comparable Substitute for LIBOR

In April 2017, the Working Group on Sterling Risk-Free Reference Rates announced SONIA as its preferred risk-free rate for sterling. However, the composition and characteristics of SONIA are not the same as those of LIBOR. SONIA is a measure of the rate at which interest is paid on sterling short-term wholesale funds in circumstances where credit, liquidity and other risks are minimal. While SONIA and LIBOR are both unsecured rates, SONIA is solely an overnight rate, unlike LIBOR, which represents interbank funding over different maturities. As a result, there can be no assurance that SONIA will perform in the same way as LIBOR would have at any time, including, without limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market, market volatility or global, national or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. For example, since the initial publication of SONIA, daily changes in SONIA have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or other market rates.

Limited Market Precedent Exists for Securities Linked to SONIA

SONIA is relatively new in the marketplace and limited market precedent exists for securities linked to SONIA. For securities that are linked to SONIA, the method for calculating an interest rate based upon SONIA in those precedents varies. Accordingly, the specific formula for the SONIA rate used in any securities linked to SONIA may not be widely adopted by other market participants, if at all. If the market adopts a different calculation method, that may adversely affect the market value of such securities.

The Secondary Trading Market for Securities Linked to SONIA May Be Limited

Since SONIA is a relatively new market rate, any securities linked to SONIA will likely have no established trading market when issued and an established trading market may never develop or may not be very liquid. Market terms for securities linked to SONIA, such as the spread, may evolve over time and, as a result, trading prices of securities linked to SONIA may be lower than those of later-issued securities that are linked to SONIA. Similarly, if SONIA does not prove to be widely used in securities similar to those purchased by the investor, the trading price of such securities may be lower than that of securities linked to rates that are more widely used. Investors in securities linked to SONIA may not be able to sell such securities at all or may not be able to sell such securities at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. Further, investors wishing to sell any securities linked to SONIA in the secondary market will have to make assumptions as to the future performance of SONIA during the interest payment period in which they intend the sale to take place. As a result, investors may suffer from increased pricing volatility and market risk.

The Administrator of SONIA May Make Changes that Could Change the Value of SONIA or Discontinue SONIA and Has No Obligation to Consider an Investor’s Interests in Doing So

The Bank of England (or a successor), as administrator of SONIA, may make methodological or other changes that could change the value of SONIA, including changes related to the method by which SONIA is calculated, eligibility criteria applicable to the transactions used to calculate SONIA, or timing related to the publication of SONIA. In addition, the administrator may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of SONIA (in which case a fallback method of determining the interest rate on the securities linked to SONIA, as further described under “Description of Debt Securities—SONIA Debt Securities—Determination of SONIA” will apply). The administrator has no obligation to consider an investor’s interests in calculating, adjusting, converting, revising or discontinuing SONIA.

If SONIA Has Been Permanently Discontinued, There Is No Guarantee That Any Alternative Rate Will Be a Comparable Substitute for SONIA

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, then the interest rate on any securities linked to SONIA will no longer be determined by reference to SONIA, but instead will be determined by reference to a different rate, which will be a different benchmark than SONIA, which is referred to as an “Alternative Rate,” as further described under “Description of Debt Securities—SONIA Debt Securities—Determination of SONIA” below. The Alternative Rate will be the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the United Kingdom that is consistent with accepted market practice. In addition, the terms of any securities linked to SONIA may expressly authorize the relevant issuer or its designee to make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread, as well as the applicable business day convention, interest determination dates and related provisions and definitions of such securities, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for obligations such as the securities. The determination of an Alternative Rate, the calculation of the interest rate on any securities linked to SONIA by reference to an Alternative Rate, any implementation of adjustments and any other determinations, decisions or elections that may be made under the terms of any securities linked to SONIA in connection with the replacement of SONIA could adversely affect the value of such securities, the return on such securities and the price at which an investor can sell such securities.

Any determination, decision or election described above will be made in the relevant issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion.

In addition, (i) the composition and characteristics of the Alternative Rate will not be the same as those of SONIA, the Alternative Rate will not be the economic equivalent of SONIA, there can be no assurance that the Alternative Rate will perform in the same way as SONIA would have at any time and there is no guarantee that the Alternative Rate will be a comparable substitute for SONIA (each of which means that the replacement of SONIA by the Alternative Rate could adversely affect the value of any securities linked to SONIA, the return on such securities and the price at which an investor can sell such securities), (ii) any failure of the Alternative Rate to gain market acceptance could adversely affect any securities linked to SONIA, (iii) the Alternative Rate may have a very limited history and the future performance of the Alternative Rate cannot be predicted based on historical performance, (iv) the secondary trading market for securities linked to the Alternative Rate may be limited and (v) the administrator of the Alternative Rate may make changes that could change the value of the Alternative Rate or discontinue the Alternative Rate and has no obligation to consider an investor’s interests in doing so.

Foreign-Currency Risks

You should consult your financial and legal advisers as to any specific risks entailed by an investment in securities that are denominated or payable in, or the payment of which is linked to the value of, a currency other than the currency of the country in which you are resident or in which you conduct your business, which is referred to as your “home currency.” These securities are not appropriate investments for investors who are not sophisticated in foreign currency transactions. The relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, disclaim any responsibility to advise prospective purchasers who are residents of countries other than the United States of any matters arising under non-U.S. law that may affect the purchase of or holding of, or the receipt of payments on, these securities. These persons should consult their own legal and financial advisers concerning these matters.

Exchange Rates and Exchange Controls May Affect Securities’ Value or Return

General Exchange Rate and Exchange Control Risks. An investment in a security that is denominated or payable in, or the payment of which is linked to the value of, currencies other than your home currency entails significant risks. These risks include the possibility of significant changes in rates of exchange between your home currency and the relevant foreign currencies and the possibility of the imposition or modification of exchange controls by the relevant governmental entities. These risks generally depend on economic and political events over which the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, have no control.

Exchange Rates Will Affect Your Investment. In recent years, rates of exchange between some currencies have been highly volatile and this volatility may continue in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate that have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative, however, of fluctuations that may occur during the term of any security. Depreciation against your home currency of the currency in which a security is payable would result in a decrease in the effective yield of the security below its coupon rate or in the payout of the security and could result in an overall loss to you on a home currency basis. In addition, depending on the specific terms of a currency-linked security, changes in exchange rates relating to any of the relevant currencies could result in a decrease in its effective yield and in your loss of all or a substantial portion of the value of that security.

There May Be Specific Exchange Rate Risks Applicable to Warrants and Purchase Contracts. Fluctuations in the rates of exchange between your home currency and any other currency (i) in which the exercise price of a warrant or the purchase price of a purchase contract is payable, (ii) in which the value of the property underlying a warrant or purchase contract is quoted or (iii) to be purchased or sold by exercise of a warrant or pursuant to a purchase contract or in the rates of exchange among any of these currencies may change the value of a warrant, a purchase contract or a unit that includes a warrant or purchase contract. You could lose money on your investment as a result of these fluctuations, even if the spot price of the property underlying the warrant or purchase contract were such that the warrant or purchase contract appeared to be “in the money.”

The Relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, If Applicable, Have No Control Over Exchange Rates. Currency exchange rates can either float or be fixed by sovereign governments. Exchange rates of most economically developed nations are permitted to fluctuate in value relative to each other. However, from time to time governments may use a variety of techniques, such as intervention by a country’s central bank, the imposition of regulatory controls or taxes or changes in interest rates to influence the exchange rates of their currencies. Governments may also issue a new currency to replace an existing currency or alter the exchange rate or relative exchange characteristics by a devaluation or revaluation of a currency. These governmental actions could change or interfere with currency valuations and currency fluctuations that would otherwise occur in response to economic forces, as well as in response to the movement of currencies across borders.

As a consequence, these government actions could adversely affect yields or payouts in your home currency for (i) securities denominated or payable in currencies other than your home currency, (ii) currency-linked securities, (iii) warrants or purchase contracts where the exercise price or the purchase price is denominated in a currency differing from your home currency or where the value of the property underlying the warrants or purchase contracts is quoted in a currency other than your home currency and (iv) warrants or purchase contracts to purchase or sell foreign currency.

The relevant issuer will not make any adjustment or change in the terms of the securities in the event that exchange rates should become fixed, or in the event of any devaluation or revaluation or imposition of exchange or other regulatory controls or taxes, or in the event of other developments affecting your home currency or any applicable foreign currency. You will bear those risks.

Some Foreign Currencies May Become Unavailable. Governments have imposed from time to time, and may in the future impose, exchange controls that could also affect the availability of a specified currency. Even if there are no actual exchange controls, it is possible that the applicable currency for any security would not be available when payments on that security are due.

Alternative Payment Method Used if Payment Currency Becomes Unavailable. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, if a payment currency is unavailable, the relevant issuer would make required

12 

payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the market exchange rate, which might be an extremely unfavorable rate at the time of any such unavailability. However, if the applicable currency for any security is not available because the euro has been substituted for that currency, the payments would be made in euro. The mechanisms for making payments in these alternative currencies are explained in “Description of Debt Securities—Interest and Principal Payments” below.

Currency Conversions May Affect Payments on Some Securities

The applicable prospectus supplement may provide for (i) payments on a non-U.S. dollar denominated security to be made in U.S. dollars or (ii) payments on a U.S. dollar denominated security to be made in a currency other than U.S. dollars. In these cases, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, in its capacity as exchange rate agent, or a different exchange rate agent identified in the applicable prospectus supplement, will convert the currencies. You will bear the costs of conversion through deductions from those payments. Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc is an affiliate of each of Morgan Stanley and MSFL.

Exchange Rates May Affect the Value of a New York Judgment Involving Non-U.S. Dollar Securities

The securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. If a New York court were to enter a judgment in an action on any securities denominated in a foreign currency, such court would enter a judgment in the foreign currency and convert the judgment or decree into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date such judgment or decree is entered.

Finance Subsidiary Risks

As a Finance Subsidiary, MSFL Has No Independent Operations and Will Have No Independent Assets

MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of the securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley. Holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. Holders of securities issued by MSFL should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would not have any priority over and should be treated pari passu with the claims of other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued securities.

Securities Issued by MSFL Will Not Have the Benefit of any Cross-Default or Cross-Acceleration with Other Indebtedness of MSFL or Morgan Stanley; A Morgan Stanley Covenant Default or Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Event Does Not Constitute an Event of Default With Respect to MSFL Securities

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the securities issued by MSFL will not have the benefit of any cross-default or cross-acceleration with other indebtedness of MSFL or Morgan Stanley. In addition, a covenant default by Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, or an event of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, does not constitute an event of default with respect to any securities issued by MSFL.

Additional risks specific to particular securities will be detailed in the applicable prospectus supplements.

Description of Debt Securities

Morgan Stanley Debt May Be Senior or Subordinated

Morgan Stanley may issue senior or subordinated debt securities. The senior debt securities will constitute part of its senior debt, will be issued under its Senior Debt Indenture, as defined below under “—Indentures,” and will rank on a parity with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will constitute part of Morgan Stanley’s subordinated debt, will be issued under its Subordinated Debt Indenture, as defined below under “—Indentures,” and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, as set forth in the Subordinated Debt Indenture, to all of its “senior indebtedness,” which is defined in its Subordinated Debt Indenture. If this prospectus is being delivered in connection with a series of subordinated debt securities, the accompanying prospectus supplement or the information incorporated in this prospectus by reference will indicate the approximate amount of senior indebtedness outstanding as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter.

Morgan Stanley has summarized below the material provisions of its indentures and the debt securities, or indicated which material provisions will be described in the related prospectus supplement. These descriptions are only summaries, and each investor should refer to the applicable indenture and any supplements thereto, which describe completely the terms and definitions summarized below and contains additional information regarding the debt securities. Where appropriate, Morgan Stanley uses parentheses to refer you to the particular sections of the applicable indenture. Any reference to particular sections or defined terms of the applicable indenture in any statement under this heading qualifies the entire statement and incorporates by reference the applicable section or definition into that statement. Morgan Stanley’s indentures are substantially identical, except for the provisions relating to Morgan Stanley’s negative pledge and to debt securities issued under the NSS (as defined below), which are included in the Senior Debt Indenture only and the provisions relating to subordination and the shorter list of events of default under the Subordinated Debt Indenture.

MSFL Debt Will Be Senior

MSFL may only issue senior debt securities. The senior debt securities will constitute part of its senior debt, will be issued under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, as defined below under “—Indentures,” and will rank on a parity with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. MSFL’s senior debt securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley and holders of these securities should assume that in any bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding, they would not have any priority over and should be treated pari passu with the claims of other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued

17 

securities. See “Risk Factors—As a Finance Subsidiary, MSFL Has No Independent Operations and Will Have No Independent Assets.”

MSFL has summarized below the material provisions of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture and the debt securities, including the guarantee of Morgan Stanley, or indicated which material provisions will be described in the related prospectus supplement. These descriptions are only summaries, and each investor should refer to the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture and any supplements thereto, which describe completely the terms and definitions summarized below and contain additional information regarding the debt securities. Where appropriate, MSFL uses parentheses to refer you to the particular sections of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture. Any reference to particular sections or defined terms of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture in any statement under this heading qualifies the entire statement and incorporates by reference the applicable section or definition into that statement.

Morgan Stanley and MSFL Debt May Be Issued in One or More Series

In this prospectus, the Senior Debt Indenture and the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture are referred to individually as a “senior indenture” and, collectively as the “senior indentures” and, collectively with the Subordinated Debt Indenture (also referred to as the subordinated indenture), the “indentures.”

Each issuer may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series. The provisions of each indenture allow the relevant issuer to “reopen” a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that issue. The debt securities may be denominated and payable in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. Each issuer may also issue debt securities, from time to time, with the principal amount or interest payable on any relevant payment date to be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates or indices of currency exchange rates, securities or baskets or indices of securities or other property, commodity prices or indices, or any other property, or any combination of the foregoing. Holders of these types of debt securities will receive payments of principal or interest that depend upon the value of the applicable underlying asset on the relevant payment dates.

Debt securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate, which, in either case, may be zero, or at a rate that varies during the term of the debt security. Debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount.

Some Definitions

Morgan Stanley and MSFL have defined some of the terms that are used frequently in this prospectus below:

A “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (i) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (a) in The City of New York or (b) for debt securities denominated in a specified currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the

19 

principal financial center of the country of the specified currency or (c) for debt securities denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney, and (ii) for debt securities denominated in euro, that is also a TARGET Settlement Day.

“Clearstream, Luxembourg” means Clearstream Banking S.A.

“Depositary” means The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York.

“Euroclear” means Euroclear Bank SA/NV.

An “interest payment date” for any debt security means a date on which, under the terms of that debt security, regularly scheduled interest is payable.

“London banking day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in the relevant index currency are transacted in the London interbank market.

The “NSS” means the new safekeeping structure for certain debt securities in registered global form. Any debt security in registered global form issued under the NSS is to be deposited with a common safekeeper for Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg.

The “record date” for any interest payment date, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, is the date 15 calendar days prior to that interest payment date, whether or not that date is a business day.

“T2” means the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system.

“TARGET Settlement Day” means any day on which T2 is open for the settlement of payment in euro.

References in this prospectus to “U.S. dollar,” or “U.S.$” or “$” are to the currency of the United States of America. References in this prospectus to “euro” and “€” are to the single currency introduced at the commencement of the third stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended.

Interest and Principal Payments

Payments, Exchanges and Transfers. Holders may present debt securities for payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, register the transfer of the debt securities and exchange the debt securities at the agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, maintained by the relevant issuer for that purpose. However, holders of global debt securities may transfer and exchange global debt securities only in the manner and to the extent set forth under “Forms of Securities—Global Securities” below. On the date of this prospectus, the agent for the payment, transfer and exchange of debt securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture is The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)) acting through its corporate trust office at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286; the agent for the payment, transfer and exchange of debt securities issued under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture is The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its corporate trust office at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286; and the agent for the payment, transfer and exchange of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture is The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), acting through its corporate trust office at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286. The Bank of New York Mellon, acting in this capacity for the respective debt securities, is referred to as the paying agent.

The relevant issuer will not be required to:

· register the transfer of or exchange any debt security if the holder has exercised the holder’s right, if any, to require the relevant issuer to repurchase the debt security, in whole or in part, except the portion of the debt security not required to be repurchased;

· register the transfer of or exchange debt securities to be redeemed for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption; or

20 

· register the transfer of or exchange any registered debt security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpaid portion of that registered debt security being redeemed in part.

No service charge will be made for any registration or transfer or exchange of debt securities, but the relevant issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the registration of transfer or exchange of debt securities.

Although the relevant issuer anticipates making payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on most debt securities in U.S. dollars, some debt securities may be payable in foreign currencies as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Currently, few facilities exist in the United States to convert U.S. dollars into foreign currencies and vice versa. In addition, most U.S. banks do not offer non-U.S. dollar denominated checking or savings account facilities. Accordingly, unless alternative arrangements are made, the relevant issuer will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on debt securities that are payable in a foreign currency to an account at a bank outside the United States, which, in the case of a debt security payable in euro, will be made by credit or transfer to a euro account specified by the payee in a country for which the euro is the lawful currency.

Recipients of Payments. The paying agent will pay interest to the person in whose name the debt security is registered at the close of business on the applicable record date. However, upon maturity, redemption or repayment, the paying agent will pay any interest due to the person to whom it pays the principal of the debt security. The paying agent will make the payment of interest on the date of maturity, redemption or repayment, whether or not that date is an interest payment date. The paying agent will make the initial interest payment on a debt security on the first interest payment date falling after the date of issuance, unless the date of issuance is less than 15 calendar days before an interest payment date. In that case, the paying agent will pay interest or, in the case of an amortizing debt security, principal and interest, on the next succeeding interest payment date to the holder of record on the record date corresponding to the succeeding interest payment date.

Book-Entry Debt Securities. The paying agent will make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to the account of the Depositary, as holder of book-entry debt securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The relevant issuer expects that the Depositary, upon receipt of any payment, will immediately credit its participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the book-entry debt securities as shown on the records of the Depositary. The relevant issuer also expects that payments by the Depositary’s participants to owners of beneficial interests in the book-entry debt securities will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of those participants.

Certificated Debt Securities. Except as indicated below for payments of interest at maturity, redemption or repayment, the paying agent will make U.S. dollar payments of interest either:

· by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to payment as shown on the debt security register; or

· for a holder of at least $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of certificated debt securities of a series having the same interest payment date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the holder has given written notice to the paying agent not later than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable interest payment date.

U.S. dollar payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, upon maturity, redemption or repayment on a debt security will be made in immediately available funds against presentation and surrender of the debt security.

Unavailability of Foreign Currency. The relevant specified currency may not be available to the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, for making payments of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any debt security. This could occur due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, or if the specified currency is no longer used by the government of the country issuing that currency or by public institutions within the international banking community for the settlement of transactions. If the specified currency is unavailable, the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, may satisfy its obligations to holders of the debt securities by making those payments on the date of payment in U.S. dollars on the basis of the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of the currency or currencies in which a payment on any debt security was to be made, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which is referred to as the “market exchange rate.” If that rate of exchange is not then available or is not

21 

published for a particular payment currency, the market exchange rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the exchange rate agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers for the purchase by the quoting dealer:

· of the specified currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date;

· in the aggregate amount of the specified currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of debt securities; and

· at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract.

One of the dealers providing quotations may be the exchange rate agent unless the exchange rate agent is an affiliate of the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable. If those bid quotations are not available, the exchange rate agent will determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

These provisions do not apply if a specified currency is unavailable because it has been replaced by the euro. If the euro has been substituted for a specified currency, the relevant issuer may at its option, or will, if required by applicable law, without the consent of the holders of the affected debt securities, pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any debt security denominated in the specified currency in euro instead of the specified currency, in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made in U.S. dollars or in euro as described above where the required payment is in an unavailable specified currency will not constitute an event of default under the relevant indenture.

Discount Debt Securities. Some debt securities may be considered to be issued with original issue discount, which must be included in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes at a constant yield. These debt securities are referred to as “discount notes.” See the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Discount Notes” below. In the event of a redemption or repayment of any discount note or if the principal of any debt security that is considered to be issued with original issue discount is declared to be due and payable immediately as described under “Description of Debt Securities—Events of Default” below, the amount of principal due and payable on that debt security will be limited to:

· the aggregate principal amount of the debt security multiplied by the sum of

o its issue price, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount, plus

o the original issue discount amortized from the interest accrual date for the applicable discount note to the date of declaration, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount.

For purposes of determining the amount of original issue discount that has accrued as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity occurs for a discount note, original issue discount will be accrued using a constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the initial period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between interest payment dates for the applicable discount note (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), and an assumption that the maturity of a discount note will not be accelerated. If the period from the date of issue to the first interest payment date for a discount note (the “initial period”) is shorter than the compounding period for the discount note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the initial period is longer than the compounding period, then the period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence. The accrual of the applicable original issue discount discussed above may differ from the accrual of original issue discount for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), certain discount notes may not be treated as having original issue discount within the meaning of the Code, and debt securities other than discount notes may be treated as issued with original issue discount for federal income tax purposes. See the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” below. See the applicable prospectus supplement for any special considerations applicable to these debt securities.

Fixed Rate Debt Securities

Each fixed rate debt security will bear interest from the date of issuance at the annual rate stated on its face until the principal is paid or made available for payment.

How Interest Is Calculated. Interest on fixed rate debt securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months (30/360); provided that if the applicable prospectus supplement specifies that the day-count convention is 30/360 (Bond Basis), then interest on the fixed rate debt securities will be computed based on the number of days in the interest payment period (as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement) for which interest is being calculated divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows:

where:

“Y₁” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest payment period falls;

“Y₂” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest payment period falls;

“M₁” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest payment period falls;

“M₂” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest payment period falls;

“D₁” is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the interest payment period, unless such number would be 31, in which case D₁ will be 30; and

“D₂” is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the interest payment period, unless such number would be 31 and D₁ is greater than 29, in which case D₂ will be 30.

How Interest Accrues. Interest on fixed rate debt securities will accrue from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the issue date or any other date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement on which interest begins to accrue. Interest will accrue to but excluding the next interest payment date, or, if earlier, the date on which the principal has been paid or duly made available for payment, except as described below under “—If a Payment Date Is Not a Business Day.”

When Interest Is Paid. Payments of interest on fixed rate debt securities will be made on the interest payment dates specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. However, if the period of time between the issue date and the first interest payment date thereafter is less than the period of time between a record date and an interest payment date, interest will not be paid on the first interest payment date, but will be paid on the second interest payment date.

Amount of Interest Payable. Interest payments for fixed rate debt securities will include accrued interest from and including the date of issue (or any other date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement on which interest begins to accrue) or from and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to but excluding the relevant interest payment date or date of maturity or earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

If a Payment Date Is Not a Business Day. If any scheduled interest payment date is not a business day, the relevant issuer will pay interest on the next business day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled interest payment date. If the scheduled maturity date or date of redemption or repayment is not a business day, the relevant issuer may pay interest, if any, and principal and premium, if any, on the next succeeding business day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled maturity date or date of redemption or repayment.

23 

Amortizing Debt Securities. A fixed rate debt security may pay scheduled amounts in respect of both interest and principal amortized over the term of the debt security. Payments of principal and interest on amortizing debt securities will be made on the interest payment dates specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, and at maturity or upon any earlier redemption or repayment. Payments on amortizing debt securities will be applied first to interest due and payable and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount. The relevant issuer will provide to the original purchaser, and will furnish to subsequent holders upon request to the relevant issuer, a table setting forth repayment information for each amortizing debt security.

Floating Rate Debt Securities

Each floating rate debt security will mature on the date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Each floating rate debt security will bear interest at a floating rate determined by reference to an interest rate or interest rate formula, which is referred to as the “base rate.” The base rate may be one or more of the following:

· the commercial paper rate;

· EURIBOR;

· the federal funds rate;

· the federal funds (open) rate;

· the prime rate;

· the Treasury rate;

· the CMT rate;

· the CMS rate; or

· any other rate or interest rate formula specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and in the floating rate debt security.

Formula for Interest Rates. The interest rate on each floating rate debt security will be calculated by reference to:

· the specified base rate based on the index maturity;

· plus or minus the spread, if any; and/or

· multiplied by the spread multiplier, if any.

For any floating rate debt security, “index maturity” means the period of maturity of the instrument or obligation from which the base rate is calculated and will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The “spread” is the number of basis points (one one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified in the applicable prospectus supplement to be added to or subtracted from the base rate for a floating rate debt security. The “spread multiplier” is the percentage specified in the applicable prospectus supplement to be applied to the base rate for a floating rate debt security. The interest rate on any inverse floating rate debt security will also be calculated by reference to a fixed rate.

Limitations on Interest Rate. A floating rate debt security may also have either or both of the following limitations on the interest rate:

· a maximum limitation, or ceiling, on the rate of interest which may accrue during any interest period, which is referred to as the “maximum interest rate”; and/or

24 

· a minimum limitation, or floor, on the rate of interest that may accrue during any interest period, which is referred to as the “minimum interest rate.”

Any applicable maximum interest rate or minimum interest rate will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

In addition, the interest rate on a floating rate debt security may not be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as that rate may be modified by United States law of general application. Under current New York law, the maximum rate of interest, subject to some exceptions, for any loan in an amount less than $250,000 is 16% and for any loan in the amount of $250,000 or more but less than $2,500,000 is 25% per annum on a simple interest basis. These limits do not apply to loans of $2,500,000 or more.

How Floating Interest Rates Are Reset. The interest rate in effect from the date of issue (or any other date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement on which interest begins to accrue) to the first interest reset date for a floating rate debt security will be the initial interest rate specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. This rate is referred to as the “initial interest rate.” The interest rate on each floating rate debt security may be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. This period is the “interest reset period” and the first day of each interest reset period is the “interest reset date.” The “interest determination date” for any interest reset date is the day the calculation agent will refer to when determining the new interest rate at which a floating rate will reset, and is applicable as follows:

· for federal funds rate debt securities, federal funds (open) rate debt securities, and prime rate debt securities, the interest determination date will be on the business day prior to the interest reset date;

· for commercial paper rate debt securities and CMT rate debt securities, the interest determination date will be the second business day prior to the interest reset date;

· for CMS rate debt securities, the interest determination date will be the second U.S. government securities business day prior to the interest reset date;

· for EURIBOR debt securities, the interest determination date will be the second TARGET Settlement Day, as defined above under “Description of Debt Securities—Some Definitions,” prior to the interest reset date;

· for Treasury rate debt security, the interest determination date will be the day of the week in which the interest reset date falls on which Treasury bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the interest reset date, the interest determination date will be that preceding Friday; and

· for debt securities with two or more base rates, the interest determination date will be the latest business day that is at least two business days before the applicable interest reset date on which each base rate is determinable.

If Treasury bills are sold at an auction that falls on a day that is an interest reset date, that interest reset date will be the next following business day.

“U.S. government securities business day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

The interest reset dates will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. If an interest reset date for any floating rate debt security falls on a day that is not a business day, it will be postponed to the following business day, except that, in the case of a EURIBOR debt security, if that business day is in the next calendar month, the interest reset date will be the immediately preceding business day.

25 

The interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be the one in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding the maturity, redemption or repayment date.

In the detailed descriptions of the various base rates which follow, the “calculation date” pertaining to an interest determination date means the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after that interest determination date, or, if that day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day, or (ii) the business day immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date or maturity date or, for any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date.

How Interest Is Calculated. Interest on floating rate debt securities will accrue from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the issue date or any other date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement on which interest begins to accrue. Interest will accrue to but excluding the next interest payment date or, if earlier, the date on which the principal has been paid or duly made available for payment, except as described below under “—If a Payment Date Is Not a Business Day.”

The applicable prospectus supplement will specify a calculation agent for any issue of floating rate debt securities. Upon the request of the holder of any floating rate debt security, the calculation agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next interest reset date for that floating rate debt security. The calculation agent will notify the paying agents and, in the case of floating rate debt securities which are admitted to listing or trading by any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system, and where the rules of such listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system so require, such listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system of each determination of the interest rate applicable to any floating rate debt security promptly after the determination is made.

For a floating rate debt security, accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the floating rate debt security by an accrued interest factor. This accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to that day:

· by 360, in the case of commercial paper rate debt securities, EURIBOR debt securities, federal funds rate debt securities, federal funds (open) rate debt securities, prime rate debt securities and CMS rate debt securities; or

· by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of Treasury rate debt securities, CMT rate debt securities and securities for which the applicable prospectus supplement provides that the day count convention will be “actual/actual.”

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any interest reset date will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding interest reset date or, if none, the initial interest rate.

All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on a floating rate debt security will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%, and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from these calculations on floating rate debt securities will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from these calculations will be rounded downward to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from these calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in that currency, with .005 rounded up to .01.

When Interest Is Paid. The relevant issuer will pay interest on floating rate debt securities on the interest payment dates specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. However, if the period of time between the issue date and the first interest payment date thereafter is less than the period of time between a record date and an interest payment date, interest will not be paid on the first interest payment date, but will be paid on the second interest payment date.

26 

If a Payment Date Is Not a Business Day. If any scheduled interest payment date, other than the maturity date or any earlier redemption or repayment date, for any floating rate debt security falls on a day that is not a business day, it will be postponed to the following business day, except that, in the case of a EURIBOR debt security, if that business day would fall in the next calendar month, the interest payment date will be the immediately preceding business day. If the scheduled maturity date or any earlier redemption or repayment date of a floating rate debt security falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be made on the next succeeding business day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the maturity, redemption or repayment date.

Base Rates

Commercial Paper Rate Debt Securities. Commercial paper rate debt securities will bear interest at the interest rates specified in the commercial paper rate debt securities and in the applicable prospectus supplement. Those interest rates will be based on the commercial paper rate and any spread and/or spread multiplier and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any.

The “commercial paper rate” means, for any interest determination date, the money market yield, calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper—Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures will be followed if the commercial paper rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that calculation date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the calculation agent will determine the commercial paper rate to be the money market yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that interest determination date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the relevant issuer or its designee, after consultation with the relevant issuer, for commercial paper of the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

· If the dealers selected by the relevant issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the commercial paper rate for that interest determination date will remain the commercial paper rate for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

The “money market yield” will be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

money market yield =	D × 360	×   100
	360 – (D × M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

EURIBOR Debt Securities. EURIBOR debt securities will bear interest at the interest rates specified in the EURIBOR debt securities and in the applicable prospectus supplement. That interest rate will be based on EURIBOR and any spread and/or spread multiplier and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any.

“EURIBOR” means, for any interest determination date, the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI - The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the index

27 

maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service, which is commonly referred to as “Reuters Page EURIBOR01” as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures will be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If the above rate does not appear, the calculation agent will request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the relevant issuer or its designee, after consultation with the relevant issuer, to provide the calculation agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the interest determination date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement commencing on the applicable interest reset date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

· If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the relevant issuer or its designee, after consultation with the relevant issuer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable interest reset date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement commencing on that interest reset date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

· If the banks so selected by the relevant issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that interest determination date will remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

· If the relevant issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the calculation agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future interest determination date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable index currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the relevant issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, interest determination dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt securities such as the applicable debt security. If, however, the relevant issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the relevant issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt securities such as the applicable debt security, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the interest determination dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprising Member States of the European Union that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Federal Funds Rate Debt Securities. Federal funds rate debt securities will bear interest at the interest rates specified in the federal funds rate debt securities and in the applicable prospectus supplement. Those interest rates will be based on the federal funds rate and any spread and/or spread multiplier and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any.

The “federal funds rate” means, for any interest determination date, the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service, which is commonly referred to as “Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1.”

The following procedures will be followed if the federal funds rate cannot be determined as described above:

28 

· If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the calculation date, the federal funds rate will be the rate on that interest determination date as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective).”

· If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the calculation date, the calculation agent will determine the federal funds rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that interest determination date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the relevant issuer or its designee, after consultation with the relevant issuer.

· If the brokers selected by the relevant issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the federal funds rate for that interest determination date will remain the federal funds rate for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

Federal Funds (Open) Rate Debt Securities. Federal funds (open) rate debt securities will bear interest at the interest rates specified in the federal funds (open) rate debt securities and in the applicable prospectus supplement. Those interest rates will be based on the federal funds (open) rate and any spread and/or spread multiplier and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any.

The “federal funds (open) rate” means, for any interest determination date, the federal funds rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service, which is commonly referred to as “Reuters Page 5.”

The following procedures will be followed if the federal funds (open) rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the calculation date, the federal funds (open) rate will be the rate on that interest determination date displayed on FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the calculation date, the calculation agent will determine the federal funds (open) rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that interest determination date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the relevant issuer or its designee, after consultation with the relevant issuer.

· If the brokers selected by the relevant issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the federal funds (open) rate for that interest determination date will remain the federal funds (open) rate for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

Prime Rate Debt Securities. Prime rate debt securities will bear interest at the interest rates specified in the prime rate debt securities and in the applicable prospectus supplement. That interest rate will be based on the prime rate and any spread and/or spread multiplier, and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any.

The “prime rate” means, for any interest determination date, the rate on that date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Bank Prime Loan.”

The following procedures will be followed if the prime rate cannot be determined as described above:

29 

· If the above rate is not published in the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the calculation date, the calculation agent will determine the prime rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1, as defined below, as that bank’s prime rate or base lending rate, as of 11:30 a.m. New York City time, as in effect for that interest determination date.

· If fewer than four rates for that interest determination date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the calculation date, the calculation agent will determine the prime rate to be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that interest determination date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the agent, selected by the relevant issuer or its designee, after consultation with the relevant issuer.

· If the banks selected by the relevant issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the prime rate for that interest determination date will remain the prime rate for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

Treasury Rate Debt Securities. Treasury rate debt securities will bear interest at the interest rates specified in the Treasury rate debt securities and in the applicable prospectus supplement. That interest rate will be based on the Treasury rate and any spread and/or spread multiplier and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any.

The “Treasury rate” means:

· the rate from the auction held on the applicable interest determination date, which is referred to as the “auction,” of direct obligations of the United States, which are commonly referred to as “Treasury Bills,” having the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement as that rate appears under the caption “INVEST RATE” on the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on page USAUCTION10 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION10 on that service, which is referred to as “Reuters Page USAUCTION10,” or on page USAUCTION11 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION11 on that service, which is referred to as “Reuters Page USAUCTION11”; or

· if the rate described in the first bullet point is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related calculation date, the bond equivalent yield of the auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills, announced by the United States Department of the Treasury; or

· if the rate referred to in the second bullet point is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the auction is not held, the bond equivalent yield of the auction rate on the applicable interest determination date of Treasury Bills having the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”; or

· if the rate referred to in the third bullet point is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related calculation date, the rate on the applicable interest determination date calculated by the calculation agent as the bond equivalent yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable interest determination date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the relevant issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement; or

30 

· if the dealers selected by the relevant issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Treasury rate for that interest determination date will remain the Treasury rate for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

The “bond equivalent yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

bond equivalent yield =	D × N	×  100
	360 – (D × M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

CMT Rate Debt Securities. CMT rate debt securities will bear interest at the interest rates specified in the CMT rate debt securities and in the applicable prospectus supplement. That interest rate will be based on the CMT rate and any spread and/or spread multiplier and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any.

The “CMT rate” means, for any interest determination date, any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

· the rate on that interest determination date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

· the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related interest determination date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures will be followed if the CMT rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related calculation date, then the CMT rate will be the Treasury Constant Maturities rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the interest determination date for the related interest reset date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the calculation agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

· If the information described in the first bullet point is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related calculation date, then the calculation agent will determine the CMT rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers, which is referred to as a “reference dealer,” in The City of New York, which may include the agent or another affiliate of the relevant issuer, selected by the relevant issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The relevant issuer or its designee, after consultation with the relevant issuer, will select five reference dealers and will eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States, which are commonly referred to as “Treasury notes,” with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated

31 

CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used.

· If three Treasury notes quotations are not obtained as described in the immediately preceding bullet, the calculation agent will determine the CMT rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date of three reference dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in the immediately preceding paragraph, for Treasury notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

· If three or four, and not five, of the reference dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes will be eliminated.

· If fewer than three reference dealers selected by the relevant issuer or its designee are quoting as described above, the CMT rate for that interest determination date will remain the CMT rate for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated in the applicable prospectus supplement or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Designated CMT Reuters Page will be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, for which the CMT rate will be calculated. If no maturity is specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Designated CMT Maturity Index will be two years.

CMS Rate Debt Securities. CMS rate debt securities will bear interest at the interest rates specified in the CMS rate debt securities and in the applicable prospectus supplement. That interest rate will be based on the CMS rate and any spread and/or spread multiplier and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any.

“CMS” means that the rate for an interest reset date will be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the interest determination date. Reuters, Bloomberg and various other third-party sources may report the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate. If any such reported rate differs from that as provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, the rate as provided by such administrator will prevail.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate will be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

32 

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the index maturity in respect of an interest reset date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such interest reset date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the relevant issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an interest determination date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an interest determination date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following interest reset date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that interest determination date by the relevant issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) will be a one-time process and will apply to each following interest reset date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to the debt securities.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an interest determination date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to the definition of “CMS” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date will be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the relevant issuer or its designee as of the interest determination date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the interest determination date, that interest determination date):

33 

(a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable index maturity; and

(b) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the relevant issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable index maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the relevant issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “interest period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the relevant issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the relevant issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the relevant issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the relevant issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the relevant issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “CMS Rate Debt Securities,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the debt securities, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the debt securities or any other party.

In no event shall the trustee, unit agent or warrant agent be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

SOFR Debt Securities

The provisions set forth below shall apply to floating rate debt securities linked to SOFR (in this section, “floating rate debt securities”) and, during the floating rate period, fixed/floating rate debt securities linked to SOFR (in this section, “fixed/floating rate debt securities”). These provisions are in addition to, and should be read together with, the provisions set forth under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities” above, except to the extent set forth herein and except to the extent the context otherwise requires. All terms used in this section and not expressly defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Formula for Interest Rates. Notwithstanding the terms set forth in the third sentence under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities—Formula for Interest Rates,” the following provisions apply to floating rate debt securities and, during the floating rate period, fixed/floating rate debt securities, in each case instead of the provisions of such sentence. The “spread” is the number of basis points (one one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified in the applicable prospectus supplement to be added to the accrued interest compounding factor for an interest payment period.

The amount of interest accrued and payable on the debt securities for each interest payment period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities multiplied by the product of:

34 

(a)       the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the spread for the relevant interest payment period,

- multiplied by -

(b)       the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such interest payment period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any interest payment period be less than zero percent.

How Floating Interest Rates Are Reset. The terms set forth under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities—How Floating Interest Rates Are Reset” shall not apply to the debt securities.

How Interest is Calculated. Notwithstanding the terms set forth under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities—How Interest Is Calculated,” the following provisions apply to floating rate debt securities and, during the floating rate period, fixed/floating rate debt securities, in each case instead of the provisions of such subsection. On each interest payment date, accrued interest will be paid for the most recently completed interest payment period. Interest on the debt securities will accrue from and including the most recent interest payment period end-date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or (i) in the case of floating rate debt securities, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the original issue date and (ii) in the case of fixed/floating rate debt securities, in the case of the first interest payment period during the floating rate period, from and including the date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Interest will accrue to but excluding the next interest payment period end-date.

The calculation agent will notify the paying agent of each determination of the interest rate applicable to the debt securities promptly after the determination is made.

With respect to any interest payment period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

“d₀”, for any interest payment period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant interest payment period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant interest payment period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant interest payment period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant interest payment period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant interest payment period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

35 

Alternative Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default. In case an event of default with respect to each principal amount of the debt securities shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for the debt securities (the “stated principal amount”) upon any acceleration of the debt securities shall be determined by the calculation agent, after consultation with the relevant issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the stated principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the maturity date, final interest payment period end-date (if applicable) and final interest payment date.

If a Payment Date is Not a Business Day. The terms set forth under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities—If a Payment Date Is Not a Business Day” shall not apply to the debt securities.

Determination of SOFR

The debt securities will bear interest at the interest rate specified in such debt security and the applicable prospectus supplement. With respect to floating rate debt securities and, during the floating rate period, fixed/floating rate debt securities, that interest rate will be based on SOFR with the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

“SOFR” means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the relevant issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate debt securities at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the relevant issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the relevant issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

36 

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the relevant issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the relevant issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate debt securities at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “interest payment period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the relevant issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the relevant issuer or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the relevant issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the relevant issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

37 

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

A “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

“ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

“New York Federal Reserve” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

“New York Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the New York Federal Reserve, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the relevant issuer or its designee pursuant to this section “Determination of SOFR,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the relevant issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the debt securities, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the debt securities or any other party.

In no event shall the trustee, unit agent or warrant agent be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Benchmark Transition Event has occurred.

SONIA Debt Securities

The provisions set forth below shall apply to floating rate debt securities linked to SONIA (in this section, “floating rate debt securities”) and, during the floating rate period, fixed/floating rate debt securities linked to SONIA (in this section, “fixed/floating rate debt securities”). These provisions are in addition to, and should be read together with, the provisions set forth under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities” above, except to the extent set forth herein and except to the extent the context otherwise requires. All terms used in this section and not expressly defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Formula for Interest Rates. Notwithstanding the terms set forth in the third sentence under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities—Formula for Interest Rates,” the following provisions apply to floating rate debt securities and, during the floating rate period, fixed/floating rate debt securities, in each case instead of the provisions of such sentence. The “spread” is the number of basis points (one one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified in the applicable prospectus supplement to be added to the accrued interest compounding factor for an interest payment period.

The amount of interest accrued and payable on the debt securities for each interest payment period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities multiplied by the product of:

(a)    the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the spread for the relevant interest payment period,

- multiplied by -

(b)    the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such interest payment period by 365.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any interest payment period be less than zero percent.

How Floating Interest Rates Are Reset. The terms set forth under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities—How Floating Interest Rates Are Reset” shall not apply to the debt securities.

How Interest is Calculated. Notwithstanding the terms set forth under “—Floating Rate Debt Securities—How Interest Is Calculated,” the following provisions apply to floating rate debt securities and, during the floating rate period, fixed/floating rate debt securities, in each case instead of the provisions of such subsection. On each interest payment date, accrued interest will be paid for the most recently completed interest payment period. Interest on the debt securities will accrue from and including the most recent interest payment period end-date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or (i) in the case of floating rate debt securities, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the original issue date and (ii) in the case of fixed/floating rate debt securities, in the case of the first interest payment period during the floating rate period, from and including the date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Interest will accrue to but excluding the next interest payment period end-date.

The calculation agent will notify the paying agent of each determination of the interest rate applicable to the debt securities promptly after the determination is made.

With respect to any interest payment period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula:

39 

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period.

“d₀”, for any Observation Period, is the number of London Banking Days in the relevant Observation Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant London Banking Day in chronological order from, and including, the first London Banking Day in the relevant Observation Period.

“n_i” for any London Banking Day “i” in the relevant Observation Period, is the number of calendar days from, and including, such day “i” up to, but excluding, the following London Banking Day (“i+1”).

“Observation Period” means, in respect of each interest payment period, the period from, and including, the date falling a number of London Banking Days equal to the Observation Shift Days preceding the first day of such interest payment period to, but excluding, the date falling a number of London Banking Days equal to the Observation Shift Days preceding the interest payment period end-date for such interest payment period.

“Observation Shift Days” means 5 London Banking Days.

“SONIA_i”, for any London Banking Day “i” in the relevant Observation Period, is equal to SONIA in respect of that day “i”.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any London Banking Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding London Banking Day.

All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on the debt securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%, and all Pounds Sterling amounts used in or resulting from these calculations on the debt securities will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places, with .005 rounded up to .01.

Alternative Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default. In case an event of default with respect to each principal amount of the debt securities shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for the debt securities (the “stated principal amount”) upon any acceleration of the debt securities shall be determined by the calculation agent, after consultation with the relevant issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the stated principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the maturity date, final interest payment period end-date (if applicable) and final interest payment date.

Determination of SONIA

The debt securities will bear interest at the interest rate specified in such debt security and the applicable prospectus supplement. With respect to floating rate debt securities and, during the floating rate period, fixed/floating rate debt securities, that interest rate will be based on SONIA with the index maturity specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

“SONIA,” in respect of any London Banking Day, is a reference rate equal to the daily Sterling Overnight Index Average rate for such London Banking Day as provided by the administrator of SONIA to authorized distributors and as then published on the Relevant Screen Page or, if the Relevant Screen Page is unavailable, as otherwise published by such authorized distributors, in each case on the London Banking Day immediately following such London Banking Day.

If SONIA in respect of any London Banking Day (the “Relevant London Banking Day”) is not published on the Relevant Screen Page or by an authorized distributor, and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of SONIA, by either (A) the immediately following London Banking Day (or any amended publication day for SONIA as

specified by the administrator of SONIA in the SONIA benchmark methodology) or (B) such other date and time on which SONIA for the Relevant London Banking Day is required for the purpose of any determination pursuant to the terms of the debt securities and, in either case, none of the events triggering the fallbacks specified below have occurred, SONIA for the Relevant London Banking Day shall be deemed to be the rate equal to SONIA for the most recent London Banking Day in respect of which SONIA was so published or provided.

“Relevant Screen Page” means Bloomberg page SONIO/N Index or such other page, section or other part as may replace it as may be nominated by the person providing or sponsoring the information appearing there for the purpose of displaying rates or prices comparable to SONIA.

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, the relevant issuer or its designee will use, as a substitute for SONIA and for each future interest determination date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the United Kingdom that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the relevant issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread, as well as the applicable business day convention, interest determination dates and related provisions and definitions of the debt securities, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the debt securities.

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the relevant issuer or its designee pursuant to this section “Determination of SONIA,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the relevant issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the debt securities, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the debt securities or any other party.

Redemption and Repurchase of Debt Securities

Optional Redemption by the Relevant Issuer. If applicable, the prospectus supplement will indicate the terms of the relevant issuer’s option to redeem the debt securities.

Notice of Redemption. The relevant issuer will mail a notice of redemption to each holder or, in the case of global debt securities, to the Depositary (in accordance with its procedures), as holder of the global debt securities, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 5 days and not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, or within the redemption notice period designated in the applicable prospectus supplement, to the address of each holder as that address appears upon the books maintained by the paying agent. The debt securities, except for amortizing debt securities, will not be subject to any sinking fund.

Optional Make-whole Redemption of Debt Securities. If specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the relevant issuer may redeem any such debt securities in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option, at a make-whole redemption price equal to the greater of:

· 100% of the principal amount of the debt securities to be redeemed, and

· the sum of (a) the present value of the payment of principal on the debt securities to be redeemed, for the principal amount of the debt securities to be redeemed, and (b) the present values of the scheduled payments of interest on the debt securities to be redeemed, for the principal amount to be redeemed, that would have been payable from the date of redemption to the date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate,

41 

plus a spread as indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, as calculated by the premium calculation agent (as defined below);

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

“treasury rate” means, with respect to any redemption date:

· the average of the yields displayed for each day in the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication that is published daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the comparable treasury issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the comparable treasury issue will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or

· if such release (or any successor release) is not published at the time of any determination or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, calculated using a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such redemption date.

The treasury rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date.

The relevant issuer will mail a notice of redemption to the Depositary, as holder of the debt securities designated for redemption by first-class mail at least 5 and not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption in such notice, or within such other notice period as may be indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless the relevant issuer defaults on payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the debt securities or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. If less than the full principal amount of the debt securities of a particular series are to be redeemed, the trustee will select, not more than 30 days (or such other indicated period) prior to the redemption date, the portions thereof for redemption by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided, that if debt securities of such series are represented by one or more global securities, beneficial interests in such debt securities will be selected for redemption by the applicable depositary in accordance with its standard procedures therefor.

“premium calculation agent” means Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or if that firm is unwilling or unable to select the comparable treasury issue, an investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the relevant issuer.

“comparable treasury issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the premium calculation agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the debt securities if such debt securities matured on the date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement (“remaining term”) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term.

“comparable treasury price” means, with respect to a redemption date (1) the average of five reference treasury dealer quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest reference treasury dealer quotations, or (2) if the premium calculation agent obtains fewer than five such reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“reference treasury dealer” means (1) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and its successors, provided, however, that if the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”) the relevant issuer will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer and (2) any other primary treasury dealers selected by the premium calculation agent after consultation with the relevant issuer.

“reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the premium calculation agent, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable

42 

treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the premium calculation agent at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

Because Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is an affiliate of each issuer and the guarantor, the economic interests of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC may be adverse to your interests as an owner of the debt securities subject to the relevant issuer’s redemption, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that it must make as premium calculation agent in the event the relevant issuer redeems such debt securities before their maturity. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as premium calculation agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.

The relevant issuer will notify the relevant trustee of the redemption price promptly after the calculation thereof and such trustee will have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price.

Repayment at Option of Holder. If applicable, the prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities will indicate that the holder has the option to have the relevant issuer repay the debt security on a date or dates specified prior to its maturity date. The repayment price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debt security, together with accrued interest to the date of repayment. For debt securities issued with original issue discount, the prospectus supplement will specify the amount payable upon repayment.

For the relevant issuer to repay a debt security, the paying agent must receive at least 15 days but not more than 30 days prior to the repayment date:

· the debt security with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the debt security duly completed; or

· a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of the debt security, the principal amount of the debt security, the principal amount of the debt security to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of the debt security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised and a guarantee that the debt security to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the debt security, will be received by the paying agent not later than the fifth business day after the date of that telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter. However, the telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter will only be effective if that debt security and form duly completed are received by the paying agent by the fifth business day after the date of that telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter.

Exercise of the repayment option by the holder of a debt security will be irrevocable. The holder may exercise the repayment option for less than the entire principal amount of the debt security but, in that event, the principal amount of the debt security remaining outstanding after repayment must be an authorized denomination.

Special Requirements for Optional Repayment of Global Debt Securities. If a debt security is represented by a registered global debt security, the Depositary or the Depositary’s nominee will be the holder of the debt security and therefore will be the only entity that can exercise a right to repayment. In order to ensure that the Depositary’s nominee will timely exercise a right to repayment of a particular debt security, the beneficial owner of the debt security must instruct the broker or other direct or indirect participant through which it holds an interest in the debt security to notify the Depositary of its desire to exercise a right to repayment. Different firms have different cut-off times for accepting instructions from their customers and, accordingly, each beneficial owner should consult the broker or other direct or indirect participant through which it holds an interest in a debt security in order to ascertain the cut-off time by which an instruction must be given in order for timely notice to be delivered to the Depositary.

Open Market Purchases by the Relevant Issuer. The relevant issuer or its affiliates may purchase debt securities at any price in the open market or otherwise. Debt securities so purchased by such issuer may, at its discretion, be held or resold or surrendered to the relevant trustee for cancellation.

43 

Morgan Stanley Guarantee of Debt Securities Issued by MSFL

The payments due, including any property deliverable under any debt securities issued by MSFL, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. If, for any reason, MSFL does not make any required payment in respect of any debt security issued by it when due, Morgan Stanley will cause the payment to be made at the same address at which MSFL is obligated to make such payment. MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of the securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. See “Summary—Structural Subordination; Morgan Stanley’s Access to Assets Held by Subsidiaries May Be Restricted,” “—Status of the MSFL Securities; Relationship with Morgan Stanley Securities” and “Risk Factors—As a Finance Subsidiary, MSFL Has No Independent Operations and Will Have No Independent Assets.” Morgan Stanley’s guarantees of the payments due on debt securities issued by MSFL will be unsecured senior obligations of Morgan Stanley. In addition, if MSFL were to merge with and into Morgan Stanley pursuant to the terms of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, the guarantee will terminate.

Indentures

Debt securities that will be issued by Morgan Stanley as senior debt will be issued under a Senior Indenture dated as of November 1, 2004 between Morgan Stanley and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as trustee. That indenture, as it has been and may be supplemented from time to time, is called the Senior Debt Indenture. Debt securities that will be issued by MSFL as senior debt will be issued under a Senior Indenture dated as of February 16, 2016 among MSFL, Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as trustee. That indenture, as it has been and may be supplemented from time to time, is called the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture.

Debt securities that will be issued by Morgan Stanley as subordinated debt will be issued under a Subordinated Indenture dated as of October 1, 2004 between Morgan Stanley and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as trustee. That indenture, as it may be supplemented from time to time, is called the Subordinated Debt Indenture. The Bank of New York Mellon, The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), are referred to individually as a “trustee” and collectively as the “trustees.”

Subordination Provisions

Holders of subordinated debt securities issued by Morgan Stanley should recognize that contractual provisions in the Subordinated Debt Indenture may prohibit it from making payments on these securities. Subordinated debt securities are subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner stated in the Subordinated Debt Indenture, to all of Morgan Stanley’s senior indebtedness. The Subordinated Debt Indenture defines senior indebtedness as (i) obligations of, or guaranteed or assumed by, Morgan Stanley for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any of that indebtedness or of those obligations and (ii) if provided in the supplemental indenture under which a series of debt securities is issued or in the form of debt security for such series, any additional obligations that Morgan Stanley determines to include within the definition of senior indebtedness in order to assure that the debt securities of such series will be accorded the regulatory capital recognition desired by Morgan Stanley in accordance with Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other rule or regulation governing the definition of capital that is applicable to Morgan Stanley or its affiliates. Nonrecourse obligations, the subordinated debt securities and any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to senior indebtedness are not senior indebtedness as defined under the Subordinated Debt Indenture. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 1.01).

The Subordinated Debt Indenture provides that, unless all principal of and any premium or interest on the senior indebtedness has been paid in full, or provision has been made to make these payments in full, no payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, any subordinated debt securities may be made in the event:

44 

· of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings involving Morgan Stanley or a substantial part of its property;

· that (a) a default has occurred in the payment of principal, any premium, interest or other monetary amounts due and payable on any senior indebtedness or (b) there has occurred any other event of default concerning senior indebtedness that permits the holder or holders of the senior indebtedness to accelerate the maturity of the senior indebtedness, with notice or passage of time, or both, and that event of default has continued beyond the applicable grace period, if any, and that default or event of default has not been cured or waived or has not ceased to exist; or

· that the principal of and accrued interest on any subordinated debt securities have been declared due and payable upon an event of default as defined under the Subordinated Debt Indenture and that declaration has not been rescinded and annulled as provided under the Subordinated Debt Indenture. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 13.01).

Covenants Restricting Pledges, Mergers and Other Significant Corporate Actions

Negative Pledge of Morgan Stanley. Because Morgan Stanley is a holding company, its assets consist primarily of the securities of its subsidiaries. The negative pledge provisions of the Senior Debt Indenture and the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture limit Morgan Stanley’s ability to pledge some of these securities. Each such senior indenture provides that Morgan Stanley will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money that is secured by a pledge, lien or other encumbrance except for liens specifically permitted by such senior indenture on:

· the voting securities of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC or any subsidiary succeeding to any substantial part of the business now conducted by any of those corporations, which are referred to collectively as the “principal subsidiaries,” or

· the voting securities of a subsidiary that owns, directly or indirectly, the voting securities of any of the principal subsidiaries, other than directors’ qualifying shares,

without making effective provisions so that the debt securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture or the guarantee issued under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, as applicable, will be secured equally and ratably with indebtedness so secured.

For these purposes, “subsidiary” means any corporation, partnership or other entity of which at the time of determination Morgan Stanley owns or controls directly or indirectly more than 50% of the shares of the voting stock or equivalent interest, and “voting securities” means stock of any class or classes having general voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect a majority of the board of directors, managers or trustees of the relevant subsidiary, other than stock that carries only the conditional right to vote upon the happening of an event, whether or not that event has happened. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 3.06 and MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, Section 13.10).

The Subordinated Debt Indenture does not include negative pledge provisions.

Merger or Consolidation of Morgan Stanley as Issuer Under the Senior Debt Indenture and the Subordinated Debt Indenture. Each of the Senior Debt Indenture and the Subordinated Debt Indenture provides that Morgan Stanley will not merge or consolidate with any other person, unless:

· Morgan Stanley will be the continuing corporation; or

· the successor corporation:

o will be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

45 

o will expressly assume all of Morgan Stanley’s obligations under the indenture and the debt securities issued under the indenture; and

· immediately after the merger or consolidation, Morgan Stanley or that successor corporation, as the case may be, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the indenture applicable to it. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 9.01 and Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 9.01).

Sale, Lease or Conveyance by Morgan Stanley as Issuer Under the Senior Debt Indenture and the Subordinated Debt Indenture. The Senior Debt Indenture provides that Morgan Stanley will not sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other person (other than the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of Morgan Stanley’s assets to one or more of Morgan Stanley’s subsidiaries, as defined above), unless:

· the person that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Morgan Stanley:

o will be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of Morgan Stanley’s obligations under the indenture and the debt securities issued under the indenture; and

· immediately after the sale, lease or conveyance, that acquiring person will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the indenture applicable to it. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 9.01).

For the avoidance of doubt, the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of Morgan Stanley’s assets to one or more of Morgan Stanley’s subsidiaries is not subject to any restrictions under the Senior Debt Indenture.

The Subordinated Debt Indenture provides that Morgan Stanley will not sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other person, unless:

· the person that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Morgan Stanley:

o will be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of Morgan Stanley’s obligations under the indenture and the debt securities issued under the indenture; and

· immediately after the sale, lease or conveyance, that acquiring person will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the indenture applicable to it. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 9.01 and Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 9.01).

Merger or Consolidation of MSFL, as Issuer, or Morgan Stanley, as Guarantor, Under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture. The MSFL Senior Debt Indenture provides that neither MSFL, as issuer, nor Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, will merge or consolidate with any other person, unless:

· MSFL or Morgan Stanley, as applicable, will be the continuing person; or

· the successor person by merger or consolidation to MSFL or Morgan Stanley, as applicable:

o will be a person organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of MSFL’s or Morgan Stanley’s obligations, as applicable, under the indenture and the debt securities or the guarantees, as applicable, issued under the indenture; and

46 

· immediately after the merger or consolidation, MSFL, Morgan Stanley or that successor person, as the case may be, in its capacity as issuer or guarantor, as applicable, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the indenture applicable to it. (MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, Sections 9.01 and 13.11).

For the avoidance of doubt, the successor person referred to in this section may be Morgan Stanley or any subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

Sale, Lease or Conveyance by MSFL, as Issuer, or Morgan Stanley, as Guarantor, Under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture. The MSFL Senior Debt Indenture provides that neither MSFL, as issuer, nor Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, will sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other person (other than the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of Morgan Stanley’s assets to one or more of Morgan Stanley’s subsidiaries), unless:

· the person that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of MSFL or of Morgan Stanley, as applicable:

o will be a person organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of MSFL’s or Morgan Stanley’s obligations, as applicable, under the indenture and the debt securities or the guarantees, as applicable, issued under the indenture; and

· immediately after the sale, lease or conveyance, that acquiring person, in its capacity as issuer or guarantor, as applicable, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the indenture applicable to it. (MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, Sections 9.01 and 13.11).

For the avoidance of doubt, the acquiring person referred to in this section may be Morgan Stanley or any subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

For the avoidance of doubt, the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of MSFL’s or Morgan Stanley’s assets to one or more of Morgan Stanley’s subsidiaries is not subject to any restrictions under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture.

Absence of Protections against All Potential Actions of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantor. There are no covenants or other provisions in the indentures that would afford holders of debt securities additional protection in the event of a recapitalization transaction, a change of control of the relevant issuer or the guarantor, is applicable, or a highly leveraged transaction. The merger covenants described above would only apply if the recapitalization transaction, change of control or highly leveraged transaction were structured to include a merger or consolidation of the relevant issuer or the guarantor, as applicable, or a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the relevant issuer or the guarantor, as applicable. However, the relevant issuer may provide specific protections, such as a put right or increased interest, for particular debt securities, which such issuer would describe in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Events of Default

Events of Default of Morgan Stanley as Issuer Under the Senior Debt Indenture. The Senior Debt Indenture provides holders of debt securities with remedies if Morgan Stanley fails to perform specific obligations or if it becomes bankrupt. Holders should review these provisions and understand which actions of Morgan Stanley trigger an event of default and which actions do not. The Senior Debt Indenture permits the issuance of debt securities in one or more series, and, in many cases, whether an event of default has occurred is determined on a series by series basis.

An event of default is defined under the Senior Debt Indenture, with respect to any series of debt securities issued under that indenture, as being:

· default for 30 days in payment of any principal of the debt securities of that series, either at maturity or upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise;

47 

· default for 30 days in payment of any interest on any debt securities of that series;

· events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Morgan Stanley; or

· any other event of default provided in the supplemental indenture under which that series of debt securities is issued. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.01).

The debt securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture will not have the benefit of any cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions with other indebtedness of Morgan Stanley.

In the case of a default in payment of any principal or any interest with respect to the debt securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture, there will only be an event of default, and therefore a right of acceleration, if such default continues for a period of 30 days.

Events of Default of MSFL as Issuer Under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture. The MSFL Senior Debt Indenture provides holders of debt securities with remedies if MSFL, as issuer, fails to perform specific obligations or if MSFL becomes bankrupt. Holders should review these provisions and understand which actions of MSFL trigger an event of default and which actions do not. The MSFL Senior Debt Indenture permits the issuance of debt securities in one or more series, and, in many cases, whether an event of default has occurred is determined on a series by series basis.

An event of default is defined under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, with respect to any series of debt securities issued by MSFL under that indenture, as being:

· default for 30 days in payment of any principal of the debt securities of that series, either at maturity or upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise;

· default for 30 days in payment of any interest on any debt securities of that series;

· events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of MSFL; or

· any other event of default provided in the supplemental indenture under which that series of debt securities is issued. (MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.01).

The debt securities issued under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture will not have the benefit of any cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions with other indebtedness of MSFL or Morgan Stanley.

In the case of a default in payment of any principal or any interest with respect to the debt securities issued under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, there will only be an event of default, and therefore a right of acceleration, if such default continues for a period of 30 days. In addition, under the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, a covenant default by Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, or an event of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, does not constitute an event of default.

Events of Default of Morgan Stanley as Issuer Under the Subordinated Debt Indenture. The Subordinated Debt Indenture provides holders of debt securities with remedies if Morgan Stanley fails to perform specific obligations or if it becomes bankrupt. Holders should review these provisions and understand which actions of Morgan Stanley trigger an event of default and which actions do not. The Subordinated Debt Indenture permits the issuance of debt securities in one or more series, and, in many cases, whether an event of default has occurred is determined on a series by series basis.

An event of default is defined under the Subordinated Debt Indenture, with respect to any series of debt securities issued under that indenture, as being:

· events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; or

· any other event of default provided in the supplemental indenture under which that series of debt securities is issued. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 5.01).

48 

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities issued under the Subordinated Debt Indenture will not have the benefit of any cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions with other indebtedness of Morgan Stanley.

Acceleration of Debt Securities upon an Event of Default. The Senior Debt Indenture and the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture each provide that:

· if an event of default due to the default in payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under that indenture occurs and is continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the relevant issuer and to the trustee, if given by security holders, may declare the principal of all debt securities of all affected series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately; and

· if an event of default due to specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the relevant issuer occurs and is continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under that indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the relevant issuer and to the trustee, if given by security holders, may declare the principal of all those debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.01 and MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.01).

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, debt securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture and the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture will have the benefit of these acceleration provisions.

There will be no event of default, and therefore no right of acceleration, in the case of a default in the performance of any covenant or obligation with respect to the debt securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture or the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture (in each case, other than a covenant or warranty which is specifically dealt with above). If any such default occurs and is continuing, the trustee may pursue legal action to enforce the performance of any provision in the indenture to protect the rights of the trustee and the holders of the debt securities issued under such indenture. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.04 and MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.04).

The Subordinated Debt Indenture provides that:

· if an event of default applicable to the debt securities of that series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under that indenture occurs and is continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to Morgan Stanley and to the trustee, if given by security holders, may declare the principal of all debt securities of all affected series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately; and

· if an event of default due to specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Morgan Stanley, occurs and is continuing, or if an event of default applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under that indenture is provided in the supplemental indenture under which such series of debt securities is issued or in the form of debt securities for such series and such event of default has occurred and is continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under that indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to Morgan Stanley and to the trustee, if given by security holders, may declare the principal of all those debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 5.01).

Annulment of Acceleration and Waiver of Defaults. The Senior Debt Indenture and the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture each provide that:

In some circumstances, if any and all events of default under that indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of the securities that has become due as a result of an acceleration, have been cured, waived or otherwise

49 

remedied, then the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of outstanding debt securities affected, voting as one class, may waive past defaults and rescind and annul past declarations of acceleration of the debt securities. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.01 and MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.01).

Prior to the acceleration of any debt securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of outstanding debt securities with respect to which an event of default or a covenant breach has occurred and is continuing, voting as one class, may waive any past default or event of default or any past covenant breach, other than a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default has been cured and an amount sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision in that indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.10 and MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.10).

The Subordinated Debt Indenture provides that:

In some circumstances, if any and all defaults (as defined below) under the indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of the securities that has become due as a result of an acceleration, have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied, then the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of outstanding debt securities affected, voting as one class, may waive past defaults and rescind and annul past declarations of acceleration of the debt securities. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 5.01).

Prior to the acceleration of any debt securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of outstanding debt securities with respect to which a default has occurred and is continuing, voting as one class, may waive any past default, other than a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default has been cured and an amount sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision in the indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 5.10).

Defaults. In the case of the Subordinated Debt Indenture, a default is defined, with respect to any series of debt securities issued under that indenture, as being:

· default in payment of any principal of the debt securities of that series, either at maturity or upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise;

· default for 30 days in payment of any interest on any debt securities of that series;

· default for 60 days after written notice in the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement in the debt securities of that series or the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty with respect to the debt securities of that series the breach or nonperformance of which is otherwise included in the definition of “event of default” or “default”);

· an event of default with respect to such series of debt securities; or

· any other default provided in the supplemental indenture under which that series of debt securities is issued. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 5.06).

There will be no event of default, and therefore no right of acceleration, in the case of a default in the performance of any covenant or obligation with respect to the debt securities issued under the Subordinated Debt Indenture, including a default in the payment of principal or interest. If a default in the payment of principal of, or any interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Debt Indenture occurs and is continuing and Morgan Stanley fails to pay the full amount then due and payable with respect to all debt securities of the affected series immediately upon the demand of the trustee, the trustee is entitled to institute an action or proceeding to collect the amount due and unpaid. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 5.02). If any default occurs and is continuing, the trustee may pursue legal action to enforce the performance of any provision in the indenture to protect the rights of the trustee and the holders of the debt securities issued under the Subordinated Debt Indenture. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 5.04).

50 

Indemnification of Trustee for Actions Taken on Your Behalf. Each indenture contains a provision entitling the trustee, subject to the duty of the trustee during a default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified by the holders of debt securities issued under that indenture before proceeding to exercise any trust or power at the request of holders. (Indentures, Section 6.02). Subject to these provisions and some other limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. (Indentures, Section 5.09).

Limitation on Actions by You as an Individual Holder. Each indenture provides that no individual holder of debt securities may institute any action against the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, under that indenture, except actions for payment of overdue principal and interest, unless the following actions have occurred:

· the holder must have previously given written notice to the trustee of the continuing default;

· the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, treated as one class, must have (1) requested the trustee to institute that action and (2) offered the trustee reasonable indemnity;

· the trustee must have failed to institute that action within 60 days after receipt of the request referred to above; and

· the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, must not have given directions to the trustee inconsistent with those of the holders referred to above. (Indentures, Sections 5.06 and 5.09).

Annual Certification. Each indenture contains a covenant that the relevant issuer will file annually with the trustee a certificate of no default or a certificate specifying any default that exists. (Indentures, Section 3.05).

Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, has the ability to eliminate most or all of the obligations of the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, on any series of debt securities prior to maturity if the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, complies with the following provisions. (Indentures, Section 10.01).

Discharge of Indenture. If at any time the relevant issuer has:

· paid or caused to be paid the principal of and interest on all of the outstanding debt securities in accordance with their terms (or, in the case of debt securities issued by MSFL, the guarantor has done the same);

· delivered to the applicable trustee for cancellation all of the outstanding debt securities; or

· irrevocably deposited with the applicable trustee cash or, in the case of a series of debt securities payable only in U.S. dollars, U.S. government obligations in trust for the benefit of the holders of any series of debt securities issued under that indenture that have either become due and payable, or are by their terms due and payable within one year or are scheduled for redemption within one year, in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay on each date that they become due and payable, the principal of and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments for, those debt securities (or, in the case of debt securities issued by MSFL, the guarantor has done the same);

and if, in any such case, the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, also pays or causes to be paid all other sums payable by the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, under the indenture with respect to the securities of such series, then that indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the securities of such series, except as to certain rights and with respect to the transfer and exchange of securities, rights of the holders to receive payment and certain other rights and except that the deposit of cash or U.S. government obligations for the benefit of holders of a series of debt securities that are due and payable or are due and payable within one year or are scheduled for redemption within one year will discharge obligations under the relevant indenture relating only to that series of debt securities.

51 

Defeasance of a Series of Securities at Any Time. The relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, may also discharge all obligations of the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, other than as to transfers and exchanges, under any series of debt securities at any time, which is referred to as “defeasance.”

The relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, may be released with respect to any outstanding series of debt securities from the obligations imposed by Section 3.06 (in the case of the Morgan Stanley Senior Debt Indenture), Section 13.10 and Section 13.11 (in the case of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture) and Section 9.01 (in the case of the Indentures), which sections contain the covenants described above limiting liens and consolidations, mergers, asset sales and leases, and elect not to comply with those sections without creating an event of default, covenant breach or a default. Discharge under those procedures is called “covenant defeasance.”

Defeasance or covenant defeasance may be effected only if, among other things:

· The relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, irrevocably deposits with the relevant trustee cash or, in the case of debt securities payable only in U.S. dollars, U.S. government obligations, as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay on each date that they become due and payable or a combination of the above sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments for, all outstanding debt securities of the series being defeased.

· The relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, delivers to the relevant trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that:

o the beneficial owners of the series of debt securities being defeased will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or covenant defeasance; and

o the defeasance or covenant defeasance will not otherwise alter those beneficial owners’ U.S. federal income tax treatment of principal and interest payments on the series of debt securities being defeased.

In the case of a defeasance, but not in the case of covenant defeasance, this opinion must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in U.S. federal income tax law occurring after the date of this prospectus, since that result would not occur under current tax law.

· In the case of the Subordinated Debt Indenture:

o no event or condition will exist that, under the provisions described under “—Subordination Provisions” above, would prevent Morgan Stanley from making payments of principal or interest on the subordinated debt securities at the date of the irrevocable deposit referred to above or at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after that deposit date; and

o Morgan Stanley delivers to the trustee for the Subordinated Debt Indenture an opinion of counsel to the effect that (i) the trust funds will not be subject to any rights of holders of senior indebtedness and (ii) after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, except that if a court were to rule under any of those laws in any case or proceeding that the trust funds remained Morgan Stanley’s property, then the relevant trustee and the holders of the subordinated debt securities would be entitled to some enumerated rights as secured creditors in the trust funds. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 10.01).

Modification of the Indentures

Modifications Without Consent of Holders. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the relevant trustee may enter into supplemental indentures without the consent of the holders of debt securities issued under a particular indenture to:

· secure any debt securities (and, in the case of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, to secure the guarantee of any debt securities securities);

52 

· evidence the assumption by a successor of the obligations of the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable (including, in the case of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, to evidence the merger of MSFL with and into Morgan Stanley and, in such case, to evidence the elimination of the guarantee);

· add covenants for the protection of the holders of debt securities;

· cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency;

· in the case of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture in respect of all or any securities of any series; provided that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (a) apply to any security issued prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (b) modify the rights of any holder of such security with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such security outstanding;

· establish the forms or terms of debt securities of any series; or

· evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee. (Indentures, Section 8.01).

Modifications with Consent of Holders. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the applicable trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of each affected series of outstanding debt securities, voting as one class, may add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, the applicable indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of those debt securities. However, the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the trustee may not make any of the following changes to any outstanding debt security without the consent of each holder that would be affected by such change:

· extend the final maturity of the principal;

· reduce the principal amount;

· reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest;

· reduce any amount payable on redemption;

· change the currency in which the principal and any amount of original issue discount, premium, or interest thereon is payable;

· modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into another currency;

· reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy;

· alter the terms on which holders of the debt securities may convert or exchange debt securities for stock or other securities of the relevant issuer or of other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property, other than in accordance with the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions included in the terms of the debt securities;

· alter certain provisions of the relevant indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars;

· impair the right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any debt security when due;

· in the case of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture, remove the guarantee (except upon the merger of MSFL with and into Morgan Stanley); or

· reduce the percentage of debt securities the consent of whose holders is required for modification of the relevant indenture (Indentures, Section 8.02).

53 

Modification of Subordination Provisions. Morgan Stanley may not amend the Subordinated Debt Indenture to alter the subordination of any outstanding subordinated debt securities without the written consent of each potentially adversely affected holder of senior indebtedness then outstanding. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 8.06).

Replacement of Debt Securities

At the expense of the holder, the relevant issuer may, in its discretion, replace any debt securities that become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen or are apparently destroyed, lost or stolen. The mutilated debt securities must be delivered to the applicable trustee, the paying agent and the registrar, in the case of registered debt securities, or satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of the debt securities must be delivered to the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, the paying agent, the registrar, in the case of registered debt securities, and the applicable trustee. At the expense of the holder, an indemnity that is satisfactory to the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, the principal paying agent, the registrar, in the case of registered debt securities, and the applicable trustee may be required before a replacement debt security will be issued.

Concerning the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s Relationship with the Trustees

Morgan Stanley, MSFL and other subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley and affiliates of MSFL maintain ordinary banking relationships and credit facilities with The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (including as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association).

Governing Law

The debt securities, Morgan Stanley’s guarantee of debt securities issued by MSFL and the indentures will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Predecessor Morgan Stanley Indenture

From time to time Morgan Stanley may reopen previous issuances of its senior debt securities issued pursuant to an earlier predecessor indenture. Any such reopening would be issued under an Amended and Restated Senior Indenture dated as of May 1, 1999 between it and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank)), as trustee. This indenture, as it may be supplemented from time to time, is called the “predecessor indenture.”

The predecessor indenture has terms identical to the terms of the Senior Debt Indenture in all material respects; provided that the predecessor indenture also includes the following provisions. The predecessor indenture includes an event of default upon Morgan Stanley’s failure to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, on other indebtedness in an amount in excess of $10,000,000 and continuance of that failure for a period of 30 days after written notice of the failure to Morgan Stanley by the trustee, or to Morgan Stanley and the trustee by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities, treated as one class, issued under the predecessor indenture. The predecessor indenture also includes an event of default upon a default with respect to any other indebtedness, which default results in the acceleration of indebtedness in an amount in excess of $10,000,000 without the indebtedness having been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled for a period of 30 days after written notice of the acceleration to Morgan Stanley by the trustee, or to Morgan Stanley and the trustee by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities, treated as one class, issued under the indenture. Furthermore, the predecessor indenture does not include a grace period for a default on the payment of principal; a Covenant Default constitutes an Event of Default under the predecessor indenture; and the merger covenant in the predecessor indenture applies to transfers to Morgan Stanley’s subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, indebtedness means obligations of, or guaranteed or assumed by, Morgan Stanley, other than the debt securities, for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, but does not include non-recourse obligations. In addition, if a failure, default or acceleration referred to above ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the event of default under the predecessor indenture caused by such default or acceleration will also be considered cured.

54 

Description of Units

Each issuer may issue units. Units will consist of any combination of warrants, purchase contracts, shares of preferred stock and common stock (in the case of units issued by Morgan Stanley) and debt securities issued by the relevant issuer, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with such issuer or other property. The applicable prospectus supplement will also describe:

· the issuer of the units;

· the designation and the terms of the units and of any combination of warrants, purchase contracts, shares of preferred stock and common stock (in the case of units issued by Morgan Stanley) and debt securities issued by the relevant issuer, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with such issuer or other property constituting the units, including whether and under what circumstances the warrants, purchase contracts, shares of preferred stock and common stock (in the case of units issued by Morgan Stanley) and debt securities issued by such issuer, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with it or other securities may be traded separately;

· any additional terms of the governing unit agreement or unit agreement without holders’ obligations;

· any additional provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the warrants, purchase contracts, shares of preferred stock and common stock (in the case of units issued by Morgan Stanley) and debt securities issued by the relevant issuer, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with such issuer or other property constituting the units; and

· any applicable U.S. federal income tax consequences.

The terms and conditions described under “Description of Debt Securities,” “Description of Warrants,” “Description of Purchase Contracts,” “Description of Capital Stock—Offered Preferred Stock” and “Description of Capital Stock—Offered and Existing Common Stock” and those described below under “—Significant Provisions of the Unit Agreements” and “—Significant Provisions of the Unit Agreements Without Holders’ Obligations” will apply, as applicable, to each unit and to any warrants, purchase contracts, shares of preferred stock or common stock (in the case of units issued by Morgan Stanley) or debt securities issued by the relevant issuer, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with such issuer or other property included in each unit, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Morgan Stanley will issue the units under one or more unit agreements (each referred to as a “Unit Agreement”) to be entered into between Morgan Stanley and a bank or trust company, as unit agent. MSFL will issue the units under one or more unit agreements (each referred to as an “MSFL Unit Agreement” and, together with the Unit Agreements, the “unit agreements”) to be entered into among MSFL, as issuer, Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, and a bank or trust company, as unit agent. Each issuer may issue units in one or more series, which will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Generally, units that do not include components requiring performance on the part of the holders of such units will be governed by a unit agreement designed for units where the holders do not have any further obligations under the included warrants, purchase contracts or other components, which are referred to as the “Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations” (for such units issued by Morgan Stanley) and the “MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations” (for such units issued by MSFL) and collectively as the “unit agreements without holders’ obligations.” Each issuer has filed the forms of its respective unit agreement and unit agreement without holders’ obligations as exhibits to the registration statement.

Units issued by MSFL under either the MSFL Unit Agreement or the MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley as guarantor.

The material provisions of the unit agreements, the unit agreements without holders’ obligations and the units are described below. However, these descriptions are not complete, and you should review the detailed provisions of the relevant unit agreement and the relevant unit agreement without holders’ obligations for a full description, including the definition of some of the terms used in this prospectus and for other information regarding the units.

55 

Morgan Stanley Guarantee of Units Issued by MSFL

The payments due and property deliverable under any units issued by MSFL, including payments due and property deliverable under any securities constituting such units, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. If, for any reason, MSFL does not make any required payment or delivery in respect of any unit issued by it when due, Morgan Stanley will cause the payment or delivery to be made at the same address at which MSFL is obligated to make such payment. MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of the securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. See “Summary—Structural Subordination; Morgan Stanley’s Access to Assets Held by Subsidiaries May Be Restricted,” “—Status of the MSFL Securities; Relationship with Morgan Stanley Securities” and “Risk Factors—As a Finance Subsidiary, MSFL Has No Independent Operations and Will Have No Independent Assets.” Morgan Stanley’s guarantees of the payments due on units issued by MSFL will be unsecured senior obligations of Morgan Stanley. In addition, if MSFL were to merge with and into Morgan Stanley pursuant to the terms of the MSFL Unit Agreement, the guarantee will terminate.

Significant Provisions of the Unit Agreements

Obligations of Unit Holder. Under the terms of each unit agreement, each owner of a unit:

· consents to and agrees to be bound by the terms of such unit agreement;

· appoints the unit agent as its authorized agent to execute, deliver and perform any purchase contract included in the unit in which that owner has an interest, except in the case of pre-paid purchase contracts, which require no further performance by the owner; and

· irrevocably agrees to be a party to and be bound by the terms of any purchase contract, other than a pre-paid purchase contract issued pursuant to an indenture, included in the unit in which that owner has an interest.

Assumption of Obligations by Transferee. Upon the registration of transfer of a unit, the transferee will assume the obligations, if any, of the transferor under the unit, under any purchase contract included in the unit and under any other security constituting that unit, and the transferor will be released from those obligations. Under each unit agreement, the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, consents to the transfer of these obligations to the transferee, to the assumption of these obligations by the transferee and to the release of the transferor, if the transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of such unit agreement.

Remedies. Upon the acceleration of the debt securities constituting any units, the relevant issuer’s obligations and those of the owners under any purchase contracts constituting a part of the units may also be accelerated upon the request of the owners of not less than 25% of the affected purchase contracts, on behalf of all the owners.

Limitation on Actions by You as an Individual Holder. No owner of any unit will have any right under the relevant unit agreement to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise regarding the unit agreement, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, unless the owner will have given written notice to the unit agent and the relevant issuer of the occurrence and continuance of a default thereunder and:

· in the case of an event of default under the debt securities or the relevant indenture, unless the procedures, including notice to the relevant issuer and the trustee, described in the indenture have been complied with; and

· in the case of a failure by the relevant issuer to observe or perform any of its obligations under the relevant unit agreement relating to any purchase contracts, other than pre-paid purchase contracts, included in the unit, unless:

56 

o owners of not less than 25% of the affected purchase contracts have (a) requested the unit agent to institute that action or proceeding in its own name as unit agent under the relevant unit agreement and (b) offered the unit agent reasonable indemnity;

o the unit agent has failed to institute that action or proceeding within 60 days of that request by the owners referred to above; and

o the owners of a majority of the outstanding affected units have not given directions to the unit agent inconsistent with those of the owners referred to above.

If these conditions have been satisfied, any owner of an affected unit may then, but only then, institute an action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the above, the owner of any unit or purchase contract will have the unconditional right to purchase or sell, as the case may be, purchase contract property under the purchase contract and to institute suit for the enforcement of that right. Purchase contract property is defined under “Description of Purchase Contracts” below.

Negative Pledge of Morgan Stanley. Because Morgan Stanley is a holding company, its assets consist primarily of the securities of its subsidiaries. The negative pledge provisions of the Unit Agreement and the MSFL Unit Agreement limit Morgan Stanley’s ability to pledge some of these securities. Each such unit agreement provides that Morgan Stanley will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money that is secured by a pledge, lien or other encumbrance except for liens specifically permitted by such unit agreement on:

· the voting securities of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC or any subsidiary succeeding to any substantial part of the business now conducted by any of those corporations, which are referred to collectively as the “principal subsidiaries,” or

· the voting securities of a subsidiary that owns, directly or indirectly, the voting securities of any of the principal subsidiaries, other than directors’ qualifying shares,

without making effective provisions so that the units and the securities constituting the units under the Unit Agreement or the guarantee issued under the MSFL Unit Agreement, as applicable, will be secured equally and ratably with indebtedness so secured.

For these purposes, “subsidiary” means any corporation, partnership or other entity of which at the time of determination Morgan Stanley owns or controls directly or indirectly more than 50% of the shares of the voting stock or equivalent interest, and “voting securities” means stock of any class or classes having general voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect a majority of the board of directors, managers or trustees of the relevant subsidiary, other than stock that carries only the conditional right to vote upon the happening of an event, whether or not that event has happened.

Absence of Protections Against All Potential Actions of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantor. There are no covenants or other provisions in the unit agreements providing for a put right or increased interest or otherwise that would afford holders of units additional protection in the event of a recapitalization transaction, a change of control of the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, or a highly leveraged transaction.

Modifications Without Consent of Holders. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent may amend or supplement the relevant unit agreement and the terms of the purchase contracts and the purchase contract certificates without the consent of the holders:

· to evidence the assumption by a successor of the obligations of the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable (including, in the case of the MSFL Unit Agreement, to evidence the merger of MSFL with and into Morgan Stanley and, in such case, to evidence the elimination of the guarantee);

· to evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor agent or collateral agent;

· to add covenants for the protection of the holders of the units;

57 

· to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Exchange Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

· to cure any ambiguity;

· to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;

· in any other manner which the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, may deem necessary or desirable and which will not adversely affect the interests of the holders in any material respect; or

· in the case of the MSFL Unit Agreement, to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the agreement in respect of all or any units or purchase contracts of any series; provided that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (a) apply to any unit or purchase contract, as applicable, issued prior to the execution of such supplemental agreement and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (b) modify the rights of any holder of such unit or purchase contract, as applicable, with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such unit or purchase contract, as applicable, outstanding.

Modifications with Consent of Holders. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of all series of outstanding units affected may modify the rights of the holders of the units of each series so affected or the terms of any purchase contracts included in any of those series of units and the terms of the relevant unit agreement relating to the purchase contracts of each series so affected. However, the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent may not make the following first three modifications without the consent of the holder of each outstanding purchase contract included in units and may not make the following last three modifications without the consent of the holder of each outstanding unit affected by the modification that:

· impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any purchase contract;

· materially adversely affect the holders’ rights and obligations under any purchase contract;

· reduce the percentage of purchase contracts constituting part of outstanding units the consent of whose owners is required for the modification of the provisions of the relevant unit agreement relating to those purchase contracts or for the waiver of any defaults under the relevant unit agreement relating to those purchase contracts;

· materially adversely affect the holders’ units or the terms of the relevant unit agreement (other than terms related to the first three clauses above);

· reduce the percentage of outstanding units the consent of whose owners is required for the modification of the provisions of the relevant unit agreement (other than terms related to the first three clauses above); or

· in the case of the MSFL Unit Agreement, remove the guarantee (except upon the merger of MSFL with and into Morgan Stanley).

Modifications of any debt securities or pre-paid purchase contracts issued pursuant to an indenture included in units may only be made in accordance with the applicable indenture, as described under “Description of Debt Securities—Modification of the Indentures.” Modifications of any warrants included in units may only be made in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant agreement as described under “Description of Warrants—Significant Provisions of the Warrant Agreements.”

Merger or Consolidation of Morgan Stanley as Issuer Under the Unit Agreement. The Unit Agreement provides that Morgan Stanley will not merge or consolidate with any other person, unless:

· Morgan Stanley will be the continuing corporation; or

· the successor corporation:

58 

o will be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of Morgan Stanley’s obligations under the Unit Agreement and the units issued under the Unit Agreement; and

· immediately after the merger or consolidation, Morgan Stanley or that successor corporation, as the case may be, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the Unit Agreement applicable to it.

Sale, Lease or Conveyance by Morgan Stanley as Issuer Under the Unit Agreement. The Unit Agreement provides that Morgan Stanley will not sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other person, unless:

· the person that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Morgan Stanley:

o will be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of Morgan Stanley’s obligations under the Unit Agreement and the units issued under the Unit Agreement; and

· immediately after the sale, lease or conveyance, that acquiring person will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the Unit Agreement applicable to it.

Merger or Consolidation of MSFL, as Issuer, or Morgan Stanley, as Guarantor, Under the MSFL Unit Agreement. The MSFL Unit Agreement provides that neither MSFL, as issuer, nor Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, will merge or consolidate with any other person, unless:

· MSFL or Morgan Stanley, as applicable, will be the continuing person; or

· the successor person by merger or consolidation to MSFL or Morgan Stanley, as applicable:

o will be a person organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of MSFL’s or Morgan Stanley’s obligations, as applicable, under the MSFL Unit Agreement and the units or the guarantees, as applicable, issued under the MSFL Unit Agreement; and

· immediately after the merger or consolidation, MSFL, Morgan Stanley or that successor person, as the case may be, in its capacity as issuer or guarantor, as applicable, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the MSFL Unit Agreement applicable to it.

For the avoidance of doubt, the successor person referred to in this section may be Morgan Stanley or any subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

Sale, Lease or Conveyance by MSFL, as Issuer, or Morgan Stanley, as Guarantor, Under the MSFL Unit Agreement. The MSFL Unit Agreement provides that neither MSFL, as issuer, nor Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, will sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other person, unless:

· the person that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of MSFL or of Morgan Stanley, as applicable:

o will be a person organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

59 

o will expressly assume all of MSFL’s or Morgan Stanley’s obligations, as applicable, under the MSFL Unit Agreement and the units or the guarantees, as applicable, issued under the MSFL Unit Agreement; and

· immediately after the sale, lease or conveyance, that acquiring person, in its capacity as issuer or guarantor, as applicable, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the MSFL Unit Agreement applicable to it.

For the avoidance of doubt, the acquiring person referred to in this section may be Morgan Stanley or any subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

Replacement of Unit Certificates or Purchase Contract Certificates. The relevant issuer will replace any mutilated certificate evidencing a definitive unit or purchase contract at the expense of the holder upon surrender of that certificate to the unit agent. The relevant issuer will replace certificates that have been destroyed, lost or stolen at the expense of the holder upon delivery to the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent of evidence satisfactory to the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent of the destruction, loss or theft of the certificates. In the case of a destroyed, lost or stolen certificate, an indemnity satisfactory to the unit agent, the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, may be required at the expense of the holder of the units or purchase contracts evidenced by that certificate before a replacement will be issued.

Each unit agreement provides that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no replacement certificate need be delivered:

· during the period beginning 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption or of any other exercise of any right held by the relevant issuer with respect to the unit or any security constituting the unit evidenced by the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen certificate and ending on the day of the giving of that notice;

· if the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen certificate evidences any security selected or called for redemption or other exercise of a right held by the relevant issuer; or

· at any time on or after the date of settlement or redemption for any purchase contract included in the unit, or at any time on or after the last exercise date for any warrant included in the unit, evidenced by the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen certificate, except with respect to any units that remain or will remain outstanding following the date of settlement or redemption or the last exercise date.

Unit Agreements Not Qualified Under Trust Indenture Act. No unit agreement will be qualified as an indenture under, and the unit agents will not be required to qualify as trustees under, the Trust Indenture Act. Accordingly, the holders of units and purchase contracts, other than pre-paid purchase contracts issued pursuant to an indenture, will not have the benefits of the protections of the Trust Indenture Act. However, any debt securities or pre-paid purchase contracts issued under an indenture that are issued as part of a unit will be issued under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and the trustee under that indenture will be qualified as a trustee under the Trust Indenture Act.

Title. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, the unit agent, the trustee, the warrant agent and any of their agents will treat the registered owner of any unit as its owner, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, for all purposes.

New York Law to Govern. The unit agreements, the units, the purchase contracts constituting part of the units and Morgan Stanley’s guarantee of the units and purchase contracts constituting part of the units issued by MSFL will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Significant Provisions of the Unit Agreements Without Holders’ Obligations

Remedies. The unit agent will act solely as the relevant issuer’s agent in connection with the units governed by the relevant unit agreement without holders’ obligations and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of units or interests in those units. Any holder of units or interests in those units may, without the consent of the unit agent or any other holder or beneficial owner of units, enforce by

60 

appropriate legal action, on its own behalf, its rights under the relevant unit agreement without holders’ obligations. However, the holders of units or interests in those units may only enforce their rights under any pre-paid purchase contracts issued pursuant to an indenture and any debt securities or under any warrants issued as parts of those units in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture and the applicable warrant agreement.

Modifications Without Consent of Holders. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent may amend the relevant unit agreement without holders’ obligations without the consent of the holders:

· to cure any ambiguity;

· to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision in the agreement;

· in the case of the MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations, to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the agreement in respect of all or any units of any series; provided that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (a) apply to any unit issued prior to the execution of such supplemental agreement and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (b) modify the rights of any holder of such unit with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such unit outstanding; or

· in any other manner which the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, may deem necessary or desirable and which will not adversely affect the interests of the affected holders of units in any material respect.

Modifications with Consent of Holders. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of units at the time outstanding, may modify or amend the rights of the affected holders of the affected units and the terms of the relevant unit agreement without holders’ obligations. However, the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent may not, without the consent of each affected holder of units, make any modifications or amendments that would:

· materially and adversely affect the exercise rights of the affected holders;

· in the case of the MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations, remove the guarantee (except upon the merger of MSFL with and into Morgan Stanley); or

· reduce the percentage of outstanding units the consent of whose holders is required to modify or amend the relevant unit agreement without holders’ obligations.

Any debt securities and pre-paid purchase contracts issued pursuant to an indenture that are issued as part of units governed by the relevant unit agreement without holders’ obligations may be modified only in accordance with the applicable indenture, as described above under “Description of Debt Securities—Modification of the Indentures.” Any warrants issued as part of units may be modified only in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant agreement as described in “Description of Warrants—Significant Provisions of the Warrant Agreements.”

Merger or Consolidation of Morgan Stanley as Issuer Under the Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations. The Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations provides that Morgan Stanley will not merge or consolidate with any other person, unless:

· Morgan Stanley will be the continuing corporation; or

· the successor corporation:

o will be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

61 

o will expressly assume all of Morgan Stanley’s obligations under the Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations and the units issued under the Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations; and

Sale, Lease or Conveyance by Morgan Stanley as Issuer Under the Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations. The Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations provides that Morgan Stanley will not sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other person, unless:

Merger or Consolidation of MSFL, as Issuer, or Morgan Stanley, as Guarantor, Under the MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations. The MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations provides that neither MSFL, as issuer, nor Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, will merge or consolidate with any other person, unless:

· MSFL or Morgan Stanley, as applicable, will be the continuing person; or

· the successor person by merger or consolidation to MSFL or Morgan Stanley, as applicable:

o will be a person organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

Sale, Lease or Conveyance by MSFL, as Issuer, or Morgan Stanley, as Guarantor, Under the MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations. The MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations provides that neither MSFL, as issuer, nor Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, will sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other person, unless:

o will be a person organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of MSFL’s or Morgan Stanley’s obligations, as applicable, under the MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations and the units or the guarantees, as applicable, issued under the MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations; and

62 

· immediately after the sale, lease or conveyance, that acquiring person, in its capacity as issuer or guarantor, as applicable, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the MSFL Unit Agreement Without Holders’ Obligations applicable to it.

For the avoidance of doubt, the acquiring person referred to in this section may be Morgan Stanley or any subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

Replacement of Unit Certificates. The relevant issuer will replace any mutilated certificate evidencing a definitive unit at the expense of the holder upon surrender of that certificate to the unit agent. The relevant issuer will replace certificates that have been destroyed, lost or stolen at the expense of the holder upon delivery to the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent of evidence satisfactory to the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the unit agent of the destruction, loss or theft of the certificates. In the case of a destroyed, lost or stolen certificate, an indemnity satisfactory to the unit agent, the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, may be required at the expense of the holder of the units or prepaid purchase contracts evidenced by that certificate before a replacement will be issued.

Title. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, the unit agent, the trustee, the warrant agent and the agents of any of their agents will treat the registered owner of any unit as its owner, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, for all purposes.

New York Law to Govern. The unit agreements without holders’ obligations, the units, the pre-paid purchase contracts constituting part of the units and Morgan Stanley’s guarantee of units and pre-paid purchase contracts constituting part of the units issued by MSFL will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Description of Warrants

Offered Warrants

Each issuer may offer warrants separately or together with one or more additional warrants, purchase contracts, shares of preferred stock and common stock (in the case of warrants issued by Morgan Stanley) and debt securities issued by such issuer, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with such issuer, other property or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If the relevant issuer issues warrants as part of a unit, the accompanying prospectus supplement will specify whether those warrants may be separated from the other securities or property in the unit prior to the warrants’ expiration date. Warrants to purchase or sell securities of entities not affiliated with the relevant issuer issued in the United States may not be so separated prior to the 91st day after the issuance of the unit, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Each issuer may issue warrants to purchase or sell, on terms to be determined at the time of sale:

· securities issued by such issuer or by an entity affiliated or not affiliated with such issuer, a basket of those securities, an index or indices of those securities or any other property;

· currencies;

· any other property; or

· any combination of the above.

The property in the above clauses is referred to as “warrant property.” The relevant issuer may satisfy its obligations, if any, with respect to any warrants by delivering the warrant property or, in the case of warrants to purchase or sell securities or other property, the cash value of the securities, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Warrants issued by MSFL will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley as guarantor.

63

The forms of warrant agreements are filed as exhibits to the registration statement. The following summaries of significant provisions of the warrant agreements and the warrants are not intended to be comprehensive and holders of warrants should review the detailed provisions of the warrant agreement for a full description and for other information regarding the warrants.

64 

Modifications Without Consent of Warrantholders. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the warrant agent may amend the terms of the warrants and the warrant certificates without the consent of the holders:

· in the case of the MSFL warrant agreement, to evidence the assumption by a successor of the obligations of MSFL or Morgan Stanley (including to evidence the merger of MSFL with and into Morgan Stanley and, in such case, to evidence the elimination of the guarantee);

· to cure any ambiguity;

· to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;

· to establish the forms or terms of warrant certificates or warrants of any series;

· to evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor agent;

· in the case of the MSFL warrant agreement, to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the agreement in respect of all or any warrants of any series; provided that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (a) apply to any warrant issued prior to the execution of such supplemental agreement and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (b) modify the rights of any holder of such warrant with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such warrant outstanding; or

· in any other manner which the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, may deem necessary or desirable and which will not adversely affect the interests of the affected holders in any material respect.

Modifications with Consent of Warrantholders. The relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the warrant agent, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in number of the then outstanding unexercised warrants affected, may modify or amend the warrant agreement. However, the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, and the warrant agent may not make any of the following modifications or amendments without the consent of each affected warrantholder:

· change the exercise price of the warrants;

· reduce the amount receivable upon exercise, cancellation or expiration of the warrants other than in accordance with the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions included in the terms of the warrants;

· shorten the period of time during which the warrants may be exercised;

· materially and adversely affect the rights of the owners of the warrants;

· in the case of the MSFL warrant agreement, remove the guarantee (except upon the merger of MSFL with and into Morgan Stanley); or

· reduce the percentage of outstanding warrants the consent of whose owners is required for the modification of the applicable warrant agreement.

Merger, Consolidation, Sale or Other Disposition of or by Morgan Stanley as Issuer under the Warrant Agreement. If at any time Morgan Stanley merges or consolidates with, or transfers substantially all of its assets to, another entity, the successor corporation will succeed to and assume all of Morgan Stanley’s obligations under the applicable warrant agreement and the warrant certificates. Morgan Stanley will then be relieved of any further obligation under the applicable warrant agreement and the warrants issued under such agreement.

Merger or Consolidation of MSFL, as Issuer, or Morgan Stanley, as Guarantor, Under the MSFL Warrant Agreement. The MSFL warrant agreement provides that neither MSFL, as issuer, nor Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, will merge or consolidate with any other person, unless:

· MSFL or Morgan Stanley, as applicable, will be the continuing person; or

65 

· the successor person by merger or consolidation to MSFL or Morgan Stanley, as applicable:

o will be a person organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of MSFL’s or Morgan Stanley’s obligations, as applicable, under the MSFL warrant agreement and the warrants or the guarantees, as applicable, issued under the MSFL warrant agreement; and

· immediately after the merger or consolidation, MSFL, Morgan Stanley or that successor person, as the case may be, in its capacity as issuer or guarantor, as applicable, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the MSFL warrant agreement applicable to it.

For the avoidance of doubt, the successor person referred to in this section may be Morgan Stanley or any subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

Sale, Lease or Conveyance by MSFL, as Issuer, or Morgan Stanley, as Guarantor, Under the MSFL Warrant Agreement. The MSFL warrant agreement provides that neither MSFL, as issuer, nor Morgan Stanley, as guarantor, will sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other person, unless:

· the person that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of MSFL or of Morgan Stanley, as applicable:

o will be a person organized under the laws of the United States, a state of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

o will expressly assume all of MSFL’s or Morgan Stanley’s obligations, as applicable, under the MSFL warrant agreement and the warrants or the guarantees, as applicable, issued under the MSFL warrant agreement; and

· immediately after the sale, lease or conveyance, that acquiring person, in its capacity as issuer or guarantor, as applicable, will not be in default in the performance of the covenants and conditions of the MSFL warrant agreement applicable to it.

For the avoidance of doubt, the acquiring person referred to in this section may be Morgan Stanley or any subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

Enforceability of Rights of Warrantholders. The warrant agents will act solely as the agent of the relevant issuer in connection with the warrant certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of warrant certificates or beneficial owners of warrants. Any holder of warrant certificates and any beneficial owner of warrants may, without the consent of any other person, enforce by appropriate legal action, on its own behalf, its right to exercise the warrants evidenced by the warrant certificates in the manner provided for in that series of warrants or pursuant to the applicable warrant agreement. No holder of any warrant certificate or beneficial owner of any warrants will be entitled to any of the rights of a holder of the debt securities or any other warrant property purchasable upon exercise of the warrants, including the right to receive the payments on those debt securities or other warrant property or to enforce any of the covenants or rights in the relevant indenture or any other similar agreement.

Registration and Transfer of Warrants. Subject to the terms of the applicable warrant agreement, warrants in registered, definitive form may be presented for exchange and for registration of transfer, at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent for that series of warrants, or at any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of warrants, without service charge. However, the holder will be required to pay any taxes and other governmental charges as described in the warrant agreement. The transfer or exchange will be effected only if the warrant agent for the series of warrants is satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request.

New York Law to Govern. The warrants, Morgan Stanley’s guarantee of warrants issued by MSFL and each warrant agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. In the

66 

event MSFL or Morgan Stanley becomes subject to a proceeding under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”), the transfer of the warrants, the warrant agreement and the related Morgan Stanley guarantee (together, the “Relevant Agreements”), and any interest and obligation in or under the Relevant Agreements, from MSFL or Morgan Stanley, respectively, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under such U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Relevant Agreements, and any interest and obligation in or under the Relevant Agreements, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event MSFL or Morgan Stanley, or any of their affiliates, becomes subject to a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, default rights against MSFL or Morgan Stanley with respect to the Relevant Agreements are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such default rights could be exercised under such U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Relevant Agreements were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Morgan Stanley Guarantee of Warrants Issued by MSFL

The payments due, including any property deliverable under any warrants issued by MSFL, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. If, for any reason, MSFL does not make any required payment in respect of any warrant issued by it when due, Morgan Stanley will cause the payment to be made at the same address at which MSFL is obligated to make such payment. MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of the securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. See “Summary—Structural Subordination; Morgan Stanley’s Access to Assets Held by Subsidiaries May Be Restricted,” “—Status of the MSFL Securities; Relationship with Morgan Stanley Securities” and “Risk Factors—As a Finance Subsidiary, MSFL Has No Independent Operations and Will Have No Independent Assets.” Morgan Stanley’s guarantees of the payments due on warrants issued by MSFL will be unsecured senior obligations of Morgan Stanley. In addition, if MSFL were to merge with and into Morgan Stanley pursuant to the terms of the MSFL warrant agreement, the guarantee will terminate.

Description of Purchase Contracts

Each issuer may issue purchase contracts, including purchase contracts issued as part of a unit with one or more warrants, shares of preferred stock and common stock (in the case of purchase contracts issued by Morgan Stanley) and debt securities issued by such issuer, debt obligations or other securities of an entity affiliated or not affiliated with such issuer or other property, for the purchase or sale of:

· securities issued by such issuer or by an entity affiliated or not affiliated with such issuer, a basket of those securities, an index or indices of those securities or any other property;

· currencies;

· commodities;

· any other property; or

· any combination of the above.

The property in the above clauses is referred to as “purchase contract property.”

Each purchase contract will obligate the holder to purchase or sell, and obligate the relevant issuer to sell or purchase, on specified dates, the purchase contract property at a specified price or prices, all as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell the purchase contract property and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.

Purchase contracts issued by MSFL will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley as guarantor.

67 

Pre-Paid Purchase Contracts

Purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations under the purchase contracts at the time they are issued. These purchase contracts are referred to as “pre-paid purchase contracts.” In certain circumstances, Morgan Stanley’s obligation to settle pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute senior indebtedness or subordinated indebtedness of Morgan Stanley. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts issued by Morgan Stanley may be issued under the Senior Debt Indenture or the Subordinated Debt Indenture, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Purchase Contracts Issued as Part of Units

Purchase contracts issued as part of a unit will be governed by the terms and provisions of a unit agreement or, in the case of pre-paid purchase contracts issued as part of a unit that contains no other purchase contracts, a unit agreement without holders’ obligations. See “Description of Units—Significant Provisions of the Unit Agreements” and “—Significant Provisions of the Unit Agreements Without Holders’ Obligations.” The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the following:

· whether the purchase contract obligates the holder to purchase or sell the purchase contract property;

· whether and when a purchase contract issued as part of a unit may be separated from the other securities or property constituting part of that unit prior to the purchase contract’s settlement date;

· the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell the purchase contract property;

· any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract; and

· whether the purchase contracts will be issued in definitive or global form or in combination of these forms, although, in any case, the form of a purchase contract included in a unit will correspond to the form of the unit and of any debt security or warrant included in that unit.

Settlement of Purchase Contracts. Where purchase contracts issued together with debt securities or debt obligations as part of a unit require the holders to buy purchase contract property, the unit agent may apply principal payments from the debt securities or debt obligations in satisfaction of the holders’ obligations under the related purchase contract as specified in the prospectus supplement. The unit agent will not so apply the principal payments if the holder has delivered cash to meet its obligations under the purchase contract. To settle the purchase contract and receive the purchase contract property, the holder must present and surrender the unit certificates at the office of the unit agent. If a holder settles its obligations under a purchase contract that is part of a unit in cash rather than by delivering the debt security or debt obligation that is part of the unit, that debt security or debt obligation will remain outstanding, if the maturity extends beyond the relevant settlement date and, as more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder will receive that debt security or debt obligation or an interest in the relevant global debt security.

Pledge by Purchase Contract Holders to Secure Performance. To secure the obligations of the purchase contract holders contained in the Unit Agreement and in the purchase contracts, the holders of units issued by Morgan Stanley, acting through the unit agent, as their attorney-in-fact, will assign and pledge the items described below to The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), in its capacity as collateral agent, for the benefit of Morgan Stanley. To secure the obligations of the purchase contract holders contained in the MSFL Unit Agreement and in MSFL’s purchase contracts, the holders of units issued by MSFL, acting through the unit agent, as their attorney-in-fact, will assign and pledge the items described below to The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, in its capacity as collateral agent, for the benefit of MSFL. In each case, such assignment and pledge, which are referred to as the “pledge,” is a security interest in, and a lien upon and right of set-off against, all of the holders’ right, title and interest in and to:

· any common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, debt obligations or other property that are, or become, part of units that include the purchase contracts, or other property as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, which are referred to as the “pledged items”;

68 

· all additions to and substitutions for the pledged items as may be permissible, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement;

· all income, proceeds and collections received or to be received, or derived or to be derived, at any time from or in connection with the pledged items described in the two clauses above; and

· all powers and rights owned or thereafter acquired under or with respect to the pledged items.

The pledge constitutes collateral security for the performance when due by each holder of its obligations under the relevant unit agreement and the applicable purchase contract. The collateral agent will forward all payments from the pledged items to the relevant issuer, unless the payments have been released from the pledge in accordance with the relevant unit agreement. The relevant issuer will use the payments received from the pledged items to satisfy the obligations of the holder of the unit under the related purchase contract.

Property Held in Trust by Unit Agent. If a holder fails to settle in cash its obligations under a purchase contract that is part of a unit and fails to present and surrender its unit certificate to the unit agent when required, that holder will not receive the purchase contract property. Instead, the unit agent will hold that holder’s purchase contract property, together with any distributions, as the registered owner in trust for the benefit of the holder until the holder presents and surrenders the certificate or provides satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen. The unit agent, the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, may require an indemnity from the holder for liabilities related to any destroyed, lost or stolen certificate. If the holder does not present the unit certificate, or provide the necessary evidence of destruction or loss and indemnity, on or before the second anniversary of the settlement date of the related purchase contract, the unit agent will pay to the relevant issuer the amounts it received in trust for that holder. Thereafter, the holder may recover those amounts only from the relevant issuer and not the unit agent. The unit agent will have no obligation to invest or to pay interest on any amounts it holds in trust pending distribution.

Morgan Stanley Guarantee of Purchase Contracts Issued by MSFL

The payments due, including any property deliverable under any purchase contracts issued by MSFL, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. If, for any reason, MSFL does not make any required payment in respect of any purchase contract issued by it when due, Morgan Stanley will cause the payment to be made at the same address at which MSFL is obligated to make such payment. MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of the securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. See “Summary—Structural Subordination; Morgan Stanley’s Access to Assets Held by Subsidiaries May Be Restricted,” “—Status of the MSFL Securities; Relationship with Morgan Stanley Securities” and “Risk Factors—As a Finance Subsidiary, MSFL Has No Independent Operations and Will Have No Independent Assets.” Morgan Stanley’s guarantees of the payments due on purchase contracts issued by MSFL will be unsecured senior obligations of Morgan Stanley. In addition, if MSFL were to merge with and into Morgan Stanley, the guarantee will terminate.

Description of Capital Stock

The rights of holders of preferred stock or common stock offered by this prospectus will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, issuances of preferred stock in the future. Under some circumstances, alone or in combination with certain provisions of Morgan Stanley’s certificate of incorporation described below under “—Additional Provisions of Morgan Stanley’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws,” Morgan Stanley’s issuances of preferred stock may discourage or make more difficult an acquisition of Morgan Stanley that the Board of Directors deems undesirable.

The Board of Directors may issue preferred stock to obtain additional financing, in connection with acquisitions, as compensation to officers, directors or employees of Morgan Stanley and its subsidiaries in accordance with benefit plans or otherwise and for other proper corporate purposes.

Offered and Existing Common Stock

Morgan Stanley’s Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of shares of common stock and has authorized a committee of the Board of Directors to establish the price and other terms and conditions of any offering, which will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The shares of offered common stock, when issued and sold, will be fully paid and nonassessable.

Terms Specified in Prospectus Supplement. The following description sets forth some general terms and provisions of the offered common stock. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain, where applicable, the following terms of and other information relating to any offered common stock:

· number of shares to be offered;

· offering price or prices;

· any other relevant terms of the offered common stock that the Board of Directors or the committee establishes, including any restrictions on the transfer or resale of the offered common stock; and

· any additional terms of the offering.

Voting Rights. Each holder of Morgan Stanley’s common stock has one vote per share on all matters voted on generally by the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or as provided with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of Morgan Stanley’s common stock will possess all voting power. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors will be elected by a majority vote or, in the event of a contested election, a plurality vote of all votes cast at such meeting to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Because Morgan Stanley’s certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting rights, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to be voted generally in the election of directors, which is referred to as the “voting stock,” represented at a meeting will be able to elect all the directors standing for election at the meeting.

Dividends. The holders of Morgan Stanley’s common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, but only after payment of dividends required to be paid on outstanding shares of offered preferred stock and any other class or series of stock having preference over the common stock as to dividends, including the Existing Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Rights. Upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Morgan Stanley, the holders of the common stock will share pro rata in the assets remaining after payments to creditors and holders of any offered preferred stock and any other class or series of stock having preference over the common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up that may be then outstanding, including the Existing Preferred Stock. There are no preemptive or other subscription rights, conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to shares of Morgan Stanley’s common stock.

Because Morgan Stanley is a holding company, its rights and the rights of holders of its capital stock, including the holders of its common stock, to participate in the distribution of assets of any of Morgan Stanley’s subsidiaries upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or recapitalization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors and preferred shareholders, except to the extent Morgan Stanley may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary or a holder of preferred stock of the subsidiary.

On June 19, 2007, the Board of Directors passed a resolution to provide that, effective September 3, 2007, all shares of common stock issued after such date will be uncertificated. This resolution was prospective only, such that any certificated shares of common stock issued and outstanding on September 3, 2007 would not become uncertificated until the certificate is surrendered to Morgan Stanley or its transfer agent or is reported to Morgan Stanley by the holder as being lost, stolen or destroyed.

Agents and Registrar for Offered and Existing Common Stock. The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Computershare, Inc.

Offered Preferred Stock

Morgan Stanley’s Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of one or more series of additional shares of preferred stock and has authorized a committee of the Board of Directors to establish and designate series and to fix the number of shares and the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the respective series of the preferred stock offered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. The shares of offered preferred stock, when issued and sold, will be fully paid and nonassessable.

Terms Specified in Prospectus Supplement. The following description sets forth some general terms and provisions of the offered preferred stock. The number of shares and all of the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the respective series of offered preferred stock that the Board of Directors or the committee establishes will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of particular series of offered preferred stock may differ, among other things, in:

· designation;

· number of shares that constitute the series;

· dividend rate, or the method of calculating the dividend rate, including whether dividends will be cumulative or noncumulative;

· dividend payment dates and dividend periods, or the method of calculating the dividend payment dates and dividend periods;

· priority of dividends;

· redemption provisions, including whether or not, on what terms and at what prices the shares will be subject to mandatory redemption, to a sinking fund provision or to redemption at Morgan Stanley’s option;

· voting rights;

· preferences and rights upon liquidation or winding up;

· whether or not and on what terms the shares will be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class, series or security of Morgan Stanley or any other corporation or any other property;

· for preferred stock convertible into common stock, the number of shares of common stock to be reserved in connection with, and issued upon conversion of, the preferred stock;

· whether depositary shares representing the offered preferred stock will be offered and, if so, the fraction or multiple of a share that each depositary share will represent; and

· the other rights and privileges and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of those rights or privileges.

The Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors will adopt the resolutions to be included in the certificate of designation prior to the issuance of a series of offered preferred stock, and the certificate of designation will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.

Agents and Registrar for Offered Preferred Stock. The transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and registrar for each series of offered preferred stock will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to that series.

Depositary Shares

Morgan Stanley may, at its option, elect to offer fractional shares or some multiple of shares of offered preferred stock, rather than individual shares of offered preferred stock. If Morgan Stanley chooses to do so, it will issue depositary receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction or a multiple of a share of a particular series of offered preferred stock as described below.

The following statements concerning depositary shares, depositary receipts, and the deposit agreement are not intended to be comprehensive and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the forms of these documents, which

72 

have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement. Each investor should refer to the detailed provisions of those documents, as explained under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” in the Summary.

The shares of any series of offered preferred stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement among Morgan Stanley, a bank, acting as depositary, which is referred to as the Preferred Stock Depositary, and the holders from time to time of depositary receipts issued under the agreement. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each holder of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the fraction or multiple of a share of offered preferred stock represented by that depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the offered preferred stock represented by that depositary share, including dividend, voting and liquidation rights. The Preferred Stock Depositary for a series of offered preferred stock will be identified in the prospectus supplement for such series.

The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued under the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional or multiple shares of the related series of offered preferred stock. Immediately following the issuance of shares of a series of offered preferred stock, Morgan Stanley will deposit those shares with the Preferred Stock Depositary, which will then issue and deliver the depositary receipts to the purchasers. Depositary receipts will only be issued evidencing whole depositary shares. A depositary receipt may evidence any number of whole depositary shares.

Dividends and Other Distributions. The Preferred Stock Depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received on the related series of offered preferred stock to the record holders of depositary receipts relating to those series in proportion to the number of the depositary shares evidenced by depositary receipts those holders own.

If Morgan Stanley makes a distribution other than in cash, the Preferred Stock Depositary will distribute the property it receives to the record holders of depositary receipts in proportion to the number of depositary shares evidenced by depositary receipts those holders own, unless the Preferred Stock Depositary determines that the distribution cannot be made proportionately among those holders or that it is not feasible to make the distribution. In that event, the Preferred Stock Depositary may, with Morgan Stanley’s approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds to the holders in proportion to the number of depositary shares evidenced by depositary receipts they own.

The amount distributed to holders of depositary shares will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by Morgan Stanley or the Preferred Stock Depositary on account of taxes or other governmental charges.

Withdrawal of Stock. Upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the Preferred Stock Depositary and upon payment of the taxes, charges and fees provided for in the deposit agreement and compliance with any other requirement of the deposit agreement, the holder of the depositary shares evidenced by those depositary receipts is entitled to delivery of the number of whole shares of the related series of offered preferred stock and all money or other property, if any, represented by those shares. Holders of depositary receipts representing any number of whole shares of offered preferred stock will be entitled to receive whole shares of the related series of offered preferred stock, but those holders of whole shares of offered preferred stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit those shares of offered preferred stock with the Preferred Stock Depositary or to receive depositary shares therefor. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number representing whole shares of the related series of offered preferred stock to be withdrawn, the Preferred Stock Depositary will deliver to the holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares.

Voting the Offered Preferred Stock. Upon receiving notice of any meeting at which the holders of any series of the offered preferred stock are entitled to vote, the Preferred Stock Depositary will mail the information contained in the notice of the meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts relating to that series of offered preferred stock. Each record holder of the depositary receipts on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the related series of offered preferred stock, may instruct the Preferred Stock Depositary how to exercise his or her voting rights. The Preferred Stock Depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the maximum number of whole shares of the offered preferred stock represented by those depositary shares in accordance with those instructions received sufficiently in advance of the meeting, and Morgan Stanley will agree to

73 

take all reasonable action that may be deemed necessary by the Preferred Stock Depositary in order to enable the Preferred Stock Depositary to do so. The Preferred Stock Depositary will abstain from voting shares of the offered preferred stock for which it does not receive specific instructions from the holder of the depositary shares representing them.

Redemption of Depositary Shares. Depositary shares will be redeemed from any proceeds received by the Preferred Stock Depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of the series of the offered preferred stock represented by those depositary shares. The redemption price per depositary share will equal the applicable fraction or multiple of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the series of the offered preferred stock. If Morgan Stanley redeems shares of a series of offered preferred stock held by the Preferred Stock Depositary, the Preferred Stock Depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing the shares of offered preferred stock that it redeems. If less than all the depositary shares will be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or substantially equivalent method determined by the Preferred Stock Depositary.

After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of the holders of the depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the monies payable and any other property to which the holders were entitled upon the redemption upon surrender to the Preferred Stock Depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares. Any funds deposited by Morgan Stanley with the Preferred Stock Depositary for any depositary shares that the holders fail to redeem will be returned to it after a period of two years from the date the funds are deposited.

Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement. Morgan Stanley may amend the form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement at any time and from time to time by agreement with the Preferred Stock Depositary. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary receipts will not be effective unless it has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding, and no amendment may impair the right of any holder of any depositary receipts, described above under “—Withdrawal of Stock,” to receive shares of the related series of offered preferred stock and any money or other property represented by those depositary shares, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Morgan Stanley may terminate the deposit agreement at any time with at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Preferred Stock Depositary. Within 30 days of the date of the notice, the Preferred Stock Depositary will deliver or make available for delivery to holders of depositary receipts, upon surrender of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares and upon payment of any applicable taxes or governmental charges to be paid by the holders as described below, the number of whole shares of the related series of offered preferred stock as are represented by the depositary receipts. The deposit agreement will automatically terminate after there has been a final distribution on the related series of offered preferred stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Morgan Stanley and that distribution has been made to the holders of depositary shares.

Charges of Preferred Stock Depositary. Morgan Stanley will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. Morgan Stanley will pay all charges of the Preferred Stock Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the related series of offered preferred stock, the initial issuance of the depositary shares, all withdrawals of shares of the related series of offered preferred stock by holders of depositary shares and the registration of transfers of title to any depositary shares. However, holders of depositary shares will pay other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and the other charges expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.

Limitation on Liability of Company and Preferred Stock Depositary. Neither the Preferred Stock Depositary nor Morgan Stanley will be liable if it is prevented or delayed by law, by any provision of Morgan Stanley’s certificate of incorporation or of the depositary shares or by any circumstance beyond its control from performing its obligations under the deposit agreement. The obligations of Morgan Stanley and the Preferred Stock Depositary under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance with best judgment and in good faith of their duties thereunder, except that they will be liable for negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of their duties thereunder, and they will not be obligated to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal proceeding related to any depositary receipts, depositary shares or related series of offered preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished.

74 

Corporate Trust Office of Preferred Stock Depositary. The address of the Preferred Stock Depositary’s corporate trust office will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement for a series of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock Depositary will act as transfer agent and registrar for depositary receipts, and, if shares of a series of offered preferred stock are redeemable, the Preferred Stock Depositary will act as redemption agent for the corresponding depositary receipts.

Resignation and Removal of Preferred Stock Depositary. The Preferred Stock Depositary may resign at any time by delivering to Morgan Stanley written notice of its election to do so, and Morgan Stanley may at any time remove the Preferred Stock Depositary. Any resignation or removal will take effect upon the appointment of a successor Preferred Stock Depositary. A successor must be appointed by Morgan Stanley within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

Reports to Holders. Morgan Stanley will deliver all required reports and communications to holders of the offered preferred stock to the Preferred Stock Depositary, and it will forward those reports and communications to the holders of depositary shares.

Inspection by Holders. Upon request, the Preferred Stock Depositary will provide for inspection to the holders of depositary shares the transfer books of the depositary and the list of holders of receipts; provided that any requesting holder certifies to the Preferred Stock Depositary that such inspection is for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as an owner of depositary shares evidenced by the receipts.

Each series of Existing Preferred Stock ranks prior to the common stock as to payment of dividends and amounts payable on liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The shares of the Existing Preferred Stock are fully paid and nonassessable and have no preemptive rights.

· Series I Preferred Stock: noncumulative cash dividends at a per annum rate equal to 6.375% with respect to each dividend period from and including September 18, 2014 to, but excluding, October 15, 2024 and at a rate per annum equal to the three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR on the related dividend determination date plus 3.708% with respect to each dividend period from and including October 15, 2024.

· Series O Preferred Stock: noncumulative cash dividends at a per annum rate equal to 4.250%.

Each series of Existing Preferred Stock is noncumulative preferred stock.

Each series of Existing Preferred Stock will be junior as to payment of dividends to any preferred stock that may be issued in the future that is expressly senior as to dividends to the Existing Preferred Stock. If at any time Morgan Stanley has failed to pay accumulated dividends on any preferred stock that is senior to a series of Existing Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends, Morgan Stanley may not pay any dividends on the junior series of Existing Preferred Stock or redeem or otherwise repurchase any shares of the junior series of Existing Preferred Stock until it has paid in full, or set aside for payment, such accumulated but unpaid dividends on those senior shares.

Morgan Stanley will not declare or pay or set aside for payment, dividends for the latest dividend period on any series of offered preferred stock ranking on a parity as to payment of dividends with any series of Existing Preferred

76 

Stock, unless it also declares or pays or sets aside for payment the accrued dividends on the outstanding shares of such series for the latest dividend payment period. Morgan Stanley must declare, pay or set aside for payment any amounts on the offered preferred stock ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of unpaid dividends described in the preceding sentence.

Except as described above, and subject to some additional exceptions set forth in the relevant certificate of designations, unless Morgan Stanley has paid full accrued dividends on the outstanding shares of each series of Existing Preferred Stock for the latest dividend payment period with respect to each such series, Morgan Stanley may not during a divided period for any series:

· declare or pay a dividend or distribution on common stock or any preferred stock that ranks junior to such series as to dividend rights and as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or

· redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire Morgan Stanley’s common stock or any preferred stock that ranks junior to, or, in the case of Series M Preferred Stock and Series N Preferred Stock, that ranks junior to or on a parity with, such series as to dividend rights and as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Redemption. The Existing Preferred Stock is not and will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund provision or other similar provision. The Existing Preferred Stock is redeemable, subject to receipt of any required regulatory approvals, in whole or in part, upon 30 days’ notice as follows:

· the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at a redemption price of $25,000.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, regardless of whether dividends are actually declared, to but excluding the date of redemption;

Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Morgan Stanley, the holders of shares of Existing Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of Morgan Stanley available for distribution to stockholders, liquidating distributions before any distribution is made to holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Existing Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Morgan Stanley’s common stock. The liquidating distribution that each series of Existing Preferred Stock is entitled to receive is as follows:

· the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution in an amount equal to $25,000.00 per share, together with an amount equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared but not paid with respect to such series prior to the date of payment of such distribution (but without any accumulation in respect of dividends that have not been declared prior to such payment date);

· the Series M Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution in an amount equal to $1,000.00 per share, together with an amount equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared but not paid with respect to such series prior to the date of payment of such distribution (but without any accumulation in respect of dividends that have not been declared prior to such payment date);

· the Series N Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution in an amount equal to $100,000.00 per share, together with an amount equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared but not paid with respect to such series prior to the date of payment of such distribution (but without any accumulation in respect of dividends that have not been declared prior to such payment date);

· the Series O Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution in an amount equal to $25,000.00 per share, together with an amount equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared but not paid with respect to such series prior to the date of payment of such distribution (but without any accumulation in respect of dividends that have not been declared prior to such payment date); and

· the Series P Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution in an amount equal to $25,000.00 per share, together with an amount equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared but not paid with respect to such series prior to the date of payment of such distribution (but without any accumulation in respect of dividends that have not been declared prior to such payment date).

However, holders of shares of the Existing Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the liquidation price of their shares until Morgan Stanley has paid or set aside an amount sufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference of any class or series of Morgan Stanley’s capital stock ranking senior as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Morgan Stanley, assets of Morgan Stanley then distributable are insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to the Existing Preferred Stock and any other preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Existing Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the Existing Preferred Stock and of that other preferred stock will share ratably in any distribution in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled. After Morgan Stanley has paid the full amount of the liquidating distribution to which they are entitled, the holders of the Existing Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by Morgan Stanley.

Voting Rights. Holders of Existing Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights except as described below or as otherwise from time to time required by law. Whenever dividends on any series of Existing Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more dividend periods (or, for the Series M Preferred Stock and the Series N Preferred Stock, three semi-annual or six quarterly full dividend periods), whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of Morgan Stanley shall be automatically increased by two and the holders of shares of Existing Preferred Stock, voting together as a class with holders of any and all other series of preferred stock having similar voting rights that are exercisable, will be entitled to elect two directors to fill such newly created directorships at Morgan Stanley’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting. These voting rights will continue for each series of Existing Preferred Stock until dividends on such shares have been fully paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of such dividends shall have been set aside for such payment) for at least four regular dividend periods (or, for the Series M Preferred Stock and the Series N Preferred Stock, the equivalent of two consecutive semi-annual dividend periods or four consecutive quarterly dividend periods) following the nonpayment. The term of office of all directors elected by the holders of preferred stock will terminate immediately upon the termination of the right of holders of preferred stock to vote for directors.

So long as any shares of Existing Preferred Stock remain outstanding, Morgan Stanley will not, without the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Existing Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a single class with holders of any and all other series of preferred stock having similar voting rights that are exercisable

79 

· amend or alter any provision of Morgan Stanley’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or the certificate of designations of preferences and rights with respect to any series of the Existing Preferred Stock to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of stock ranking senior to any series of Existing Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up;

· amend, alter or repeal any provision of Morgan Stanley’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or the certificate of designations of preferences and rights with respect to any series of the Existing Preferred Stock if such amendment, alteration or repeal would cause a material and adverse effect with respect to the special rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of any Existing Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise. For purposes of the preceding sentence any increase in the authorized amount of common stock or preferred stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Morgan Stanley’s common stock or preferred stock ranking on a parity with or junior to the Existing Preferred Stock as to dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up will not be deemed to materially and adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of any Existing Preferred Stock; or

· consummate any binding share exchange or reclassification involving any series of Existing Preferred Stock, or merger or consolidation of Morgan Stanley with another entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Existing Preferred Stock remain outstanding or are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares remain outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Existing Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole.

Additional Provisions of Morgan Stanley’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Board of Directors. Morgan Stanley’s Board of Directors currently consists of fourteen directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, all directors will be elected by either a majority vote or, in the event of a contested election, a plurality vote of all votes cast at such meeting to hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Under Morgan Stanley’s amended and restated bylaws (the “bylaws”), a majority vote of the Board of Directors may increase or decrease the number of directors. However, the bylaws provide that the Board shall consist of not less than three nor more than fifteen members. Morgan Stanley’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “certificate of incorporation”) also provides that directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors or newly created directorship will be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, and those newly elected directors will serve for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders, and until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified.

Limitations on Actions by Stockholders; Calling Special Meetings of Stockholders. Morgan Stanley’s certificate of incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock or any other series of capital stock set forth in the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by Morgan Stanley’s stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting. Morgan Stanley’s bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock or any other series of capital stock set forth in the certificate of incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Secretary of Morgan Stanley either (i) at any time at the direction of and pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or (ii) at the written request of stockholders of record owning at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of Morgan Stanley (excluding shares as to which the holder would not have the right to vote or has transferred any of the economic consequences of ownership), subject to certain requirements with respect to the form, nature and timing of such request.

Amendment of Governing Documents. Morgan Stanley’s certificate of incorporation provides that, generally, it can be amended in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware. Under Section 242 of the

80 

Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board of Directors may propose, and the stockholders may adopt by a majority vote of the voting stock, an amendment to Morgan Stanley’s certificate of incorporation.

Morgan Stanley’s certificate of incorporation provides that Morgan Stanley’s bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the bylaws provide that Morgan Stanley’s bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new provisions may be adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors or the stockholders at any meeting thereof.

Limitation of Directors’ Liability. Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Under Morgan Stanley’s certificate of incorporation, a director of Morgan Stanley will not be personally liable to Morgan Stanley or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent the exemption from liability or limitation of liability is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law as in effect or as that law may be amended.

Forms of Securities

Each debt security, warrant, purchase contract and unit will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Both certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form, where the relevant issuer’s obligation runs to the holder of the security named on the face of the security. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and, in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as explained more fully below under “—Global Securities.”

Each issuer’s obligations, as well as the obligations of the guarantor, if applicable, the obligations of the trustee under any indenture and the obligations, if any, of any warrant agents and unit agents and any other agents of the relevant issuer, the guarantor, if applicable, any agents of the trustee or any agents of any warrant agents or unit agents, run only to the persons or entities named as holders of the securities in the relevant security register. Neither the relevant issuer nor the guarantor, if applicable, any trustee, warrant agent, unit agent, other agent of such issuer or guarantor, if applicable, agent of the trustee or agent of the warrant agents or unit agents have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interest in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means.

Upon making a payment or giving a notice to the holder as required by the terms of that security, the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, will have no further responsibility for that payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect owners of beneficial interests in that security but does not do so. Similarly, if such issuer wants to obtain the approval or consent of the holders of any securities for any purpose, such issuer would seek the approval only from the holders, and not the indirect owners, of the relevant securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect owners would be governed by the agreements between such holders and the indirect owners.

References to “you” in this prospectus refer to those who invest in the securities being offered by this prospectus, whether they are the direct holders or only indirect owners of beneficial interests in those securities.

Global Securities

Each issuer may issue the registered debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the

81 

applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or its nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.

Debt securities in registered global form issued by Morgan Stanley under the NSS will be deposited with a common safekeeper for Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg and will be registered in the name of a nominee of the common safekeeper. Morgan Stanley anticipates that the provisions described under “—The Depositary” below will apply to all other depositary arrangements, unless otherwise described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities.

Form of Securities Included in Units

The form of the warrant or purchase contract included in a unit will correspond to the form of the unit and of any other security included in that unit.

The Depositary

Except as otherwise described herein and/or stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York will be designated as the depositary for any registered global security. Each registered global security will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., the Depositary’s nominee.

The Depositary is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Depositary holds securities deposited with it by its direct participants, and it facilitates the settlement of transactions among its direct participants in those securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. The Depositary’s direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, including the agents, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations, some of whom and/or their representatives own the Depositary. Access to the Depositary’s book-entry system is also available to others, such as both U.S. and non-U.S. brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations, such as Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to the Depositary and its participants are on file with the SEC.

Purchases of the securities under the Depositary’s system must be made by or through its direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on the Depositary’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security (the “beneficial owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the records of direct and indirect participants. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from the Depositary of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the securities are to be made by entries on the books of direct and indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all securities deposited with the Depositary are registered in the name of the Depositary’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co, or such other name as may be requested by the Depositary. The deposit of securities with the Depositary and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee of the Depositary do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. The Depositary has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities; the Depositary’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

82 

Conveyance of notices and other communications by the Depositary to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Neither the Depositary nor Cede & Co. (nor such other nominee of the Depositary) will consent or vote with respect to the securities unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures. Under its usual procedures, the Depositary mails an omnibus proxy to the relevant issuer as soon as possible after the applicable record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy to whose accounts the securities are credited on the record date.

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede & Co or such other nominee as may be requested by the Depositary. The Depositary’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon the Depositary’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the relevant issuer or any agent of it, on the date payable in accordance with their respective holdings shown on the Depositary’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of the Depositary or its nominee, the trustee, any agent of the relevant issuer, the relevant issuer or the guarantor, if applicable, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payments of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. or such other nominee as may be requested by the Depositary is the responsibility of the relevant issuer or of any paying agent of it, disbursement of such payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of the Depositary, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

The Depositary may discontinue providing its services as depositary with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to the relevant issuer or its agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained by the relevant issuer within 90 days, security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. In addition, under the terms of the indentures, the relevant issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion decide not to have any of the securities represented by one or more registered global securities. Each issuer understands, however, that, under current industry practices, the Depositary would notify its participants of its request, but will only withdraw beneficial interests from a global security at the request of each participant. The relevant issuer would issue definitive certificates in exchange for any such interests withdrawn. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the Depositary gives to the relevant trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of such issuer or theirs. It is expected that the Depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the Depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the Depositary.

According to the Depositary, the foregoing information relating to the Depositary has been provided to the financial community for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as a representation, warranty or contract modification of any kind.

The information in this section concerning the Depositary and Depositary’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but neither issuer nor the guarantor takes any responsibility for the accuracy thereof. The Depositary may change or discontinue the foregoing procedures at any time.

Securities Offered on a Global Basis Through the Depositary

If an issuer offers any of the securities on a global basis through the Depositary, it will so specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. The additional information contained in this section under “—Book-Entry, Delivery and Form” and “—Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures” will apply to every offering on a global basis through the Depositary. The additional provisions described under “—Tax Redemption” and “—Payment of Additional Amounts” will apply to securities offered on a global basis through the Depositary only if the relevant issuer so specifies in the applicable prospectus supplement.

83 

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

The securities will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global securities which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co. Beneficial interests in the registered global securities will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in the Depositary, as described above. Investors may elect to hold interests in the registered global securities held by the Depositary through Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear if they are participants in those systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in those systems. Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream, Luxembourg’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold interests in the registered global securities in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of the Depositary. Citibank, N.A. will act as depositary for Clearstream, Luxembourg, and JPMorgan Chase, N.A., a New York banking corporation, will act as depositary for Euroclear. Each of Citibank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase, N.A., acting in this depositary capacity, is referred to as the “U.S. depositary” for the relevant clearing system. Except as set forth below, the registered global securities may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to the Depositary, another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or its nominee.

Clearstream, Luxembourg advises that distributions with respect to the securities held through Clearstream, Luxembourg will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream, Luxembourg customers in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Clearstream, Luxembourg.

Euroclear advises that distributions with respect to the securities held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear participants in accordance with the terms and conditions, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Euroclear.

Euroclear further advises that investors that acquire, hold and transfer interests in securities by book-entry through accounts with Euroclear or any other securities intermediary are subject to the laws and contractual provisions governing their relationship with their intermediary, as well as the laws and contractual provisions governing the relationship between their intermediary and each other intermediary, if any, standing between themselves and the securities.

Individual certificates in respect of the securities will not be issued in exchange for the registered global securities, except in very limited circumstances. If the Depositary notifies the relevant issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a clearing system in connection with the registered global securities or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor clearing system is not appointed by such issuer within 90 days after receiving that notice from the Depositary or upon becoming aware that the Depositary is no longer so registered, such issuer will issue or cause to be issued individual certificates in registered form on registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, book-entry interests in the securities represented by registered global securities upon delivery of those registered global securities for cancellation.

Title to book-entry interests in the securities will pass by book-entry registration of the transfer within the records of Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear or the Depositary, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective procedures. Book-entry interests in the securities may be transferred within Clearstream, Luxembourg and within Euroclear and between Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear in accordance with procedures established for these purposes by Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear. Book-entry interests in the securities may be transferred within the Depositary in accordance with procedures established for this purpose by the Depositary. Transfers of book-entry interests in the securities among Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear and the Depositary may be effected in accordance with procedures established for this purpose by Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear and the Depositary.

Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures

Initial settlement for the securities offered on a global basis through the Depositary will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between the Depositary’s participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the Depositary’s rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using the Depositary’s

84 

Same-Day Funds Settlement System. Secondary market trading between Clearstream, Luxembourg customers and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional Eurobonds in immediately available funds.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through the Depositary on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream, Luxembourg customers or Euroclear participants, on the other, will be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Depositary’s rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its U.S. depositary; however, these cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in the clearing system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering interests in the securities to or receiving interests in the securities from the Depositary, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to the Depositary. Clearstream, Luxembourg customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of interests in the securities received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a Depositary participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the Depositary settlement date. Credits of interests or any transactions involving interests in the securities received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a Depositary participant and settled during subsequent securities settlement processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg customers or Euroclear participants on the business day following the Depositary settlement date. Cash received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of interests in the securities by or through a Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or a Euroclear participant to a Depositary participant will be received with value on the Depositary settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in the Depositary.

Although the Depositary, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the securities among participants of the Depositary, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform the foregoing procedures and these procedures may be changed or discontinued at any time.

Payment of Additional Amounts

If specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the relevant issuer will, with respect to any of the securities offered on a global basis through the Depositary and subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay any additional amounts, the “additional amounts,” to the registered holder of any security who is a U.S. Alien (as defined below) as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on such security and any other amounts payable on such security, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of the payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in such security to be then due and payable.

The relevant issuer will not, however, make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of such security, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

85 

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of such security for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment in respect of such security is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of such security;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, such security, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other paying agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the holder or the beneficial owner (1) is a bank purchasing such security in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying such security for investment purposes nor (B) buying such security for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding such security for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of such security, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Morgan Stanley’s stock entitled to vote or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of it; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the relevant issuer pay additional amounts with respect to any payment on a security to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or interestholder of that limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the additional amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in such security directly.

As used in this prospectus, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a foreign trust as defined by the Internal

86 

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

Tax Redemption

If specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the relevant issuer may redeem, in whole but not in part, any of the securities offered on a global basis through the Depositary at its option at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of tax redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of those securities, except as otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, if such issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of those laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the date of the applicable prospectus supplement, such issuer has or will become obligated to pay additional amounts, as defined above under “—Payment of Additional Amounts,” with respect to such securities as described above under “—Payment of Additional Amounts.” Prior to the giving of any notice of tax redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the relevant issuer will deliver to the trustee:

· a certificate stating that such issuer is entitled to effect the redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to such issuer’s right to so redeem have occurred; and

· an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the trustee to the effect that such issuer is entitled to effect the redemption based on the statement of facts set forth in the certificate;

provided that no notice of tax redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the relevant issuer would be obligated to pay the additional amounts if a payment in respect of the securities were then due.

Notice of tax redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice. Notice will be given in accordance with “—Notices” below.

Notices

Notices to holders of the securities will be given by mailing the notices to each holder by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at the respective address of each holder as that address appears upon the relevant issuer’s books. Notices given to the Depositary, as holder of the registered global securities, will be passed on to the beneficial owners of the securities in accordance with the standard rules and procedures of the Depositary and its direct and indirect participants, including Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear.

United States Federal Taxation

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences and certain estate tax consequences of ownership and disposition of debt securities issued under this prospectus (“debt securities”). This discussion applies to you only if you are an initial investor in debt securities who for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

· purchases the debt securities at their “issue price,” which will equal the first price at which a substantial amount of the issue of debt securities is sold to the public (not including bond houses,

87 

brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) and

· holds the debt securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

Subject to any additional discussions in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, it is expected, and the discussion below assumes, that the issue price of a debt security is equal to its stated issue price indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement. The discussion applies only to debt securities treated as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of other debt securities will be addressed in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

As the law applicable to the U.S. federal income taxation of instruments such as the debt securities is technical and complex, the discussion below necessarily represents only a general summary. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed, nor are any alternative minimum tax consequences, special tax accounting rules under Section 451 of the Code or consequences resulting from the Medicare tax on investment income. This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date hereof may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly with retroactive effect. Persons considering the purchase of the debt securities should consult their tax advisers with regard to the application of the U.S. federal income and estate tax laws to their particular situations as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

This discussion is subject to any additional discussion regarding U.S. federal taxation contained in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement. Accordingly, you should also consult the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement for any additional discussion of U.S. federal taxation with respect to the specific debt securities offered thereunder.

This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder’s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as:

· certain financial institutions;

· insurance companies;

· dealers and certain traders in securities or commodities;

· investors holding debt securities as part of a “straddle,” wash sale, conversion transaction, integrated transaction or constructive sale transaction;

· U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

· partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

· regulated investment companies;

· real estate investment trusts; or

· tax-exempt entities, “individual retirement accounts” or “Roth IRAs” as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively.

If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds a debt security, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership holding the debt securities or a partner in such a partnership, you should consult your tax adviser as to the particular U.S. federal tax consequences of holding and disposing of a debt security to you.

General

88 

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, MSFL is disregarded as an entity separate from Morgan Stanley. Therefore, debt securities issued by MSFL will generally be treated as if they were debt securities issued by Morgan Stanley for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The discussion below is subject to, and should be read in conjunction with, the discussion below under “Possible Taxable Events.”

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of debt securities that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

· a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

· a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; or

· an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Payments of Stated Interest. Subject to the discussion below, stated interest paid on a debt security will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Discount Notes. A debt security (other than a short-term note, as defined below) that is issued at an issue price less than its “stated redemption price at maturity” will be considered to have been issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and will be referred to in this discussion as a “discount note”) unless the debt security satisfies a de minimis threshold (as described below). The amount of original issue discount on a discount note will be equal to the excess of the “stated redemption price at maturity” over the issue price. The “stated redemption price at maturity” of a debt security equals the sum of all payments required under the debt security other than payments of “qualified stated interest.” “Qualified stated interest” is stated interest unconditionally payable as a series of payments (other than debt instruments of Morgan Stanley or MSFL) at least annually during the entire term of the debt security and equal to the outstanding principal balance of the debt security multiplied by:

· a single fixed rate of interest payable throughout the term of the debt security;

· a single variable rate payable throughout the term of the debt security; or

· to the extent described as such in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, any other floating rate or rates.

A debt security will not be considered to have original issue discount if the difference between the debt security’s stated redemption price at maturity and its issue price is less than a de minimis amount, defined by applicable Treasury regulations as ¼ of 1 percent of the stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity, or, in the case of an installment obligation (as defined by applicable Treasury regulations), the weighted average maturity. The weighted average maturity is the sum of the following amounts determined for each payment under the debt security other than a payment of qualified stated interest: (i) the number of complete years from the issue date of the debt security until the payment is made multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the payment and the denominator of which is the debt security’s stated redemption price at maturity.

A U.S. Holder of discount notes will be required to include any qualified stated interest payments in income in accordance with the holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders of discount notes will be required to include original issue discount in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant yield method based on a compounding of interest, without regard to the timing of the receipt of cash payments attributable to this income. Under this method, U.S. Holders of discount notes generally

89 

will be required to include in income increasingly greater amounts of original issue discount in successive accrual periods.

A U.S. Holder may make an election to include in gross income all interest that accrues on any debt security (including stated interest, original issue discount and de minimis original issue discount, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium) in accordance with a constant yield method based on the compounding of interest (a “constant yield election”). Such election may be revoked only with the permission of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).

Discount Notes Subject to Early Redemption. A discount note subject to redemption prior to maturity may be subject to rules that differ from the general rules described above for purposes of determining the yield and maturity of the debt security (which may affect whether the debt security is treated as issued with original issue discount and, if so, the timing of accrual of the original issue discount). Under applicable Treasury regulations, the relevant issuer will generally be presumed to exercise an option to redeem a debt security if the exercise of the option will lower the yield on the debt security. Conversely, you will generally be presumed to exercise an option to require the relevant issuer to repurchase a debt security if the exercise of the option will increase the yield on the debt security. If such an option is not in fact exercised, the debt security will be treated, solely for purposes of calculating original issue discount, as if it were redeemed and a new debt security were issued on the presumed exercise date for an amount equal to the debt security’s “adjusted issue price” on that date. A debt security’s “adjusted issue price” is defined as the sum of its issue price and the aggregate amount of previously accrued original issue discount, less any prior payments on the debt security other than payments of qualified stated interest.

Under these rules, if a debt security provides for a fixed rate of interest that increases over the term of the debt security, the debt security’s issue price is not below its stated principal amount and the relevant issuer has an option to redeem the debt security for an amount equal to the stated principal amount on or prior to the first date on which an increased rate of interest is in effect, the yield on the debt security will be lowered if the relevant issuer redeems the debt security before the initial increase in the interest rate. Since the debt security will therefore be treated as if it were redeemed and reissued prior to the initial increase in the interest rate, the debt security will not be treated as issued with original issue discount. If a debt security described in this paragraph is not treated as issued with original issue discount and if, contrary to the presumption in the applicable Treasury regulations, the relevant issuer does not redeem the debt security before the initial increase in the interest rate, the same analysis will apply to all subsequent increases in the interest rate. This means that the debt security that is deemed reissued will be treated as redeemed prior to any subsequent increase in the interest rate, and therefore as issued without original issue discount. If the actual remaining term of the debt security is one year or less at the time of a deemed reissuance, it is possible that the deemed reissued debt security would be treated as a short-term debt instrument. See “ –Short Term Notes” below. While a debt security with a deemed remaining term of one year or less based on the presumed exercise of an option should not be treated as a short-term debt instrument, the IRS or a court might treat the stated interest payable on the debt security as original issue discount instead of qualified stated interest during that deemed remaining term. You should consult your tax adviser regarding this uncertainty.

Short-Term Notes. A debt security that matures (after taking into account the last possible date that the debt security could be outstanding under the terms of the debt security) one year or less from its issue date (a “short-term note”) will be treated as being issued at a discount and none of the interest paid on the debt security will be treated as qualified stated interest. In general, a cash-method U.S. Holder of a short-term note is not required to accrue the discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless it elects to do so. A cash-method U.S. Holder who does not make such election should generally include the stated interest payments on the short-term notes, if any, as ordinary income upon receipt. However, it is unclear, where a short-term note does not provide for the return of the principal amount under all circumstances, whether payments of stated interest should in all cases be required to be included in income on a current basis. U.S. Holders that so elect and certain other U.S. Holders, including those who report income on the accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are required to include the discount in income as it accrues on a straight-line basis, unless another election is made to accrue the discount according to a constant yield method based on daily compounding. A U.S. Holder that is not required and that does

90 

not elect to apply an accrual method of tax accounting to the short-term note should recognize gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or retirement of the short-term note in an amount equal to the difference between the amount received and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the short-term note. Gain recognized upon a sale, exchange or retirement will be ordinary income to the extent of accrued discount not yet taken into income, and otherwise will be treated as short-term capital loss. Any resulting loss will be treated as short-term capital gain. In addition, such a U.S. Holder will be required to defer deductions for any interest paid on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry the short-term note, in an amount not exceeding the accrued discount, until the accrued discount is included in income or the U.S. Holder disposes of the short-term note in a taxable transaction.

Amortizable Bond Premium. If a U.S. Holder purchases a debt security for an amount that is greater than the sum of all amounts payable on the debt security other than qualified stated interest, the U.S. Holder will be considered to have purchased the debt security with amortizable bond premium equal to such excess. Special rules may apply in the case of debt securities that are subject to optional redemption. A U.S. Holder may generally use the amortizable bond premium allocable to an accrual period to offset qualified stated interest required to be included in such holder’s income with respect to the debt security in that accrual period. A U.S. Holder that elects to amortize bond premium must reduce its tax basis in the debt security by the amount of the premium previously amortized. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations then owned and thereafter acquired by the U.S. Holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

If a U.S. Holder makes a constant yield election (as described under “—Discount Notes” above) for a debt security with amortizable bond premium, such election will result in a deemed election to amortize bond premium for all of the holder’s debt instruments with amortizable bond premium and may be revoked only with the permission of the IRS with respect to debt instruments acquired after revocation.

Sale, Exchange or Retirement of the Debt Securities. Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a debt security, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the debt security. For these purposes, the amount realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest. Amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest are treated as interest as described under “—Payments of Stated Interest” above.

A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a debt security will equal the cost of the debt security to the holder, increased by the amounts of any original issue discount previously included in income by the U.S. Holder with respect to the debt security and reduced by any amortized bond premium, any principal payments received by the U.S. Holder and, in the case of a discount note, by the amounts of any other payments that do not constitute qualified stated interest (as defined above).

Subject to the discussion above in “—Short-Term Notes,” gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a debt security will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or retirement the debt security has been held for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Backup withholding may apply in respect of payments on the debt securities and the payment of proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the debt securities, unless a U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In addition, information returns may be filed with the IRS in respect of payments on the debt securities and the payment of proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the debt securities, unless the U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption from the information reporting rules.

91 

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of debt securities that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

· an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien;

· a foreign corporation; or

· a foreign estate or trust.

The term “Non-U.S. Holder” does not include any of the following holders:

· a holder who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

· certain former citizens or residents of the United States; or

· a holder for whom income or gain in respect of the debt securities is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

Such holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the debt securities.

Subject to the discussion below under “—FATCA,” a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of amounts paid (including original issue discount, if any) on a debt security, provided that:

· the Non-U.S. Holder does not own, directly or by attribution, ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Morgan Stanley stock entitled to vote;

· the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to Morgan Stanley through stock ownership;

· the Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank receiving interest under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

· the certification requirement described below has been fulfilled with respect to the beneficial owner.

Certification Requirement. The certification requirement referred to in the preceding paragraph will be fulfilled if the beneficial owner of the debt security (or a financial institution holding the debt security on behalf of the beneficial owner) furnishes to the applicable withholding agent an applicable IRS Form W-8 on which the beneficial owner certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person.

United States Federal Estate Tax. If you are an individual Non-U.S. Holder or an entity the property of which is potentially includible in such an individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), you should be aware that a debt security that is treated as debt for U.S. federal estate tax purposes generally will not be treated as U.S.-situs property subject to U.S. federal estate tax if payments on the debt security, if received by the decedent at the time of death, would not have been subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax because of the exemption from withholding of “portfolio interest.”

If you are such an individual or entity, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of investing in the debt securities.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Information returns will generally be filed with the IRS in respect of payments on the debt securities. Unless the Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person, information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with the payment of proceeds from a sale or other disposition of a debt security and the Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup

92 

withholding on payments on debt securities or on the payment of proceeds from a sale or other disposition of debt securities. Compliance with the certification procedures required to claim the exemption from withholding tax on interest (including original issue discount, if any) described above under “—Certification Requirement” will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA

Legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain non-U.S. entities (including financial intermediaries) with respect to certain financial instruments, unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements have been satisfied. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the non-U.S. entity’s jurisdiction may modify these requirements. FATCA generally applies to certain financial instruments that are treated as paying U.S.-source interest or other U.S.-source “fixed or determinable annual or periodical” income (“FDAP income”). Withholding (if applicable) applies to any payment of amounts treated as interest on the debt securities and to any payment of gross proceeds of the disposition (including upon retirement) of the debt securities. However, under proposed Treasury regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization) no withholding will apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than amounts treated as interest or other FDAP income). If withholding applies to the debt securities, the relevant issuer will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of FATCA to the debt securities.

Possible Taxable Events

A change in the methodology by which an underlying index is calculated, a change in the components of an underlying index, the designation of a successor index or other similar circumstances resulting in a material change to a basket or an underlying asset or to the method by which amounts payable are determined on the debt securities could result in a “significant modification” of the affected debt securities.

A significant modification of the debt securities would generally result in the debt securities being treated as terminated and reissued for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In that event, you might be required to recognize gain or loss (subject to the possible application of the wash sale rules) with respect to the debt securities, and your holding period for your debt securities could be affected. Moreover, depending on the facts at the time of the significant modification, the reissued debt securities could be characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a manner different from their original treatment, which could have a significant and potentially adverse effect on the timing and character of income you recognize with respect to the debt securities after the significant modification if you are a U.S. Holder, and potentially adverse withholding consequences if you are a Non-U.S. Holder.

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the consequences of a significant modification of the debt securities. Except where stated otherwise, the discussion herein assumes that there has not been a significant modification of the debt securities.

93 

Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)

Each issuer may sell the securities being offered by this prospectus in three ways: (1) through agents, (2) through underwriters and (3) through dealers. The agents, underwriters or dealers in the United States generally will include Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which is referred to as MS & Co., or other affiliates of the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable, and the agents, underwriters, or dealers outside the United States generally will include Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, which is referred to as MSI, or other affiliates of the relevant issuer and the guarantor, if applicable. Morgan Stanley may sell its shares at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices. Any at-the-market offering of common stock will be through an underwriter, or underwriters, acting as principal(s) or agent(s) for Morgan Stanley.

Each issuer may designate agents from time to time to solicit offers to purchase these securities. Such issuer will name any such agent, who may be deemed to be an underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and state any commissions it is to pay to that agent in the applicable prospectus supplement. That agent will be acting on a reasonable efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis.

If an issuer uses any underwriters to offer and sell these securities, such issuer will enter into an underwriting agreement with those underwriters when it and they determine the offering price of the securities, and such issuer will include the names of the underwriters and the terms of the transaction in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If an issuer uses a dealer to offer and sell these securities, such issuer will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal, and will name the dealer in the applicable prospectus supplement. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by that dealer at the time of resale.

Each issuer’s net proceeds will be the purchase price in the case of sales to a dealer, the public offering price less discount in the case of sales to an underwriter or the purchase price less commission in the case of sales through an agent—in each case, less other expenses attributable to issuance and distribution.

In order to facilitate the offering of these securities, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of these securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on these securities. Specifically, the underwriters may sell more securities than they are obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number or amount of securities available for purchase by the underwriters under any overallotment option. The underwriters can close out a covered short sale by exercising the overallotment option or purchasing these securities in the open market. In determining the source of securities to close out a covered short sale, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of these securities compared to the price available under the overallotment option. The underwriters may also sell these securities or any other securities in excess of the overallotment option, creating a naked short position. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of these securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, these securities or any other securities in the open market to stabilize the price of these securities or of any other securities. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters or dealer group, the agent acting on behalf of the underwriting syndicate or for itself may also reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing these securities in the offering, if the agent repurchases previously distributed securities to cover syndicate short positions or to stabilize the price of these securities. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of these securities above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of these securities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, one or more firms, including MS & Co. and MSI, which are referred to as “remarketing firms,” acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for the relevant issuer, may offer and sell these securities as part of a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with their terms. The relevant issuer will identify any remarketing firm, the terms of its agreement, if any, with it and its compensation in the applicable prospectus supplement.

94 

Remarketing firms, agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under agreements with the relevant issuer to indemnification by such issuer against some civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for such issuer in the ordinary course of business.

The relevant issuer may enter into derivative or other hedging transactions with financial institutions. These financial institutions may in turn engage in sales of common stock to hedge their position, deliver this prospectus in connection with some or all of those sales and use the shares covered by this prospectus to close out any loan of common stock or short position created in connection with those sales. Morgan Stanley may also sell shares of common stock short using this prospectus and deliver common stock covered by this prospectus to close out any loan of common stock or such short positions, or loan or pledge common stock to financial institutions that in turn may sell the shares of common stock using this prospectus. Morgan Stanley may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the common stock covered by this prospectus to support a derivative or hedging position or other obligation and, if Morgan Stanley defaults in the performance of its obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus.

If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, the relevant issuer will authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by some purchasers to purchase debt securities or warrants, purchase contracts or units, as the case may be, from such issuer at the public offering price stated in the prospectus supplement under delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. These contracts will be subject to only those conditions described in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will state the commission payable for solicitation of these offers.

Each underwriter, agent or dealer participating in the offering of the securities will represent and agree that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers the securities or possesses or distributes the applicable prospectus supplement or this prospectus and will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the securities under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes purchases, offers or sales of the securities, and the relevant issuer shall not have responsibility for the underwriter’s, agent’s or dealer’s compliance with the applicable laws and regulations or obtaining any required consent, approval or permission.

With respect to each issuance of securities, we expect to deliver the securities against payment therefor on the original issue date (settlement date) specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. As of the date of this prospectus, under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the original issue date for any issuance of securities is more than two business days after the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade securities more than two business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement. In February 2023, Rule 15c6-1 was amended to provide that trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise, effective May 28, 2024. Therefore, for any securities offered under this prospectus on or after the May 28, 2024 effective date, if the original issue date is more than one business day after the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade securities more than one business day prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The issuers estimate that they will spend approximately $24,600,000 for printing, rating agency, trustees’ and legal fees and other expenses allocable to the offering of the securities registered on this shelf registration statement.

With respect to sales of securities in any jurisdictions outside of the United States, purchasers of any such securities may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and practices of the country of purchase in addition to the issue price set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement.

Any underwriter, agent or dealer utilized in the initial offering of securities will not confirm sales to accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of its customer.

MS & Co. and MSI are wholly owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley and affiliates of MSFL. Each initial offering of securities will be conducted in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of

95 

an affiliate. Following the initial distribution of any of these securities, MS & Co., MSI and other affiliates of Morgan Stanley may offer and sell these securities (as well as securities initially offered and sold by Morgan Stanley and its predecessors under previous registrations statements) in the course of their business as broker dealers. MS & Co., MSI and other affiliates may act as principals or agents in these transactions and may make any sales at varying prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale or otherwise. MS & Co., MSI and other affiliates may use this prospectus in connection with these transactions. None of MS & Co., MSI or any other affiliate is obligated to make a market in any of these securities and may discontinue any market making activities at any time without notice.

Underwriters, agents and dealers participating in offerings of the securities that are not affiliates of Morgan Stanley or MSFL may presently or from time to time engage in business transactions with Morgan Stanley or MSFL, including extending loans to them.

Underwriting discounts and commissions on securities sold in the initial distribution will not exceed 8% of the offering proceeds.

Legal Matters

The validity of these securities will be passed upon for Morgan Stanley and MSFL by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, or other counsel who is satisfactory to MS & Co. or MSI, as the case may be, and who may be an officer of Morgan Stanley. Sidley Austin LLP will pass upon some legal matters relating to these securities for the underwriters. Sidley Austin LLP has in the past represented Morgan Stanley and continues to represent Morgan Stanley on a regular basis and in a variety of matters.

Experts

The financial statements of Morgan Stanley (the “Firm”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus by reference to the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the effectiveness of the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports. Such financial statements are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the reports of such firm given their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, June 30, 2023 and 2022, and September 30, 2023 and 2022 which is incorporated by reference herein, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of such information. However, as stated in their reports included in the Firm’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited interim financial information because those reports are not “reports” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Benefit Plan Investor Considerations

General Fiduciary Matters

Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (a “Plan”), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the Plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in these securities. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan.

Prohibited Transaction Issues

In addition, Morgan Stanley and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including MS & Co., may each be considered a “party in interest” within the meaning of ERISA, or a “disqualified person” within the meaning of the Code with respect to many Plans, as well as many individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (such accounts and plans, together with other plans, accounts and arrangements subject to Section 4975 of the Code, also “Plans”). ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit transactions between Plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if these securities are acquired by or with the assets of a Plan with respect to which MS & Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest or disqualified person, unless these securities are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules could result in excise tax and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for parties in interest or disqualified persons who engaged in the prohibited transaction, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. In addition, fiduciaries of the Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code.

The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of these securities. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of securities and the related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the Plan involved in the transaction, and provided further that the Plan pays no more, and receives no less, than “adequate consideration” in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider” exemption). There can be no assurance that any of these class or statutory exemptions will be available with respect to transactions involving these securities.

Because Morgan Stanley may be considered a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to many Plans, these securities may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” of any Plan by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or the service provider exemption, or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing these securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief.

Non-ERISA Arrangements

Governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) (collectively, “Non-ERISA Arrangements”) are not subject to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,

97 

but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or regulations (“Similar Laws”). Fiduciaries of Non-ERISA Arrangements should consult with their counsel regarding the potential consequences of an investment in these securities under any applicable Similar Laws before purchasing these securities on behalf of or with assets of any Non-ERISA Arrangement.

Representations

Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement, transferee or holder of these securities will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of these securities that either (a) it is not a Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement and is not purchasing such securities on behalf of or with the assets of any Plan or Non-ERISA Arrangement or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition of these securities will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or violate any Similar Law.

Each purchaser and holder of these securities has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of these securities do not violate the fiduciary or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any of these securities to any Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement is in no respect a representation or advice by the relevant issuer or any of its affiliates or representatives as to whether such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans, Plan Asset Entities or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement, or that such an investment is appropriate for Plans, Plan Asset Entities or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement. In this regard, neither this discussion nor anything provided in this base prospectus is or is intended to be investment advice directed at any potential Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement purchaser or at such purchasers generally and such purchasers of these securities should consult and rely on their own counsel and advisers as to whether an investment in these securities is suitable.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, provides that under certain circumstances a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at its request in such capacity in another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Article VIII of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Morgan Stanley (“Certificate of Incorporation”) and Section 6.07 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Morgan Stanley (“Bylaws”), each as amended to date, provide for the indemnification of Morgan Stanley’s directors and officers. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that any person who is a director or officer of Morgan Stanley shall be indemnified by Morgan Stanley to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by applicable law. In addition, the Bylaws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any manner in any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of Morgan Stanley or a director or elected officer of a corporation, trust, limited liability company or other non-corporate business enterprise a majority of the capital stock (other than directors’ qualifying shares) of which is owned directly or indirectly by Morgan Stanley (a “Subsidiary”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Morgan Stanley to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The right to indemnification under the Bylaws includes the right to be paid the expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt (unless Morgan Stanley upon authorization of the Board of Directors waives said requirement to the extent

100 

permitted by applicable law) of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley’s Bylaws also provide that Morgan Stanley may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid by Morgan Stanley for the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any person who is or was an employee or agent (other than a director or officer) of Morgan Stanley or a Subsidiary and to any person who is or was serving at the request of Morgan Stanley or a Subsidiary as a director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by Morgan Stanley or a Subsidiary, to the fullest extent as the Bylaws provide with respect to indemnification of, and advancement of expenses for, directors and officers of Morgan Stanley. However, Morgan Stanley’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be reduced by any amount such person collects as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Under the Bylaws, Morgan Stanley has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of Morgan Stanley or a Subsidiary, or of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss whether or not Morgan Stanley would have the power to indemnify that person against that expense, liability or loss under the provisions of applicable law.

Morgan Stanley has in effect insurance policies for general officers’ and directors’ liability insurance.

Section 18-108 of the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware, as amended (“LLC Act”), provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Article 7 of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of MSFL (“LLC Agreement”), as amended to date, provides for the indemnification of MSFL’s directors, managers and officers. In addition to certain other customary provisions, the LLC Agreement provides that a person who is or was a director, manager or officer of MSFL or any corporation, trust, limited liability company or other non-corporate business enterprise a majority of the capital stock (other than directors’ qualifying shares) of which is owned directly or indirectly by MSFL (an “MSFL Subsidiary”), or while serving as a manager or officer of MSFL, is or was serving at the request of MSFL as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise other than MSFL or an MSFL Subsidiary (“Another Enterprise”) (each, a “Mandatory Covered Person”) who is made or threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (as a witness or otherwise) in any threatened, pending, or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”) shall be entitled to indemnification from MSFL for any losses incurred by such Mandatory Covered Person by reason of the fact that such person was a Mandatory Covered Person except that no Mandatory Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any losses incurred by such Mandatory Covered Person by reason of such Mandatory Covered Person having not acted (i) in good faith or (ii) in a manner such Mandatory Covered Person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of MSFL; provided, however, that any such indemnity shall be provided out of and to the extent of MSFL assets only, and no other Mandatory Covered Person or Permissive Covered Person (as defined below) shall have any personal liability on account thereof. Expenses (including legal fees) actually and reasonably incurred by a Mandatory Covered Person in defending any Proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by MSFL prior to the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt by MSFL of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Mandatory Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Mandatory Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified therefor as authorized by Article 7 of the LLC Agreement.

The LLC Agreement also provides that MSFL may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions, if any, as MSFL deems appropriate, indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the LLC Act, an employee, agent or person who holds limited liability company interests of MSFL and is admitted to MSFL in accordance with the LLC Agreement (a “Member”) (other than a manager, director or officer) of MSFL or an MSFL Subsidiary or, while

II-2

serving as an employee, agent or Member (other than a manager, director or officer) of MSFL or an MSFL Subsidiary, is or was serving at the request of MSFL as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of Another Enterprise (each, a “Permissive Covered Person”) who is made or threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding for any losses incurred by such Permissive Covered Person by reason of the fact that such person was a Permissive Covered Person, except that no Permissive Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any losses incurred by such Permissive Covered Person by reason of such Permissive Covered Person having not acted (i) in good faith or (ii) in a manner such Permissive Covered Person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of MSFL; provided, however, that any such indemnity shall be provided out of and to the extent of MSFL assets only, and no other Mandatory Covered Person or Permissive Covered Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof. MSFL may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions, if any, as MSFL deems appropriate, pay the expenses (including legal fees) actually and reasonably incurred by any Permissive Covered Person in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by MSFL of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Permissive Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by Article 7 of the LLC Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a Mandatory Covered Person or Permissive Covered Person be entitled to indemnification and/or advancement of expense payments from other sources (including Another Enterprise or Subsidiary), indemnification or advancement of expense obligations of MSFL to such person with respect to any damages shall be reduced by any indemnification or advancement of expense payments actually received by such person from another source with respect to the same damages.

Under the LLC Agreement, MSFL may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of MSFL, or is or was serving at the request of MSFL as a manager, director, officer or employee of Another Enterprise, in each case, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not MSFL would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of Article 7 of the LLC Agreement or otherwise.

MSFL has in effect insurance policies for general officers’ and managers’ liability insurance.

Item 17. Undertakings

(1)  Each of the undersigned registrants (each, a “Registrant”) hereby undertakes:

(a)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i), (1)(a)(ii) and (1)(a)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the Registration Statement.

(b)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(d)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)   Each prospectus filed by the registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the Registration Statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the Registration Statement; and

(ii)   Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the securities in the Registration Statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the Registration

II-11

Statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(e)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of such undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, such undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)   Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of such undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)   Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant or used or referred to by such undersigned registrant;

(iii)   The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about such undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant; and

(iv)   Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by such undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(2)  Morgan Stanley Finance LLC hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(3)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(4)  Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Morgan Stanley’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (“Morgan Stanley”), confirms its agreement with you with respect to the issue and sale from time to time by Morgan Stanley of up to U.S. $708,684,724,362 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more currencies other than U.S. dollars) aggregate initial public offering price, as such amount may be increased from time to time upon due authorization by Morgan Stanley, of its Global Medium Term Notes, Series F and its Global Medium Term Notes, Series I (together, the “Morgan Stanley Notes”), its Global Units, Series F (the “Morgan Stanley Units”) and its Global Warrants, Series F (the “Morgan Stanley Warrants”), in each case subject to reduction as a result of (A) the prior sale of Program Securities (as defined below) or (B) the prior or future sale of (i) Morgan Stanley’s Global Medium-Term Notes Series G, Series H, Series J and Series K, primarily outside of the United States, (ii) Morgan Stanley’s Global Units, Series G and Series H, primarily outside of the United States and (iii) other debt securities, warrants, common stock, preferred stock, purchase contracts and units and of capital securities of certain Morgan Stanley Capital Trusts.

Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MSFL”), confirms its agreement with you with respect to the issue and sale from time to time by MSFL of its Global Medium Term Notes, Series A (the “MSFL Notes”), its Global Units, Series A (the “MSFL Units”) and its Global Warrants, Series A (the “MSFL Warrants”), in each case subject to the maximum aggregate initial public offering price described above.

Morgan Stanley Securities. The Morgan Stanley Notes may be issued as senior indebtedness (the “Morgan Stanley Series I Senior Notes”) or as subordinated indebtedness (the “Morgan Stanley Series F Subordinated Notes”) of Morgan Stanley. The Morgan Stanley Series I Senior Notes will be issued, either alone or as part of a Morgan Stanley Unit, pursuant to the provisions of a senior indenture dated as of November 1, 2004, between Morgan Stanley and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), as trustee (the “Morgan Stanley Senior Debt Trustee”) (as supplemented by the First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 4, 2007, the Second Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 4, 2008, the Third Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 10, 2008, the Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of December 1, 2008, the Fifth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of April 1, 2009, the Sixth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 16, 2011, the Seventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of November 21, 2011, the Eighth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of May 4, 2012, the Ninth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 10, 2014, the Tenth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 11, 2017 and the Eleventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 24, 2021 and as may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Morgan Stanley Senior Debt Indenture”). The Morgan Stanley Series F Subordinated Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of a subordinated indenture dated as of October 1, 2004, between Morgan Stanley and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as trustee (the “Morgan Stanley Subordinated Debt Trustee”) (as may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Morgan Stanley Subordinated Debt Indenture”). From and including January 11, 2017, Morgan Stanley Series F Senior Notes may no longer be issued. The Morgan Stanley Senior Debt Indenture and the Morgan Stanley Subordinated Debt Indenture are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a “Morgan Stanley Indenture” and collectively as the “Morgan Stanley Indentures,” and the Morgan Stanley Senior Debt Trustee and the Morgan Stanley Subordinated Debt Trustee are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a “Morgan Stanley Trustee” and collectively as the “Morgan Stanley Trustees.” Purchase contracts issued by Morgan Stanley (“Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts”) that require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when such Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts are issued are referred to as “Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts.” Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts that settle in cash (“Cash-settled Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts”) generally will be issued under a Morgan Stanley Indenture. Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts that do not settle in cash (“Physically-settled Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts”) may be issued either under the Morgan Stanley Senior Debt Indenture (such Physically-settled Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts, together with the Cash-settled Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts, the “Indenture Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts”) or under the Morgan Stanley Unit Agreement (as defined below). Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts, other than Indenture Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase Contracts (“Non-Pre-paid Morgan Stanley Purchase

2

(c)           If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy Program Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of your counsel, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the relevant Issuer will forthwith prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at the relevant Issuer’s own expense, to you and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(d)           Prior to the termination of the offering of the Program Securities pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement, neither the relevant Issuer nor the Guarantor, if applicable, will file any Time of Sale Prospectus or prospectus supplement (including any product supplement or pricing supplement) relating to the Program Securities or any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the Program Securities unless the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, has previously furnished to you a copy thereof for your review and will not file any such proposed supplement or amendment to which you reasonably object; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any of Morgan Stanley’s periodic filings with the Commission required to be filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 13(f), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, copies of which filings Morgan Stanley will cause to be delivered to you promptly after being transmitted for filing with the Commission. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, will promptly cause each supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to the Program Securities (including any product supplement or pricing supplement) to be filed with or transmitted for filing to the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The relevant Issuer will promptly advise you (i) of the filing of any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus, (ii) of the filing and effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Program Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of suspension of qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. If the Basic Prospectus is amended or supplemented as a result of the filing under the Exchange Act of any document

25 

incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, you shall not be obligated to solicit offers to purchase Program Securities so long as you are not reasonably satisfied with such document.

(e)           If, at any time when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) relating to the Program Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or made available to purchasers of the Program Securities, any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act), as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in your opinion or in the opinion of the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to comply with applicable law, the relevant Issuer will immediately notify you by telephone (with confirmation in writing) to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Program Securities and, if so notified by the relevant Issuer, you shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. If the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, the relevant Issuer shall so advise you promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and, at its expense, shall prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request. If any documents, certificates, opinions and letters furnished to you pursuant to Section ‎4(i) and Sections ‎6(a), ‎6(b) and ‎6(c) in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement are satisfactory in all respects to you, upon the filing with the Commission of such amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Registration Statement, you will resume the solicitation of offers to purchase Program Securities hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section ‎4(e), until the distribution of any Program Securities you may own as principal has been completed, if any event described above in this Section ‎4(e) occurs, the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, will, at its own expense, forthwith prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to you, will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request and shall furnish to you pursuant to Sections ‎4(i), ‎ 6(a), ‎6(b) and ‎6(c) such documents, certificates, opinions and letters as you may request in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement.

(b)            You agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each Issuer and the Guarantor, their directors and their managers, their officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls either Issuer or the Guarantor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from each Issuer and the Guarantor to you, but only with reference to information relating to you furnished to either Issuer or the Guarantor in writing by you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

(c)            In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section ‎7(a) or ‎7(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section ‎7(a), and by the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section ‎7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by

49 

the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d)            To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section ‎7(a) or ‎7(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein in connection with any offering of Program Securities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the relevant Issuer and, with respect to Program Securities of MSFL, the Guarantor on the one hand and you on the other hand from the offering of such Program Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause ‎7(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause ‎7(d)(i) but also the relative fault of the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the relevant Issuer and, with respect to Program Securities of MSFL, the Guarantor on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the offering of such Program Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Program Securities (before deducting expenses) received by such Issuer and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by you in respect thereof, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Program Securities, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor on the one hand and of you on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor or by you and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Your obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section ‎7 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Program Securities you have purchased in any offering of Program Securities hereunder, and not joint.

(e)            Each Issuer, the Guarantor and you agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section ‎7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section ‎7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified

50 

party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section ‎7(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section ‎7, you shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Program Securities referred to in Section ‎7(d) that were offered and sold to the public through you exceeds the amount of any damages that you have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section ‎7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f)            The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section ‎7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of each Issuer, the Guarantor, their officers and you contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or any such Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of you, any person controlling you or any of your affiliates or by or on behalf of the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor, if applicable, their officers or directors or managers or any person controlling such Issuer or the Guarantor and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Program Securities.

8.            Position of the Agent. In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the sale of any Program Securities by the relevant Issuer (other than Program Securities sold to you pursuant to a Notes Terms Agreement, Units Terms Agreement or Warrants Terms Agreement, as the case may be), you are acting solely as agent of the relevant Issuer and do not assume any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with any purchaser of Program Securities. You shall make reasonable efforts to assist the relevant Issuer in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Program Securities has been solicited by you and accepted by the relevant Issuer, but you shall not have any liability to the relevant Issuer in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the relevant Issuer shall default in its obligations to deliver Program Securities to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the relevant Issuer shall hold you harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability arising from or as a result of such default and shall, in particular, pay to you the commission you would have received had such sale been consummated.

9.            Offering Restrictions. You hereby represent to each Issuer and the Guarantor and agree with respect to the Program Securities that:

(a)            The Program Securities have not been and will not be qualified by a prospectus under the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada and will not be or become freely tradeable in Canada. You will not offer or sell any Program Securities, directly or indirectly, in any jurisdiction of Canada or for the account or benefit of any person in Canada except in a manner that is (a) exempt from the prospectus

51 

filing requirements and (b) exempt from, or in compliance with, the dealer registration requirements, of all applicable securities laws, regulations, rules, instruments, rulings and orders, including those applicable in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Program Securities may be offered and sold in Canada only to purchasers that (i) are purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal, (ii) are “accredited investors”, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), as applicable, and (iii) are “permitted clients”, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. In addition, in connection with any such offering and sale of Program Securities in Canada, you will file, or caused to be filed, with each applicable provincial securities regulator, within the time periods prescribed by applicable law, all reports of exempt distribution together, where applicable, with copies of any “offering memorandum” (within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation) delivered to Canadian purchasers. You will also pay all applicable fees associated with the filing of any such reports.

(b)            You have not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Program Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus in relation thereto to any retail investor in the European Economic Area. For the purposes of this provision:

(A)           a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or

(B)            a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

(C)            not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129; and

(ii)            the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Program Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Program Securities.

(c)            You have not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Program Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus in relation thereto to any retail investor in the United Kingdom.

(i)            For the purposes of this provision, the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

52 

(A)           a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (the “EUWA”); or

(B)            a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA; or

(C)            not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA; and

(ii)            the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Program Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Program Securities.

(d)           With respect to Program Securities to be offered or sold in the United Kingdom, (1) you have only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by you in connection with the issue or sale of the Program Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the relevant Issuer or, where applicable, the Guarantor, and (2) you have complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by you in relation to the Program Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

(e)           With respect to any Program Securities that have a maturity of less than one year, (x) you are a person whose ordinary activities involve you in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of your business, and (y) you have not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any Program Securities other than to persons:

(A)        whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses; or

(B)        who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses, where the issue of the Program Securities would otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the FSMA by the relevant Issuer or, where applicable, the Guarantor.

53 

(f)            The Program Securities have not been and will not be registered pursuant to Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended) (the “FIEA”) on the basis that the solicitation for subscription of the Program Securities falls within the definition of “solicitation to qualified institutional investors” as defined in Article 2, paragraph 3, item 2 (I) of the FIEA and Article 10 of the Ministerial Ordinance Concerning Definitions. Such solicitation shall be subject to the condition that qualified institutional investors (as defined under the FIEA, “QIIs”) who desire to acquire the Program Securities shall be made aware that they shall not transfer the Program Securities to anyone other than to other QIIs. Any QII who acquires the Program Securities shall be deemed to have agreed to such transfer restriction.

Accordingly, the Program Securities will not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to or for the account or benefit of any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan), or to, or for the account or benefit of, others for reoffering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the account or benefit of, any resident of Japan, except in a private placement to QIIs as described above pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEA and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan in effect at the relevant time.

(g)            The contents of the Prospectus have not been reviewed or approved by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong. The Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation to the public in Hong Kong to acquire Program Securities. No Program Securities have been offered or sold or will be offered or sold, in Hong Kong, by means of any document, other than to (i) “professional investors” as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “SFO”) and any rules made thereunder; or (ii) in other circumstances which do not result in the document being a “prospectus” as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “C(WUMP)O”) or which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the C(WUMP)O. No document, invitation or advertisement relating to the Program Securities has been issued or will be issued or has been or will be in the possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public of Hong Kong (except if permitted under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to Program Securities which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” as defined in the SFO and any rules made thereunder. The offer of the Program Securities is personal to the person to whom the Prospectus has been delivered by or on behalf of Morgan Stanley, and a subscription for Program Securities will only be accepted from such person. No person to whom a copy of the Prospectus is issued may copy, issue or distribute the Prospectus to any other person.

(h)            Neither any free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities nor the Prospectus has been registered as a prospectus under the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (the “SFA”) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Program Securities

54 

will be offered pursuant to exemptions under the SFA. Accordingly, any free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus and any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the Program Securities may not be circulated or distributed, nor may the Program Securities be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore other than (i) to an institutional investor (as defined in Section 4A of the SFA (an “Institutional Investor”)) pursuant to Section 274 of the SFA, (ii) to an accredited investor (as defined in Section 4A of the SFA (an “Accredited Investor”)) or other relevant person (as defined in Section 275(2) of the SFA (a “Relevant Person”)) and pursuant to Section 275(1) of the SFA, or to any person pursuant to an offer referred to in Section 275(1A) of the SFA, and in accordance with the conditions specified in Section 275 of the SFA and (where applicable) Regulation 3 of the Securities and Futures (Classes of Investors) Regulations 2018, or (iii) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with, the conditions of any other applicable exemption or provision of the SFA. It is a condition of the offer that where the Program Securities are subscribed for or acquired pursuant to an offer made in reliance on Section 275 of the SFA by a Relevant Person which is:

(i)       a corporation (which is not an Accredited Investor), the sole business of which is to hold investments and the entire share capital of which is owned by one or more individuals, each of whom is an Accredited Investor; or

(ii)       a trust (where the trustee is not an Accredited Investor), the sole purpose of which is to hold investments and each beneficiary of the trust is an individual who is an Accredited Investor,

securities or securities-based derivatives contracts (each as defined in Section 2(1) of the SFA) of that corporation and the beneficiaries’ rights and interest (howsoever described) in that trust shall not be transferred within six months after that corporation or that trust has subscribed for or acquired the Program Securities except:

(A) to an Institutional Investor, or an Accredited Investor or other Relevant Person, or which arises from an offer referred to in Section 275(1A) of the SFA (in the case of that corporation) or Section 276(4)(c)(ii) of the SFA (in the case of that trust);

(B) where no consideration is or will be given for the transfer;

(C) where the transfer is by operation of law;

(D) as specified in Section 276(7) of the SFA; or

(E) as specified in Regulation 37A of the Securities and Futures (Offers of Investments) (Securities and Securities-based Derivatives Contracts) Regulations 2018.

(i)  (i) Subject to sub-paragraph (ii) below:

55 

(A)           the Program Securities will not be publicly offered, directly or indirectly, in Switzerland within the meaning of the Swiss Financial Services Act (the "FinSA") and will not be admitted to trading on a trading venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in Switzerland;

(B)           neither the free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus nor any other offering or marketing material relating to any Program Securities (x) constitutes a prospectus compliant with the requirements of articles 652a and 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations (as such articles were in effect immediately prior to the entry into effect of the FinSA) in accordance with article 109 of the Swiss Financial Services Ordinance ("FinSO") or pursuant to articles 35 and 45 of the FinSA for a public offering of the Program Securities in Switzerland and no such prospectus has been or will be prepared for or in connection with the offering of the Program Securities in Switzerland or (y) has been or will be filed with or approved by a Swiss review body (Prüfstelle) pursuant to article 52 of the FinSA; and

(C)           neither the free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus nor any other offering or marketing material relating to any Program Securities may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland.

(ii)          Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (i) above, in respect of any issuance of Program Securities, Morgan Stanley or MSFL, as applicable, and you may agree that (x) such Program Securities may be publicly offered in Switzerland within the meaning of the FinSA and/or (y) an application will be made by (or on behalf of) the issuer to admit such Program Securities to trading on a trading venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in Switzerland, provided that:

(A)           the issuer is able to rely, and is relying, on an exemption from the requirement to prepare and publish a prospectus under the FinSA in connection with such public offer and/or application for admission to trading;

(B)           in the case of any such public offer, you have agreed to comply with any restrictions applicable to the offer and sale of such Program Securities that must be complied with in order for the issuer to rely on such exemption; and

(C)           the applicable pricing supplement will specify that such Program Securities may be publicly offered in Switzerland within the meaning of the FinSA and/or the trading venue in Switzerland to which an application will be made by (or on behalf of) the issuer to admit such securities to trading thereon.

56 

(iii)         That,

(A)            no key information document (Basisinformationsblatt) pursuant to article 58 (1) of the FinSA (or any equivalent document under the FinSA) has been or will be prepared in relation to any Program Securities; and

(B)            therefore, any Program Securities with a derivative character within the meaning of article 86 (2) of the FinSO may not be offered or recommended to private clients within the meaning of the FinSA in Switzerland.

(j)            The Program Securities have not been and will not be registered with the Financial Market Commission of Chile (“CMF”) under the Securities Market Law of Chile (Law 18.045, as amended). You will not offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Program Securities in Chile and you will not distribute or cause to be distributed in Chile any prospectuses or other offering materials relating to the Program Securities except to “eligible investors” and subject to the provisions of Norma de Carácter General No. 336 (“NCG 336”) of June 27, 2012 of the CMF.

On or before starting any offer of Program Securities in Chile, you or any person making the offer shall include in all offering materials the following legend, in English and in Spanish:

“IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS RESIDENT IN CHILE: (1) The offering of the securities will commence in Chile on [dd/mm/yyyy]; (2) the offering will be subject to Norma de Carácter General N° 336 of the CMF; (3) the offered securities are not and will not be registered in the Securities Registry (Registro de Valores) or in the Foreign Securities Registry (Registro de Valores Extranjeros) of the CMF and will therefore not be subject to the supervision of the CMF; (4) the offered securities are not registered in Chile and the issuer thereof is not required to disclose information to the public in Chile about its securities; and (5) the offered securities cannot and will not be publicly offered in Chile unless and until the offered securities are registered in the corresponding securities registry of the CMF.

The issuance of the Program Securities has not been nor will the Program Securities be registered with the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários), or the CVM. Any public offering or distribution, as defined under Brazilian laws and regulations, of the Program Securities in Brazil is not permitted without such registration or an express exemption or registration with the CVM pursuant to Brazilian laws and regulations. Documents relating to the offering of the Program Securities, as well as information contained therein, may not be supplied to the public in Brazil (as the offering of the Program Securities is not a public offering of securities in Brazil), nor be used in connection with any offer for subscription or sale of the Program Securities to the public in Brazil.

(l)            The Program Securities have not been and will not be registered with the National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores) maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores; the “CNBV”) and, therefore, may not be offered or sold publicly in Mexico, except that the Program Securities may be sold to Mexican institutional and accredited investors solely pursuant to the private placement exemption set forth in the Mexican Securities Market Law (Ley del Mercado de Valores). This distribution agreement is solely our responsibility and has not been reviewed or authorized by the CNBV. The acquisition of the Program Securities by an investor who is a resident of Mexico will be made under its own responsibility.

(m)           Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section ‎9, if any Program Securities are to be offered outside the United States, you will not purchase, deliver, offer or sell any such Program Securities, or possess or distribute offering material in relation to such Program Securities, in any jurisdiction if such purchase, delivery, offer or sale or the possession or distribution of such offering material would not be in compliance with any applicable law or regulation or if any consent, approval or permission is needed for such purchase, delivery, offer or sale or the possession or distribution by you or for or on behalf of either Issuer or the Guarantor unless such consent, approval or permission has been previously obtained. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section ‎9 and subject to the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantor set forth in Section ‎4 of this Agreement, neither Issuer nor the Guarantor shall have any responsibility for, and you will obtain, any consent, approval or permission required by you for the subscription, offer, sale or delivery by you of Program Securities, or the possession or distribution of any offering materials, under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which you are subject or in or from which you make any subscription, offer, sale or delivery.

(b)            In the event that any party that is a Covered Entity or any BHC Act Affiliate of such party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement or any Terms Agreement that may be exercised against such party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and any Terms Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. The requirements of this Section ‎10 apply notwithstanding Section ‎11.

11. Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings.

(b)            After a BHC Act Affiliate of a party that is a Covered Entity has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Entity with respect to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement with you with respect to the issue and sale from time to time by the Company primarily outside the United States of up to U.S. $708,684,724,362 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more currencies other than U.S. dollars) aggregate initial public offering price, as such amount may be increased from time to time upon due authorization by the Company, of its Global Medium-Term Notes, Series J and Series K, each due more than nine months from the date of issue (the “Notes” and together with any other securities that may be offered by post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement referred to below, the “Program Securities”), in each case subject to reduction as a result of (A) the prior sale of the Company’s Notes and (B) the prior or future sale of (i) the Company’s Global Medium-Term Notes Series A, Series F and Series I, to be sold primarily inside the United States, (ii) Global Units, Series F, to be sold primarily inside the United States, (iii) Global Warrants, Series F, to be sold primarily inside the United States, (iv) certain of the Company’s other debt securities, warrants, common stock, preferred stock, purchase contracts and units and of capital securities of certain Morgan Stanley Capital Trusts and (v) the prior or future sale of certain securities of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC. Application may, in certain circumstances described in the Prospectus and Time of Sale Prospectus referred to below, be made for admission of particular Series J Notes to listing, trading and/or quotation by a listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system. The Series K Notes will not be listed on any stock exchange.

The Notes will be issued as senior indebtedness of the Company. The Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of a senior indenture dated as of November 1, 2004, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), as trustee (the “Trustee”) (as supplemented by the First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 4, 2007, the Second Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 4, 2008, the Third Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 10, 2008, the Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of December 1, 2008, the Fifth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of April 1, 2009, the Sixth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 16, 2011, the Seventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as

Purchase contracts (“Purchase Contracts”) that require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when such Purchase Contracts are issued are referred to as “Pre-paid Purchase Contracts.” Pre-paid Purchase Contracts that settle in cash (“Cash-settled Pre-paid Purchase Contracts”) generally will be issued under the Indenture. Pre-paid Purchase Contracts that do not settle in cash (“Physically-settled Pre-paid Purchase Contracts”) may be issued under the Indenture (such Physically-settled Pre-paid Purchase Contracts, together with the Cash-settled Pre-paid Purchase Contracts, the “Indenture Pre-paid Purchase Contracts”).

The Notes will have the maturities, interest rates, redemption provisions, if any, and other terms as set forth in the Prospectus referred to below and any Term Sheets (as defined in Section 3(m)). The Purchase Contracts will have the closing dates, purchase or sale prices and other terms as set forth in the Prospectus and any Term Sheets. Program Securities other than Notes will have the terms as set forth in the Prospectus and any Term Sheets.

The Company has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, at its principal office in London, as principal paying agent for the Notes (in such capacity, the “Principal Paying Agent”).

The Notes will be issued in registered form without coupons (the “Registered Notes”). Registered Notes in global form (“Global Registered Notes”) will be issued either under the Classic Safekeeping Structure (“CSS”) or under the New Safekeeping Structure (“NSS”). Global Registered Notes issued under the CSS will be registered in the name of a nominee of a common depositary located outside the United States for Euroclear Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System (the “Euroclear Operator”), Clearstream Banking S.A. (“Clearstream”), or any other relevant clearing system. Global Registered Notes issued under the NSS will be registered in the name of a nominee of a common safekeeper (“CSK”) located outside the United States for the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream.

The Company hereby appoints you as its exclusive agent for the purpose of soliciting and receiving offers to purchase Program Securities from the Company by others and, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, you agree to use reasonable efforts to solicit and receive offers to purchase Program Securities upon terms acceptable to the Company at such times and in such amounts as the Company shall from time to time specify. In addition, you may also purchase Program Securities as principal pursuant to the terms of a terms agreement relating to such sale (a “Notes Terms Agreement”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b).

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement, including a prospectus, relating to the Program Securities. Such registration statement as amended at the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), including the documents incorporated therein by reference and the information (if any)

The term “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The term “Time of Sale” in respect of Program Securities means any time at or prior to the confirmation of any sales of any such Program Security. The term “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the Basic Prospectus, each preliminary prospectus and/or Term Sheet, if any, and each free writing prospectus, if any, that has been prepared by or on behalf of the Company relating to such Program Securities as of such Time of Sale. The term “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Basic Prospectus,” “Prospectus,” “preliminary prospectus” and “Time of Sale Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein. The terms “supplement,” “amendment” and “amend” as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

2.        Solicitations as Agent; Purchases as Principal.

(a)       Solicitations as Agent. In connection with your actions as agent hereunder, you agree to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase Program Securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented.

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct you to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of offers to purchase Program Securities. Upon receipt of at least one business day’s prior notice from the Company, you will forthwith suspend solicitations of offers to purchase Program Securities from the Company until such time as the Company has advised you that such solicitation may be resumed. While such solicitation is suspended, the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificates, opinions or letters in accordance with Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c); provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented during the period of suspension (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for (i) a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes or (ii) a change you deem to be immaterial), you shall not be required to resume soliciting offers to purchase Program Securities until the Company has delivered such certificates, opinions and letters as you may request.

The Company agrees to pay to you, as consideration for the sale of each Program Security resulting from a solicitation made or an offer to purchase received by you, a commission in the form of a discount from the purchase price of such Program Security. In the case of a Note, such discount shall be equal to between 0.125% and 0.750% (depending upon such Note’s maturity) of the principal amount of such Note (provided that the commission for Notes having a maturity of 30 years or more will be negotiated) or such other discount as may be specified in the prospectus supplement relating to such Note.

You shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Program Securities received by you as agent that in your judgment should be considered by the Company. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Program Securities and may reject any offer in whole or in part. You shall have the right to reject any offer to purchase Program Securities that you consider to be unacceptable, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of your agreements contained herein. The procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Program Securities sold by you as agent and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures (as hereinafter defined).

(b)       Purchases as Principal. Each sale of Program Securities to you as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with each such sale, the Company will enter into a Notes Terms Agreement that will provide for the sale of such Program Securities to and the purchase thereof by you. Each Notes Terms Agreement will take the form of either (i) a written agreement between you and the Company, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Written Notes Terms Agreement”), or (ii) an oral agreement between you and the Company confirmed in writing by you to the Company.

10 

Your commitment to purchase Program Securities as principal pursuant to a Notes Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Notes Terms Agreement shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be purchased by you pursuant thereto, the maturity date of such Notes, the price to be paid to the Company for such Notes, the interest rate and interest rate formula, if any, applicable to such Notes and any other terms of such Notes. Each such Notes Terms Agreement may also specify any requirements for officers’ certificates, opinions of counsel and letters from the independent auditors of the Company pursuant to Section 4. A Notes Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes by you.

Each Notes Terms Agreement shall specify the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes. Unless otherwise specified in a Notes Terms Agreement, the procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes purchased by you as principal and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures. Each date of delivery of and payment for Program Securities to be purchased by you as principal pursuant to a Notes Terms Agreement is referred to herein as a “Settlement Date.”

Unless otherwise specified in a Notes Terms Agreement, if you are purchasing Program Securities as principal, you may resell such Program Securities to other dealers. Any such sales may be at a discount, which shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus relating to such Notes.

(c)       Administrative Procedures. You and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed in the Administrative Procedures (attached hereto as Exhibit B) (the “Administrative Procedures”), as amended from time to time. The Administrative Procedures may be amended only by written agreement of the Company and you.

(d)       Delivery. The documents required to be delivered by Section 4 as a condition precedent to your obligation to begin soliciting offers to purchase Program Securities as agent of the Company shall be delivered at the office of Sidley Austin llp, your counsel, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date hereof, or at such other time and/or place as you and the Company may agree upon in writing, but in no event later than the day prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which you begin soliciting offers to purchase Program Securities and (ii) the first date on which the Company accepts any offer by you to purchase Program Securities as principal. The date of delivery of such documents is referred to herein as the “Commencement Date.”

(e)       Free Writing Prospectuses. In connection with your actions hereunder, you covenant that, unless you obtain the prior consent of the Company, you will not make any offer relating to the Program Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, or that would otherwise constitute a free writing prospectus required to be filed with the Commission.

11 

3. Agreements. The Company agrees with you that:

(a)       The Company will furnish to you a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus to be prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company relating to the offering of the Program Securities and the Company will not use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which you reasonably object.

(b)       The Company will not take any action that would result in you or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by you or on your behalf that you otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

(c)       If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy Program Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of your counsel, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the Company will forthwith prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at the Company’s own expense, to you and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(d)       Prior to the termination of the offering of the Program Securities pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any Notes Terms Agreement, the Company will not file any Time of Sale Prospectus or prospectus supplement (including any product supplement or pricing supplement) relating to the Program Securities or any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the Program Securities unless the Company has previously furnished to you a copy thereof for your review and will not file any such proposed supplement or amendment to which you reasonably object; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any of the Company’s periodic filings with the Commission required to be filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 13(f), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, copies of which filings the Company will cause to be delivered to you promptly after being transmitted for filing with the Commission. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will promptly cause each supplement to the Basic Prospectus relating to the Program Securities (including any product supplement or pricing supplement) to be filed with or transmitted for filing to the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The Company will promptly advise you (i) of the filing of any

12 

amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus, (ii) of the filing and effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Program Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and (vi) of the issuance by any non-United States regulatory authority of any request for information relating to the Program Securities or suspension of the listing, trading and/or quotation of any Program Securities then admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of suspension of qualification or listing and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. If the Basic Prospectus is amended or supplemented as a result of the filing under the Exchange Act of any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, you shall not be obligated to solicit offers to purchase Program Securities so long as you are not reasonably satisfied with such document.

(e)       If, at any time when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) relating to the Program Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or made available to purchasers of the Program Securities, any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act), as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in your opinion or in the opinion of the Company, it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to comply with applicable law, the Company will immediately notify you by telephone (with confirmation in writing) to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Program Securities and, if so notified by the Company, you shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. If the Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, it shall so advise you promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and, at its expense, shall prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request. If any documents, certificates, opinions and letters furnished to you pursuant to Sections 3(i), 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement are satisfactory in all respects to you, upon the filing with the Commission of such amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or upon the

13 

effectiveness of an amendment to the Registration Statement, you will resume the solicitation of offers to purchase Program Securities hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3(e), until the distribution of any Program Securities you may own as principal has been completed, if any event described above in this Section 3(e) occurs, the Company will, at its own expense, forthwith prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to you, will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request and shall furnish to you pursuant to Sections 3(h), 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) such documents, certificates, opinions and letters as you may request in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement.

(f)       The Company will make generally available to its security holders and to you as soon as practicable earning statements that satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months beginning, in each case, not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158 under the Securities Act) of the Registration Statement with respect to each sale of Program Securities.

(g)       The Company will furnish in New York City, without charge, (i) to you, a signed copy of the Registration Statement, including exhibits and all amendments thereto, and as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as you may reasonably request and (ii) to the extent that you purchase Program Securities pursuant to a Notes Terms Agreement or solicit an offer to purchase Program Securities that is accepted by the Company, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day next succeeding the date of such Notes Terms Agreement or the acceptance of such offer, as many copies of the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented (including the Time of Sale Prospectus and the prospectus supplement relating to the Program Securities to be purchased pursuant to such Notes Terms Agreement or accepted offer), as you may reasonably request.

(h)       During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall furnish to you such relevant documents and certificates of officers of the Company relating to the business, operations and affairs of the Company, the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto, any Time of Sale Prospectus, the Indenture, the ICSD Agreement, the Notes, the Purchase Contracts, this Agreement, the Administrative Procedures, any Notes Terms Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder or thereunder as you may from time to time reasonably request.

(i)       The Company shall notify you promptly in writing of any downgrading, or of its receipt of any notice of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the

14 

rating accorded the Company or any of the securities of the Company or in the rating outlook for the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, or Rating and Investment Information, Inc.

(j)       Whether or not any sale of Program Securities is consummated or this Agreement or any Notes Terms Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any Notes Terms Agreement, including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and the Company’s accountants, of the Trustees and their counsel and of the Principal Paying Agent and its counsel and any paying agents for the Program Securities appointed by the Company in connection with the registration and delivery of the Program Securities under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including the filing fees payable to the Commission relating to the Securities (within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1), if applicable), all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to you and the dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Program Securities to you, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (iii) the fees and expenses incurred with respect to the admission of any Series J Notes to listing, trading and/or quotation by any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system if so specified in the Prospectus and Time of Sale Prospectus or if required by Section 3(o), (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of your counsel, if any, incurred in connection with any review and qualification of the offering of the Program Securities by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., (v) any fees charged by the rating agencies for the rating of the Program Securities, (vi) all fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement on Form 8-A relating to any Program Securities and all costs and expenses incident to listing the Program Securities on any national securities exchanges and foreign stock exchanges, (vii) the cost of the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Program Securities, (viii) the costs and charges of any trustee, transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (ix) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Program Securities, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any electronic road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show, (x) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement, the Indenture and any Notes Terms Agreement, (xi) the fees and disbursements of your counsel incurred in connection with

15 

the offering and sale of the Program Securities, including any opinions to be rendered by such counsel hereunder, (xii) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by you (provided that any advertising expenses incurred by you shall have been approved by the Company) and (xiii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section 3. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section 3 and Section 6 entitled “Indemnity and Contribution,” you will pay all of your costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of your counsel, transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Program Securities by you and any advertising expenses connected with any offers you may make.

(k)      If the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement occurs during an offering of Program Securities before all of the Program Securities then being offered have been sold by you, prior to the third anniversary the Company will file a new shelf registration statement and take any other action necessary to permit the public offering of the Program Securities to continue without interruption; references herein to the Registration Statement shall include the new registration statement declared effective by the Commission or that automatically becomes effective upon filing with the Commission in accordance with Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act.

(l)       During the period beginning on the date of any Notes Terms Agreement and continuing to and including the Settlement Date with respect to such Notes Terms Agreement, the Company will not, without your prior consent, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Notes set forth in such Notes Terms Agreement (other than (A) the Notes that are to be sold pursuant to such Notes Terms Agreement, (B) Notes previously agreed to be sold by the Company and (C) commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business), except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Notes Terms Agreement.

(m)      Unless otherwise notified by you, the Company will prepare a final term sheet (a “Term Sheet”) relating to each offering of the Program Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Program Securities or the offering, in a form consented to by you, and will file such Term Sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Program Securities.

(n)       The Company will indemnify and hold you harmless against any documentary, stamp or similar transfer or issue tax, including any interest and penalties, on the issue of the Program Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Written Notes Terms Agreement, that are or may be required to be paid under the laws of the United Kingdom, the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

16 

(o)       In connection with any application to admit any Series J Notes to listing, trading and/or quotation by a listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system (as specified in the Prospectus and Time of Sale Prospectus), the Company will furnish from time to time any and all documents, instruments, information and undertakings and publish all advertisements or other material that may be necessary in order to effect such listing, trading and/or quotation and will maintain such listing and trading until none of the relevant Series J Notes is outstanding or until such time as payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the relevant Series J Notes has been duly provided for, whichever is earlier; provided, however, that if the Company can no longer reasonably maintain such listing, trading and/or quotation, including, but not limited to, in circumstances where obtaining or the maintenance thereof would require preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting standards other than U.S. GAAP or where the maintenance of such listing is, in the Company’s opinion, burdensome, it will consider obtaining and maintaining the quotation for, or listing and trading of, the relevant Series J Notes by such other listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system as you shall reasonably request. However, if such an alternative listing is not available to the Company or is, in the Company’s opinion, burdensome, an alternative listing for such Series J Notes need not be considered by the Company. In addition, for so long as any Series J Notes are admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by a listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system, and such listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system so requires, the Company will maintain in such place as the relevant Series J Notes are listed, a paying agent in respect of the Series J Notes, as required.

(p)       In respect of any Program Securities which have a maturity of less than one year where either (a) the issue proceeds of such Program Securities are received by the Company in the United Kingdom or (b) the activity of issuing such Program Securities is carried on from an establishment maintained by the Company in the United Kingdom, the Company will issue such Program Securities only if the following conditions apply (or the Program Securities can otherwise be issued without contravention of Section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the “FSMA”)): (i) you represent, warrant and agree in the terms relating to the Program Securities set out in Section 7(d); and (ii) the redemption value of each such Program Security is not less than ₤100,000 (or an amount of equivalent value denominated wholly or partly in a currency other than sterling), and no part of any Program Security may be transferred unless the redemption value of that part is not less than ₤100,000 (or such an equivalent amount).

4.       Conditions of the Obligations of the Agent. Your obligation to solicit offers to purchase Program Securities as agent of the Company, your obligation to purchase Program Securities as principal pursuant to any Notes Terms Agreement and the obligation of any other purchaser to purchase Program Securities will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made in each certificate furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof and to the performance and observance by the Company of all covenants and agreements herein

(ii)       there shall not have occurred such a change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would in your view be likely to prejudice materially the success of the offering and distribution of the Program Securities or dealings in the Program Securities in the secondary market; and

   (H)       the execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement, the Notes, the Indenture Pre-paid Purchase Contracts, the Indenture and any applicable Notes Terms Agreement (each, a “Document” and collectively, the “Documents”) will not contravene any provision of applicable law or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is material to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any U.S. governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries;

   (I)       no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency under the laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in such counsel’s experience is normally applicable in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Documents, or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Documents, except such as may be required under federal or state securities or blue sky laws as to which such counsel need not express an opinion; provided, however, that such counsel need not express an opinion on whether the purchase of the Program Securities constitutes a “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

   (J)       the statements relating to legal matters, documents or proceedings included (1) in the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and the Time of Sale Prospectus, if applicable, under the captions “Description of Notes” (in the applicable prospectus supplement), “Description of Debt Securities” (in the Basic Prospectus), “Plan of

Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” (in the applicable prospectus supplement and the Basic Prospectus) and “Description of Purchase Contracts” (in the Basic Prospectus), (2) in the Registration Statement, as then amended or supplemented, under Item 15, (3) in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of Part I of the most recent annual report on Form 10-K incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Prospectus, if applicable, and (4) in “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” of Part II of the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, if any, filed since such annual report and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Prospectus, if applicable, in each case fairly summarize in all material respects such matters, documents or proceedings;

   (K)       after due inquiry, such counsel does not know of any legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to which the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the properties of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries is subject that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and are not so described or of any U.S. federal or state statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents governed by U.S. federal or state law that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, or to be filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to such Registration Statement that are not described, filed or incorporated by reference as required;

   (L)       the Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Program Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

   (M)       the Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge and information, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission; and

   (N)       (1) in the opinion of such counsel (A) each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and the Time of Sale Prospectus, if applicable (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), appears on its face to be appropriately responsive as of its filing date in all material respects to the requirements of the

22 

Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and (B) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if applicable (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein and except for those parts of the Registration Statement that constitute the Forms T-1, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (2) nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that causes such counsel to believe that, insofar as relevant to the offering of the Program Securities, (A) the Registration Statement (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein and except for those parts of the Registration Statement that constitute Forms T-1, as to which such counsel need not express any belief) as of the date of such opinion or the Time of Sale, as applicable, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) the Time of Sale Prospectus (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any belief), if any, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, as of the Time of Sale contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (C) the Prospectus (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any belief), as amended or supplemented, if applicable, as of the date of such opinion or the Time of Sale, as applicable, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that in the case of an opinion delivered on the Commencement Date or pursuant to Section 5(b), the opinion and belief set forth in clauses 1(B) (with respect to the Prospectus only) and 2(C) above shall be deemed not to cover information concerning an offering of particular Notes to the extent such information will be set forth in a supplement to the Basic Prospectus.

(ii)       The opinion, dated as of such date, of Sidley Austin llp, your special counsel, covering the matters in subparagraphs (E), (F), (G) and (J) (with respect to statements in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Prospectus, if applicable, as then amended or supplemented, under the captions “Description of Notes” (in the applicable prospectus supplement), “Description of Debt Securities” (in the Basic Prospectus), “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)”

23 

(in the applicable prospectus supplement and in the Basic Prospectus) and “Description of Purchase Contracts” (in the Basic Prospectus)) and clauses 4(b)(i)(N)(2)(A), 4(b)(i)(N)(2)(B) and 4(b)(i)(N)(2)(C) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinions described in Sections 4(b)(i)(G) (except as to due authorization of the Notes and Indenture Pre-paid Purchase Contracts), 4(b)(i)(H), 4(b)(i)(I), 4(b)(i)(J)(1) and 4(b)(i)(N)(2)(A), 4(b)(i)(N)(2)(B) and 4(b)(i)(N)(2)(C), when contained in an opinion delivered on the Commencement Date or pursuant to Section 5(b), shall be deemed not to address the application of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or the rules, regulations or interpretations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to Program Securities the payments of principal or interest on which, or any other payments with respect to which, will be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodities, securities of entities affiliated or unaffiliated with the Company, baskets of such securities, equity indices or other factors.

With respect to Section 4(b)(i)(N), if such opinion is given by counsel who is also an officer of the Company, such counsel may state that his or her opinions and beliefs are based upon his or her participation, or the participation of someone under his or her supervision, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification, except as specified. With respect to Section 4(b)(i)(N), Sidley Austin llp and, if Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is giving such opinion, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP may state that their opinions and beliefs are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the preliminary prospectus supplement, if any, any identified free writing prospectuses (but not including documents incorporated therein by reference) and upon review and discussion of the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (including documents incorporated therein by reference), but are without independent check or verification, except as specified.

(iii)       The opinion, dated as of such date, of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, special counsel to the Company, to the effect that the statements set forth under the caption “United States Federal Taxation” in the Basic Prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, insofar as such statements relate to statements of law or legal conclusions under the laws of the United States or matters of United States law, fairly and accurately summarize the matters referred to therein.

The opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP described in Section 4(b)(iii) and in Section 4(b)(i), if such opinion is given by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, shall be rendered to you at the request of the Company and shall so state therein.

(c)       On the Commencement Date and, if called for by any Notes Terms Agreement, on the corresponding Settlement Date, you shall have received a certificate, dated the Commencement Date or such Settlement Date, as the case may be, and signed

24 

by an officer of the Company to the effect set forth in Section 4(a)(iii) and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of such date and that the Company has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied on or before such date.

The officer signing and delivering such certificate may rely upon the best of his knowledge as to proceedings threatened.

(d)       On the Commencement Date and, if called for by any Notes Terms Agreement, on the corresponding Settlement Date, the Company’s public accountants shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated as of the Commencement Date or such Settlement Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to you containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented; provided that each letter so furnished shall use a “cut-off date” no more than three business days prior to the date of such letter.

(e)       On the Commencement Date and on each Settlement Date, the Company shall have furnished to you such appropriate further information, certificates and documents as you may reasonably request.

5.       Additional Agreements of the Company.  (a)  Each time the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for (i) in the case of Notes, a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes, or (ii) a change you deem to be immaterial), the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered forthwith to you a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form reasonably satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 4(c) relating to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate.

(b)       Each time the Company furnishes a certificate pursuant to Section 5(a) (other than any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus caused by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K unless you shall reasonably request based on disclosure included or omitted from such Report), the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to you a written opinion of counsel for the Company. Any such opinion shall be dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, shall be in a form satisfactory to you and shall be of the same tenor as the opinions referred to in Section 4(b), but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion. In lieu of such opinion, counsel last furnishing such an opinion to you may furnish to you a letter to the effect that you may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it

25 

were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such last opinion will be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter).

(c)       Each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented to set forth amended or supplemental financial information or such amended or supplemental information is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, the Company shall cause its independent auditors forthwith to furnish you with a letter, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 4(d), with regard to the amended or supplemental financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter; provided that each letter so furnished shall use a “cut-off date” no more than three business days prior to the date of such letter.

6.       Indemnity and Contribution.  (a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you and each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each of your affiliates within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to you furnished to the Company in writing by you expressly for use therein.

(b)       You agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to you, but only with reference to information relating to you furnished to the Company in writing by you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

26 

(c)       In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section 6(a) or 6(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d)       To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein in connection with any offering of Program Securities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such

27 

indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand from the offering of such Program Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 6(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 6(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the offering of such Program Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Program Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by you in respect thereof, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Program Securities, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of you on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by you and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Your obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Program Securities you have purchased in any offering of Program Securities hereunder, and not joint.

(e)       The Company and you agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 6(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, you shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Program Securities referred to in Section 6(d) that were offered and sold to the public through you exceeds the amount of any damages that you have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f)       The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, its officers and you contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes Terms Agreement shall

28 

remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or any such Notes Terms Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of you or any person controlling you, any of your affiliates or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Program Securities.

7.       Offering Restrictions. You hereby represent to the Company and agree with respect to the Program Securities that:

(a)       The Program Securities have not been and will not be qualified by a prospectus under the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada and will not be or become freely tradeable in Canada.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Program Securities may be offered and sold in Canada only to purchasers that (i) are purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal, (ii) are “accredited investors”, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), as applicable, and (iii) are “permitted clients”, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. In addition, in connection with any such offering and sale of Program Securities in Canada, you will file, or caused to be filed, with each applicable provincial securities regulator, within the time periods prescribed by applicable law, all reports of exempt distribution together, where applicable, with copies of any “offering memorandum” (within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation) delivered to Canadian purchasers. You will also pay all applicable fees associated with the filing of any such reports.

(b)       You have not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Program Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus in relation thereto to any retail investor in the European Economic Area. For the purposes of this provision:

(C)       not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129; as amended, and

   (B)       a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA; or

   (C)       not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA; and

(iii)     the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Program Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Program Securities.

(d)       With respect to Program Securities to be offered or sold in the United Kingdom, (1) you have only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by you in connection with the issue or sale of the Program Securities in circumstances in which

30 

Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company, and (2) you have complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by you in relation to the Program Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

(i)       whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses; or

(ii)       who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses, where the issue of the Program Securities would otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the FSMA by the Company.

(f)       Solely for the purposes of the requirements of 3.2.7R of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules”) regarding the mutual responsibilities of manufacturers under the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules:

(i)        you acknowledge to the Company that you understand the responsibilities conferred upon you under the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules relating to each of the product approval process, the target market and the proposed distribution channels as applying to the Program Securities and the related information set out in the Time of Sale Prospectus and any announcements in connection with the Program Securities; and

(ii)       the Company notes the application of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules and acknowledges the target market and distribution channels identified as applying to the Program Securities by you and the related information set out in the Time of Sale Prospectus and any announcements in connection with the Program Securities.

(g)       The Program Securities have not been and will not be registered pursuant to Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended) (the “FIEA”) on the basis that the solicitation for subscription of the Program Securities falls within the definition of “solicitation to qualified institutional investors” as defined in Article 2, paragraph 3, item 2 (I) of the FIEA and Article 10 of the Ministerial Ordinance Concerning Definitions. Such solicitation shall be subject to the condition that qualified institutional investors (as defined under the FIEA, “QIIs”) who desire to acquire the Program Securities shall be

31 

made aware that they shall not transfer the Program Securities to anyone other than to other QIIs. Any QII who acquires the Program Securities shall be deemed to have agreed to such transfer restriction.

Accordingly, the Program Securities will not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to or for the account or benefit of any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan), or to, or for the account or benefit of, others for reoffering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the account or benefit of, any resident of Japan, except in a private placement to QIIs as described above pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEA and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan in effect at the relevant time.

(h)        The contents of the Prospectus have not been reviewed or approved by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong. The Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation to the public in Hong Kong to acquire Program Securities. No Program Securities have been offered or sold or will be offered or sold, in Hong Kong, by means of any document, other than (i) to “professional investors” as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “SFO”) and any rules made thereunder; or (ii) in other circumstances which do not result in the document being a “prospectus” as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “C(WUMP)O”) or which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the C(WUMP)O. No document, invitation or advertisement relating to the Program Securities has been or will be issued or has been or will be in the possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public of Hong Kong (except if permitted under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to Program Securities which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” as defined in the SFO and any rules made thereunder. The offer of the Program Securities is personal to the person to whom the Prospectus has been delivered by or on behalf of the Company, and a subscription for Program Securities will only be accepted from such person. No person to whom a copy of the Prospectus is issued may copy, issue or distribute the Prospectus to any other person.

(i)       Neither any free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities nor the Prospectus has been registered as a prospectus under the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (the “SFA”) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Program Securities will be offered pursuant to exemptions under the SFA. Accordingly, any free writing prospectus relating to the Program Securities, the Prospectus and any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the Program Securities may not be circulated or distributed, nor may the Program Securities be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or

Explained below are the administrative procedures and specific terms of the offering of (i) Global Medium Term Notes, Series J (the “Series J Notes”), (ii) Global Medium Term Notes, Series K (the “Series K Notes” and, together with the Series J Notes, the “Notes”), on a continuous basis by Morgan Stanley (the “Company”) pursuant to the Euro Distribution Agreement dated November 16, 2023 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Distribution Agreement”) between the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (the “Agent”). The Notes will be issued in registered form without coupons (“Registered Notes”). Notes issued in global registered form (“Global Registered Notes”) will be issued either under the Classic Safekeeping Structure (“CSS”) or under the New Safekeeping Structure (“NSS”).

The Notes will be issued as senior indebtedness of the Company. The Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of a senior indenture dated as of November 1, 2004, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), as trustee (the “Trustee”) (as supplemented by the First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 4, 2007, the Second Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 4, 2008, the Third Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 10, 2008, the Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of December 1, 2008, the Fifth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of April 1, 2009, the Sixth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 16, 2011, the Seventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of November 21, 2011, the Eighth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of May 4, 2012, the Ninth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 10, 2014, the Tenth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 11, 2017 and the Eleventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 24, 2021 and as may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”).

In the Distribution Agreement, the Agent has agreed to use reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of the Notes, and the administrative procedures explained below will govern the issuance and settlement of any Notes sold through the Agent, as agent of the Company. The Agent, as principal, may also purchase Notes for its own account, and the Company and the Agent will enter into a terms agreement (a “Notes Terms Agreement”), as contemplated by the Distribution Agreement. The administrative procedures explained below will govern the issuance and settlement of any Notes purchased by the Agent, as principal, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Notes Terms Agreement.

Application may be made for Series J Notes, in certain circumstances described in the Prospectus and Time of Sale Prospectus (as such terms are defined in the Distribution Agreement), to be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by a listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system. Series K Notes will not be listed on any stock exchange. The Company has appointed Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc as the authorized adviser for purposes of applications to admit Series J Notes, if it is determined that Series J Notes are to be so admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system.

Global Registered Notes issued under the CSS will be registered in the name of a nominee of a common depositary located outside the United States (a “Depositary”) for Euroclear Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System (the “Euroclear Operator”), Clearstream Banking S.A. (“Clearstream”), and/or any other relevant clearing system (including Euroclear France). Global Registered Notes issued under the NSS will be registered in the name of a nominee of a common safekeeper (a “CSK”) located outside the United States for the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream.

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Indenture, the Notes, the Purchase Contracts or any prospectus supplement relating to the Notes shall be used herein as therein defined.

It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Manager authorized to appoint counsel under this Section 9 as set forth in Schedule I hereto, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of

22 

counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d)  To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) or 9(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 9(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 9(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e)  The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose)

23 

or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f)  The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, the officers or directors of the Company or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

10.  Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a)  In the event that any party that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such party of this Agreement and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)  In the event that any party that is a Covered Entity or any BHC Act Affiliate of such party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. The requirements of this Section 10 apply notwithstanding the following Section 11.

24 

11.  Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings.

(a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 10, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a party that is a Covered Entity with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Act Affiliate of such party becoming subject to Insolvency Proceedings, except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

(b)  After a BHC Act Affiliate of a party that is a Covered Entity has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Entity with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

12.  Definitions.

(a)  “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841 (k)) of such party.

(b)  “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i)   a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)  a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(c)  “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1 as applicable.

(d)  “Insolvency Proceeding” means a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding.

(e)  “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

25 

13.  Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company if, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade [or other relevant exchanges], (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States [or other relevant jurisdiction] shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State [or relevant foreign country¹⁴] authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets (or, if the Securities are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, any change in currency exchange rates or controls) or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated, the provisions of Section 7(i), Section 9 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 9(f)), Section 10, Section 11, Section 12, Section 17 and Section 19 shall survive.

14.  Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters’ Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Underwriters’ Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Underwriters’ Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Underwriters’ Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Underwriters’ Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to

¹⁴ Include if transaction involves offshore settlement. 

26 

this Section 14 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Underwriters’ Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters’ Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Underwriters’ Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Underwriters’ Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Underwriters’ Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.¹⁵

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

15.  Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(b)  The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by

¹⁵ This section will require modification for offerings of Warrants or Units.  

27 

applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

16.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. The words “execution,” signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement or the Securities shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

17.  Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

18.  Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

19.  Notices.

(e)           If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Offered Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(f)            If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Offered Securities as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement

16 

the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission, and furnish, at the Company’s own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Offered Securities may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus, so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(g)           To endeavor to qualify the Offered Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request.

(h)           To make generally available to the Company’s security holders and to you as soon as practicable an earning statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement, which earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(i)            To use its best efforts to accomplish the listing of the Offered Securities on the New York Stock Exchange and, in the case of Offered Securities that are Common Shares, the Pacific Exchange.

(j)            In the case of Offered Securities that are Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing to and including the Closing Date, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any preferred stock of the Company, as the case may be, substantially similar to the Offered Securities (other than the Offered Securities), without the prior written consent of the Manager.

(k)           In the case of Offered Securities that are Common Shares, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing to and including [90] days after the date of the Prospectus, not (i) to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Manager. The restrictions contained in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (i) the Common Shares to be sold hereunder or (ii) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option

17 

or warrant or the conversion of a restricted stock unit or other security outstanding on the date of this Agreement of which the Manager has been advised in writing.

(l)            Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and the Company’s accountants in connection with the registration and delivery of the Offered Securities under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including the filing fees payable to the Commission relating to the Offered Securities (within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Securities Act, if applicable), all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Offered Securities to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (iii) the cost of printing or producing any Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Offered Securities for offer and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 6(g) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum, (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with any review and qualification of the offering of the Offered Securities by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., (v) any fees charged by the rating agencies for the rating of the Offered Securities, [(vi) all fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement on Form 8-A relating to the Offered Securities and all costs and expenses incident to listing the Offered Securities on [the New York Stock Exchange/The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC][and other national securities exchanges and foreign stock exchanges]], (vii) the cost of the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Offered Securities, (viii) the costs and charges of any trustee, transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (ix) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Offered Securities, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any electronic road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show, (x) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement and (xi) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section 6.

18 

fees and disbursements of their counsel, transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Offered Securities by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

(n)           To prepare, if the Managers so request, a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Offered Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Offered Securities or the offering in a form consented to by you, and to file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Offered Securities.

7.             Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company as follows:

(a)           it will not take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter; and

(b)           it will comply with or observe any restrictions or limitations set forth in the Prospectus on persons to whom, or the jurisdictions in which, or the manner in which, the Offered Securities may be offered, sold, resold or delivered.

8.             Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to

19 

make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

(b)           Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus, any road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c)           In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Manager authorized to appoint counsel under this Section 8 as set forth in Schedule I hereto, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of

20 

the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d)           To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Offered Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Offered Securities as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Offered Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e)           The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter

21 

shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f)            The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, the officers or directors of the Company or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Securities.

9.              Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a)           In the event that any party that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such party of this Agreement and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)           In the event that any party that is a Covered Entity or any BHC Act Affiliate of such party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. The requirements of this Section 9 apply notwithstanding the following Section 10.

10.           Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 9, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a party that is a Covered Entity with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Act Affiliate of such party becoming subject to Insolvency Proceedings, except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

22 

(b)           After a BHC Act Affiliate of a party that is a Covered Entity has become subject to Insolvency Proceedings, if any party to this Agreement seeks to exercise any Default Right against such Covered Entity with respect to this Agreement, the party seeking to exercise a Default Right shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted hereunder.

11.           Definitions.

(a)           “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841 (k)) of such party.

(b)           “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i)            a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)           a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii)          a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(c)           “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1 as applicable.

(d)           “Insolvency Proceeding” means a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding.

(e)           “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

12.           Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company if, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States [or other relevant jurisdiction] shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets (or, if the Offered Securities are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, any change in currency exchange rates or controls) or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the

23 

Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated, the provisions of Section 6(l), Section 8 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 8(f)), Section 9, Section 10, Section 11, Section 16 and Section 18 shall survive.

13.            Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto. If, on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Offered Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Offered Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Offered Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Offered Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Offered Securities and the aggregate number of Firm Offered Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Offered Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on the Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Offered Securities and the aggregate number of Additional Offered Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase Additional Offered Securities or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Offered Securities that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all

24 

out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

14.           Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Offered Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(b)          The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

15.           Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. The words “execution,” signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement or the Shares shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

16.           Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

17.           Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC

[Name of other Lead Managers]

c/o Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC
1585 Broadway
New York, NY 10036

Dear Sirs:

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including MS & Co. (the “Underwriters”), of [___shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”)] [____ shares of the Company’s __% Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, stated value $______ per share (the “Preferred Stock”), convertible into the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”)].

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of MS & Co. on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending [90] days after the date of the final prospectus (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section

The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Note, including any Addendum, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption.

Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

· the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

· the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or

7 

governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). For the purpose of determining the Initial Interest Rate,

8 

references in this paragraph, the next succeeding paragraph and, if applicable, clauses (i) and (ii) under “Determination of EURIBOR” below to Interest Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Original Issue Date. The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Dates. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

9 

(i) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii) If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv) If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with

10 

accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on that Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective).”

(ii) If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page 5”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds (Open) Rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate will be the rate on that Interest Determination Date displayed on FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m.,

11 

New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Prime Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Bank Prime Loan.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published in the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1, as defined below, as that bank’s Prime Rate or base lending rate, as of 11:30 a.m., New York City time, as in effect for that Interest Determination Date.

(ii) If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the banks selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Treasury Rate,” the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be:

(i) the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears under the caption “INVEST RATE” on the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on page USAUCTION10 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION10 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION10”), or on page USAUCTION11 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION11 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION11”); or

(ii) if the rate described in (i) above is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills, announced by the United States Department of the Treasury; or

(iii) if the rate described in (ii) above is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”; or

12 

(iv) if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v) if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii) If the rate described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as

13 

described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii) If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv) If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

14 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

15 

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

16 

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain

17 

conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the

18 

Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

[ADDENDUM]¹⁸

Determination of SOFR

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SOFR. The Calculation Agent shall determine SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as follows:

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

_____________________________ 

¹⁸ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SOFR.

24 

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

A “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

25 

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

“ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

“New York Federal Reserve” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

“New York Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the New York Federal Reserve, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.

“Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means the time determined by the Issuer or its designee in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Benchmark Transition Event has occurred.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

26 

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date [one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date]¹¹ [15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below))]¹² (each such date, a “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity (or any redemption or repayment date) shall be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

SENIOR GLOBAL MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES I

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series I (the “Notes”), of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2004, between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor Trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture) as supplemented by a First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 4, 2007, a Second Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 4, 2008, a Third Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 10, 2008, a Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of December 1, 2008, a Fifth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of April 1, 2009, a Sixth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 16, 2011, a Seventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of November 21, 2011, an Eighth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of May 4, 2012, a Ninth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 10, 2014, a Tenth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 11, 2017 and an Eleventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 24, 2021 (as the same may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Senior Indenture”), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” the amount of principal payable upon redemption will be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

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

6 

indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” the amount of principal payable upon repayment will be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of repayment (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 calendar days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note’s tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day.

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for

7 

redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described in the next paragraph), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above.

The constant yield shall be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the initial period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), and an assumption that the maturity will not be

8 

accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Payment Date (the “initial period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the initial period is longer than the compounding period, then the period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” the amount of principal so payable will be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described above)), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by any beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

9 

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

In addition, the Issuer will not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts with respect to any interest in this Note presented for payment:

· where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings; or

· by or on behalf of a beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union.

10 

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration,

11 

transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

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

Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ______________, or registered assignees, the principal sum specified in Schedule I hereto on the Initial Maturity Date specified above or, to the extent the maturity date of any portion of the principal amount of this Note is extended in accordance with the procedures set forth below to an Extended Maturity Date, as defined below, on such Extended Maturity Date (except to the extent such portion is redeemed prior to such Extended Maturity Date) and to pay interest on the principal amount hereof outstanding from time to time, from and including the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above or determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until (a) the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment or (b) this Note has been canceled in accordance with the provisions set forth below. Unless such rate is otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Initial Interest Rate for this Note in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof.

The Issuer will pay interest in arrears weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Initial Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, a “Maturity Date”), or any redemption date; provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or redemption date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, “Extended Maturity Date” means the Maturity Extension Date (as specified above) occurring in the month twelve months after the most recent Election Date on which the maturity of this Note has been extended pursuant to the provisions set forth below.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date (a) the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment or (b) this Note has been canceled in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the

3 

person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date [one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date]⁷ [15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day)]⁸ (each such date, a “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity (or any redemption date) shall be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

On each Election Date, the maturity of this Note shall be extended to the Maturity Extension Date occurring in the month twelve months following such Election Date, unless, in any such case, the holder hereof elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or of any portion hereof having a principal amount of $1,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof by delivering to the Trustee at least 15 but not more than 30 calendar days prior to the applicable Election Date (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note’s tenor or terms, a statement that the option to elect termination of automatic extension is being exercised thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such option is being exercised and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension” below duly completed will be received by the Trustee no later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall not be effective unless this Note and such form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. Such option may be exercised by the holder for less than the entire principal amount hereof provided that the principal amount for which such option is not exercised is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The exercise of such option may be withdrawn before or after the applicable Election Date by giving written notice to such effect to the Paying Agent not less than 16 calendar days prior to such Election Date (or if such sixteenth day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day). If the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity of any portion hereof is exercised and not withdrawn prior to the applicable Election Date in accordance with such procedures, a new Note or Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Short-Term Note”) for the principal amount hereof for which such option was exercised and not withdrawn having as its or their “Maturity Date” (as such term is used in each such Short-Term Note) the Maturity Extension Date occurring in the month twelve months after such Election Date shall be issued on such Election Date in the name of the holder hereof and Schedule I hereto shall be annotated as of such Election Date to reflect the corresponding decrease in the principal amount hereof. If any exercise of the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof causes the principal amount of this Note to be reduced to zero, this Note shall nevertheless not be canceled until the date on which all outstanding Short-Term Notes issued in exchange for this Note shall have been paid in full.

In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer) for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments.

If this Note ceases to be held by The Depository Trust Company or its successor or the nominee of The Depository Trust Company or its successor, this Note will be exchanged for one or more Notes of authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note as then shown on Schedule I hereto, which new Notes shall otherwise have the same terms as this Note, except that the provisions of such new Notes regarding the termination of the automatic extension of the maturity thereof shall be modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders of such new Notes shall be the same in all material respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder of this Note. Such new Notes shall have stated principal amounts and shall be registered in the names of the persons then having a beneficial interest in this Note or in the names of their nominees.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

SENIOR GLOBAL MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES I

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series I (the “Notes”), of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2004, between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor Trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture) as supplemented by a First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 4, 2007, a Second Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 4, 2008, a Third Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 10, 2008, a Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of December 1, 2008, a Fifth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of April 1, 2009, a Sixth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 16, 2011, a Seventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of November 21, 2011, an Eighth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of May 4, 2012, a Ninth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 10, 2014, a Tenth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 11, 2017 and an Eleventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 24, 2021 (as the same may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Senior Indenture”), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Note, including any Addendum, will not be redeemable prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Redemption Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 180 nor more than 210 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate specified on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, specified on the face hereof (i) (A) plus or minus the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and (B) for any period on or after the Incremental Spread Commencement

8 

Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, plus or minus the Incremental Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). For the purpose of determining the Initial Interest Rate, references in this paragraph, the next succeeding paragraph and, if applicable, clauses (i) and (ii) under “Determination of EURIBOR” below to Interest Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Original Issue Date. The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the

9 

Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)       If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii)       If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

10 

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)        If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii)        If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii)        If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv)       If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Prime Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Bank Prime Loan.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(ii)       If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii)       If the banks selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

13 

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

(iii)       if the rate described in (ii) above is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”; or

(iv)       if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v)       if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

14 

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1)       the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2)       the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)       If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii)       If the information set forth in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or another affiliate, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii)       If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the

15 

arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv)       If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v)       If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate

16 

administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

17 

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

18 

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to an exercise of the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof shall be effective on and as of the Election Date corresponding to the exercise of such option, and any increase in the principal amount hereof shall be effective on and as of the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such increase. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

19 

This Note, and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or an amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of

20 

like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

21 

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

22 

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption

thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

24 

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to __________, or registered assignees, the principal sum specified in Schedule I hereto on the Maturity Date specified above and to pay interest on the principal amount hereof outstanding from time to time, from the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate, as defined below, until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the earlier of (a) the date on which the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment and (b) the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date on which the principal amount hereof is reduced to zero, in each case, together with the unpaid amount of interest, if any, payable on the principal amount hereof during the period that the Issuer’s obligation to pay such principal amount was evidenced by a predecessor Note that provided for the automatic extension of the maturity thereof (the “Renewable Note”), which amount shall be payable on the first date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above on which interest on this Note is paid and shall be payable to the person receiving such interest payment. The Issuer will pay interest hereon in arrears weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date or any redemption date; provided, however, if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, “Initial Interest Rate” means the rate of interest determined in accordance with the provisions of the Renewable Note (i) on the Interest Reset Date with respect to the Renewable Note occurring on the Interest Accrual Date specified above or (ii) if no such Interest Reset Date occurred on the Interest Accrual Date, on the Interest Reset Date with respect to the Renewable Note occurring immediately preceding the Interest Accrual Date.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date (a) the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment and (b) the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date on which the principal amount hereof is reduced to zero in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date [one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date]⁶ [15 calendar days

prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day)]⁷ (each such date, a “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity shall be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

On any date following the Interest Accrual Date and prior to the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the holder hereof may elect to exchange this Note or any portion hereof having a principal amount of $1,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for an interest in the Renewable Note equal to the principal amount hereof so exchanged by delivering to the Trustee (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Exchange” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note’s tenor or terms, a statement that the option to exchange is being exercised thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such option is being exercised and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled “Option to Exchange” below duly completed will be received by the Trustee no later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall not be effective unless this Note and such form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. Such option may be exercised by the holder for less than the entire principal amount hereof provided that the principal amount for which such option is not exercised is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the option to exchange all or a portion of this Note for an interest in the Renewable Note may not be exercised during the period from and including a Record Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date. If the option to exchange any portion hereof is exercised, then, on the date of such exchange, Schedule I hereto shall be annotated to reflect the corresponding decrease in the principal amount hereof, and Schedule I to the Renewable Note shall be annotated to reflect the corresponding increase in the principal amount thereof.

Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note due at maturity (or any redemption date), unless this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Trustee, as defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at the office or agency of such other paying agent as the Issuer may determine in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, will be made by United States dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 (or the equivalent in a Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is paid in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer

If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent (as defined on the reverse hereof) in writing [not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date]⁸ [, with respect to payments of interest, on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the applicable Record Date and, with respect to payments of principal or any premium, at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be]⁹; provided that, if payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest with regard to this Note is payable in euro, the account must be a euro account in a country for which the euro is the lawful currency, provided, further, that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register; and provided, further, that payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph.

If so indicated on the face hereof, the holder of this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to such Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date, for payments of interest, or at least ten calendar days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, for payments of principal, as the case may be.

If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined on the reverse hereof) will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer) for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date in

If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments.

If this Note ceases to be held by The Depository Trust Company or its successor or the nominee of The Depository Trust Company or its successor, this Note will be exchanged for one or more Notes of authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note as then shown on Schedule I hereto, which new Notes shall otherwise have the same terms as this Note, except that the provisions of such new Notes regarding the exchange thereof for an interest in a note providing for the automatic extension of the maturity thereof (a “New Renewable Note”) shall be modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders of such new Notes shall be the same in all material respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder of this Note. The terms of the New Renewable Note shall be the same as the terms of the Renewable Note, except that the principal amount thereof shall equal the principal amount of the new Notes exchanged therefor and the provisions of such New Renewable Notes regarding the automatic extension of the maturity thereof shall be modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders of such New Renewable Notes shall be the same in all material respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder of the Renewable Note. Such new Notes shall have stated principal amounts and shall be registered in the names of the persons then having a beneficial interest in this Note or in the names of their nominees.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, including the Addendum, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable prior to maturity.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate specified on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, specified on the face hereof (i) (A) plus or minus the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and (B) for any period on or after the Incremental Spread Commencement Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, plus or minus the Incremental Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

(i)       If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii)       If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii)       If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii)       If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv)       If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

(ii)       If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii)       If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

A-15 

(v)       If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the fixed rate of interest payable on an interest rate swap having the index maturity specified as reported on Reuters Page ICESWAP1 or any successor page thereto at approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time for such day.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMS Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the rate is not displayed by approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Reuters Page ICESWAP1 on any day on which such rate must be determined, such rate for such day will be determined on the basis of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations to the Calculation Agent provided by five leading swap dealers in the New York City interbank market selected by the Issuer or its designee (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day, and, for this purpose, the mid-market semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the applicable maturity commencing on such day and in a representative amount with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to the index rate that is then used in the calculation of the CMS Rate with a designated maturity of three months. The Issuer or its designee shall request the principal New York City office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate.

(ii) If at least three quotations are provided, the rate for that day shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest).

(iii) If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, the affected rate shall be determined by the Issuer or its designee in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment

A-20 

purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the

A-21 

provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein

A-22 

provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of

A-23 

which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

Determination of SOFR

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SOFR. The Calculation Agent shall determine SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as follows:

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

_______________________

¹⁰ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SOFR.

A-29 

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination,

A-30 

the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

A “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

“ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

A-31 

“New York Federal Reserve” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

“New York Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the New York Federal Reserve, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.

“Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means the time determined by the Issuer or its designee in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

• will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

• will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

• notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Benchmark Transition Event has occurred.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

• the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

A-32 

- multiplied by -

• the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

A-33 

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assignees, the principal sum of [ ] on the Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to maturity) and to pay interest thereon from and including the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above or determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. Unless such rate is otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Initial Interest Rate for this Note in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof. The Issuer will pay interest in arrears weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day; and provided, further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment.

The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Subordinated Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Subordinated Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Note, including any Addendum, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Subordinated Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

8 

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). For the purpose of determining the Initial Interest Rate, references in this paragraph, the next succeeding paragraph and, if applicable, clauses (i) and (ii) under “Determination of EURIBOR” below to Interest Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Original Issue Date. The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Dates. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such

9 

Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper -- Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii) If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately

10 

preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv)       If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

11 

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

(ii) If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate”, for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page 5”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds (Open) Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

(ii) If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iv) if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v) if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

13 

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii) If the rate described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii) If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv) If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v)       If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding

14 

Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

15 

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

16 

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all “Senior Indebtedness” of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines “Senior Indebtedness” as (i) obligations (other than non-recourse obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation and (ii) if provided in the supplemental indenture under which a series of Notes is issued or in the form of Note for such series, any additional obligations that the Issuer determines to include within the definition of Senior Indebtedness in order to assure that the Notes of such series will be accorded the regulatory capital recognition desired by the Issuer in accordance with Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other rule or regulation governing the definition of capital that is applicable to the Issuer or its affiliates.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000

17 

units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Subordinated Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Subordinated Indenture is provided in a supplemental indenture relating to a series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part (if such Event of Default is with respect to less than all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture), and such Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing or if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Subordinated Indenture is provided in a supplemental indenture relating to a series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part (if such Event of Default is with respect to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture), and such Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

18 

The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Subordinated Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would potentially be adversely affected thereby.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the

19 

European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

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

[ADDENDUM]¹¹

Determination of SOFR

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SOFR. The Calculation Agent shall determine SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as follows:

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date.

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Benchmark Transition Event has occurred.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

26 

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

Date, as defined below, on such Extended Maturity Date (except to the extent such portion is redeemed prior to such Extended Maturity Date) and to pay interest on the principal amount hereof outstanding from time to time, from and including the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above or determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until (a) the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment or (b) this Note has been canceled in accordance with the provisions set forth below. Unless such rate is otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Initial Interest Rate for this Note in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof.

The Issuer will pay interest in arrears weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Initial Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, a “Maturity Date”), or any redemption date; provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or redemption date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, “Extended Maturity Date” means the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months after The Initial Maturity Date and each Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months after the immediately preceding Extended Maturity Date.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date (a) the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment or (b) this Note has been canceled in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date [one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date]⁷ [15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day)]⁸ (each such date, a “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity (or any redemption date) shall be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

On the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months prior to the Initial Maturity Date (the “Initial Election Date”), the maturity of this Note shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date occurring in the month twelve months following the Initial Election Date and on the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months prior to each Extended Maturity Date (an “Election Date,” which term shall include the Initial Election Date), the maturity of this Note shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date occurring in the month twelve months after such Election Date, unless, in any such case, the holder hereof elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or of any portion hereof having a principal amount of $1,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof by delivering to the Trustee, as defined on the reverse hereof, not less than 15 nor more than 30 calendar days prior to the applicable Election Date (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note’s tenor or terms, a statement that the option to elect termination of automatic extension is being exercised thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such option is being exercised and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension” below duly completed will be received by the Trustee no

later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall not be effective unless this Note and such form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. Such option may be exercised by the holder for less than the entire principal amount hereof provided that the principal amount for which such option is not exercised is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The exercise of such option may be withdrawn before or after the applicable Election Date, pursuant to the procedures described on the reverse hereof and in a Short-Term Note (as defined below). If the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity of any portion hereof is exercised and not withdrawn prior to the applicable Election Date in accordance with such procedures, a new Note or Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Short-Term Note”) for the principal amount hereof for which such option was exercised and not withdrawn shall be issued on such Election Date in the name of the holder hereof and Schedule I hereto shall be annotated as of such Election Date to reflect the corresponding decrease in the principal amount hereof. Each such Short-Term Note shall have as its “Maturity Date” (as such term is used in such Short-Term Note) the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months after such Election Date and shall have as its Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be, the Spread or Spread Multiplier applicable to this Note on the day prior to the issuance of such Short-Term Note. If any exercise of the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof causes the principal amount of this Note to be reduced to zero, this Note shall nevertheless not be canceled until the date on which all outstanding Short-Term Notes issued in exchange for this Note shall have been paid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maturity of this Note shall not be extended beyond the Final Maturity Date specified above.

If the holder of any Short-Term Note elects to exchange all or a portion of such Short-Term Note for an interest in this Note in accordance with the terms of such Short-Term Note, Schedule I hereto shall be annotated on the date of such exchange to reflect the corresponding increase in the principal amount hereof.

Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note due at maturity (or any redemption date), unless this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at the office or agency of such other paying agent as the Issuer may determine in U.S. dollars.

Note due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph.

If so indicated on the face hereof, the holder of this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to such Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date, for payments of interest, or at least ten calendar days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, for payments of principal, as the case may be.

If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined on the reverse hereof) will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer) for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments.

If this Note ceases to be held by The Depository Trust Company or its successor or the nominee of The Depository Trust Company or its successor, this Note will be exchanged for one or more Notes of authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note as then shown on Schedule I hereto, which new Notes shall otherwise have the same terms as this Note, except that the provisions of such new Notes regarding the termination of the automatic extension of the maturity thereof shall be modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders of such new Notes shall be the same in all material respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder of this Note. Such new Notes shall have stated principal amounts and shall be registered in the names of the persons then having a beneficial interest in this Note or in the names of their nominees.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, (a) specified on the face hereof, (b) if the Spread or Spread Multiplier is reset in accordance with the procedures specified below, then as determined pursuant to such procedures, or (c) if a holder of a Short-Term Note has exchanged such Note for an interest in this Note in response to an Optional Exchange Notice (as defined in such Short-Term Note), then as set forth in such Optional Exchange Notice. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). For the purpose of determining the Initial Interest Rate, references in this paragraph, the next succeeding paragraph and, if applicable, clauses (i) and (ii) under “Determination of EURIBOR” below to Interest Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Original Issue Date. The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer has the option to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier on this Note as of any Election Date. Such option shall include the right to reset the Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum. Interest Rate on this Note. The Issuer may exercise such option by notifying the Paying Agent of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to an Election Date, such notice to be accompanied by the form of the Reset Notice referred to below. Not later than 38 calendar days prior to such Election Date, the Paying Agent will mail to the holder hereof a notice (the “Reset Notice”), first class mail, postage prepaid, setting forth (a) the election of the Issuer to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier and (b) such new Spread or Spread Multiplier, together with any new Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate.

If the face hereof indicates that the Issuer has the option to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier on this Note, then, if the holder of this Note elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or any portion hereof as of any Election Date, the Issuer may, not later than the later of (a) the twentieth calendar day prior to such Election Date and (b) the first Business Day following the twenty-third calendar day prior to such Election Date, propose a new Spread or Spread Multiplier or revoke a Spread or Spread Multiplier previously set forth in a Reset

9 

Notice and propose a higher Spread or Spread Multiplier, in either case together with any new Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate, by causing the Paying Agent to send notice thereof, to the holder of this Note by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other means as shall be agreed between the Issuer and the Paying Agent. If the Issuer has proposed a new or higher Spread or Spread Multiplier as described above, the holder hereof may withdraw his election to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or any portions thereof by giving written notice to such effect to the Paying Agent not less than 16 calendar days prior to such Election Date (or if such sixteenth day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), in which case such new or higher Spread or Spread Multiplier, together with any new Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate, will apply to the entire principal amount of this Note from such Election Date until the Maturity Date or until the Spread or Spread Multiplier is further reset by the Issuer pursuant to the provisions hereof or of a Short-Term Note.

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction.

If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iv) If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii) If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

14

(v)  If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the

15 

Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

16 

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof or, if the Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate is reset in accordance with the procedures referred to above, as determined pursuant to such procedures, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to an exercise of the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof shall be effective on and as of the Election Date corresponding to the exercise of such option, and any increase in the principal amount hereof shall be effective on and as of the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such increase. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all “Senior Indebtedness” of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines “Senior Indebtedness” as (i) obligations (other than non-recourse obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments,

17 

renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation and (ii) if provided in the supplemental indenture under which a series of Notes is issued or in the form of Note for such series, any additional obligations that the Issuer determines to include within the definition of Senior Indebtedness in order to assure that the Notes of such series will be accorded the regulatory capital recognition desired by the Issuer in accordance with Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other rule or regulation governing the definition of capital that is applicable to the Issuer or its affiliates.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or an amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Subordinated Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Subordinated Indenture is provided in a supplemental indenture relating to a series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part (if such Event of Default is with respect to less than all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture), and such Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if

18 

given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing or if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Subordinated Indenture is provided in a supplemental indenture relating to a series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part (if such Event of Default is with respect to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture), and such Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, or premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Subordinated Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would potentially be adversely affected thereby.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those

19 

bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who, is for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to, or registered assignees, the principal sum specified in Schedule I hereto on the Maturity Date specified above and to pay interest on the principal amount hereof outstanding from time to time, from the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate, as defined below, until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the earlier of (a) the date on which the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment and (b) the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date on which the principal amount hereof is reduced to zero, in each case, together with the unpaid amount of interest, if

any, payable on the principal amount hereof during the period that the Issuer’s obligation to pay such principal amount was evidenced by a predecessor Note that provided for the automatic extension of the maturity thereof (the “Renewable Note”), which amount shall be payable on the first date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above on which interest on this Note is paid and shall be payable to the person receiving such interest payment. The Issuer will pay interest hereon in arrears weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date or any redemption date; provided, however, if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, “Initial Interest Rate” means the rate of interest determined using the Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be, specified in the Renewable Note and using the Base Rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the Renewable Note (i) on the Interest Reset Date with respect to the Renewable Note occurring on the Interest Accrual Date specified above or (ii) if no such Interest Reset Date occurred on the Interest Accrual Date, on the Interest Reset Date with respect to the Renewable Note occurring immediately preceding the Interest Accrual Date.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date (a) the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment or (b) the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date on which the principal amount hereof is reduced to zero in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date [one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date]⁵ [15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day)]⁶ (each such date, a “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity shall be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

On any date following the Original Issue Date and prior to the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the holder hereof may, with the consent of the Issuer, exchange this Note or any portion hereof having a principal amount of $1,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for an interest in the Renewable Note equal to the principal amount hereof so exchanged by delivering to the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, (i) this Note with the form entitled “Request to Exchange” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note’s tenor or terms, a statement that a request to exchange is being made thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such request is being made and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled “Request to Exchange” below duly completed will be received by the Paying Agent no later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall not be effective unless this Note and such form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Such exchange may occur with respect to less than the entire principal amount hereof provided that the principal amount for which such exchange does not occur is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a request to exchange all or a portion of this Note for an interest in the Renewable Note may not be made during the period from and including a Record Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

SUBORDINATED GLOBAL MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES F

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Subordinated Global Medium-Term Notes, Series F (the “Notes”), of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Subordinated Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2004, between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture) (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Subordinated Indenture”), to which Subordinated Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Subordinated Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Subordinated Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Note, including any Addendum, will not be redeemable prior to maturity.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer may from time to time offer to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be, on the Renewable Note by causing the Paying Agent to send to the holder hereof a notice (an “Optional Exchange Notice”) by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other means as shall be agreed between the Issuer and the Paying Agent, setting forth (a) the new Spread or Spread Multiplier to be applied to the Renewable Note, together with any change in the Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate, and (b) the date, if any, on which such offer will expire. In order to accept such offer, the holder hereof must exchange this Note in whole or in part for an interest in the Renewable Note in accordance with the third paragraph on the face of this Note by delivering to the Paying Agent the notice referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of such paragraph prior to the earlier of the expiration date, if any, of such offer and the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

A-7 

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper--Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii) If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

A-8 

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv) If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(ii) If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate”, for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page 5”).

A-10 

(ii) If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the banks selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii) If the rate described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii) If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv)       If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v)       If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its

A-12 

successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the fixed rate of interest payable on an interest rate swap having the index maturity specified as reported on Reuters Page ICESWAP1 or any successor page thereto at approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time for such day.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMS Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the rate is not displayed by approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Reuters Page ICESWAP1 on any day on which such rate must be determined, such rate for such day will be determined on the basis of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations to the Calculation Agent provided by five leading swap dealers in the New York City interbank market selected by the Issuer or its designee (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day, and, for this purpose, the mid-market semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the applicable maturity commencing on such day and in a representative amount with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to the index rate that is then used in the calculation of the CMS Rate with a designated maturity of three months. The Issuer or its designee shall request the principal New York City office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate.

(ii) If at least three quotations are provided, the rate for that day shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest).

(iii) If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, the affected rate shall be determined by the Issuer or its designee in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date, as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to an exercise of the option to

A-13 

exchange a portion of this Note for an interest in the Renewable Note shall be effective on and as of the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such decrease. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all “Senior Indebtedness” of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines “Senior Indebtedness” as (i) obligations (other than non-recourse obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation and (ii) if provided in the supplemental indenture under which a series of Notes is issued or in the form of Note for such series, any additional obligations that the Issuer determines to include within the definition of Senior Indebtedness in order to assure that the Notes of such series will be accorded the regulatory capital recognition desired by the Issuer in accordance with Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other rule or regulation governing the definition of capital that is applicable to the Issuer or its affiliates.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such

A-14 

registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Subordinated Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Subordinated Indenture is provided in the supplemental indenture relating to the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part or in the form of debt security for such series (if such Event of Default is with respect to less than all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture) and such Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing or if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Subordinated Indenture is provided in the supplemental indenture relating to the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part or in the form of debt security for such series (if such Event of Default is with respect to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture) and such Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

A-15 

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements

A-16 

entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Subordinated Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the

A-17 

Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings is introduced and a Paying Agent has been designated within the European Union, the Issuer will maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or law.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

A-18 

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

[ADDENDUM]²⁰

Determination of SOFR

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SOFR. The Calculation Agent shall determine SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as follows:

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

________________________ 

²⁰ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SOFR. 

A-24 

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

A-26 

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

(formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture) (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture) as supplemented by a First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 4, 2007, a Second Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 4, 2008, a Third Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 10, 2008, a Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of December 1, 2008, a Fifth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of April 1, 2009, a Sixth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 16, 2011, a Seventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of November 21, 2011, an Eighth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of May 4, 2012, a Ninth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 10, 2014, a Tenth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 11, 2017 and an Eleventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 24, 2021 (as the same may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Senior Indenture”), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (less any previously paid Installments). If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof (less any previously paid Installments), together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” the amount of principal payable upon redemption will be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof (less any previously paid Installments) multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture.

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

7 

Installments), provided that if the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” the amount of principal payable upon repayment will be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof (less any previously paid Installments) multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of repayment (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 calendar days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note’s tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Installment Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or optional repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

In the case where the Installment Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or optional repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Installment Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Installment Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day.

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that

8 

the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof (less any previously paid Installments) multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described in the next paragraph), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above.

The constant yield shall be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the initial period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), and an assumption that the maturity will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Payment Date (the “initial period”) is

9 

shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the initial period is longer than the compounding period, then the period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof (less any previously paid Installments), together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” the amount of principal so payable will be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof (less any previously paid Installments) multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount amortized being calculated using a constant yield method (as described above), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by any beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

10 

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

In addition, the Issuer will not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts with respect to any interest in this Note presented for payment:

· where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings; or

· by or on behalf of a beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the

11 

partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into

12 

force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

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

Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. If an Initial Interest Rate is specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Initial Interest Rate for this Note in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof. The Issuer will pay interest in arrears weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that if, during any period up to and including the Floating Rate Commencement Date, an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date to such next succeeding Business Day; and provided, further, that if, during any period after the Floating Rate Commencement Date, an Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or a redemption or repayment date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day; and provided, further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date [one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date]⁹ [15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day)]¹⁰ (each such date, a “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity (or any redemption or repayment date) shall be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, will be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 (or the equivalent in a Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.

principal, premium, if any, and interest with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing [not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date]¹¹ [, with respect to payments of interest, on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the applicable Record Date and, with respect to payments of principal or any premium, at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be]¹²; provided that, if payment of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note is payable in euro, the account must be a euro account in a country for which the euro is the lawful currency, provided, further, that if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register; and provided, further, that payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph.

The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Note, including any Addendum, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment. For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 calendar days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note’s tenor and

6 

terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

This Note will bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate for the period commencing on and including the Interest Accrual Date and ending on, but excluding, the Floating Rate Commencement Date. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof or in the Addendum, from and including the Floating Rate Commencement Date, this Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, if any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, as used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or

7 

Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper – Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)       If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii)       If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula: 

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)  If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to

8 

leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv) If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(ii) If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate”, for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page 5”).

(“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

(ii) If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the banks selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

(iv) if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v) if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii) If the rate described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer

or its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii) If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv) If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

12 

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

13 

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All

14 

amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day (other than a day occurring on or after the Floating Rate Commencement Date) is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). While this Note bears interest at the Fixed Interest Rate, interest payments on this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be

15 

continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

16 

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or

17 

changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such

18 

principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

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

[ADDENDUM]¹³

Determination of SOFR

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SOFR. The Calculation Agent shall determine SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as follows:

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

_______________________ 

¹³ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SOFR.

23 

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

25 

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES [J/K]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series [J/K], having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the “Notes”) of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2004, between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor Trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 4, 2007, a Second Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 4, 2008, a Third Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 10, 2008, a Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of December 1, 2008, a Fifth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of April 1, 2009, a Sixth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of September 16, 2011, a Seventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of November 21, 2011, an Eighth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of May 4, 2012, a Ninth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 10, 2014, a Tenth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of January 11, 2017 and an Eleventh Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of March 24, 2021 (as the same may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Senior Indenture”), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), acting through its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as a paying agent for the Notes in the United States and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch), at its corporate trust office in London as the principal paying agent for the Notes outside the United States (the “Principal Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as indicated below). If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” the amount of principal payable upon redemption will be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized

5 

denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below), provided that if the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption”, the amount of principal payable upon repayment will be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of repayment (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 calendar days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless indicated otherwise on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day.

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York, a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office or at the London office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to

6 

require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a Notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described below)), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such Notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts to

7 

the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by any beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Issuer entitled to vote or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

8 

· any combination of the items listed above.

In addition, the Issuer will not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts with respect to any interest in this Note presented for payment:

· where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings; or

· by or on behalf of a beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union (a “Member State”).

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Modified Payment upon Acceleration, Repayment or Redemption,” then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount), with the amount of original issue discount accrued being calculated using a constant yield method (as described in the next paragraph), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above.

The constant yield shall be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the initial period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), and an assumption that the maturity will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Payment Date (the “initial period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the initial period is longer than the compounding period, then the period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange plc and such exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

10 

The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

GLOBAL MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES [J/K]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series [J/K], having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the “Notes”) of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2004, between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor Trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). For the purpose of determining the Initial Interest Rate, references in this paragraph, the next succeeding paragraph and, if applicable, clauses (i) and (ii) under “Determination of EURIBOR” below to Interest Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Original Issue Date. The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such

10 

preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii) If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

11 

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Money Market Yield =	D x 360	x 100
	360 - (D x M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI -The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was

12 

no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv)       If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on that Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective).”

(ii) If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds

13 

prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service, (“Reuters Page 5”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds (Open) Rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate will be the rate on that Interest Determination Date displayed on FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Prime Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with respect

14 

to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Bank Prime Loan.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published in the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1, as defined below, as that bank’s Prime Rate or base lending rate, as of 11:30 a.m., New York City time, as in effect for that Interest Determination Date.

(ii) If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the banks selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Treasury Rate,” the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be:

(i) the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears under the caption “INVEST RATE” on the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on page USAUCTION10 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION10 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION10”), or on page USAUCTION11 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION11 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION11”); or

15 

Auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills, announced by the United States Department of the Treasury; or

(iii) if the rate described in (ii) above is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”; or

(iv) if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v) if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

Bond Equivalent Yield =	D x N	x 100
	360 − (D x M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

16 

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii) If the rate described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii) If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT

17 

Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv) If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

18 

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed

19 

pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition

20 

of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof by an accrued

21 

interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer) and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York, a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office or at the London office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or

22 

exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a Notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the

23 

Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such Notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

24 

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of

25 

stock of the Issuer entitled to vote or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other

26 

currency, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

27 

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange plc and such exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether

28 

or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

Determination of SOFR

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SOFR. The Calculation Agent shall determine SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as follows:

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current

__________________ 

¹³ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SOFR.

34 

Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that

35 

adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

36 

A “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

“ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

“New York Federal Reserve” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

“New York Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the New York Federal Reserve, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.

“Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means the time determined by the Issuer or its designee in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

37 

If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Benchmark Transition Event has occurred.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

38 

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

[ADDENDUM 2]¹⁴

Determination of SONIA

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SONIA. The Calculation Agent shall determine SONIA for each London Banking Day as follows:

SONIA, in respect of any London Banking Day, is a reference rate equal to the daily Sterling Overnight Index Average rate for such London Banking Day as provided by the administrator of SONIA to authorized distributors and as then published on the Relevant Screen Page or, if the Relevant Screen Page is unavailable, as otherwise published by such authorized distributors, in each case on the London Banking Day immediately following such London Banking Day.

If SONIA in respect of any London Banking Day (the “Relevant London Banking Day”) is not published on the Relevant Screen Page or by an authorized distributor, and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of SONIA, by either (A) the immediately following London Banking Day (or any amended publication day for SONIA as specified by the administrator of SONIA in the SONIA benchmark methodology) or (B) such other date and time on which SONIA for the Relevant London Banking Day is required for the purpose of any determination pursuant to the terms of this Note and, in either case, none of the events triggering the fallbacks specified below have occurred, SONIA for the Relevant London Banking Day shall be deemed to be the rate equal to SONIA for the most recent London Banking Day in respect of which SONIA was so published or provided.

“London Banking Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in the relevant Index Currency are transacted in the London interbank market.

“Relevant Screen Page” means Bloomberg page SONIO/N Index or such other page, section or other part as may replace it as may be nominated by the person providing or sponsoring the information appearing there for the purpose of displaying rates or prices comparable to SONIA.

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, the Issuer or its designee will use, as a substitute for SONIA and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the United Kingdom that is consistent with accepted market practice

____________________

¹⁴ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SONIA.

40 

(the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the Spread, as well as the applicable business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions of this Note, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note.

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 365.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula:

“d” means the number of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period;

41 

“d₀” for any Observation Period, means the number of London Banking Days in the relevant Observation Period;

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant London Banking Day in chronological order from, and including, the first London Banking Day in the relevant Observation Period;

“n_i” for any London Banking Day “i” in the relevant Observation Period, means the number of calendar days from, and including, such day “i” up to, but excluding, the following London Banking Day (“i+1”);

“Observation Period” means, in respect of each Interest Payment Period, the period from, and including, the date falling a number of London Banking Days equal to the Observation Shift Days preceding the first day of such Interest Payment Period to, but excluding, the date falling a number of London Banking Days equal to the Observation Shift Days preceding the Interest Payment Period End-Date for such Interest Payment Period;

“Observation Shift Days” means 5 London Banking Days; and

“SONIA_i” for any London Banking Day “i” in the relevant Observation Period, is equal to SONIA in respect of that day “i”.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any London Banking Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding London Banking Day.

All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%, and all Pounds Sterling amounts used in or resulting from these calculations on this Note will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places, with .005 rounded up to .01.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each [£1,000] principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Note, including any Addendum, and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate specified on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, specified on the face hereof (i) (A) plus or minus the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and (B) for any period on or after the Incremental Spread Commencement Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, plus or minus the Incremental Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

For the purpose of determining the Initial Interest Rate, references in this paragraph, the next succeeding paragraph and, if applicable clauses (i) and (ii) under “Determination of EURIBOR” below to Interest Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Original Issue Date. The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or in London or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the

11 

Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper--Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)       If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii)       If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Money Market Yield =	D x 360	x 100
	360 – (D x M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at

12 

approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv) If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)       If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on that Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective).”

(ii)       If that rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii)       If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate relating to that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the

13 

immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page 5”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds (Open) Rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate will be the rate on that Interest Determination Date displayed on FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Prime Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Bank Prime Loan.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published in the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1, as defined below, as that bank’s Prime Rate or base lending rate, as of 11:30 a.m., New York City time, as in effect for that Interest Determination Date.

(ii) If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the banks selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

14 

Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Treasury Rate,” the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be:

(i)       the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears under the caption “INVEST RATE” on the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on page USAUCTION10 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION10 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION10”), or on page USAUCTION11 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION11 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION11”); or

(ii)       if the rate described in (i) above is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills, announced by the United States Department of the Treasury; or

(iii)       in the event that the rate described in (ii) above is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”; or

(iv)       if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v)       if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

Bond Equivalent Yield	=	D x N	x	100
		360 - (D x M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)       If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities

15 

Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii)       If the information described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or another affiliate, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii)       If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv)       If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by

16 

the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the

17 

administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

18 

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to the failure to duly extend the maturity of this Note or any portion of this Note during any Election Period shall be effective on and as of the first Interest Payment Date immediately succeeding such Election Period.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an authorized denomination set forth on the face hereof.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York, a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office or the London office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion

19 

may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in such notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

20 

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Issuer entitled to vote or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities

21 

issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of these Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of

22 

Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange plc and such exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), acting through its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as a paying agent for the Notes in the United States and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, at its corporate trust office in London as the principal paying agent for the Notes outside the United States (the “Principal Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Note, including any Addendum, and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as indicated below).

Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in the authorized denominations specified on the face hereof (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 calendar days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the

Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate specified on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, specified on the face hereof (i) (A) plus or minus the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and (B) for any period on or after the Incremental Spread Commencement Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, plus or minus the Incremental Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof will be the Initial Interest Rate and (ii) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or in London or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

A-9

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper--Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)       If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the rate above is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii)       If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Money Market Yield	=	D x 360	=	x	100
		360 - (D x M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

A-10

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv) If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

(ii) If that rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate relating to that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on

(“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in the City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Prime Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Bank Prime Loan.”

(ii)  If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii)  If the banks selected are not quoting as described in (ii) above, the Prime Rate shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

(iv)       if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v)       if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

		360 - (D x M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i)       If the above rate is no longer published, or if not displayed on the relevant page by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters

A-13

Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii)       If the rate described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii)       If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv)       If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v)       If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate shall be the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the fixed rate of interest payable on an interest rate swap having the index maturity specified as reported on Reuters Page ICESWAP1 or any successor page thereto at approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time for such day.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMS Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the rate is not displayed by approximately 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Reuters Page ICESWAP1 on any day on which such rate must be determined, such rate for such day will be determined on the basis of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations to the Calculation Agent provided by five leading swap

A-14

dealers in the New York City interbank market selected by the Issuer or its designee (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day, and, for this purpose, the mid-market semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the applicable maturity commencing on such day and in a representative amount with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to the index rate that is then used in the calculation of the CMS Rate with a designated maturity of three months. The Issuer or its designee shall request the principal New York City office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate.

(ii) If at least three quotations are provided, the rate for that day shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest).

(iii) If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, the affected rate shall be determined by the Issuer or its designee in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

A-15

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an authorized denomination set forth on the face hereof.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office or the London office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

A-16

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in such notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements

A-17

entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Issuer entitled to vote or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no

A-18

longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of these Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange plc and such exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

A-19

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein:

(a)       the term “Market Exchange Rate” means the noon U.S. dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York;

[ADDENDUM 1]²⁶

Determination of SOFR

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SOFR. The Calculation Agent shall determine SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as follows:

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

²⁶ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SOFR^.

A-24

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

A “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

A-25

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

A-26

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

[ADDENDUM 2]²⁷

Determination of SONIA

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SONIA. The Calculation Agent shall determine SONIA for each London Banking Day as follows:

SONIA, in respect of any London Banking Day, is a reference rate equal to the daily Sterling Overnight Index Average rate for such London Banking Day as provided by the administrator of SONIA to authorized distributors and as then published on the Relevant Screen Page or, if the Relevant Screen Page is unavailable, as otherwise published by such authorized distributors, in each case on the London Banking Day immediately following such London Banking Day.

If SONIA in respect of any London Banking Day (the “Relevant London Banking Day”) is not published on the Relevant Screen Page or by an authorized distributor, and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of SONIA, by either (A) the immediately following London Banking Day (or any amended publication day for SONIA as specified by the administrator of SONIA in the SONIA benchmark methodology) or (B) such other date and time on which SONIA for the Relevant London Banking Day is required for the purpose of any determination pursuant to the terms of this Note and, in either case, none of the events triggering the fallbacks specified below have occurred, SONIA for the Relevant London Banking Day shall be deemed to be the rate equal to SONIA for the most recent London Banking Day in respect of which SONIA was so published or provided.

“London Banking Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in the relevant Index Currency are transacted in the London interbank market.

“Relevant Screen Page” means Bloomberg page SONIO/N Index or such other page, section or other part as may replace it as may be nominated by the person providing or sponsoring the information appearing there for the purpose of displaying rates or prices comparable to SONIA.

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, the Issuer or its designee will use, as a substitute for SONIA and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the United Kingdom that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the Spread, as well as the applicable business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions of this Note, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note.

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

²⁷ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SONIA.

A-28

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 365.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula:

“d” means the number of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period;

“d₀” for any Observation Period, means the number of London Banking Days in the relevant Observation Period;

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant London Banking Day in chronological order from, and including, the first London Banking Day in the relevant Observation Period;

“n_i” for any London Banking Day “i” in the relevant Observation Period, means the number of calendar days from, and including, such day “i” up to, but excluding, the following London Banking Day (“i+1”);

“Observation Period” means, in respect of each Interest Payment Period, the period from, and including, the date falling a number of London Banking Days equal to the Observation Shift Days preceding the first day of such Interest Payment Period to, but excluding, the date falling a number of London Banking Days equal to the Observation Shift Days preceding the Interest Payment Period End-Date for such Interest Payment Period;

“Observation Shift Days” means 5 London Banking Days; and

“SONIA_i” for any London Banking Day “i” in the relevant Observation Period, is equal to SONIA in respect of that day “i”.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any London Banking Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding London Banking Day.

All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%, and all Pounds Sterling amounts used in or resulting from these calculations on this Note will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places, with .005 rounded up to .01.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each [£1,000] principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall

A-29

be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

(i) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii) If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

11 

Money Market Yield =	D x 360	x 100
	360 - (D x M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI -The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

12 

(iv)       If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on that Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective).”

(ii) If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions

13 

in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service, (“Reuters Page 5”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds (Open) Rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate will be the rate on that Interest Determination Date displayed on FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Prime Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Bank Prime Loan.”

14 

The following procedures shall be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(ii) If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the banks selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Treasury Rate,” the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be:

(i) the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears under the caption “INVEST RATE” on the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on page USAUCTION10 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION10 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION10”), or on page USAUCTION11 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION11 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION11”); or

15 

(iii) if the rate described in (ii) above is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”; or

(iv) if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v) if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

Bond Equivalent Yield =	D x N	x 100
	360 − (D x M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

16 

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii) If the rate described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii) If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

17 

(iv) If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE

18 

Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

19 

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such

20 

Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such

21 

date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day (other than a day occurring on or after the Floating Rate Commencement Date) is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). While this Note bears interest at the Fixed Interest Rate, interest payments on this Note will be [calculated on an actual/actual (ICMA) day count basis]¹³.

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer) and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York, a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office or at the London office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or

¹³ Insert alternative day-count convention for the fixed interest period if actual/actual (ICMA) is not to be used. 

22 

transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a Notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a

23 

change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such Notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on

24 

which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations

25 

promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Issuer entitled to vote or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so

26 

affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange

27 

Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange plc and such exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate,

28 

and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current

¹⁴ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SOFR.

34 

Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that

35 

adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

36 

A “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

37 

If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Benchmark Transition Event has occurred.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

38 

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

39 

[ADDENDUM 2]¹⁵

Determination of SONIA

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SONIA. The Calculation Agent shall determine SONIA for each London Banking Day as follows:

SONIA, in respect of any London Banking Day, is a reference rate equal to the daily Sterling Overnight Index Average rate for such London Banking Day as provided by the administrator of SONIA to authorized distributors and as then published on the Relevant Screen Page or, if the Relevant Screen Page is unavailable, as otherwise published by such authorized distributors, in each case on the London Banking Day immediately following such London Banking Day.

If SONIA in respect of any London Banking Day (the “Relevant London Banking Day”) is not published on the Relevant Screen Page or by an authorized distributor, and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of SONIA, by either (A) the immediately following London Banking Day (or any amended publication day for SONIA as specified by the administrator of SONIA in the SONIA benchmark methodology) or (B) such other date and time on which SONIA for the Relevant London Banking Day is required for the purpose of any determination pursuant to the terms of this Note and, in either case, none of the events triggering the fallbacks specified below have occurred, SONIA for the Relevant London Banking Day shall be deemed to be the rate equal to SONIA for the most recent London Banking Day in respect of which SONIA was so published or provided.

“London Banking Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in the relevant Index Currency are transacted in the London interbank market.

“Relevant Screen Page” means Bloomberg page SONIO/N Index or such other page, section or other part as may replace it as may be nominated by the person providing or sponsoring the information appearing there for the purpose of displaying rates or prices comparable to SONIA.

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, the Issuer or its designee will use, as a substitute for SONIA and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the United Kingdom that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the Spread, as well as the applicable business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions of this Note, in each case that are consistent with

¹⁵ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SONIA. 

40 

accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note.

If SONIA has been permanently discontinued, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 365.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula:

“d” means the number of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period;

“d₀” for any Observation Period, means the number of London Banking Days in the relevant Observation Period;

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series A (the “Notes”), of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of February 16, 2016, among the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture) as supplemented by a First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of November 16, 2017 (as the same may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Senior Indenture”), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Note, including any Addendum, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment. For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 calendar days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note’s tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day.

6 

notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed [as provided in the Addendum] for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment occurs, becomes effective or, in the case of a change in official position, is announced on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.

Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the notice.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a registered holder who is a U.S. Alien (as defined below) as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

· any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for:

o the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

o the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

· any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

7 

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if payment can be made without withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the holder or the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States as a precondition to relief or exemption from the tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed pursuant to Section 871(m) of the Code and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such section;

· any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

· any combination of the items listed above.

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or interestholder of that limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). For the purpose of determining the Initial Interest Rate, references in this paragraph, the next succeeding paragraph and, if applicable, clauses (i) and (ii) under “Determination of EURIBOR” below to Interest Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Original Issue Date. The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Dates. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such

8 

Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the real-time gross settlement system operated by the Eurosystem, or any successor system (“T2”), is open for the settlement of payment in euro (a “TARGET Settlement Day”).

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CMS Rate will be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined herein) prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15 Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

(ii) If the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (i) above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately

9 

preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Money Market Yield = D x 360 360 - (D x M) x 100

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer), at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

(iii) If the banks so selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, EURIBOR for that Interest Determination Date shall remain EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

(iv)       If the Issuer or its designee determine that EURIBOR has been permanently discontinued, the Calculation Agent will use, as a substitute for EURIBOR and for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate selected by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof) in the jurisdiction of the applicable Index Currency that is consistent with accepted market practice (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Issuer or its designee will make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as this Note. If, however, the Issuer or its designee determine that no such Alternative Rate exists on the relevant date, the Issuer or such designee shall make a determination of an alternative rate as a substitute for EURIBOR for debt obligations such as this Note, as well as the spread thereon, the business day convention and the Interest Determination Dates, that is consistent with accepted market practice.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

Determination of the Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on that Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective).”

(ii) If the above rate is not yet published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth in (ii) above, the Federal Funds Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Federal Funds (Open) Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Federal Funds Rate on that date set forth opposite the caption “Open” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page 5 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page 5”).

The following procedures shall be followed if the Federal Funds (Open) Rate cannot be determined as described above:

· If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate will be the rate on that Interest Determination Date displayed on FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane, or any successor service, on Bloomberg.

· If the above rate is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on Bloomberg, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds (Open) Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, quoted by each of three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the agent and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

· If the brokers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds (Open) Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Prime Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Bank Prime Loan.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(ii) If fewer than four rates for that Interest Determination Date appear on the Reuters Page US PRIME 1 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iii) If the banks selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” means the display designated as page “US PRIME 1” on Reuters, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Treasury Rate,” the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be:

(i) the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears under the caption “INVEST RATE” on the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on page USAUCTION10 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION10 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION10”), or on page USAUCTION11 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION11 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION11”); or

(iii) if the rate described in (ii) above is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”; or

(iv) if the rate described in (iii) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

(v) if the dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

Bond Equivalent Yield = D x N  360 - (D x M) x 100

12 

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source, as the yield is displayed for Treasury securities at “constant maturity” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FRBCMT; and

(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Reuters Page is FEDCMT.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page and published on the website of the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or in another recognized electronic source.

(ii) If the rate described in (i) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Issuer or its designee as described in the following sentence. The Issuer or its designee (after consultation with the Issuer) shall select five Reference Dealers and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(iii) If three Treasury Notes quotations are not obtained as described in (ii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (ii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv) If three or four, and not five, of the Reference Dealers are quoting as described in (iii) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(v) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Issuer or its designee are quoting as described in (iii) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

13 

“Designated CMT Reuters Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities published by the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors, or its successor, on its website or in another recognized electronic source. If no Reuters page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Reuters Page shall be FEDCMT, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified on the face hereof, for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of CMS Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is a “CMS Rate,” for an Interest Reset Date, the CMS Rate with respect to this Note shall be the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, expressed as a percentage, provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or any amended publication time specified by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate in the benchmark methodology) on the Interest Determination Date.

If that rate is subsequently corrected and provided by the administrator of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate to, and published by, authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate within the longer of one hour of the time when such rate is first published by authorized distributors of the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate and the republication cut-off time for the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate, if any, as specified by the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark administrator in the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate benchmark methodology, then that rate shall be subject to those corrections.

“USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate” means the swap rate for a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar swap transaction where the floating leg references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator) (SOFR), as provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator).

Temporary Non-Publication. If the CMS Rate for a period of the Index Maturity in respect of an Interest Reset Date is not published by the administrator of the CMS Rate or an authorized distributor and is not otherwise provided by the administrator of the CMS Rate by either (A) such Interest Reset Date or (B) such other date on which the CMS Rate is required, then, for such date, the Issuer or its designee shall determine a commercially reasonable alternative for the CMS Rate, taking into account all available information that in good faith it considers relevant including, without limitation, an industry-accepted rate of interest in the over-the-counter derivatives market or for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes (if any).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, the provisions set forth under “Index Cessation” below shall apply.

Index Cessation. If, as of an Interest Determination Date, an Index Cessation Effective Date with respect to the applicable tenor of the then-current CMS Rate has occurred, then the CMS Rate in respect of each following Interest Reset Date shall thereafter be the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)) selected on that Interest Determination Date by the Issuer or its designee acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence of an Index Cessation Effective Date in respect of one or more Index Cessation Events, the selection of the Benchmark Replacement (including any adjustment spread calculation) shall be a one-time process and shall apply to each following Interest Reset Date.

“CMS Rate” means, initially, the USD SOFR ICE Swap Rate having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided that if an Index Cessation Effective Date has occurred with respect to such rate or the then-current CMS Rate, then “CMS Rate” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, such Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current CMS Rate for all purposes relating to this Note.

“Index Cessation Effective Date” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate and one or more Index Cessation Events, the first date on which the CMS Rate would ordinarily have been published or provided and is no

14 

longer published or provided. If the CMS Rate ceases to be provided on an Interest Determination Date, but it was provided at the time at which it is to be observed pursuant to “Reference Rate” above, then the Index Cessation Effective Date shall be the next day on which the rate would ordinarily have been published or provided.

“Index Cessation Event” means, in respect of the then-current CMS Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the CMS Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider, as applicable, that will continue to provide the CMS Rate; or

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the CMS Rate, the central bank for the currency of the CMS Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the CMS Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the CMS Rate, which states that the administrator of the CMS Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the CMS Rate permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of the statement or publication, there is no successor administrator or provider that will continue to provide the CMS Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative benchmark set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Interest Determination Date next succeeding the relevant Index Cessation Event (or, if the Index Cessation Event occurs on the Interest Determination Date, that Interest Determination Date):

(1) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the relevant governmental body or agency with jurisdiction over the then-current CMS Rate or the administrator thereof as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity; and

(2) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current CMS Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time, including any alternate rate of interest recommended by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee determine may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee determine that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determine is reasonably necessary).

Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this section entitled “Determination of CMS Rate,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· shall be made in such person’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

15 

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Index Cessation Event has occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof or in the Addendum, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or CMS Rate; or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one- half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with 0.005 being rounded up to 0.01. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. Unless otherwise provided in the Addendum, the interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. Any payment due on, including any property deliverable under, this Note is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor on an unsecured basis.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.

The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the “Registrar,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that

16 

the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantor that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Notes of which this Note forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars, or impair or affect the rights of any holder of any series to institute suit for the payment thereof, or (except in accordance with Section 13.13 of the Senior Indenture) remove the Guarantee on this Note or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or the Guarantor, if applicable, or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

18 

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or the Guarantor or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer, the Guarantor or any successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Alien” means any person who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a nonresident alien individual, (ii) a foreign corporation, (iii) a foreign trust as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or (iv) a foreign partnership one or more members of which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

[ADDENDUM]¹⁸

Determination of SOFR

The Base Rate specified on the face hereof is based on SOFR. The Calculation Agent shall determine SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as follows:

SOFR means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day:

(1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day as provided by the New York Federal Reserve, as the administrator of such rate (or a successor administrator) on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website on or about 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such U.S. Government Securities Business Day; or

(2) if the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of such U.S. Government Securities Business Day does not appear as specified in paragraph (1), unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in respect of the last U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such rate was published on the New York Federal Reserve’s Website; or

(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred:

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or

· the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark” means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate with the Index Maturity specified above or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order presented in clause (3) of the definition of “SOFR” that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment;

¹⁸ Applies only if the specified Base Rate is SOFR.

24 

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Payment Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

A “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the then-current Benchmark.

25 

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

“ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

“New York Federal Reserve” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

“New York Federal Reserve’s Website” means the website of the New York Federal Reserve, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source.

“Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark means the time determined by the Issuer or its designee in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

“U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee pursuant to this Note, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

· will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

· will be made in the Issuer’s or its designee’s sole discretion; and

· notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to this Note, shall become effective without consent from the holder of this Note or any other party.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for the selection of any Benchmark Replacement, for determining any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or for determining if any Benchmark Transition Event has occurred.

How Interest is Calculated

The amount of interest accrued and payable on this Note for each Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of this Note multiplied by the product of:

· the sum of the accrued interest compounding factor plus the Spread for the relevant Interest Payment Period,

26 

- multiplied by -

· the quotient obtained by dividing the actual number of calendar days in such Interest Payment Period by 360.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the interest rate payable for any Interest Payment Period be less than zero percent.

With respect to any Interest Payment Period during the Floating Rate Period, the accrued interest compounding factor means the rate of return of a daily compound interest investment computed in accordance with the following formula (with the resulting percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards to 0.00001):

“d₀”, for any Interest Payment Period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“i” is a series of whole numbers from one to d₀, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

“SOFR_i”, for any day “i” in the relevant Interest Payment Period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

“n_i” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period on which the rate is SOFR_i.

“d” is the number of calendar days in the relevant Interest Payment Period.

For these calculations, the interest rate in effect on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of an Event of Default

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable for each $1,000 principal amount of this Note (the “Stated Principal Amount”) upon any acceleration of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such acceleration were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date (if applicable) and final Interest Payment Date.

Alternate Interest Accrual Calculation in Case of a Tax Redemption

If this Note is redeemed in accordance with the provisions relating to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Stated Principal Amount upon any such redemption of this Note shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Stated Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon calculated as if the date of such redemption were the Maturity Date, final Interest Payment Period End-Date and final Interest Payment Date.

Statement (the “Offered Security”), in accordance with the terms of such Offered Security or the instrument governing such Offered Security providing for such conversion or exercise as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, for the consideration approved by such Board of Directors (which consideration is not less than the par value of the Common Stock), such shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.

We wish to point out that the opinions in paragraph (‎‎3) above (except as to due authorization of the Debt Securities to be issued by the Company), the opinions in paragraph (‎‎4) above (except as to due authorization of the Debt Securities to be issued by MSFL and guaranteed by the Company), the opinions in paragraph (‎‎5) above (except as to due authorization of the Warrants to be issued by the Company), the opinions in paragraph (‎‎6) above (except as to due authorization of the Warrants to be issued by MSFL and guaranteed by the Company), the opinions in paragraph (‎7) above (except as to due authorization of the Purchase Contracts to be issued by the Company (other than Pre-paid Purchase Contracts issued under a Morgan Stanley Indenture) and/or Units to be issued by the Company), the opinions in paragraph (‎‎8) above (except as to due authorization of the Purchase Contracts to be issued by MSFL (other than Pre-paid Purchase Contracts issued under the MSFL Senior Indenture) and/or Units to be issued by MSFL and guaranteed by the Company) and the opinions in paragraph (‎9) above (except as to due authorization of the Depositary Shares) do not address any application of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or the rules, regulations or interpretations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to the Securities, the payments of principal or interest on which, or any other payment with respect to which, will be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodities, securities issued by the Company or by MSFL or by entities affiliated or unaffiliated with the Company or MSFL, baskets of such securities or indices and on such other terms as may be set forth in the relevant pricing supplement specifically relating to the Securities.

In connection with the opinions expressed above, we have assumed that, at or prior to the time of the delivery of any such Security, (i) the Board of Directors or Board of Managers, as applicable, or a duly authorized officer of the Company or MSFL, as applicable, shall have duly established the terms of such Security and duly authorized the issuance and sale of such Security and such authorization shall not have been modified or rescinded; (ii) the Company shall remain validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (iii) MSFL shall remain validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (iv) the Registration Statement shall have become effective and such effectiveness shall not have been terminated or rescinded; (v) the Indentures, the Warrant Agreements, the Unit Agreements, the Unit Agreements Without Holders’ Obligations, the Deposit Agreement, the Debt Securities, Units, Warrants and Depositary Shares have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated (if applicable), effectuated (if applicable), countersigned (if applicable) and delivered by, and are each valid, binding and enforceable agreements of, each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company or MSFL, as applicable); (vi) the Deposit Agreement and the Securities will be executed in substantially the form reviewed by us, and (vii) there shall not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity or enforceability of such Security. We have also assumed that the terms of any Security whose terms are established subsequent to the date hereof and the issuance, execution and delivery of, and performance by the Company or MSFL, as applicable, pursuant to, any such Security (a) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or public policy or regulation or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or MSFL, as applicable.

In connection with our opinion above, we note that, as of the date of this opinion, a judgment for money in an action based on Securities payable in foreign currencies in a federal or state court in the United States ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in United States dollars. The date used to determine the rate of conversion of the foreign currency in which a particular Security is payable into United States dollars will depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.
