XXXXXXX XXXXX & CO., INC., a Delaware corporation ("Issuer" or the
"Company," which terms include any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
DOLLARS on the Stated Maturity specified above (except to the extent redeemed or
repaid prior to the Stated Maturity), and to pay interest thereon, at a rate per
annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial
Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate per annum
determined in accordance with the provisions hereof and any Addendum relating
hereto depending upon the Interest Rate Basis or Bases, and such other terms
specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for
payment. Reference herein to "this Note", "hereof", "herein" and comparable
terms shall include an Addendum hereto if an Addendum is specified above.
The Company will pay interest on each Interest Payment Date specified
above, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date specified above next
succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Stated Maturity
or any Redemption Date or Optional Repayment Date (as defined below) (the date
of each such Stated Maturity, Redemption Date and Optional Repayment Date and
the date on which principal or an installment of principal is due and payable by
declaration of acceleration pursuant to the Indenture being referred to
hereinafter as a "Maturity" with respect to principal payable on such date);
provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record
Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest
payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the
Original Issue Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date
(other than an Interest Payment Date at Maturity) would fall on a day that is
not a Business Day (as defined below), such Interest Payment Date shall be
postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that in the
case the Interest Rate Basis is LIBOR, as indicated above, if such next Business
Day falls in the next calendar month, the applicable Interest Payment Date shall
be the immediately preceding Business Day. Except as provided above, interest
payments will be made on the Interest Payment Dates shown above. Unless
otherwise specified above, the "Regular Record Date" shall be the date 15
calendar days (whether or not a Business Day) prior to the applicable Interest
Payment Date. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the Original
Issue Date specified above, at the rates determined from time to time as
specified herein, until the principal hereof has been paid or made available for
payment. If the Maturity falls on a day which is not a Business Day as defined
below, the payment due on such Maturity will be paid on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Maturity and no
interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after
such Maturity. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for
on any Interest Payment Date will as provided in the Indenture be paid to the
Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest
Payment Date. Any such interest which is payable, but not punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted
Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such
Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by
the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in
any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at
the Office or Agency of the Company maintained by the Company for such purpose
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of
the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
or on behalf of JPMorgan Chase Bank, the Trustee with respect to the Notes under
the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, by the manual signature of one of
its authorized officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities (hereinafter
called the "Securities") of the Company designated as its Medium-Term Notes,
Series B (the "Notes"). The Securities are issued and to be issued under an
indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of October 1, 1993, between the Company and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank (successor by
merger to The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association)) (herein called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
3
thereto reference is xxxxxx made for a statement of the respective rights
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the
terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. The terms of
individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates or interest rate
formulas, issue dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and
otherwise as provided in the Indenture.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of, unless otherwise specified above, $1,000 and integral
multiples thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. If
(x) the Depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository
and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 60 days, (y)
the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect
that this Note shall be exchangeable or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing with respect to the Notes, this Note shall be exchangeable for
Notes in definitive form of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal
amount, in authorized denominations. Such definitive Notes shall be registered
in such name or names as the Depository shall instruct the Trustee. If
definitive Notes are so delivered, the Company may make such changes to the form
of this Note as are necessary or appropriate to allow for the issuance of such
definitive Notes.
This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.
This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder
prior to its Stated Maturity on the Holder's Optional Repayment Date(s), if any,
indicated on the face hereof. If no Holder's Optional Repayment Dates are set
forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be so repaid at the option of the
Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity. On any Holder's Optional Repayment
Date, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part in an amount equal to
$1,000 or integral multiples thereof (provided that any remaining principal
amount shall be an authorized denomination) at the option of the Holder hereof
at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid,
together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Note
to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note
must be received, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly
completed, by the Trustee at its office at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx 000, Corporate
Trust Securities Window, New York, New York 10041 or such address which the
Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of the Medium-Term Notes (the
"Corporate Trust Office"), not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to a
Holder's Optional Repayment Date. This Note must be received by the Trustee by
5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the last day for giving such notice. Exercise
of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event
of payment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unpaid portion hereof
shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.
This Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to its
Stated Maturity on any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any,
specified on the face hereof (the "Redemption Date"). If no Initial Redemption
Date is set forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be redeemed at the
option of the Company prior to the Stated Maturity. On and after the Initial
Redemption Date, if any, this Note may be redeemed at any time in whole or from
time to time in part in increments of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof
(provided that any remaining principal amount shall be an authorized
denomination) at the option of the Company at the applicable Redemption Price
(as defined below) together with interest thereon payable to the Redemption
Date, on notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new
Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the surrender hereof.
If this Note is redeemable at the option of the Company prior to its
Stated Maturity, the "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial
Redemption Percentage, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount of
this Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial
Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified
on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption
Price is 100% of such principal amount.
The interest rate borne by this Note shall be determined as follows:
1. If this Note is designated as a Regular Floating Rate Note
above, then, except as described below, this Note shall bear interest
at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate
Basis or Bases shown above (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if
any, and/or (2) multiplied by
4
the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the
manner described above. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date,
the rate at which interest on this Note is payable will be reset as of
each Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that the
interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to
the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.
2. If this Note is designated as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate
Note above, then, except as described below, this Note shall bear
interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable
Interest Rate Basis or Bases shown above (1) plus or minus the
applicable Spread, if any, and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner
described above. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate
at which interest on this Note is payable will be reset as of each
Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that (i) the
interest rate in effect for the period from the date of issue to the
first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate, and (ii)
the interest rate in effect commencing on, and including, the date on
which interest begins to accrue on a fixed rate basis to Maturity will
be the Fixed Interest Rate, if the rate is specified above, or if no
Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect on the
Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note on the day immediately preceding the
date on which interest begins to accrue on a fixed rate basis.
3. If this Note is designated as an Inverse Floating Rate Note
above, then, except as described below, this Note will bear interest
equal to the Fixed Interest Rate indicated above minus the rate
determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases
shown above (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or
(2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified
and applied in the manner described above; provided, however, that
unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate
hereon will not be less than zero percent. Commencing on the first
Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is
payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified above;
provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period
from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall
be the Initial Interest Rate.
4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is designated
above as having an Addendum attached or as having Other Provisions
apply, the Note shall bear interest in accordance with the terms
described in such Addendum or specified under Other Provisions.
Except as provided above, the interest rate in effect on each day
shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined
as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding
such Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the
interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately
preceding the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date. Each Interest Rate
Basis shall be the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provision
below. If any Interest Reset Date (which term includes the term first Interest
Reset Date unless the context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that
is not a Business Day, that Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and the next Business Day falls in the
next succeeding calendar month, that Interest Reset Date shall be the
immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if an Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate and the Interest Determination
Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then that Interest Reset
Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.
Unless otherwise specified above, interest payable on this Note on any
Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including
the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has
been paid (or from and including the Original Issue Date specified above, if no
interest has been paid), to but excluding the related Interest Payment Date or
Maturity. Unless otherwise specified above, accrued interest hereon shall be an
amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest
factor. The accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest
factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being
calculated. Unless otherwise specified above, the interest factor for each such
day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by
360, if the Day Count Convention specified above is "Actual/360" for the period
specified thereunder or by the actual number of days in the year if the Day
Count Convention specified above is "Actual/Actual" for the period specified
thereunder. In the case of notes for which the Interest Rate Basis is the CD
Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the
Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate, the interest factor for each day
will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to each day by 360. In
the case of notes for which the Interest Rate Basis is the CMT Rate or
5
the Treasury Rate, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing
the interest rate applicable to each day by the actual number of days in the
year. The interest factor for notes for which the interest rate is calculated
with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each
period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases
applied.
Unless otherwise specified above, the "Interest Determination Date"
with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate and the Commercial Paper Rate shall be
the second Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date; the "Interest
Determination Date" with respect to the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate
shall be the Business Day immediately preceding each Interest Reset Date; the
"Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London
Banking Day (as defined below) preceding each Interest Reset Date; the "Interest
Determination Date" with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
shall be the last working day of the month immediately preceding each Interest
Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of
San Francisco") publishes the Index (as defined below); and the "Interest
Determination Date" with respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day in the
week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills
(as defined below) are normally 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 related Interest Reset
Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday;
and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date,
then the related Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day
following such auction. If the interest rate of this Note is determined with
reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, the Interest Determination Date
pertaining to this Note will be the latest Business Day which is at least two
Business Days prior to such Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate
Basis shall be determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined and
compared on such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the
related Interest Reset Date.
Unless otherwise specified above, the "Calculation Date", if
applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of
(i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if the
tenth calendar day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or
(ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or date of
Maturity, as the case may be. All calculations on this Note shall be made by the
Calculation Agent specified above or such successor thereto as is duly appointed
by the Company.
All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note will be
rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545% or
..09876545 would be rounded to 9.87655% or .0987655. All dollar amounts used in
or resulting from any calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent with
one-half cent being rounded upward.
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are
authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The
City of New York; provided, however, that, with respect to non-United State

are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the
Principal Financial Center (as hereinafter defined) of the country issuing the
Specified Currency or, if the Specified Currency is EURO, the day is also a day
on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express
Transfer (TARGET) System is open; provided, further, that, with respect to Notes
as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day is also a
