Terms left blank
or marked “N/A”, “No”, “None”
or in a similar manner do not apply to this Security except as
otherwise may be specified.
Whenever used in
this Security, the terms specified above that apply to this
Security have the meanings specified above, unless the context
requires otherwise. Other terms used in this Security that are not
defined herein but that are defined in the 2008 Indenture referred
to in Section 1 on the reverse of this Security are used
herein as defined therein.
The Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “
Company ”, which term includes any successor Person
under the 2008 Indenture (as defined on the reverse of this
Security)), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
, or registered assigns, as principal the Principal Amount on the
Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, from the Original
Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or made available for payment, on the
Interest Payment Date(s) in each year, commencing on the first such
date that is at least 15 calendar days after the Original Issue
Date, and at the Maturity of the principal hereof, at a rate per
annum determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Section 3 on the reverse hereof, until the principal hereof is
paid or made available for payment. Any premium and any such
installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear
interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable) at the rate per annum at which the principal
then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first
becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium
or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on
demand.
The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or made available for payment, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the 2008 Indenture, be
paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the 15 th
calendar day (whether or not a
Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(o) on the
reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (a
“ Regular Record Date ”); provided ,
however , if this Security is a Global Security, a Regular
Record Date will instead occur on the fifth Business Day preceding
such Interest Payment Date. Any interest so payable, but not
punctually paid or made available for payment, on any Interest
Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest may either be
paid to the Person in whose name this Security (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 Security not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date, or be paid in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the 2008
Indenture. For the purpose of determining a Holder at the close of
business on any relevant record date when business is not
conducted, the close of business will mean 5:00 P.M., New York City
time, on that day.

The Company and
the Trustee acknowledge that the Company has not opted out of the
debt guarantee program (the “Debt Guarantee Program”)
established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) under its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee
Program. As a result, this debt is guaranteed under the FDIC
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program and is backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States. The details of the FDIC
guarantee are provided in the FDIC’s regulations, 12 CFR
Part 370, and at the FDIC’s website, www.fdic.gov/tlgp.
The expiration date of the FDIC’s guarantee is the earlier of
the maturity date of this debt or June 30, 2012
.
The Trustee is
hereby designated as the duly authorized representative of the
Holder for purposes of making claims and taking other permitted or
required actions under the Debt Guarantee Program (the “
Representative ”). The Holder of this Security may
elect not to be represented by the Representative with respect to
this Security by providing written notice of such election to the
Representative.
Notwithstanding
any provision of this Security, any right of the Holder to receive
payment in respect of this Security under the Debt Guarantee
Program shall be subject to the procedures and other requirements
of the Debt Guarantee Program, and the Holder will not be entitled
under the Debt Guarantee Program to receive any additional interest
or penalty amounts on account of any default or resulting delay in
payment in respect of this Security.
Payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security
will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment, except as
provided in this and the next three paragraphs. The Specified
Currency for any payment shall be the currency specified as such on
the face of this Security unless, at the time of such payment, such
currency is not legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts in the country issuing such currency on the Original Issue
Date, in which case the Specified Currency for such payment shall
be such coin or currency as at the time of such payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts in such country,
except as provided in the next sentence. If the euro is specified
on the face of this Security as the Specified Currency for any
payment, the Specified Currency for such payment shall be such coin
or currency as at the time of payment is legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts in all EMU Countries (as
defined in Section 3(o) on the reverse hereof), provided
that, if on any day there are not at least two EMU Countries, or if
on any day there are at least two EMU Countries but no coin or
currency is legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts in all EMU Countries, then the Specified Currency for such
payment shall be deemed not to be available to the Company on such
day.
Except as provided
in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Security in a
Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made in U.S.
dollars if the Person entitled to receive such payment transmits a
written request for such payment
(Face of Security continued on next
page)
-5-
to be made in
U.S. dollars to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, on or before the fifth
Business Day before the payment is to be made. Such written request
may be mailed, hand delivered, telecopied or delivered in any other
manner approved by the Trustee. Any such request made with respect
to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will
remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to
such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the fifth
Business Day before a payment is to be made, in which case such
revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments. In
the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment
Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the
registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record
Date.
The U.S. dollar
amount of any payment made pursuant to the immediately preceding
paragraph will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon
the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day
preceding the applicable payment date, from three (or, if three are
not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers
selected by the Exchange Rate Agent in The City of New York, in
each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for U.S. dollars
and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of such
Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount
of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all
Holders of this Security who elect to receive U.S. dollar payments
on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to
execute a contract. If the Exchange Rate Agent determines that two
such bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day,
such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such
payment. All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in
U.S. dollars on this Security will be borne by the Holder entitled
to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on
any day (including at Maturity) in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars, and if such Specified Currency is not available to
the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the
imposition of exchange controls, disruption in a currency market or
any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the
Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such
amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in U.S.
dollars. The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the noon
buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York, for such
Specified Currency (the “ Exchange Rate ”) as of
the latest day before the day on which such payment is to be made.
Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the
required payment is in other than U.S. dollars will not constitute
an Event of Default under the 2008 Indenture or this
Security.
Manner of
Payment — U.S. Dollars
(Face of Security continued on next
page)
-6-
Except as provided
in the next paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this
Security in U.S. dollars will be made at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or
at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that
purpose), against surrender of this Security in the case of any
payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any
payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment
Date); provided , however , that, at the option of
the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest
may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
Register.
Payment of any
amount payable on this Security in U.S. dollars will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
maintained by the payee with a bank located in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, if (i) the principal of this
Security is at least $1,000,000 (or the equivalent in another
currency) and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment
transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such
manner to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention:
Corporate Trust Administration, on or before the fifth Business Day
before the day on which such payment is to be made; provided
that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the
principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first
becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be
surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or
agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the
Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with
its normal procedures. Any such request made with respect to any
payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain
in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such
Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the fifth
Business Day before a payment is to be made, in which case such
revocation shall be effective for such payment and all later
payments. In the case of any payment of interest payable on an
Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the
Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the
relevant Regular Record Date. The Company will pay any
administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making
payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any
tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any
payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be
deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying
Agent.
Manner of
Payment — Other Specified Currencies
Payment of any
amount payable on this Security in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to such account as is maintained in such Specified Currency
at a bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Company
and the Trustee and as shall have been designated at least five
Business Days prior to the applicable payment date by the Person
entitled to receive such payment; provided that, in the case
of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof
(other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on
an
(Face of Security continued on next
page)
-7-
Interest
Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of
New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the
Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such
payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.
Such account designation shall be made by transmitting the
appropriate information to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, by mail,
hand delivery, telecopier or in any other manner approved by the
Trustee. Unless revoked, any such account designation made with
respect to this Security by the Holder hereof will remain in effect
with respect to any further payments with respect to this Security
payable to such Holder. If a payment in a Specified Currency other
than U.S. dollars with respect to this Security cannot be made by
wire transfer because the required account designation has not been
received by the Trustee on or before the requisite date or for any
other reason, the Company will cause a notice to be given to the
Holder of this Security at its registered address requesting an
account designation pursuant to which such wire transfer can be
made and such payment will be made within five Business Days after
the Trustee’s receipt of such a designation meeting the
requirements specified above, with the same force and effect as if
made on the due date. The Company will pay any administrative costs
imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire
transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by
the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by
the Company or the Paying Agent.
Manner of
Payment — Global Securities
Notwithstanding
any provision of this Security or the 2008 Indenture, if this
Security is a Global Security, the Company may make any and all
payments of principal, premium and interest on this Security
pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary for this
Security as permitted in the 2008 Indenture.
Payments
Due on a Business Day
Notwithstanding
any provision of this Security or the 2008 Indenture, if the
Maturity of the principal hereof occurs on a day that is not a
Business Day, any amount of principal, premium or interest that
would otherwise be due on this Security on such day (the “
Specified Day ”) may be paid or made available for
payment on the Business Day that is next succeeding the Specified
Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on
the Specified Day, and no interest will accrue on the amount so
payable for the period from the Specified Day to such next
succeeding Business Day.
As specified on
the face of this Security, one of the following Business Day
Conventions shall apply to any relevant date other than one that
falls on the date of Maturity of the principal hereof. If any such
date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business
Day:
(Face of Security continued on next
page)
-8-
(i) if the
Business Day Convention is “ Following ”, then
such date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business
Day;
(ii) if the
Business Day Convention is “ Modified Following
”, then such date will be postponed to the next day that is a
Business Day; provided that, if such next succeeding
Business Day falls in the next calendar month, then such date will
be advanced to the immediately preceding Business Day;
(iii) if the
Business Day Convention is “ Following Unadjusted
”, any payment due on such date will be postponed to the next
day that is a Business Day; provided that interest due with
respect to such Interest Payment Date shall not accrue from and
including such Interest Payment Date to and including such next
succeeding Business Day; and
(iv) if the
Business Day Convention is “ Modified Following
Unadjusted ”, any payment due on such date will be
postponed to the next day that is a Business Day; provided
that interest due with respect to such Interest Payment Date shall
not accrue from and including such Interest Payment Date to and
including such next succeeding Business Day, and provided
further that, if such next succeeding Business Day would
fall in the next succeeding calendar month, the date of payment
with respect to such Interest Payment Date will instead be advanced
to the immediately preceding Business Day.
The provisions of
the two immediately preceding paragraphs shall apply to this
Security in lieu of the provisions of Section 1.13 of the 2008
Indenture.
Reference is
hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on
the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the 2008
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the “ Securities ”)

Indenture, dated as of July 16, 2008 (herein called the
“ 2008 Indenture ”, which term shall have the
meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and
The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “
Trustee ”, which term includes any successor trustee
under the 2008 Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the 2008
Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of
rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered.
2.
Series and Denominations
This
Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof,
limited to an aggregate principal amount (or the equivalent thereof
in any other currency or currencies or currency units) as shall be
determined and may be increased from time to time by the Company.
References herein to “this series” mean the series of
Securities designated on the face hereof.
The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in “ Authorized Denominations ”,
which term shall have the following meaning. For each Security of
this series having a principal amount payable in U.S. dollars, the
Authorized Denominations shall be $1,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. For each Security of this series having a
principal amount payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, the Authorized Denominations shall be the amount of such
Specified Currency equivalent, at the Exchange Rate on the first
Business Day next preceding the date on which the Company accepts
the offer to purchase such Security, to $1,000 or any integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(a)
Interest Rate Reset . The interest rate on
this Security will be reset from time to time, as provided in this
Section 3, and each date upon which such rate is reset as so
provided is hereinafter called an “ Interest Reset
Date ”. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
the Interest Reset Dates with respect to this Security will be as
follows:
(i) if the
Interest Reset Period is daily, each Business Day;
(ii) if the
Interest Reset Period is weekly and the Base Rate is not the
Treasury Rate, the Wednesday of each week;
(Reverse of Security continued on
next page)
-11-
(iii) if the
Interest Reset Period is weekly and the Base Rate is the Treasury
Rate, except as otherwise provided in the definition of
“Treasury Interest Determination Date” in
Section 3(o) below, the Tuesday of each week;
(iv) if the
Interest Reset Period is monthly, the third Wednesday of each
month;
(v) if the
Interest Reset Period is quarterly, the third Wednesday of each
March, June, September and December;
(vi) if the
Interest Reset Period is semi-annual, the third Wednesday of each
of two months in each year specified under “Interest Reset
Period” on the face hereof; and
(vii) if the
Interest Reset Period is annual, the third Wednesday of the month
in each year specified under “Interest Reset Period” on
the face hereof;
provided , however , that (x) the Base Rate
in effect from and including the Original Issue Date to but
excluding the initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Base
Rate and (y) if the Interest Reset Period is daily or
weekly, the Base Rate in effect for each day following the
second Business Day immediately prior to an Interest Payment Date
to but excluding such Interest Payment Date, and for each day
following the second Business Day immediately prior to the day of
Maturity of the principal hereof to but excluding such day of
Maturity, will be the Base Rate in effect on such applicable second
Business Day; and provided , further , if so
specified, that any Interest Reset Date shall be subject to
adjustment as provided in the second paragraph under the heading
“Payments Due on a Business Day” on the face of this
Security.
Subject
to applicable provisions of law and except as otherwise specified
herein, on each Interest Reset Date the interest rate on this
Security shall be the rate determined in accordance with such of
the following Sections 3(b) through 3(k) as provide for
determination of the Base Rate for this Security. The Calculation
Agent shall determine the interest rate of this Security in
accordance with the applicable Section below.
Unless
the Base Rate is LIBOR or EURIBOR, the Calculation Agent will
determine the interest rate of this Security that takes effect on
any Interest Reset Date on a day no later than the Calculation Date
(as defined in Section 3(o) below) corresponding to such
Interest Reset Date. However, the Calculation Agent need not wait
until the Calculation Date to determine such interest rate if the
rate information it needs to make such determination in the manner
specified in the applicable provisions of Sections 3(b)
through 3(k) hereof is available from the relevant sources
specified in such applicable provisions.
(Reverse of Security continued on
next page)
-12-
Upon
request of the Holder to the Calculation Agent, the Calculation
Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect on this
Security and, if determined, the interest rate that will become
effective on the next Interest Reset Date.
(b)
Determination of CD Rate . If the Base Rate
specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the Base Rate that
takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate, on
the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset
Date (the “ CD Interest Determination Date ”),
for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit having the Index
Maturity as published in H.15(519) (as defined in Section 3(o)
below) opposite the heading “CDs (secondary market)”.
If the CD Rate cannot be determined as described above, the
following procedures will apply in determining the CD
Rate:
(i) If the rate
described above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such CD
Interest Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier
and the rate is available from that source at that time), then the
CD Rate shall be the rate described above as published in H.15
Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for
displaying that rate, under the heading “CDs (secondary
market)”.
(ii) If the rate
described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519),
H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date
(unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available
from one of those sources at that time), then the CD Rate shall be
the arithmetic mean of the following secondary market offered rates
for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit of major U.S.
money center banks having a remaining maturity closest to the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a Representative
Amount: the rates offered as of 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, on such CD Interest Determination Date, by three leading
nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit
in New York City, as selected by the Calculation Agent.
(iii) If fewer
than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as
described in clause (ii) above, the CD Rate will be the CD
Rate in effect on such CD Interest Determination Date (or, in the
case of the first Base Reset Date, the Initial Base
Rate).
(c)
Determination of CMS Rate . If the Base Rate
specified on the face hereof is the CMS Rate, the Base Rate that
takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the rate, on
the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset
Date (the “ CMS Interest Determination Date ”),
appearing on the Reuters Screen ISDAFIX2 Page under the heading
“EURIBOR Basis-EUR” or “LIBOR Basis-EUR”,
for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, at
10:00 A.M., London time. If the CMS
(Reverse of Security continued on
next page)
-13-
Rate cannot be
determined as described above, the following procedures will apply
in determining the CMS Rate:
(i) If the rate
described above does not appear on Reuters ISDAFIX2 page under the
appropriate heading for the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof at 10:00 A.M., London time, on the Calculation Date
corresponding to such CMS Interest Determination Date, unless the
calculation is made earlier and the rate is available from that
source at that time, then the CMS rate will be determined on the
basis of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations provided
by five leading swap dealers in the London interbank market at
approximately 10:00 A.M., London time, on the CMS Interest
Determination Date. For this purpose, the 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 euro interest rate swap transaction with a term
equal to such Index Maturity commencing on the CMS Interest
Determination Date 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 EURIBOR (in the case of
EURIBOR Basis-EUR) or LIBOR (in the case of LIBOR Basis-EUR) with a
maturity of three months, as such rate may be determined as
provided in Section 3(f). The Calculation Agent will select the
five swap dealers in its sole discretion and will request the
principal London office of each of those dealers to provide a
quotation of its rate.
(ii) If at least
three quotations are provided, the CMS Rate for the CMS Interest
Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations,
eliminating the highest and lowest quotations or, in the event of
equality, one of the highest and one of the lowest
quotations.
(iii) If fewer
than three quotations are provided, the Calculation Agent will
determine the CMS Rate in its sole discretion.
(d)
Determination of CMT Rate . If the Base Rate
specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the Base Rate that
takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the CMT Rate on
the second Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset
Date (the “ CMT Interest Determination Date ”).
“ CMT Rate ” means the following rate as
published in H.15(519) opposite the heading “Treasury
constant maturities”, as the yield is displayed on the
Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page (as defined in Section 3(o)
below) under the heading “ . . . Treasury Constant Maturities
. . .”, under the column for the Designated CMT Index
Maturity (as defined in Section 3(o) below):
(x) if the
Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page is the Reuters Screen FRBCMT
Page, the rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date;
or
(Reverse of Security continued on
next page)
-14-
(y) if the
Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page is the Reuters Screen FEDCMT
Page, the weekly or monthly average, as specified on the face
hereof, for the week that ends immediately before the week in which
such CMT Interest Determination Date falls, or for the month that
ends immediately before the month in which such CMT Interest
Determination Date falls, as applicable.
If the CMT Rate
cannot be determined as described above, the following procedures
will apply in determining the CMT Rate:
(i) If the
applicable rate described above is not displayed on the relevant
Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page at 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date corresponding to such CMT Interest
Determination Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the
rate is available from that source at that time), then the CMT Rate
will be the applicable Treasury constant maturity rate described
above — i . e ., for the Designated CMT
Index Maturity and for either such CMT Interest Determination Date
or the weekly or monthly average, as applicable — as
published in H.15(519).
(ii) If the
applicable rate described in clause (i) above does not appear
in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such
Calculation Date (unless the calculation is made earlier and the
rate is available from that source at that time), then the CMT Rate
will be the Treasury constant maturity rate, or other U.S. Treasury
rate, for the Designated CMT Index Maturity and with reference to
such CMT Interest Determination Date, that:
(A) is published
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the
U.S. Department of the Treasury, and
(B) is determined
by the Calculation Agent to be comparable to the applicable rate
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Screen Page and
published in H.15(519).
(iii) If the rate
described in clause (ii) above does not appear in H.15(519) at
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date
(unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available
from that source at that time), then the CMT Rate will be the yield
to maturity of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary
market offered rates for the most recently issued Treasury Notes
(as defined in Section 3(o) below) having an original maturity
of approximately the Designated CMT Index Maturity, having a
remaining term to maturity of not less than the Designated CMT
Index Maturity minus one year and in a Representative Amount: the
offered rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City
time, on such CMT Interest Determination Date, of three primary
U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the
Calculation Agent. In selecting such offered rates, the Calculation
Agent will request
(Reverse of Security continued on

-15-
quotations from
five such primary dealers and will disregard the highest
quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the
highest — and the lowest quotation — or, if
there is equality, one of the lowest.
(iv) If the
Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three quotations of the kind
described in clause (iii) above, the CMT Rate will be the
yield to maturity of the arithmetic mean of the following secondary
market offered rates for Treasury Notes having an original maturity
longer than the Designated CMT Index Maturity, having a remaining
term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Index Maturity and
in a Representative Amount: the offered rates, as of approximately
3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Interest
Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities
dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent. In
selecting such offered rates, the Calculation Agent will request
quotations from five such primary dealers and will disregard the
highest quotation — or, if there is equality, one of the
highest — and the lowest quotation — or, if
there is equality, one of the lowest. If two Treasury Notes with an
original maturity longer than the CMT Designated Index Maturity
have remaining terms to maturity that are equally close to the
Designated CMT Index Maturity, the Calculation Agent will obtain
quotations for the Treasury Notes with the shorter original term to
maturity.
(v) If fewer than
five but more than two such primary dealers are quoting as
described in clause (iv) above, then the CMT Rate for such CMT
Interest Determination Date will be based on the arithmetic mean of
the offered rates so obtained, and neither the highest nor the
lowest of such quotations will be disregarded.
(vi) If two or
fewer primary dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting
as described in clause (v) above, the CMT Rate shall be the
CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Interest Determination Date (or, in
the case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base
Rate).
(e)
Determination of Commercial Paper Rate . If
the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper
Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date
shall equal the Money Market Yield (as defined in Section 3(o)
below) of the rate, for the second Business Day immediately
preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “ Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date ”), for commercial paper
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as
published in H.15(519) opposite the heading “Commercial Paper
— Nonfinancial”. If the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be
determined as described above, the following procedures will apply
in determining the Commercial Paper Rate:
(i) If the rate
described above does not appear in H.15(519) at 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined in
Section 3(o)
(Reverse of Security continued on

below)
corresponding to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date
(unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available
from that source at that time), then the Commercial Paper Rate will
be the rate, for such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date,
for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof, as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined in
Section 3(o) below) or any other recognized electronic source
used for displaying that rate, opposite the heading
“Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial”.
(ii) If the rate
described in clause (i) above does not appear in H.15(519),
H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source at
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date
(unless the calculation is made earlier and the rate is available
from one of those sources at that time), the Commercial Paper Rate
will be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the
following offered rates for U.S. dollar commercial paper that has
the Index Maturity and is placed for an industrial issuer whose
long-term bond rating is “AA”, or the equivalent, from
a nationally recognized rating agency: the rates offered as of
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date by three leading U.S. dollar commercial
paper dealers in New York City selected by the Calculation
Agent.
(iii) If fewer
than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as
described in clause (ii) above, the Commercial Paper Rate
shall be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial
Paper Interest Determination Date (or, in the case of the first
Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base Rate).
(f)
Determination of EURIBOR . If the Base Rate
specified on the face hereof is EURIBOR, the Base Rate that takes
effect on any Interest Reset Date shall equal the interest rate for
deposits in euros designated as “EURIBOR” and sponsored
jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The
Financial Markets Association (or any company established by the
joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing that rate)
on the second Euro Business Day (as defined in Section 3(o)
below) before such Interest Reset Date (a “ EURIBOR
Interest Determination Date ”), and will be determined in
accordance with the following provisions:
(i) EURIBOR will
be the offered rate for deposits in euros having the Index Maturity
beginning on such Interest Reset Date, as that rate appears on the
Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 A.M., Brussels time,
on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date.
(ii) If the rate
described in clause (i) above does not so appear on the
Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page, EURIBOR will be determined on the
basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 A.M., Brussels
time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, at which
deposits of the following kind are offered to prime
(Reverse of Security continued on

Euro-Zone (as defined in Section 3(o) below) interbank market
by the principal Euro-Zone office of each of four major banks in
that market selected by the Calculation Agent: euro deposits having
the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof beginning on such
Interest Reset Date and in a Representative Amount. The Calculation
Agent will request the principal Euro-Zone office of each of these
banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two
quotations are provided, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest
Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such
quotations.
(iii) If fewer
than two quotations are provided as described in clause (ii)
above, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be
the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind to
leading Euro-Zone banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M.,
Brussels time, on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, by
three major banks in the Euro-Zone selected by the Calculation
Agent: loans of euros having the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof beginning on such Interest Reset Date and in a
Representative Amount.
(iv) If fewer than
three banks selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as
described in clause (iii) above, EURIBOR shall be the EURIBOR
in effect on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date (or, in the
case of the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Base
Rate).
(g)
Determination of Federal Funds Rate . If the
Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds
(Effective) Rate, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest
Reset Date shall equal the rate, on the second Business Day
immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date (the “
Federal Funds Interest Determination Date ”),
as published in H.15(519) opposite the heading “Federal funds
(effective)”, as that rate is displayed on the Reuters Screen
FEDFUNDS1 Page under the heading “EFFECT”. If the
Federal Funds (Effective) Rate cannot be determined as described
above, the following procedures will apply in determining the
Federal Funds (Effective) Rate:
(i) If the rate
described above is not displayed on the Reuters Screen FEDFUNDS1
Page at 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
corresponding to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date

from that source at that time), then the Federal Funds (Effective)
Rate will be the rate described above as published in H.15 Daily
Update, or another recognized electronic source used for displaying
that rate, opposite the heading “Federal funds
(effective)”.
(ii) If the rate
described in clause (i) above is not displayed on the Reuters
Screen FEDFUNDS1 Page and does not appear in H.15(519), H.15 Daily
Update or another recognized electronic source at 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on such Calculation Date (unless the calculation is
made earlier and the rate
(Reverse of Security continued on
next page)
-18-
is available
from one of those sources at that time), the Federal Funds
(Effective) Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the
last transaction in overnight, U.S. dollar federal funds arranged,
before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds
Interest Determination Date, by three leading brokers of U.S.
dollar federal funds transactions in New York City selected by the
