GS Finance Corp., 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 GSFC 2008 Indenture), 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 GSFC 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 15th 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 GSFC 2008 Indenture. For the purpose of determining a Holder at the close of business on any relevant record date when business is not being conducted, the close of business will mean 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on that day.

Currency of Payment

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

(Face of Security continued on next page)

-5-

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 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.

(Face of Security continued on next page)

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 GSFC 2008 Indenture or this Security.

Manner of Payment — U.S. Dollars

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

(Face of Security continued on next page)

-7-

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 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 GSFC 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 GSFC 2008 Indenture.

Payments Due on a Business Day

Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the GSFC 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 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:

(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 113 of the GSFC 2008 Indenture.

GUARANTEE

Capitalized terms used in this Guarantee that are not defined herein but that are defined in the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed or the GSFC 2008 Indenture referred to in such Security are used herein as defined therein.

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor Person under the GSFC 2008 Indenture), for value received, hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Security when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of the GSFC 2008 Indenture. In case of the failure of GS Finance Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the GSFC 2008 Indenture), punctually to make any such payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or the GSFC 2008 Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or the GSFC 2008 Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, change any redemption provisions thereof (including any change to increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof) or change the Stated Maturity of any payment thereon.

The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or the Holder of such Security exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged in respect of such Security except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in this

Guarantee. This Guarantee shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Security, whether at its Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the GSFC 2008 Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder with respect to such Security shall be continuing and irrevocable until the date upon which the entire principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Security has been, or has been deemed pursuant to the provisions of Article Four of the GSFC 2008 Indenture to have been, paid in full or otherwise discharged.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the GSFC 2008 Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities issued under the GSFC 2008 Indenture shall have been paid in full.

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue notwithstanding any petition filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, the Company becoming insolvent or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee being appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Holder of such Security, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned on such Security, such Security shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed paid only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the GSFC 2008 Indenture.

All terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in the GSFC 2008 Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in such GSFC 2008 Indenture.

(Reverse of Security)

1. Securities and the GSFC 2008 Indenture

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of October 10, 2008 (herein called the “GSFC 2008 Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), among the Company, as Issuer, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as Guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor guarantor under the GSFC 2008 Indenture) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the GSFC 2008 Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the GSFC 2008 Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, 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 initial offering price (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.

3. Interest Rate

(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;

(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

-16-

(ii) if the Interest Reset Period is weekly and the Base Rate is not the Treasury Rate, the Wednesday of each week;

(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)

(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

-17-

through 3(k) hereof is available from the relevant sources specified in such applicable provisions.

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”,

(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

-18-

for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, at 10:00 A.M., London time. If the CMS 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)

-19-

(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 quotations from five such primary dealers and will disregard the highest quotation

(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

-20-

— 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”.

(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).

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

Any of the interest rates determined in accordance with Sections 3(b) — (k) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof or by multiplying such Base Rate by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

(l) Minimum and Maximum Limits.

Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date or at the Maturity of the principal hereof will include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the date of such Maturity, as the case may be. Accrued interest from the date of issue or from the last date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent by multiplying the Principal Amount by an accrued interest factor for the specified Interest Period. Such accrued interest factor shall be expressed as a decimal and computed by multiplying the interest rate (also expressed as a decimal) in effect on the applicable period by the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof for such Interest Period.

All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the next higher or lower one

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent or the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company. Neither the Calculation Agent nor the Exchange Rate Agent shall have any liability therefor.

(o) Definitions of Calculation Terms. As used in this Security, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

“Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield expressed as a percentage and calculated in accordance with the following formula:


Bond Equivalent Yield =	D x N	x 100,

	360 - (D x M)

where

	•		“D” equals the annual rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal;

	•		“N” equals 365 or 366, as the case may be; and

	•		“M” equals the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period.
