mentioned.
2. Calculations and Information Provided. In response to a
request made by the Trustee for a determination of the Maturity Payment Amount
due at Stated Maturity of the Securities, the Redemption Payment Amount and the

Amount and notify the Trustee of its determination. The Calculation Agent shall
also be responsible for (a) the determination of the Closing Level of the
Basket, (b) whether adjustments to the Multipliers should be made and (c)
whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. The Calculation Agent shall
notify the Trustee of any such adjustment or if a Market Disruption Event has

assume any obligation toward, or any relationship of agency or trust
for or with, any of the holders of the Securities;
(ii) unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any
order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication

hereinafter provided. The Calculation Agent hereunder may be removed at any time
by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the

in writing, filed with the successor Calculation Agent. Upon the appointment as

appointment, the Calculation Agent so superseded shall cease to be Calculation
Agent hereunder.

ANNEX A
The Basket Securities.
The Basket is a group of five common stocks of the following
corporations: Affymetrix Inc., Amgen Inc., Human Genome Sciences Inc.,
Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. and The Chase Manhattan Corporation unless
adjusted for certain extraordinary corporate events as described herein (the
ABasket Securities@).
2. Determination of the Payment Amount.
The Calculation Agent shall determine the Payment Amount payable for
each Security.
The amount payable at Stated Maturity for each $1,000 principal amount
of Securities (the AMaturity Payment Amount@) shall equal (i) the greater of (a)
$1,000 and (b) the Alternative Redemption Amount and (ii) any accrued but unpaid
interest through the Stated Maturity. The amount payable upon a Redemption of
each $1,000 principal amount of Securities (the ARedemption Payment Amount@)
shall equal (i) the greater of (a) $1,000 and (b) the Alternative Redemption
Amount and (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest through the Non-Delaying Event
Redemption Date or, if a Delaying Event occurs, through the Delaying Event
Redemption Date. The amount payable upon a Repurchase of each $1,000 principal
amount of Securities (the ARepurchase Payment Amount@) shall equal (i) the
Alternative Redemption Amount and (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest through
the Non-Delaying Event Repurchase Date or, if a Delaying Event occurs, through
the Delaying Event Repurchase Date.
The Basket Level used to calculate the Alternative Redemption Amount
shall be determined by the Calculation Agent.
Multipliers.
The Multiplier relating to each Basket Security is the number of shares
(including fractional shares, expressed as a decimal) of such Basket Security
included in the Basket. The initial Multipliers relating to the initial Basket
Securities on a U.S. dollar weighted basis are set forth below opposite the name
of the issuer of such Basket Security:
Basket Security Initial Multiplier
Affymetrix Inc. 0.06999
Amgen Inc. 0.27511
<PAGE>
Human Genome Sciences Inc. 0.09604
Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. 0.06969
The Chase Manhattan Corporation 0.25998
The Multipliers with respect to each Basket Security shall remain constant
unless adjusted for certain extraordinary corporate events as described below.
Each Multiplier shall be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.
4. Adjustments to the Multipliers and the Basket.
Adjustments to a Multiplier and the Basket shall be made in the
circumstances described below. For purposes of the following adjustments, except
as noted below, American Depositary Receipts (AADRs@) shall be treated like
common stock if a comparable adjustment to the foreign shares underlying the
ADRs is made pursuant to the terms of the depositary arrangement for the ADRs or
if holders of ADRs are entitled to receive property in respect of the underlying
foreign share.
(a) If a Basket Security is subject to a stock split or reverse stock
split, then once the split has become effective, the Multiplier relating to such
Basket Security shall be adjusted. The Multiplier shall be adjusted to equal the
product of the number of shares outstanding of the Basket Security after the
split with respect to each share of such Basket Security immediately prior to
effectiveness of the split and the prior Multiplier.
(b) If a Basket Security is subject to an extraordinary stock dividend
or extraordinary stock distribution that is given equally to all holders of
shares, then once the Basket Security is trading ex-dividend, the Multiplier for
such Basket Security shall be increased by the product of the number of shares
of such Basket Security issued with respect to one share of such Basket Security
and the prior Multiplier.
(c) If the issuer of a Basket Security, or if a Basket Security is an
ADR, the foreign issuer of the underlying foreign share, is being liquidated or
dissolved or is subject to a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, such Basket Security shall continue to be
included in the Basket so long as the primary exchange, trading system or market
is reporting a market price for the Basket Security. If a market price,
including a price on a bulletin board service, is no longer available for a
Basket Security, then the value of the Basket Security shall equal zero for so
long as no market price is available, and no attempt shall be made to find a
replacement stock or increase the level of the Basket to compensate for the
deletion of such Basket Security.
(d) If the issuer of a Basket Security, or if a Basket Security is an
ADR, the foreign issuer of the underlying foreign share, has been subject to a
merger or consolidation and is not the surviving entity and holders of the
Basket Security are entitled to receive cash, securities, other property or a
combination thereof in exchange for the Basket Security, then the following
shall be included in the Basket:
<PAGE>
(i) To the extent cash is received, the Basket shall include
the amount of the cash consideration at the time holders are entitled
to receive the cash consideration (the AM&A Cash Component@), plus
accrued interest. If the cash received is denominated in a foreign
currency, such cash shall then be converted into U.S. dollars using the
Official W.M. Reuters Spot Closing Rate at 11:00 a.m., New York City
time. If there are several quotes for the Official W.M. Reuters Spot
Closing Rate at that time, the first quoted rate starting at 11:00 a.m.
shall be the rate used. If there is no such Official W.M. Reuters Spot
Closing Rate for a country=s currency at 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, the foreign currency-denominated cash shall be converted into
U.S. dollars using the last available U.S. dollar cross-rate quote
before 11:00 a.m., New York City time. Interest shall accrue beginning
the first London Business Day after the day that holders receive the
cash consideration until the Stated Maturity (the AM&A Cash Component
Interest Accrual Period@). Interest shall accrue on the M&A Cash
Component at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate
(ALIBOR@) with a term corresponding to the M&A Cash Component Interest
Accrual Period.
(ii) To the extent that equity securities that are traded or
listed on an exchange, trading system or market are received, once the
exchange for the new securities has become effective, the former Basket
Security shall be removed from the Basket and the new security shall be
added to the Basket as a new Basket Security. The Multiplier for the
new Basket Security shall equal the product of the last value of the
Multiplier of the original Basket Security and the number of securities
of the new Basket Security exchanged with respect to one share of the
original Basket Security.
(iii) To the extent that equity securities that are not traded
or listed on an exchange, trading system or market or non-equity
securities or other property (other than cash) is received, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the AFair Market Value@ of the
securities or other property received based on the Average Execution
Price. The Basket shall include an amount of cash equal to the product
of the Multiplier of the Basket Security and the Fair Market Value (the
AM&A Sale Component@). The Basket shall also include accrued interest
on the M&A Sale Component. Interest shall accrue beginning the first
London Business Day after the day that an affiliate of Holdings sells
the securities or other property used to hedge Holdings= obligations
under the Securities until the Stated Maturity (the AM&A Sale Component
Interest Accrual Period@). Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to
LIBOR with a term corresponding to the M&A Sale Component Interest
Accrual Period.
(e) If all of the shares of a Basket Security of an issuer are
converted into or exchanged for the same or a different number of shares of any
class or classes of common stock other than such Basket Security, whether by
capital reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification or otherwise, then,
once the conversion has become effective, the former Basket Security shall be
removed from the Basket and the new common stock shall be added to the Basket as
a new Basket Security. The Multiplier for each new Basket Security shall equal
the product of the last value of the Multiplier of the original Basket Security
<PAGE>
and the number of shares of the new Basket Security issued with respect to one
share of the original Basket Security.
(f) If the issuer of a Basket Security, or if a Basket Security is an
ADR, the issuer of the underlying foreign share, issues to all of its
shareholders common stock or another equity security that is traded or listed on
an exchange, trading system or market of an issuer other than itself, then the
new common stock or other equity security shall be added to the Basket as a new
Basket Security. The multiplier for the new Basket Security shall equal the
product of the last value of the Multiplier with respect to the original Basket
Security and the number of shares of the new Basket Security with respect to one
share of the original Basket Security.
(g) If an ADR is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a United
States securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
or is no longer a security quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., then the
foreign share underlying the ADR shall be deemed to be a new common stock added
to the Basket as a new Basket Security. The initial Multiplier for that new
Basket Security shall equal the product of the last value of the Multiplier with
respect to the original ADR and the number of underlying foreign shares
represented by a single such ADR.
(g) If a Basket Security is subject to an extraordinary dividend or an
extraordinary distribution, including upon liquidation or dissolution, of cash,
equity securities that are not traded or listed on an exchange, trading system
or market, non-equity securities or other property of any kind which is received
equally by all holders of such Basket Security, then the Basket shall include
the following:
(i) To the extent cash is entitled to be received, the Basket
shall include on each day after the time that the Basket Security
trades ex-dividend until the date the cash consideration is entitled to
be received, the present value of the cash to be received, discounted
at a rate equal to LIBOR, with a term beginning that day and ending on
the date that the cash is entitled to be received (the "PV
Extraordinary Cash Component"). When the cash consideration is
received, the PV Extraordinary Cash Component shall be deleted from the
Basket and the Basket shall include the amount of the cash
consideration (the "Extraordinary Cash Component"), plus accrued
interest. If the cash consideration received or entitled to be received
is denominated in a foreign currency, such cash or the present value of
such cash, as the case may be, shall be converted into U.S. dollars
using the Official W.M. Reuters Spot Closing Rate at 11:00 a.m., New
York City time. If there are several quotes for the Official W.M.
Reuters Spot Closing Rate at that time, the first quoted rate starting
at 11:00 a.m. shall be the rate used. If there is no such Official W.M.
Reuters Spot Closing Rate for a country's currency at 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, the foreign currency-denominated cash shall be
converted into U.S. dollars using the last available U.S. dollar
cross-rate quote before 11:00 a.m., New York City time. Interest shall
accrue on the Extraordinary Cash Component beginning the first London
Business Day after the day that holders are entitled to receive the
Extraordinary Cash Component until the Stated Maturity (the
"Extraordinary Cash Component Interest Accrual Period"). Interest shall
accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to the
Extraordinary Cash Component Interest Accrual Period.
<PAGE>
(ii) To the extent that equity securities that are not traded
or listed on an exchange, trading system or market or non-equity
securities or other property (other than cash) is received, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Fair Market Value of the
securities or other property received based on the Average Execution
Price and the Basket shall include an amount of cash equal to the
product of the Multiplier of the Basket Security and the Fair Market
Value (the "Extraordinary Sale Component"). The Basket shall also
include accrued interest on the Extraordinary Sale Component. Interest
shall accrue beginning the first London Business Day after the day that
an affiliate of Holdings sells the securities or other property used to
hedge Holdings' obligations under the Securities until the Stated
Maturity (the "Extraordinary Sale Component Interest Accrual Period").
Interest shall accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term
corresponding to Extraordinary Sale Component Interest Accrual Period.
The payment of an ordinary cash dividend by an issuer of a Basket
Security, or if a Basket Security is an ADR, by the issuer of the underlying
foreign share, from current income or retained earnings shall not result in an
adjustment to the Multiplier.
No adjustments of any Multiplier of a Basket Security shall be required
unless the adjustment would require a change of at least .1% (.001) in the
Multiplier then in effect. The Multiplier resulting from any of the adjustments
specified above shall be rounded at the Calculation Agent=s discretion.

[Form of Reverse of Security]
This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities
of the Company designated as Notes Due February 24, 2007, -Performance Linked to
a Basket of Five U.S. Stocks (herein called the "Securities"). This series of
Securities is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the
Company, issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of September 1,
1987, as amended (herein called the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by
the Company and Citibank N.A., as trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description
of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities.
The Securities are not redeemable prior to February 15, 2002.
The Securities may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, as a whole or from
time to time in part, after February 15, 2002 (the "Redemption"), and prior to
the Stated Maturity, upon the notice referred to below, at a redemption price,
for each $1,000 principal amount of the Securities redeemed, equal to (i) the
greater of (a) $1,000 and (b) the Alternative Redemption Amount and (ii) any
accrued but unpaid interest through the Non-Delaying Event Redemption Date (the
"Redemption Payment Amount").
Notice of Redemption shall be given by mailing a notice to the
Holders of such Redemption (the "Redemption Notice") in accordance with the
Indenture. A Redemption shall occur on the Non-Delaying Event Redemption Date
or, if a Delaying Event occurs, on the Delaying Event Redemption Date.
The Securities will be repayable at the option of the Holder
thereof (the "Repurchase"), in whole or from time to time in part, after
February 15, 2002, at a price for each $1,000 principal amount of the Securities
repurchased, equal to (i) the Alternative Redemption Amount and (ii) any accrued
but unpaid interest through the Non-Delaying Event Repurchase Date (the
"Repurchase Payment Amount"). In order for the Holder to be repaid, the Company
must receive at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or at such other
address of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of the
Securities) on any Business Day after February 15, 2002 (i) this Security with
the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" set forth below duly completed or
(ii) unless the Holder is The Depository Trust Company or its nominee or a
successor securities depository or its nominee, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the
National Association of Securities Dealers or a commercial bank or a trust
company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the Holder of
this Security, the principal amount of this Security, the portion of this
Security to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being
exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Security together with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" set forth below duly completed, will be
received by the Company not later than five Business Days after the date of such
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter and this Security and form
duly completed are received by the Company by such fifth Business Day. Any such
election shall be irrevocable. All questions as to the validity, eligibility
(including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Security for repayment will be
determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding. A
<PAGE>
Repurchase shall occur on the Non-Delaying Event Repurchase Date or, if a
Delaying Event occurs, on the Delaying Event Repurchase Date.
The Basket Level used to calculate the Alternative Redemption
Amount shall be determined by the Calculation Agent.
All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to
the Securities will be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.
The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the
Calculation Agent of the Payment Amount and shall have no duty to make any such
determination.
This Security is not subject to any sinking fund.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall
occur and be continuing, the amounts payable on all of the Securities may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration
permitted under the Indenture will be equal to the Maturity Payment Amount
calculated as though the date of acceleration was the Stated Maturity.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and
the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66% in aggregate
principal amount of each series of Securities at the time Outstanding to be
affected (each series voting as a class), evidenced as in the Indenture
provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to, or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the
holders of the Securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) change the fixed maturity
of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium payable on
redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or interest
therein payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided,
without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change
the place of payment on any Security, or impair the right to institute suit for
payment on any Security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the
holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture,
without the consent of the holders of each Security so affected. It is also
provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the
maturity of any series of Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding may on behalf of
the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event
of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series and its consequences,
except a default in the payment of interest, if any or the principal of, or
premium if any, on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of
any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities
of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders and
<PAGE>
owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or
substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made
upon this Security or such other Securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal amount with
respect to this Security.
The Securities are issuable in denominations of $100,000 and
any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of
the Trustee may deem and treat the registered holder (the "Holder") hereof as
the absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon),
for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, and for all
other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All
such payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the
extent of the sum or sums paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for
moneys payable on this Security.
No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in
respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto
or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by
the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in
the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this
Security, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities of this series or of like tenor and of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
