If the Maturity Date of this Note falls on a day which is not a Market Day, payment of principal and any premium or interest need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Market Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the due date, and no interest shall accrue with respect to the payment due on such date. Interest on this Note shall accrue (a) if the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be adjusted monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, as specified above under "Interest Reset Period" and as determined in accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof, from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of this Note to which interest has been paid, unless the date hereof is an Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, in which case from the date of this Note, or unless no interest has been paid on this Note, in which case from the Original Issue Date specified above, until payment of the principal sum has been made or duly provided for or (b) if the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be adjusted daily or weekly, as specified above under "Interest Reset Period" and as determined in accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof, from the last date to which interest has been paid, unless the date hereof is a Regular Record Date through which interest has been paid, in which case from the day after the date of this Note, or unless no interest has been paid on this Note, in which case from the Original Issue Date specified above, until payment of the principal sum has been made or duly provided for. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date of this Note is after any Regular Record Date preceding any Interest Payment Date and before such Interest Payment Date, interest on this Note shall accrue from such Interest Payment Date unless the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be adjusted daily or weekly, as provided above under "Interest Reset Period" and as determined in accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof, in which case interest on this Note shall accrue from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to and including such Regular Record Date, or, in either case, if no interest has been paid on this Note, from the Original Issue Date specified above. Subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, the interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest next preceding each Interest Payment Date, and interest payable at Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom said principal sum is payable; provided, however, that the first payment of interest on a Note originally issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the registered owner on such next succeeding Regular Record Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor and terms shall be entitled to receive interest payments (other than at Maturity) by wire transfer in immediately available funds, but only if appropriate instructions have been received in writing by the Paying Agent (as defined below) on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date for such payment of interest.

[SEAL] [Form of Reverse of Floating Rate Note] HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INCORPORATED MEDIUM-TERM FLOATING RATE NOTE, SERIES B Due From Nine Months to 30 Years From Date of Issue This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Medium-Term Notes of the Company (hereinafter called the "Notes"), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 25, 1994 (as supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Company to The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association), as Trustee (hereinafter called the "Trustee"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face, limited in aggregate principal amount to $750,000,000. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the rate of interest on this Note will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually (such period being the "Interest Reset Period", and the first day of each Interest Reset Period being an "Interest Reset Date"). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Reset Date will be, in case this Note resets daily, each Market Day; in case this Note resets weekly (unless the Treasury Rate is specified as the Interest Rate Basis on the face hereof), the Wednesday of each week; in case of Treasury Rate Notes which reset weekly, the Tuesday of each week, except as provided below; in case this Note resets monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; in case this Note resets quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September, and December; in case this Note resets semi-annually, the third Wednesday of each of two months of each year which are six months apart, as specified on the face hereof; and in case this Note resets annually, the third Wednesday of one month of each year, as specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Rate in effect for ten calendar days immediately prior to Maturity will be that in effect on the tenth day preceding such Maturity. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Market Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Market Day, except that if the Interest Rate Basis of this Note is LIBOR and if such Market Day is the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Market Day. Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date, the rate of interest on this Note shall be the rate determined with respect to the Interest Determination Date next preceding such Interest Reset Date in accordance with the provisions of the applicable heading below. The "Interest Determination Date" pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Commercial Paper Rate Notes, Prime Rate Notes, CD Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes, and CMT Notes, will be the second Market Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note will be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills would normally be auctioned; provided, however, that if, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the Friday preceding the Interest Reset Date, such Friday will be the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week; provided, further, that if an auction falls on a day that is an Interest Reset Date, such Interest Reset Date will be the first Market Day immediately following such auction date. The "Calculation Date" pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Market Day, the next succeeding Market Day, or (ii) the Market Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, except that, if the Interest Rate Basis is LIBOR, the Calculation Date pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be such Interest Determination Date. Determination of Commercial Paper Rate -------------------------------------- If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate shall equal, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, the Money Market Yield (calculated as described below) of the per annum rate (quoted on a bank discount basis) on the relevant Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the specified Index Maturity as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)") under the heading "Commercial Paper." In the event that such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the Money Market Yield of such rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the specified Index Maturity as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its daily statistical release, "Composite 3:30 P.M. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or any successor publication published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("Composite Quotations") under the heading "Commercial Paper". If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered per annum rates (quoted on a bank discount basis), as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the specified Index Maturity placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA", or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on this Note shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula: Money Market Yield = 100 x 360 x D --------- 360-(D x M) where "D" refers to the per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated. Determination of Prime Rate --------------------------- If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the interest rate shall equal, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, the rate set forth for the relevant Interest Determination Date in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan". In the event that such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the display designated as page "USPRIME1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks) ("Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page") as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates (quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year) as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if fewer than three banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on this Note shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of LIBOR ---------------------- If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR Reuters or LIBOR Telerate, the interest rate, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be either: (a) if LIBOR Reuters is specified on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in U.S. dollars having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two such offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof) or no rate appears (if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof), LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in clause (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof) or no rate appears (if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof), the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative of a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the city of New York on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof and in a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on this Note shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars. If neither LIBOR Reuters or LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face hereof, LIBOR will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate had been specified. Determination of Treasury Rate ------------------------------ If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Treasury Rate, the interest rate shall equal, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, the rate for the auction on the relevant Interest Determination Date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury bills") having the specified Index Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction Average (Investment)" or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, the auction average rate (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) for such auction as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of such auction of Treasury bills having the specified Index Maturity are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if no such auction is held during such week, then the Treasury Rate shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for the relevant Interest Determination Date for the specified Index Maturity under the heading "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market." In the event such rate is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity closest to the specified Index Maturity; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as provided above by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on this Note shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CD Rate ------------------------ If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is CD Rate, the interest rate shall equal, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, the rate for the relevant Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the specified Index Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)." In the event that such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then the CD Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the specified Index Maturity as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Certificates of Deposit." If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the CD Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates, as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers of negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks with a remaining maturity closest to the specified Index Maturity in a denomination of U.S. $5,000,000; provided, however, that if fewer that three dealers selected as provided above by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on this Note shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of Federal Funds Rate ----------------------------------- If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate shall equal, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, the rate on the relevant Interest Determination Date for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)." In the event that such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate." If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates, as of 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds arranged by each of three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if fewer than three brokers selected as provided above by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on this Note shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate ------------------------- If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is CMT Rate, the interest rate shall equal, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, the rate for the relevant Interest Determination Date displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption ". . . Treasury Constant Maturities . . . Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 . . . Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.," under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published, or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the relevant H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the on the relevant Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers (each, a "Reference Dealer") in The City of New York (which may include the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States ("Treasury notes") with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such Treasury notes quotations, the CMT Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least $100,000,000. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described herein, the CMT Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on this Note shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service on the page designated in an applicable Pricing Supplement (or any other page as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)), for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no such page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index," shall be the Index Maturity on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such Index Maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate per annum hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The Calculation Agent's determination of the interest rate on this Note shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holder of this Note in the absence of manifest error. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by Ohio law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date with respect to this Note. Interest payments hereon will include interest accrued from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be adjusted daily or weekly as specified on the face hereof under Interest Reset Period, interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, other than interest payable on any date on which principal hereof is payable, will include interest accrued from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to and including the Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that at Maturity the interest payable will include interest accrued to but excluding the Maturity Date. Accrued interest shall be calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the date of issue, or from the last date to which interest has been paid, to but excluding the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Commercial Paper Rate, Prime Rate, LIBOR, CD Rate, Federal Funds Rate, or CMT Rate or by the actual number of days in the year if the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Treasury Rate. In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. If so provided on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed by the Company on and after the date so indicated on the face hereof. On and after the date, if any, from which this Note may be redeemed, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the product of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed multiplied by the Redemption Percentage. The Redemption Percentage shall initially equal the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face of this Note, and shall decline at each anniversary of the initial date that this Note is redeemable by the amount of the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face of this Note, until the Redemption Percentage is equal to 100%. If so provided on the face of this Note, this Note will be repayable, at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note surrendered for partial repayment shall be at least $100,000) on any Business Day on or after the Initial Date On Which The Note Is Repayable At The Option Of The Holder specified on the face hereof, at the repayment amount specified on the face hereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the repayment date.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the places, at the respective times, and at the rate herein prescribed.
