registered assigns, the Principal sum of ____________________________ DOLLARS on
the Stated Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent redeemed or
repaid prior to the Stated Maturity Date), and to pay interest thereon at the
Interest Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or
duly made available for payment, semiannually on January 15 and June 15 (each,
an "Interest Payment Date") in each year commencing on the first Interest
Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, unless the
Original Issue Date occurs between a Regular Record Date (as defined below) and
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, in which case commencing on the
second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Original Issue Date, to the Holder
(as defined below) of such Note on the Regular Record Date with respect to such
Interest Payment Date, and on the Stated Maturity Date shown above (or any
Redemption Date as defined on the reverse hereof or any Holder's Optional
Repayment Date with respect to which such option has been exercised, each such
Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date and Optional Repayment Date being herein
referred to as a "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable on such
date). Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has
been paid, from the Original Issue Date specified above, until the principal
hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment. If the Maturity Date
or an Interest Payment Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day (as
defined below), principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, payable with
respect to such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date will be paid on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, and no interest on
each payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or
Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions,
be paid to the Person (the "Holder") in whose name this Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record
Date, which shall be the January 1 or June 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as
the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however,
-------- -------
that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the Person to whom
the principal hereof shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid
or duly provided for ("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable
to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person
in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) 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 referred to on the reverse hereof, notice
whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid
2
at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture (as defined on the reverse hereof).
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions
are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The
City of New York or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; provided, however, that if
-------- -------
the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and any payment is to
be made in the Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions hereof, such
day is also not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required
by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center
(as defined below) of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, in the
case of European Currency Units ("ECU"), is not a day that appears as an ECU
non-settlement day on the display designated as "ISDE" on the Xxxxxx Monitor
Money Rates Service (or a day so designated by the ECU Banking Association) or,
if ECU non-settlement days do not appear on that page (and are not so
designated), is not a day on which payments in ECU cannot be settled in the
international interbank market). "Principal Financial Center" means the capital
city of the country issuing the Specified Currency, except that with respect to
United States dollars, Australian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders,
Italian lire, Swiss francs and ECU, the "Principal Financial Center" shall be
The City of New York, Sydney, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan, Zurich and
Luxembourg, respectively.
Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this
Note will be made in immediately available funds at the corporate trust office
of Bankers Trust Company (the "Paying Agent") in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, or at such other agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, provided, however,
-------- -------
that if the Specified Currency specified above is other than United States
dollars and such payment is to be made in the Specified Currency in accordance
with the provisions set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the
holder hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided
that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note (and, if
applicable, a duly completed repayment election form) is presented and
surrendered at the aforementioned office of the Trustee in time for the Trustee
to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.
Payment of interest on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date
may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the
Holder as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, however,
-------- -------
that a Holder of not less than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount (or, if
the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the equivalent
thereof in the Specified Currency) of the Notes (whether having identical or
different terms
3
and provisions) may, by written notice to the Paying Agent at its corporate
trust office in The City of New York (or at such other address as the Company
shall give notice in writing) on or before the Regular Record Date preceding an
Interest Payment Date, arrange to have the interest payable on all Notes held by
such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, and all subsequent Interest Payment
Dates until written notice to the contrary is given to the Paying Agent, made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained at a bank
in The City of New York (or other bank consented to by the Company, which
consent may not be unreasonably withheld) as such Holder shall have designated;
provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, payments of principal of, and premiums, if any, and
interest, if any, on any Maturity Date will be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to a designated account maintained in the United
States upon (i) receipt of written notice by the Paying Agent from the Holder
hereof not less than one Business Day prior to such Maturity Date and (ii)
presentation of this Note at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or at such other agency of the
Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified
Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of the country which
issued the Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for
the payment of such debts). If the Specified Currency is other than United
States dollars, except as otherwise provided below, any such amounts so payable
by the Company will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into
United States dollars for payment to the holder of this Note.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the holder
of this Note may elect to receive such amounts in such Specified Currency. If
the holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a
specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest
in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, any United States dollar
amount to be received by the holder of this Note will be based on the highest
bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at
approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day
preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange
Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of
the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on such payment
date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of
Notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the
applicable dealer
4
commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the
holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid
quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the
Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the holder
of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of
principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the
Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the
Trustee at its corporate trust office in The City of New York on or prior to the
applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date,
as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or
sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. The holder of
this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments
in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election
will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but
written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or
prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the
Maturity Date, as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a
composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election
to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if
any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if
the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company
will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making
such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate
(as defined below) on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if
such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most
recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise specified on the face
hereof. The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon
dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified
Currency as certified for customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as
otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made
under such circumstances in United States dollars will not constitute an Event
of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and the holder of this
Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of
any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this
Note in the Specified Currency and if such composite currency is unavailable due
to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control
of the Company, then the Company will be entitled to
5
satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in
United States dollars. The amount of each payment in United States dollars
shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the equivalent of
the composite currency in United States dollars. The component currencies of
the composite currency for this purpose (collectively, the "Component
Currencies" and each, a "Component Currency") shall be the currency amounts that
were components of the composite currency as of the last day on which the
composite currency was used. The equivalent of the composite currency in United
States dollars shall be calculated by aggregating the United States dollar
equivalents of the Component Currencies. The United States dollar equivalent of
each of the Component Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent
on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such
Component Currency, or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of
combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component
Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more
Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of
those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such
single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component
Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is
divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the original Component
Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the
sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall
be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same effect as if set forth at this place.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or
"Other/Additional Provisions" apply to this Note as specified above, this Note
shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such
"Other/Additional Provisions."
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee under the Indenture by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
KEYSTONE FINANCIAL MID-ATLANTIC FUNDING CORP.
MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Senior Fixed Rate)
This Medium-Term Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (the
"Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under a Senior Indenture,
dated as of April __, 1997 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantor
(as defined below) and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee", which
term shall include any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Medium-Term Notes (the "Notes") may
bear different dates, mature at different times, bear interest at different
rates and vary in such other ways as are provided in the Indenture.
This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder on the
Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, indicated on the face hereof. If no
Optional Repayment Dates are set forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be
so repaid at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date.
On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part
in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal hereof shall be
at least $100,000) at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal
to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid together with accrued interest
thereon payable to the applicable Optional Repayment Date. For this Note to be
repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be
received, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly
completed, by the Paying Agent at its corporate trust office in The City of New
York, or at such other place or places as the Company shall from time to time
notify the Holders of the Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to
the applicable Optional Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by
the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable.
This Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company on any date on and
after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof (each
such date fixed for redemption, a "Redemption Date"). If no Initial Redemption
Date is set forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be redeemed at the
option of the Company prior to the Stated Maturity Date. On and after the
Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Note may be redeemed at any time in whole
or from time to time in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any
remaining principal hereof shall be at least $100,000) at the option of the
Company at the applicable Redemption
8
Price referred to below together with accrued interest thereon payable to the
Redemption Date, on notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to
the Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a
new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.
If this Note is redeemable at the option of the Company, the "Redemption
Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage, specified on the
face hereof, of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and shall
decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the
principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such
principal amount.
If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note as specified on the face
hereof, the amount payable to the holder of this Note in the event of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of
(1) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of
the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note
(if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (2) any unpaid
interest on this Note accrued from the Original Issue Date to the Redemption
Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be.
The difference between the Issue Price and 100% of the principal amount of this
Note is referred to herein as the "Discount."
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of
any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this
Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause the yield on the Note to be
constant. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day
year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as
defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment
Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period) and an assumption that
the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the
Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial Period")
is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of
the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial
Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided
into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period
being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.
Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as
9
the case may be. Interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Except as may be provided in the Indenture, if an Event of Default with
respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders
of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare
the principal of all the Notes due and payable in the manner and with the effect
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 Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of
each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the
Guarantor, and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66
2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of
each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of
all Securities of each series, to waive compliance by the Company or the
Guarantor 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.
The Guarantor, or a Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) thereof, may
directly assume, by a supplemental indenture, the due and punctual payment of
the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, all of the
Securities, in which case the Company shall be released from its liability as
obligor on the Securities.
The Indenture provides that the Company and the Guarantor, at their option,
(a) will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Notes
(except for certain obligations to register the transfer of or exchange Notes,
replace stolen, lost or mutilated Notes and maintain paying agencies) or (b)
need not comply with certain provisions of the Indenture, in each case if the
Company or the Guarantor deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or U.S.
Government Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) which, with respect to U.S.
Government Obligations, through the payment of interest thereon and principal
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount in cash
sufficient to pay all the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities
on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such Notes,
and certain other conditions are satisfied.
10
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, and premium, if any, and
interest, if any, on, this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register
of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the
corporate trust office of Bankers Trust Company, as Security Registrar, in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or at such other agency of the
Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Company, and this Note duly executed by, the Holder
hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing and thereupon one or more
new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum
denominations of $100,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral
multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes in authorized denominations, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer or
exchange, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company,
the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent thereof shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made
and to be performed in such State.
All terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the Indenture.
