THE XXXXXXXX AND XXXXXXXX COMPANY, an Ohio corporation (the "Company",
which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered
assigns, the principal sum of , on the Stated Maturity specified above (or any
Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof) (each
such Stated Maturity, Redemption Date or Repayment Date being hereinafter
referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable on
such 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,
and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) at the Default Rate per annum specified above on any overdue
principal, premium and/or interest. The Company will pay interest in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above (each, an "Interest Payment
Date"), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the
Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; provided,
however, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as
defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments
will commence on the second Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original
Issue Date to the registered holder of this Note (the "Holder") on the Record
Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Note
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
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".
Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for (or from and including the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid
or duly provided for) to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or
the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an "Interest Period"). The interest
so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date
will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in
whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the
close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day, as
defined below) of the month immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date
(the "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity
Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if
any, hereon 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 any Record Date, and shall be paid to the person in whose name this
Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the
"Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by
the Trustee (as defined on the reverse hereof), notice whereof shall be given to
the Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to
such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this
Note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this
Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon
presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable
repayment of this Note, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the
reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee ("Corporate Trust
Office") at Sixth and Marquette, Minneapolis, Minnesota or at its trust office
maintained for that purpose ("New York Window") in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, currently located at c/o Depository Trust Company, 00 Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, or at such other paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, as the Company may determine; provided, however, that if such payment
is to be made in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars as 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.

4
Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity
Date will be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained at the
aforementioned office of the Trustee; provided, however, that a holder of
U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency specified above is other than
United States dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more
in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or different
terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive interest payments on such
Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds if
appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the
Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any
such wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect
until revoked by such Xxxxxx.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any,
and/or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same
force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest
shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of
such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday
or a legal holiday in The City of New York, the City of Dayton, Ohio or the City
of Minneapolis on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law,
regulation or executive order to close; 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.
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, 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; provided, however, that the Holder of
this Note may elect to receive such amounts in such Specified Currency pursuant
to the provisions set forth below.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and 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 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.
3
5
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 Minneapolis or at its
New York Window in the Borough of Manhattan, 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, if any, 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, or is no
longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the
settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international
banking community, then 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;
provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single
European currency, the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if
any, on this Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new
single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken
pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community, as
amended by the treaty on European Unity. 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 or
a new single European currency where the required payment is in a Specified
Currency other than United States dollars or such single European currency,
respectively, 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, if any, 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 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
4
6
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 and, if so specified above, in the Addendum hereto,
which further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if set forth on
the face hereof.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
THE XXXXXXXX AND XXXXXXXX COMPANY
MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Fixed Rate)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Debt Securities (the
"Debt Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture,
dated as of December 18, 1996, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to
time (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as Trustee (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 statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is
one of the series of Debt Securities designated as "Medium- Term Notes" (the
"Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note specified on the face
hereof or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms
in the Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples thereof or the
minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following
two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated
Maturity.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on
any date on or after the Redemption Commencement Date, if any, specified on the
face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.$1,000
or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal
amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized
Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (each, a "Redemption
Date"), on notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to
the Redemption Date and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The
"Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage
specified on the face hereof multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this
Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage shall decline at each
anniversary of the Redemption Commencement Date by an amount equal to the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof until the
Redemption Price is equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount to be redeemed.
In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor
for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this
Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and
surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of
the Holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the
face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum
Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof
shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at a
repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount to be repaid,
together with unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date fixed for repayment
(each, a "Repayment Date"). For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be
received, together with the form hereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment"
duly completed, by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in the City of
Minneapolis or at its New York Window in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York (or at such other address of which the Company shall from time to time
designate and notify holders of the Notes) not more than 60 nor less than 30
calendar days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by
the Holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in
part only,
1
9
a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having
the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof
upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If this is a Global Security representing Book-Entry Notes, only the
Depositary may exercise the repayment option in respect of this Note.
Accordingly, if this is a Global Security representing Book-Entry Notes and the
beneficial owner desires to have all or any portion of the Book-Entry Note
represented by this Global Security repaid, the beneficial owner must instruct
the Participant through which he owns his interest to direct the Depositary to
exercise the repayment option on his behalf by delivering this Note and duly
completed election form to the Trustee as aforesaid.
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
(i) 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 (ii) 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.
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire
indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default with
respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
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 Debt Securities at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Securities at the time
outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on behalf of the
holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture
permit the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain instances, to
waive, on behalf of all of the holders of Debt Securities of such series,
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 other Notes issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange heretofore or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Note.

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 principal, premium, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
and herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security
Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer
at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal hereof
and any premium or interest hereon are payable, 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 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.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
and herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the
same terms and conditions, as requested by the Holder hereof surrendering the
same.
No service charge shall 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, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner thereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The internal laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture
and the Notes.
