The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” of this Note is April 18, 2008, or if such date is not a Business Day (as defined herein), the Business Day immediately preceding such date.

Exercise of such extension option by the Holder hereof shall be revocable during each day of such Notice Period until 12:00 noon,

New York City time, on the last Business Day in the Notice Period relating to the applicable election date, at which time such notice will become irrevocable.

If on any Election Date a Holder does not make an election to extend the maturity date of all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note, the principal amount of this Note for which such election was not made shall become due and payable on the Initial Stated Maturity Date or any Subsequent Stated Maturity Date (as defined below), if applicable, to which the maturity date of such principal amount shall have previously been extended. The principal amount of this Note for which such election is not exercised shall be represented by a new Merrill Lynch Extendible Monthly Security (a “New Note”), issued on the last Business Day of the applicable Notice Period in the Form of Exhibit A hereto. The New Note so issued shall have the same terms as this Note, except that it shall not be extendible, shall have a separate CUSIP number and its stated maturity date shall be the date that is 366 calendar days from and including such Election Date, or if such 366^th calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. The failure to elect to extend the maturity date of all or any portion of this Note shall be irrevocable and shall be binding upon any subsequent Holder of such notes.

To exercise the option to extend the maturity date of all or of any portion of this Note having a principal amount of $1,000 or any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof the Holder must deliver notice to the Trustee, during the applicable Notice Period for that Election Date. The new maturity date for the portion of this Note that has been so extended shall be the 366th calendar day from and including the 18th day of the next succeeding month immediately following such Election Date, provided that if such 366^th calendar day is not a Business Day, the new maturity date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day (a “Subsequent Stated Maturity Date”).

The date of such Final Stated Maturity Date and the date on which principal or an installment of principal is due and payable by declaration of acceleration pursuant to the Indenture is referred to hereinafter as a “Maturity” with respect to principal payable on such date.

To the extent that the Trustee has not received a duly completed “Option to Extend Maturity” form within the applicable election period in accordance with the terms of this Note as to all or part of the principal amount of this Note, the Trustee shall (a) issue a new Note in the form of Exhibit A hereto representing such principal amount and (b) reduce or cause to be reduced the outstanding principal amount of this Note by such amount.

“Election Date” means shall be the 18th calendar day of each month from April 2007 to March 2011 inclusive, whether or not such day is a Business Day.

Any such interest which is payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
