The Senior Notes may be issued from time to time upon written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Senior Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Base Indenture.

Section 2.03. Form, Payment and Appointment. Except as provided in Section 2.04, the Senior Notes shall be issued in fully registered, certificated form, bearing identical terms. Principal of and interest on the Senior Notes will be payable, the transfer of such Senior Notes will be registrable, and such Senior

Notes will be exchangeable for Senior Notes of a like aggregate principal amount bearing identical terms and provisions, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which shall initially be the corporate trust office of the Trustee; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the holder at such address as shall appear in the Security register or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the holder entitled to payment.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Senior Notes, but the Company may require payment from the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the Senior Notes shall initially be the Trustee.

The Senior Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that upon the release by the Collateral Agent of Senior Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Senior Notes (other than any release of Senior Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Senior Notes in connection with (i) the creation of Treasury Units by Collateral Substitution, (ii) a Successful Remarketing, (iii) Cash Merger Early Settlement, (iv) Early Settlement or (v) Cash Settlement, in accordance with Section 3.13, Section 5.02(b), Section 5.04, Section 5.07 or Section 5.02(a) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, as the case may be), the Senior Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof, and the Company shall issue Senior Notes in any such denominations if requested by the Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of any Holder or Beneficial Owner.

Section 2.04. Global Senior Notes. Senior Notes corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Senior Notes that are no longer a component of the Corporate Units and are released from the Collateral Account will be issued in permanent global form (a “Global Senior Note”), and if issued as one or more Global Senior Notes, the Depositary shall be The Depository Trust Company or such other depositary as any officer of the Company may from time to time designate.

(a) The Senior Notes will bear interest initially at the rate of [•]% per year (the “Coupon Rate”) from and including May [•], 2004 to, but excluding, the Maturity Date, or in the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In the event of a Successful Remarketing of the Senior Notes, the Coupon Rate will be reset by the Remarketing Agent to the Reset Rate with effect from the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, as set forth in Section 8.03. If the Coupon Rate is so reset, the Senior Notes will bear interest at the Reset Rate from and including the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date.

(b) (i) Prior to and on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, interest on the Senior Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on February 16, May 16, August 16 and November 16 of each year (each, a “Quarterly Interest Payment Date”), commencing August 16, 2004, to the Person in whose name the relevant Senior Notes are registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date.

(ii) After the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, interest on the Senior Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 16 and November 16 of each year (each, a “Semiannual Interest Payment Date”), commencing November 16, 2007, to the Person in whose name the relevant Senior Notes are registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date.

(c) The amount of interest payable for any full Interest Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full Interest Period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and, for any period less than a month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay).

(d) In addition, the Company shall pay on May [•], 2004 (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), the interest accrued from and including May [•], 2004, to, but excluding, the Special Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name the Senior Notes are registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Special Interest Payment Date.

the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, use its reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Senior Notes at the Remarketing Price.

(b) In the case of a Failed Initial Remarketing, on the Second Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Senior Notes at the Remarketing Price. In the case of a Failed Second Remarketing, on the Final Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Senior Notes at the Remarketing Price.

Section 8.03. Reset Rate. (a) In connection with each Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall determine the Reset Rate (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent per annum).

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Reset Rate shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

(c) In the event of a Failed Remarketing or if no Applicable Ownership Interests in Senior Notes are included in Corporate Units and none of the holders of the Separate Senior Notes elect to have their Senior Notes remarketed in any Remarketing, the applicable interest rate on the Senior Notes will not be reset and will continue to be the Coupon Rate.

(d) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Coupon Rate shall be reset on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to the Reset Rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent under the Remarketing Agreement, and the Company shall issue a press release containing such Reset Rate and publish such information on its website.

Section 8.04. Failed Remarketing. If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent is unable to remarket all of the Remarketed Senior Notes at the Remarketing Price pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Remarketing Agreement, a Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred.

Section 8.05. Put Right.

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) hereof, if there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the Final Remarketing Date, holders of Senior Notes will, subject to this Section 8.05, have the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Company to purchase such Senior Notes on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Senior Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of

the applicable Senior Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (the “Put Price”).

(b) The Put Right of holders of Applicable Ownership Interests in Senior Notes that are part of Corporate Units will be deemed to be automatically exercised unless such holders (1) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, provide written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent of their intention to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate cash, and (2) on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, deliver to the Collateral Agent $25 in cash per Purchase Contract, in each case pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement, and such holders shall be deemed to have elected to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contract from a portion of the proceeds of the Put Right of the Senior Notes underlying such Applicable Ownership Interests in Senior Notes equal to the Purchase Price in full satisfaction of such holders’ obligations under the Purchase Contracts, and any remaining amount of the Put Price following satisfaction of the related Purchase Contracts will be paid to such holder.

(c) The Put Right of a holder of a Separate Senior Note shall only be exercisable upon delivery of a notice to the Trustee by such holder on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Senior 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.

REVERSE OF SENIOR NOTE

This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Senior Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of May [•], 2004, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee), as amended and supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of May [•], 2004, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture No. 1” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture 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 Senior Notes and of the terms upon which the Senior Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $600,000,000.

All terms used in this Senior Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

If a Special Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Senior Notes of this series in whole, but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date prior to the earlier of the date of a Successful Remarketing or the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Senior Note equal to the Redemption Price as set forth in the Indenture. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence and in Article 3 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, the Company may not redeem the Senior Notes at its option prior to the Maturity Date.

Pursuant to Section 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, if there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the Final Remarketing Date, holders of Senior Notes will have the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Company to purchase such Senior Notes on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in the case of Separate Senior Notes upon a notice to the Trustee on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Senior Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable Senior Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (the “Put Price”).

The Senior Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund and will not be subject to defeasance or covenant defeasance.

If an Event of Default with respect to Senior Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Senior Notes of this series may be

R-1

declared 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 rights of the holders of the Senior Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Senior Notes, 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 Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior 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 Senior Note.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is registrable in the security register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Senior Note 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Senior Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, except as provided for in Section 2.03 of Supplemental Indenture No. 1. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder 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.

The Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all

R-2

purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a Corporate Unit or a Separate Senior Note, each holder will be deemed to have agreed (1) for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes to treat the acquisition of a Corporate Unit as the acquisition of an Applicable Ownership Interest in Senior Notes and the Purchase Contract constituting the Corporate Unit and (2) to treat the Applicable Ownership Interest in Senior Notes or Separate Senior Note, as the case may be, as indebtedness for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

THIS SENIOR NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF TO THE EXTENT A DIFFERENT LAW WOULD GOVERN AS A RESULT.
