fully registered certificated form without interest coupons and in denominations
of $50 and integral multiples thereof. Principal and interest on the Debentures
issued in certificated form will be payable, the transfer of such Debentures
will be registrable and such Debentures will be exchangeable for Debentures of
other denominations of a like aggregate principal amount and provisions at the
office or agency of the Institutional 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 thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Holder of any Debentures is the

SECTION 2.4. Global Debenture.
(a) In connection with a Dissolution Event,
(i) the Debentures in certificated form may be presented to
the Trustee by the Institutional Trustee in exchange for a global Debenture in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Debentures except for the aggregate principal amount of Debentures
to be issued pursuant to subparagraph (ii) below (a "Global Debenture"), to be
registered in the name of the Clearing Agency, or its nominee, and delivered by

aggregate principal amount and deliver the same to the Trustee for
authentication and delivery in accordance with the Indenture. Payments on the
Debentures issued as a Global Debenture will be made to the Clearing Agency; and

or its nominee ("Non Book-Entry Preferred Securities") will be deemed to
represent beneficial interests in the Debentures presented to the Trustee by the

aggregate liquidation amount of the Non Book-Entry Preferred Securities until
such Preferred Security Certificates are presented to the Security Registrar for
transfer or reissuance at which time such Preferred Security Certificates will

Security Certificate, as the case may be, with an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Security Certificate
cancelled, will be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for
authentication and delivery in accordance with the Indenture to such holder. On
issue of such Debentures, Debentures with an equivalent aggregate principal
amount that were presented by the Institutional Trustee to the Trustee will be
deemed to have been cancelled.
(b) Unless and until it is exchanged for the Debentures in registered
form, a Global Debenture may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to
another nominee of the Clearing Agency, or to a successor Clearing Agency
selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Clearing
Agency.
(c)If at any time the Clearing Agency notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as a Clearing Agency or if at any time the
Clearing Agency for such series shall no longer be registered or in good
standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Clearing Agency for such
series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives
such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, the Company
will execute, and, subject to Article III of the Indenture, the Trustee, upon
written notice from the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Debentures in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Debenture in exchange for such Global Debenture. In addition, the Company may at
any time determine that the Debentures shall no longer be represented by Global
Debenture. In such event

Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate evidencing such determination
by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Debentures in definitive
registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Debenture
in exchange for such Global Debenture. Upon the exchange of the Global Debenture
for such Debentures in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, the Global Debenture shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Such
Debentures in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global
Debenture shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations
as the Clearing Agency, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver
such Securities to the Clearing Agency for delivery to the Persons in whose
names such Securities are so registered.
SECTION 2.5. Interest.
(a) Each Debenture will bear interest initially at the rate of ___% per
annum (the Coupon Rate") from the original date of issuance until February 15,
2001, and at the Reset Rate thereafter until the principal thereof becomes due
and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of
such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of
interest at the rate of ___% until February 15, 2001 and at the Reset Rate
thereafter, compounded quarterly, payable (subject to the provisions of Article
IV herein) quarterly in arrears on February 16, May 16, August 16 and November
16 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date") commencing on February 16,
1998, to the Person in whose name such Debenture or any predecessor Debenture is
registered, at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest installment, which, in respect of (i) Debentures of which the
Institutional Trustee is the Holder and the Preferred Securities are in
book-entry only form or (ii) a Global Debenture, shall be the close of business
on the Business Day next preceding that Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if (i) the Debentures are held by the Institutional
Trustee and the Preferred Securities are no longer in book-entry only form or
(ii) the Debentures are not represented by a Global Debenture, the Company may
select a Regular Record Date for such interest installment which shall be more
than one Business Day but less than 60 Business Days prior to an Interest
Payment Date.
(b) The Coupon Rate on the Debentures will be reset on the third
Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to the
Reset Rate (which Reset Rate will become effective on and after the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date). On the tenth (10) Business Day immediately preceding
the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Reset Announcement Date, the Reset
Spread and the relevant Two-Year Benchmark Treasury will be announced by the
Company. On the Business Day immediately following such Reset Announcement Date,
the Holders of Debentures will be notified of such Reset Spread and Two-Year
Benchmark Treasury by the Company. Such notice shall be sufficiently given to
such Holders of Debentures if published in an Authorized Newspaper.
(c) Not later than seven calendar days nor more than 15 calendar days
immediately preceding the Reset Announcement Date, the Company will request that
the Clearing Agency or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its
nominee) or the Institutional Trustee, notify the Holders of Debentures of such
Reset Announcement Date and the procedures to be followed by such holders of
Debentures wishing to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate cash on
the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.
(d) The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Except as
provided in the following sentence, the amount of interest payable for any
period shorter than a full quarterly period for which interest is computed, will
be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 90-day
period. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the
Debentures is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such 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), except that, if such
Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made
on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and
effect as if made on such date.

ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION OF THE DEBENTURES
SECTION 3.1. Tax Event Redemption.
If a Tax Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may, at its
option, redeem the Debentures in whole (but not in part) at any time at a
Redemption Price per Debenture equal to the Redemption Amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, including Compounded Interest and the expenses and
taxes of the Trust set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, if any, to the date of such
redemption (the "Tax Event Redemption Date"). If, following the occurrence of a
Tax Event, the Company exercises its option to redeem the Debentures, then the
proceeds of such redemption, if distributed to the Institutional Trustee as the
sole Holder of such Debentures, will be applied by the Institutional Trustee to
redeem Trust Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so redeemed, at the Redemption
Price. If, following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Company exercises its
option to redeem the Debentures, the Company shall appoint the Quotation Agent
to assemble the Treasury Portfolio in consultation with the Company. Notice of
any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
the Tax Event Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Debentures to be
prepaid at its registered address. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the
Redemption Price, on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to
accrue on such Debentures.
SECTION 3.2. Redemption Procedure for Debentures.
Payment of the Redemption Price to each Holder of Debentures shall be
made by the Paying Agent, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Tax Event Redemption Date, by check or wire transfer in immediately available
funds at such place and to such account as may be designated by each such Holder
of Debentures, including the Institutional Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as
the case may be. If the Trustee holds immediately available funds sufficient to
pay the Redemption Price of the Debentures (or, if the Company is acting as
Paying Agent or the Institutional Trustee has received the Redemption Price),
then, on such Tax Event Redemption Date, such Debentures will cease to be
outstanding and interest thereon will cease to accrue, whether or not such
Debentures have been received by the Company, and all other rights of the Holder
in respect of the Debentures shall terminate and lapse (other than the right to
receive the Redemption Price upon delivery of such Debentures but without
interest on such Redemption Price).
SECTION 3.3. No Sinking Fund.
The Debentures are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
SECTION 3.4. Option to Put Debentures.
If a Failed Remarketing has occurred, each Holder of Debentures who
holds such Debentures on the day immediately following the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date shall have the right (the "Put Option") on or after the Business
Day immediately following the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon at least
three Business Days' prior notice, to require the Company to repurchase such
Holder's Debentures on March 2, 2001 (the "Put Option Exercise
6
10
Date"), either in whole or in part, at a repayment price per Debenture equal to
$50, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of payment
including deferred interest, if any (the "Debenture Repayment Price").
SECTION 3.5. Repurchase Procedure for Debentures.
(a) In order for the Debentures to be repurchased on the Put
Option Exercise Date, the Company must receive on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York
City time on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Put Option
Exercise Date, at the principal executive offices of Kennametal Inc. in Latrobe,
Pennsylvania, the Debentures to be repurchased with the form entitled "Option to
Elect Repayment" on the reverse of or otherwise accompanying such Debentures
duly completed. Any such notice received by the Trustee shall be irrevocable.
All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and
acceptance of the Debentures for repayment shall be determined by the Company,
whose determination shall be final and binding.
(b) Payment of the Debentures Repayment Price to Holders of
Debentures shall be made through the Trustee, subject to the Trustee's receipt
of payment from the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture either
through the Trustee or the Company acting as Paying Agent, no later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the Put Option Exercise Date, and to such account
as may be designated by such Holders. If the Trustee holds immediately available
funds sufficient to pay the Debentures Repayment Price of the Debentures
presented for repayment (or, if the Company is acting as Paying Agent and the
Institutional Trustee has received the Debentures Repayment Price), then,
immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Put Option Exercise Date, such Debentures will cease to be
outstanding and interest thereon will cease to accrue, whether or not such
Debentures have been received by the Company, and all other rights of the Holder
in respect of the Debentures, including the Holder's right to require the
Company to repay such Debentures, shall terminate and lapse (other than the
right to receive the Debentures Repayment Price upon delivery of such Debentures
but without interest on such Debentures Repayment Price). Neither the Trustee
nor the Company will be required to register or cease to be registered the
transfer of any Debentures for which repayment has been elected.
ARTICLE IV
EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD
SECTION 4.1. Extension of Interest Payment Period.
The Company shall have the right at any time, and from time to time,
during the term of the Debentures, to defer payments of interest by extending
the interest payment period of such Debentures for a period not extending, in
the aggregate, beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures (the "Extended
Interest Payment Period"), during which Extended Interest Payment Period no
interest shall be due and payable. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest, the payment of which has been deferred because of the extension of the
interest payment period pursuant to this Section 4.1, will bear interest thereon
at the rate of ___% until February 15, 2001, and at the Reset Rate thereafter
compounded quarterly for each quarter of the Extended Interest Payment Period
("Compounded Interest"). At the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period, the
Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the Debentures, including
any expenses and taxes of the Trust set forth in Section 5.1 hereof and
Compounded Interest (together, "Deferred Interest") that shall be payable to the
Holders of the Debentures in whose names the Debentures are registered in the
Security Register on the first record date after the end of the Extended
Interest Payment Period; provided, however, that during any such Extended
Interest Payment Period, (a) the Company shall not declare or pay dividends on
or make any distribution with respect to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock (other than (i)
purchases or acquisitions of capital stock of the Company in connection with the
satisfaction by the Company of its obligations under any employee or agent
benefit plans or the satisfaction by the Company of its obligations pursuant to
any contract or security outstanding on the date of such event requiring the
Company to purchase capital stock of the Company, (ii) as a result of a
reclassification of the Company's capital stock or the exchange or conversion of
one class or series of the Company's capital stock for another class or
7
11
series of the Company capital stock, (iii) the purchase of fractional interests
in shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged,
(iv) dividends or distributions in capital stock of the Company (or rights to
acquire capital stock) or repurchases or redemptions of capital stock solely
from the issuance or exchange of capital stock or (v) redemptions or repurchases
of any rights outstanding under a shareholder rights plan and the declaration
thereunder of a dividend of rights in the future), (b) the Company shall not
make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company that rank junior
to the Debentures, and (c) the Company shall not make any guarantee payments
with respect to the foregoing (other than payments pursuant to the Guarantee or
the Common Securities Guarantee). Prior to the termination of any Extended
Interest Payment Period, the Company may further extend such period, provided
that such period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof
shall not extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Upon the
termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and the payment of all
Deferred Interest then due, the Company may commence a new Extended Interest
Payment Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest shall be due
and payable during an Extended Interest Payment Period, except at the end
thereof, but the Company, at its option, may prepay on any Interest Payment Date
all or any portion of the interest accrued during the then elapsed portion of an
Extended Interest Payment Period.
SECTION 4.2. Notice of Extension.
(a) If the Institutional Trustee is the only registered Holder of the
Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period,
the Company shall give written notice to the Regular Trustees, the Institutional
Trustee and the Trustee of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment
Period one Business Day before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on
which Distributions on the Trust Securities issued by the Trust are payable, or
(ii) the date the Trust is required to give notice of the record date, or the
date such Distributions are payable, to the New York Stock Exchange or other
applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Preferred
Securities issued by the Trust, but in any event at least one Business Day
before such record date.
(b) If the Institutional Trustee is not the only Holder of the
Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period,
the Company shall give the Holders of the Debentures and the Trustee written
notice of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period at least 10
Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date, or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the record or
payment date of such interest payment to the New York Stock Exchange or other
applicable self-regulatory organization or to Holders of the Debentures.
SECTION 4.3. Limitation of Transactions.
If (i) the Company shall exercise its right to defer payment of
interest as provided in Section 4.1, or (ii) there shall have occurred any Event
of Default, as defined in the Indenture, then (a) the Company shall not declare
or pay dividends or make any distribution with respect to, or redeem, purchase,
acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock
(other than (i) purchases or acquisitions of capital stock of the Company in
connection with the satisfaction by the Company of its obligations under any
employee or agent benefit plans or the satisfaction by the Company of its
obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the date of such
event requiring the Company to purchase capital stock of the Company, (ii) as a
result of a reclassification of the Company's capital stock or the exchange or
conversion of one class or series of the Company's capital stock for another

KENNAMETAL INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company", which term

principal sum of ___________________ ($______________) on February 16, 2003
10
14
(such date is hereinafter referred to as the "Maturity Date"), and to pay
interest on said principal sum from January , 1998, or from the most recent
interest payment date (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date") to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to deferral as
set forth herein) in arrears on February 16, May 16, August 16 and November 16
of each year, commencing on February 16, 1998, initially at the rate of ___% per
annum until February 15, 2001, and at the Reset Rate thereafter until the
principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal
and premium, if any, and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of
such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of
interest at the rate of ___% until February 15, 2001, and at the Reset Date
thereafter, compounded quarterly. The interest rate will be reset on the third
business day preceding February 16, 2001 to the Reset Rate (as determined by the
Reset Agent). The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Debenture is not
a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on
the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or
other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day
is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as if made on such date. The interest installment so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture (or one or more
Predecessor Securities, as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close
of business on the regular record date for such interest installment which in
the case of a Global Debenture shall be the close of business on the business
day next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, if pursuant to
the terms of the indenture the Debentures are no longer represented by a Global
Debenture, the Company may select such regular record date for such interest
installment which shall be more than one Business Day but less than 60 Business
Days prior to an Interest Payment Date. Any such interest installment not
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holders on such regular record date and may be paid to the Person in
whose name this Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for
the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the
registered Holders of this series of Debentures not less than 10 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 the
Debentures may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of (and
premium, if any) and the interest on this Debenture shall be payable at the
office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in any coin or
currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment
of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the
registered Holder at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by
wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Holder entitled
thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Holder of this Debenture
is the Institutional Trustee or the Collateral Agent, the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Debenture will be made
at such place and to such account as may be designated in writing by the
Institutional Trustee or the Collateral Agent.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture is, to the extent provided
in the Indenture, senior and unsecured and will rank in right of payment on
parity with all other senior unsecured obligations of the Company.
This Debenture shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the
Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of
the Trustee.

Authorized Signatory
(FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBENTURE)
This Debenture is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the
Company (herein sometimes referred to as the "Securities"), specified in the
Indenture, all issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant
to an Indenture dated as of January , 1998 (the "Base Indenture"), duly executed
and delivered between the Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, as
Trustee (the "Trustee") (as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture,
dated January , 1998), (the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the "Indenture"),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the
Securities. By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series
that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other
respects as provided in the Indenture. This series of Securities is limited in
aggregate principal amount as specified in said First Supplemental Indenture.
If a Tax Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may, at its
option, redeem Debentures in whole (but not in part) at any time at a Redemption
Price per Debenture equal to the Redemption Amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, including Compounded Interest and expenses and taxes of the
Trust (each as defined herein), if any, to the Tax Event Redemption Date. The
Redemption Price shall be paid to each Holder of the Debenture by the Company,
no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Tax Event Redemption Date,
by check or wire transfer in immediately available funds, at such place and to
such account as may be designated by each such Holder.
The Debentures are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
If a Failed Remarketing has occurred, each Holder of this Debenture who
holds this Debenture on the day immediately following the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date shall have the right (the "Put Option") on or after the Business
Day immediately following the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon at least
three Business Days' prior notice, to require the Company to repurchase such
Holder's Debentures on March 2, 2001 (the "Put Option Exercise Date"), either in
whole or in part, at a repayment price per Debenture equal to $50, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of payment including deferred
interest, if any (the "Debenture Repayment Price"). In order for the Debentures
to be so repurchased, the Company must receive, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New
York City Time on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Put Option
Exercise Date, at the principal executive offices of Kennametal Inc. in Latrobe,
Pennsylvania, the Debentures to be repurchased with the form entitled "Option to
Elect Repayment" on the reverse of or otherwise accompanying such Debentures
duly completed. Any such notice received by the Trustee shall be irrevocable.
All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and
13
17
acceptance of the Debentures for repayment shall be determined by the Company,
whose determination shall be final and binding. The payment of the Debentures
Repayment Price in respect of such Debentures shall be made, either through the
Trustee or the Company acting as Paying Agent, no later than 12:00 noon, New

occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Debentures 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 contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures of each series affected at the time
outstanding, as defined in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for
the purpose of, among other things, adding any provisions to or changing or
eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental
indenture or of modifying the rights of the Holders of the Debentures; provided,
however, that, among other things, no such supplemental indenture shall (i)
reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon (subject to the Company's right to defer such
payments in the manner set forth herein), or reduce any premium payable upon the
redemption thereof, without the consent of the Holder of each Debenture so
affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the
consent of the Holders of each Debenture then outstanding and affected thereby.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time
outstanding affected thereby, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Debentures
of such series, to waive a Default or Event of Default with respect to such
series, and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the
Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the registered Holder
of this Debenture (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners
of this Debenture and of any Debenture issued in exchange for or in place hereof
(whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or
not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debenture.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture 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 on this Debenture at the time and place and at the rate and in the
money herein prescribed.
So long as the Company is not in default in the payment of interest on the
Debenture, the Company shall have the right at any time during the term of the
Debentures from time to time to extend the interest payment period of such
Debentures for a period not extending, in the aggregate, beyond the Maturity
Date of the Debentures (an "Extended Interest Payment Period"). At the end of an
Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall pay all interest then
accrued and unpaid (together with the interest thereon at the rate of ___% until
February 15, 2001 and at the Reset Rate thereafter to the extent that payment of
such interest is enforceable under applicable law). In the event that the
Company exercises this right, then (a) the Company shall not declare or pay
dividends or make any distribution with respect to, or redeem, purchase, acquire
or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock (other
than (i) purchases or acquisitions of capital stock of the Company in connection
with the satisfaction by the Company of its obligations under any employee or
agent benefit plans or the satisfaction by the Company of its obligations
pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the date of such event
requiring the Company to purchase capital stock of the Company, (ii) as a result
of a reclassification of the Company's capital stock or the exchange or
conversion of one class or series of the Company's capital stock for another
class or series of the Company capital stock, (iii) the purchase of fractional
interests in shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or
exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or
exchanged, (iv) dividends or distributions in capital stock of the Company (or
rights to acquire capital stock) or repurchases or redemptions of capital stock
solely from the issuance or exchange of capital stock or (v) redemptions or
purchases of any rights outstanding under a shareholder rights plan and the
declaration thereunder of a dividend of rights in the future), (b) the Company
shall not make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, or repay,
repurchase
14
18
or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company that rank junior to the
Debentures, and (c) the Company shall not make any guarantee payments with
respect to the foregoing (other than payments pursuant to the Guarantee or the
Common Securities Guarantee). Prior to the termination of any such Extended
Interest Payment Period, the Company may further extend the interest payment
period; provided, that such Extended Interest Payment Period, together with all
such previous and further extensions thereof, may not extend beyond the Maturity
Date of the Debenture. At the termination of any such Extended Interest Payment
Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any
additional amount then due, the Company may commence a new Extended Interest
Payment Period, subject to the above requirements.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, this Debenture is transferable by the registered Holder hereof on the
Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Debenture for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in the City of
Chicago and State of Illinois accompanied by a written instrument or instruments
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by
the registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Debentures of authorized denominations and for the
same aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debenture, the
Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Security Registrar may deem and
treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not
this Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or
writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose
of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if
any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company
nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest
on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect
hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator,
shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the
Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as
part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and
released.
The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to,
among other things, merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell, assign,
transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets. All such
covenants and limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications
and exceptions. The Company must report periodically to the Trustee on
compliance with the covenants in the Indenture.
The Debentures of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $50 and any integral multiple thereof. This Global
Debenture is exchangeable for Debentures in definitive form only under certain
limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Debentures of this series
so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Debentures
of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the

shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
