year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable and paid or
provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture,

Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest, which shall be the January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a
Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Any such interest which is payable, but is not paid or provided for, on any

Holder, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more

Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Company, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders of Notes 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 Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in such Indenture.
Payment of the principal of and the interest on this Note will be made at
the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company,
interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided,
further, that payment to DTC or any successor Depository may be made by wire
transfer to the account designated by DTC or such successor Depository in
writing.
This Security is a Global Security issued on the date hereof which
represents $237,800,000 of the principal amount of the Company's 7-3/4% Senior

indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of

exceptions provided in the Indenture) to the aggregate principal amount
specified in the Eighth Supplemental Indenture between the Company and the
Trustee, dated as of December 3, 2001, establishing the terms of the Notes

interest will be payable to the Redemption Date.

percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, 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 Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes
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 or such Notes.

the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note,
at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the
Indenture prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth

aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture and
in this Note, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Notes of this series in different authorized denominations, as requested by
the Holders 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, other than in
certain cases provided in the Indenture.

specified covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Company

sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes of this
series, and satisfies certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in
the Indenture.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York.
All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have
