given to Holders of Senior Securities of this series not more than 15 days and
not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any

Indenture. Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Senior Security will be made at the office or agency of the
Trust maintained for that purpose in the City of _____________, State of
________, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, 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 Trust payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register kept for the Senior Securities pursuant to
Section 305 of the Indenture (the "Security Register") or (ii) transfer to an
account of the Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.
This Senior Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of
the Trust (herein called the "Senior Securities"), issued and to be issued in
one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of __________________, 1997
(herein called the "Indenture"), between the Trust and
_____________________________ (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Senior
Securities), 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 Trust, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Senior Securities and of the terms upon which the Senior
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Security
is one of the series designated as the "[designation of Senior Securities],"
limited in aggregate principal amount to $----------.
The Senior Securities may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Trust, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Senior Securities being redeemed plus accrued
interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
with respect to such Senior Securities.
The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Senior Securities of this series at the option of the Trust:
"Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Senior Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the
aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment
of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest
(exclusive of any interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated
payment) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting,
on a semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had
-2-
not been made, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Securities
being redeemed or paid.
"Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make- Whole Amount shall be used.
"Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated "H.15
(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal
Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States
government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical
release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture,
then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the
Trust.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Trust on this Senior Security and (b) certain
restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable
to the Trust, in each case, upon compliance by the Trust with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Senior Security.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Securities shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make- Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Senior Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Senior Security shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have
previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default
with
-3-
respect to the Senior Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Senior Securities at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Senior Securities at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such
request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days
after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Senior Security for
the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or after
the respective due dates expressed herein.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trust and the rights of the Holders of the Senior Securities under the Indenture
at any time by the Trust and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Securities.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Senior Securities at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Senior Securities, to waive
compliance by the Trust 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 Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Security and of any
Senior Security 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 Security.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Trust,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount,
if any, on, and interest on this Senior Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Senior Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Senior Security for registration of transfer at
the office or agency of the Trust in any Place of Payment where the principal
of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Senior Security are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
-4-

(the "Security Registrar") duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Securities of
this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Senior Securities of this series are issuable only in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Senior Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Senior Securities 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 Trust 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 Senior Security for registration of
transfer, the Trust, the Trustee and any agent of the Trust or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Senior Security is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Security be overdue, and
neither the Trust, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
contained in the Indenture or in this Senior Security, or because of any
indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such or,
against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as such,
of the Trust or of any successor, either directly or through the Trust or any
successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the
enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the
acceptance of this Senior Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Senior Securities.
All terms used in this Senior Security which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
