The provisions of Article Fourteen of the Indenture do not

If an Event of Default (defined in the Indenture as certain
events involving the bankruptcy of the Corporation) shall occur
with respect to the Notes, the principal of all the Notes may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture. THERE IS NO RIGHT OF ACCELERATION
PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE IN CASE OF A DEFAULT IN THE PAYMENT OF
INTEREST OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OTHER COVENANT BY THE
CORPORATION.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the
rights and obligations of the Corporation and the rights of the
holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the
Corporation with the consent of the holders of not less than 66
2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
and all other Securities then outstanding under the Indenture and
affected by such amendment and modification. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and all
other Securities then outstanding under the Indenture and
affected thereby, on behalf of the holders of all such
Securities, to waive compliance by the Corporation 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 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 Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of
this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Corporation, 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
prescribed.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of
or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the
Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past,
present or future, of the Corporation or 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 issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be
registered on the registry books of the Corporation relating to
the Notes, upon surrender of this Note for registration of
transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation designated by
it pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the

executed by, the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Notes are issuable only as registered Notes 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, Notes are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized
denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of
this Note, the Corporation, the Trustee, the Issuing and Paying

Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.
The Notes are being issued by means of a book-entry system
with no physical distribution of certificates to be made except
as provided in the Indenture. The book-entry system maintained
by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") will evidence ownership
of the Notes, with transfers of ownership effected on the records
of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures
established by DTC and its participants. The Corporation will
recognize Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, while the registered
holder of the Notes, as the owner of the Notes for all purposes,
including payment of principal and interest, notices and voting.
Transfer of principal and interest to participants of DTC will be
the responsibility of DTC, and transfer of principal and interest
to beneficial owners of the Notes by participants of DTC will be
the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of
such beneficial owners. So long as the book-entry system is in
effect, the selection of any Notes to be redeemed will be
determined by DTC pursuant to rules and procedures established by
DTC and its participants. The Corporation will not be
responsible or liable for such transfers or payments or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by
DTC, its participants or persons acting through such
participants.

The Corporation may exercise its option with respect hereto
by delivery to the Trustee (or any duly appointed paying agent)
of notice of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days
prior to the Stated Maturity Date originally in effect with
respect hereto or, if the Stated Maturity Date has already been
extended, prior to the maturity date then in effect (each, an
"Extended Maturity Date"). After such receipt and not later than
40 days prior to the Stated Maturity Date or an Extended Maturity
Date, as the case may be (each, a "Maturity Date"), the Trustee
(or any duly appointed Paying Agent) will mail first class mail,
postage prepaid, to the registered holder hereof a notice (the
"Extension Notice") relating to such extension period (the
"Extension Period") setting forth (i) the election of the
Corporation to extend the maturity hereof, (ii) the new Extended
Maturity Date, (iii) the interest rate applicable to the
Extension Period, and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption
during the Extension Period, including the date or dates on
which, the period or periods during which and the price or prices
at which such redemption may occur during the Extension Period.
Upon the mailing by the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying
Agent) of an Extension Notice to the registered holder hereof,
the maturity hereof shall be extended automatically as set forth
in such Extension Notice, and, except as modified by the
Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, this
Note will have the same terms as prior to the mailing of such
Extension Notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior
to the Maturity Date hereof (or, if such date is not a Business
Day, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Corporation
may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the
Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the
Extension Period by mailing or causing the Trustee (or any duly
appointed paying agent) to mail notice of such higher interest
rate, first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered holder
hereof. Such notice shall be irrevocable. Thereafter, this Note
will bear such higher interest rate for the Extension Period.
If the Corporation elects to extend the maturity hereof, the
registered holder hereof will have the option to elect repayment
hereof by the Corporation on the Maturity Date then in effect at
a price equal to the principal amount hereof plus any accrued and
unpaid interest to such date. In order for this Note to be so
repaid on the Maturity Date, the Corporation must receive, at
least 15 days but not more than 30 days prior to the Maturity
Date then in effect with respect hereto, (i) this Note with the
form "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse hereof duly
completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a
letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial
bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name
of the registered holder hereof, the principal amount hereof to
be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor
and terms hereof, a statement that the option to elect repayment
is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note,
together with the duly completed form entitled "Option to Elect
Repayment" attached hereto, will be received by the Trustee (or
any duly appointed paying agent) not later than the fifth
Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter, provided, however, that such telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective
if this Note and duly completed form are received by the Trustee
(or any duly appointed paying agent) by such fifth Business Day.
Such option may be exercised by the registered holder hereof for
less than the aggregate principal amount hereof then outstanding,
provided that the principal amount hereof remaining outstanding
after repayment is an integral multiple of $1,000.
