REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE


     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Corporation (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or
more series under an Indenture, dated as of July 3, 2001 (herein called the
“Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such
instrument), between the Corporation and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National
Association (as successor to Chase Manhattan Bank and Trust Company, National
Association), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the
Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series
designated on the face hereof.


     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than
30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice by mail, at any time, as a
whole or in part, at the election of the Corporation, at the following
Redemption Price which shall be equal to the greater of the following amounts:



	 	•	 	100% of the principal amount of the Security being
redeemed on the Redemption Date; or
	 
	 	•	 	the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Security
being redeemed on that Redemption Date (not including any portion
of any interest payments accrued to the Redemption Date)
discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the
Treasury Rate (as defined below), as determined by the Quotation
Agent (as defined below) plus 15 basis points;



plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Security to the
Redemption Date, provided that interest installments whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment
Date to the Holders of such Securities of record at the close of business on
the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in
the Indenture. The Redemption Price shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.


     Except for a default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on
the Securities or any portion of the Securities called for redemption.


     In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security
or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion
hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof.


     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security
selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the
time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Securities.


     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption
Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations, or (C) if only
one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Quotation.

Corporation.


     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) each of Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc. and Wachovia Securities, Inc. (or their respective affiliates
which are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided,
however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S.
Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”),
the Corporation shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any
other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Trustee after consultation
with the Corporation.


     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined
by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.


     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per
year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed
as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price
for such Redemption Date.


     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire
indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of
Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with
certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.


     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on
the Securities of this series may be 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
Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting as
one class).


     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than
a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time
Outstanding with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have
occurred and be continuing (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of
the Securities of all such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past
default with respect to all such series and its consequences. The Indenture
also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of
all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Corporation with
certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder
of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.


     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this 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 respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of

not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series 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 Securities of
this series 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 Security for the enforcement
of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.


     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and
interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and
for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.


     The 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,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor 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 Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

the contrary.
