additional bonds of 2008 Series G have the same tenor and terms as the bonds of 2008
Series G established hereby.Subject to the release provisions set forth below, each bond of 2008 Series G is to be
irrevocably assigned to, and registered in the name of, The Bank of New York Trust

to earlier redemption or release) and shall bear interest at the rate of 5.60% per
annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year
(commencing December 15, 2008), until the principal thereof shall have become due and
payable and thereafter until the Companys obligation with respect to the payment of
said principal shall have been discharged as provided in the Indenture.The bonds of 2008 Series G shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and
interest as provided in the Indenture, but only to the extent and in the manner herein
provided. The bonds of 2008 Series G shall be payable, as to principal, premium, if
any, and interest, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City and State of New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of
America which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.Except as provided herein, each bond of 2008 Series G shall be dated the date of its
authentication and interest shall be payable on the principal represented thereby from
the June 15 or December 15 next preceding the date thereof to which interest has been
paid on bonds of 2008 Series G, unless the bond is authenticated on a date to which
interest has been paid, in which case interest shall be payable from the date of
authentication, or unless the date of authentication is prior to June 15, 2008 in
which case interest shall be payable from June 11, 2008.The bonds of 2008 Series G in definitive form shall be, at the election of the
Company, fully engraved or shall be lithographed or printed in authorized

bond, or any previous bond to the extent evidencing the same debt as that evidenced by
that bond, is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest, which regular record date shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or
not a business day) next preceding such interest payment date. If the Company shall
default in the payment of the interest due on any interest payment date on the
principal represented by any bond of 2008 Series G, such
defaulted interest shall forthwith cease to be

thereof) is registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail

shall be at least five (5) days prior to the payment date of such defaulted interest.Bonds of 2008 Series G shall not be assignable or transferable except as may be set
forth under Section 405 of the Note Indenture or in the supplemental note indenture
relating to the Notes, or, subject to compliance with applicable law, as may be
involved in the course of the exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an Event
of Default under the Note Indenture. Any such transfer shall be made upon surrender
thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York, together with a written instrument of
transfer (if so required by the Company or by the Trustee) in form approved by the
Company duly executed by the holder or by its duly authorized attorney. Bonds of 2008
Series G shall in the same manner be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of bonds of 2008 Series G upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in
Section 7 of Article II of the Indenture. The Company waives its rights under Section

be necessary to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations made pursuant
thereto or as may be specified in the Note Indenture.Upon payment of the principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, whether at
maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, or upon provision for the
payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article V of the Note Indenture,
bonds of 2008 Series G in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
Notes, shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium or interest, be
deemed fully paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder to make such payment
shall forthwith cease and be discharged, and, in the case of the payment of principal
and premium, if any, such bonds shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented for
appropriate notation to the Trustee.RELEASE.
    
    SECTION 2. From and after the Release Date (as defined in the Note Indenture), the
bonds of 2008 Series G shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged and the
obligation of the Company thereunder shall be terminated. On the Release Date, the
bonds of 2008 Series G shall be surrendered to and canceled by the Trustee. The
Company covenants and agrees that, prior to the Release Date, it will not take any
action that would cause the outstanding principal amount of the bonds of 2008 Series G
to be less than the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

bonds of said series. The Trustee shall, within five (5) days after receiving such
Redemption Demand, mail a copy thereof to the Company marked to indicate the date of
its receipt by the Trustee. Promptly upon receipt by the Company of such copy of a
Redemption Demand, the Company shall fix a date on which it will redeem the bonds of

payable on such Demand Redemption Date on all Notes; provided, however, that in the
event of a receipt by the Trustee of a notice that, pursuant to Section 602 of the
Note Indenture, the Note Indenture Trustee has terminated proceedings to enforce any
right under the Note Indenture, then any Redemption Demand shall thereby be rescinded
by the Note Indenture Trustee, and no Demand Redemption Notice shall be given, or, if
already given, shall be automatically annulled; but no such rescission or annulment
shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

Indenture hereinafter mentioned. This bond and
all other bonds of said series are issued and to be issued under, and are all equally
and ratably secured (except insofar as any sinking, amortization, improvement or
analogous fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture
hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular
series and except as provided in Section 3 of Article VI of said Indenture) by an
Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1924, duly executed by the Company to J.P. Morgan
Trust Company, National Association, as successor Trustee, to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto (including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of June
1, 2008) reference is hereby made for a description of the properties and franchises
mortgaged and conveyed, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and
conditions upon which the bonds are issued and under which additional bonds may be
issued, and the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Trustee in respect of
such security (which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, including the
Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 1, 2008, are hereinafter collectively called
the Indenture). As provided in the Indenture, said bonds may be for various
principal sums and are issuable in series, which may mature at different times, may
bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in said Indenture provided.
With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the
Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the bonds
and the terms and provisions of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental
thereto, may be modified or altered in certain respects by affirmative vote of at
least eighty-five percent (85%) in amount of the bonds then outstanding, and, if the
rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds then outstanding are to be
affected by the action proposed to be taken, then also by affirmative vote of at least
eighty-five percent (85%) in amount of the series of bonds so to be affected
(excluding in every instance bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Companys
interest therein as specified in the Indenture); provided, however, that, without the
consent of the holder hereof, no such modification or alteration shall, among other
things, affect the terms of payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond,
which in those respects is unconditional.This bond is redeemable prior to the Release Date upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture, including provision for redemption upon demand of the Note
Indenture Trustee following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note
Indenture and the acceleration of the principal of the Notes.Under the Indenture, funds may be deposited with the Trustee (which shall have become
available for payment), in advance of the redemption date of any of the bonds of 2008
Series G (or portions thereof), in trust for the redemption of such bonds (or portions
thereof) and the interest due or to become due thereon, and thereupon all obligations
of the Company in respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) so to be redeemed and
such interest shall cease and be discharged, and the holders thereof shall thereafter
be restricted exclusively to such funds for any and all claims of whatsoever nature on
their part under the Indenture or with respect to such bonds (or portions thereof) and
interest.In case an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the principal
of all the bonds issued thereunder may become or be declared due and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions

provided in the Indenture.Upon payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes,
whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise or upon provision
for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article V of the Note
Indenture, bonds of 2008 Series G in a principal amount equal to the principal amount
of such Notes, and having both a corresponding maturity date and interest rate shall,
to the extent of such payment of principal, premium or interest, be deemed fully paid
and the obligation of the Company thereunder to make such payment shall forthwith
cease and be discharged, and, in the case of the payment of principal and premium, if
any, such bonds of said series shall be surrendered for cancellation or presented for
appropriate notation to the Trustee.This bond is not assignable or transferable except as set forth under Section 405 of
the Note Indenture or in the supplemental indenture relating to the Notes, or, subject
to compliance with applicable law, as may be involved in the course of the exercise of
rights and remedies consequent upon an Event of Default under the Note Indenture. Any
such transfer shall be made by the registered holder hereof, in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company kept at its office or
agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon surrender and
cancellation of this bond, and thereupon, a new registered bond of the same series of
authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
transferee in exchange therefor, and this bond with others in like form may in like
manner be exchanged for one or more new bonds of the same series of other authorized
denominations, but of the same aggregate principal amount, all as provided and upon
the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and upon payment, in any event,
of the charges prescribed in the Indenture.From and after the Release Date (as defined in the Note Indenture), the bonds of 2008
Series G shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged and the obligation of
the Company thereunder shall be terminated. On the Release Date, the bonds of 2008
Series G shall be surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee. The Company covenants
and agrees that, prior to the Release Date, it will not take any action that would
cause the outstanding principal amount of the bond of 2008 Series G to be less than
the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes.No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this
bond, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the
Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or
against any past, present or future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of the
Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through
the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts
unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise howsoever; all
such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issue hereof, expressly waived and released by every holder or owner hereof, as
more fully provided in the Indenture.
