                             [Reverse of Security]

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or
more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 29, 2000 (herein called
the "Indenture", which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such
instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as successor to the
United States Trust Company of New York as Trustee under the Indenture (the
"Trustee"), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, 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, initially limited
in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000. The Company may at any time
issue additional securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the
same terms as the Securities.

     The Securities of this series are subject to redemption, as a whole or
from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice
mailed to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his address as it appears
in the Securities Register, on any date prior to their Stated Maturity at a
Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of
such Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
Redemption Date or (ii) as determined by a Quotation Agent (as defined below),
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest
accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 15 basis points, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date; provided that
unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on or after the
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions
thereof called for redemption.



                                       1
<PAGE>

     "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the
rate per annum equal to the semiannual 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 semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity will be computed as of the third business day immediately preceding
the Redemption Date. "Comparable Treasury Issue" (expressed as a percentage of
its principal amount) 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 in accordance with customary
financial practice in pricing new issues of corporate notes of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of the Securities. "Comparable Treasury Price"
means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, provided that if three or
more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are obtained, the highest and lowest
of such quotations shall be excluded from the calculation. "Quotation Agent"
means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company. "Reference
Treasury Dealer" means (i) Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. and its respective
successors; provided, however, that, if the foregoing shall cease to be a
primary U.S. Government securities dealer (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the
Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any
other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company. "Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations" 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. on the third Business Day preceding such
Redemption Date.

     The Securities do not have the benefit of any sinking fund obligations.

     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.

     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 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
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with
the consent of the Holders of not less than 50% in principal amount of the
Securities at the time


                                       2
<PAGE>

Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages 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 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 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 herefor 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 Company, 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.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any
premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company 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 $1000 and any 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 to a Holder 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.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
