ENTERPRISES INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware (the “Company”), which term includes any successor corporation under
the Indenture referred to herein), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE
& CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of Two Hundred
Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00) on September 15, 2006 (the “Maturity
Date”) in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay
interest thereon, in like coin or currency, at a rate of 2.500% per annum, computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, until the principal hereof is
paid or duly made available for payment, semiannually in arrears on March 15 and
September 15 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) in each year commencing on
March 15, 2004, to the registered holder of this Note (the “Holder”) as of the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment, which shall be the
March 1 and September 1 next preceding such Interest Payment Date, and on the Maturity
Date shown above. Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been
paid, from September 29, 2003, until the principal hereof has been paid or duly made
available for payment. If the Maturity Date or an Interest Payment Date falls on a day
which is not a Business Day, as defined below, principal or interest payable with respect
to such Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, will be paid on the
next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Maturity
Date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue on the
amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity Date or Interest Payment
Date. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest
Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture (as defined
below), be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes)
is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
payment; provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to
the Person to whom the principal hereof is payable. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such
Regular Record Date and shall be paid to the Persons, and on the notice, as is provided in
the Indenture. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a
Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in the City of New York are not required or authorized
by law to close. 



        Payment
of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to an account maintained by DTC for such purpose. 



        The
Notes will not be redeemable prior to maturity.

Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance
by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture or such Securities 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

waiver is made upon this Note.

authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.
