                         the Trustee is not authorized to take any action pursuant to

                         then outstanding are to be affected by the action proposed
                         to be taken, then also by affirmative vote of at least

                         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,

                         the terms of payment of the principal of or the interest on
                         this bond, which in those respects is unconditional.

                           The holders of the bonds of 1993 Series FP, by their

                         bonds of any series may be issued which mature on a date or
                         dates later than October 1, 2024 and also consent to the
                         deletion from the first paragraph of Section 5 of Article II
                         of the Indenture of the phrase "but in no event later than
                         October 1, 2024,". Such holders further agree that (a) such
                         consent shall, for all purposes of Article XV of the
                         Indenture and without further action on the part of such
                         holders, be deemed the affirmative vote of such holders at
                         any meeting called pursuant to said Article XV for the
                         purpose of approving such deletion, and (b) such deletion
                         shall become effective at such time as not less than
                         eighty-five per cent (85%) in principal amount of bonds
                         outstanding under the Indenture shall have consented thereto
                         substantially in the manner set forth in Section 4 of Part I
                         of the Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 1, 1993, or

                         pursuant to said Article XV, or by any combination thereof.

                           This bond is redeemable upon the terms and conditions set
                         forth in the Indenture, including provision for redemption
                         upon demand of the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture Trustee

                         has been paid, in which case interest shall be payable from
                         the date of authentication, or unless the date of

                         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 Bankers Trust Company,
                         a corporation of the State of New York, as Trustee, to which
                         Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including
                         the Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 1, 1993)
                         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 April 1, 1993, 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.

                           The holders of the bonds of 1993 Series IP, by their
                         acceptance of and holding thereof, consent and agree that
                         bonds of any series may be issued which mature on a date or
                         dates later than October 1, 2024 and also consent to the
                         deletion from the first paragraph of Section 5 of Article II
                         of the Indenture of the phrase "but in no event later than
                         October 1, 2024,". Such holders further agree that (a) such
                         consent shall, for all purposes of Article XV of the
                         Indenture and without further action on the part of such
                         holders, be deemed the affirmative vote of such holders at
                         any meeting called pursuant to said Article XV for the
                         purpose of approving such deletion, and (b) such deletion
                         shall become effective at such time as not less than
                         eighty-five per cent (85%) in principal amount of bonds
                         outstanding under the Indenture shall have consented thereto
                         substantially in the manner set forth in Section 4 of Part
                         II of the Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 1, 1993,
                         or in writing, or by affirmative vote cast at a meeting
                         called pursuant to said Article XV, or by any combination
                         thereof.

                           This bond is redeemable upon the terms and conditions set
                         forth in the Indenture, including provision for redemption
                         upon demand of the Strategic Fund Trust Indenture Trustee
                         following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the
                         Strategic Fund Trust Indenture and the acceleration of the
                         principal of the Strategic Fund Revenue Bonds.

                         Trustee (which shall have become available for payment), in
