                                                             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 April 11, 2002 (herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Company (which term includes any successor corporation
under the Indenture) and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made 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 $750,000,000.

      The Securities will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the Company's
option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 30 days, but not more than
90 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each holder of the
Securities. The redemption price will be equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the
principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present
values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted, on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to
the sum of the Treasury Rate and 30 basis points. In the case of each of clause
(1) and (2), accrued interest will be payable to the Redemption Date.

            "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury
security selected by an Independent Investment Banker 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. "Independent Investment
Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

            "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any Redemption
Date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such
redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the trustee obtains fewer than five such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
"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 3:30 p.m., New York
City time, on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.



                                       1
<PAGE>

            "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Lehman Brothers Inc.,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc. plus three of the other Underwriters that are U.S. Government securities
dealers and their respective successors. If any of the foregoing shall cease to
be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"),
the Company shall substitute another nationally recognized investment banking
firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

            "Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to each Security
to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on
such Security that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such
redemption. If such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect
to such Security, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment
on such Security will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on such
Security to such Redemption Date.

            "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.

      On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the
Securities or any portion of the Securities called for redemption (unless the
Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest).
On or before the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and (unless the Redemption Date
shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest to the Redemption Date on
the Securities to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Securities
of any series are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate.

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

      The Securities of this series are subject to the defeasance and covenant
defeasance provisions set forth in Article Four of 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 a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the



                                       2
<PAGE>

Outstanding Securities of each series, on behalf of the Holders of all
Outstanding 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 or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

      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 amount of principal of (and premium, if
any, on) and interest, if any, on this Security herein provided, and at the
times, place and rate, and in the manner and 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 Trustee in any place where the principal of (and
premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, 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, 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 $1,000.00 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 of different authorized denominations as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same.

      No service charge shall be made 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 nor
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

      No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or the interest on, this Security or for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any
indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer
or director as such, past, present of future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or of any successor



                                       3
<PAGE>

corporation whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by
the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.

      The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to the
institution of proceedings by Holders of Senior Notes with respect to the
Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.

      This Security shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the
State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of said State, without giving effect to the principles
of conflicts of laws thereof.

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