as supplemented and amended by a Third Supplemental Indenture thereto
dated as of February 20, 1986 and by an Eighth Supplemental Indenture
dated as of May 15, 1990 (the "Original Indenture"; the Original

Indenture, being herein called the "Indenture");

     WHEREAS, the Original Indenture provides that the Corporation and
the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Original
Indenture, among other things, to provide for the issuance from time to
time of debentures (defined in the Original Indenture as "Debentures")

the extent provided in the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to ___________________ , or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ____________ on March 1, 2007
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time
of payment shall be legal tender for public and private debts, and to
pay interest on said principal sum at the rate of 7.30% per annum (and
at the same rate per annum on any overdue principal, premium, if any,
and, to the extent legally enforceable, overdue installment of
interest) in like coin or currency from the first day of March or
September, as the case may be, to which interest on the Series R
Debentures has been paid preceding the date hereof (unless the date
hereof is a March 1 or September 1 to which interest has been paid, in
which case from the date hereof, or unless no interest has been paid on
the Series R Debentures since the original issuance of this Debenture,
in which case from March 1, 1997), semiannually on March 1 and
September 1 until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly
provided for.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date hereof is
after February 15 or August 15, as the case may be, and before the
following March 1 or September 1 this Debenture shall bear interest
from such March 1 or September 1; provided, however, that if the
Corporation shall default in the payment of interest due on such March
1 or September 1 then this Debenture shall bear interest from the next
preceding March 1 or September 1 to which interest has been paid or, if
no interest has been paid on the Series R Debentures since the original
issuance of this Debenture, from March 1, 1997.  The interest so
payable on any March 1 or September 1 will, subject to certain
exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof,
be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture is registered at the
close of business on February 15 or August 15, as the case may be, next
preceding such March 1 or September 1.  Payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on this Debenture will be made at the
office or agency of the Corporation in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City of New York, New York; provided, however, that interest may be
paid, at the option of the Corporation, by check mailed to the
registered holder hereof at his address last appearing on the registry
books for the Series R Debentures.

     Additional provisions of this Debenture are contained on the
reverse hereof and such provisions shall for all purposes have the same
effect as though fully set forth at this place.

     This Debenture shall not be entitled to any of the benefits of the
Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless the form of certificate of
authentication hereon shall have been executed by or on behalf of the
Trustee or a successor trustee thereto under the Indenture.

instrument to be signed in its name by its President or a Vice
President and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or by
facsimiles of any of their signatures, and its corporate seal, or a

     This is one of the Debentures, of the series designated therein,
described in the within-mentioned Indenture.


                              FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, 
                              AS TRUSTEE

              (FORM OF REVERSE OF SERIES R DEBENTURES)

     This Debenture is one of the Debentures of the Corporation (herein
called the "Debentures"), all duly authorized or from time to time to
be duly authorized and not limited in aggregate principal amount, all
issued and to be issued in one or more series from time to time under
and equally secured by a Collateral Trust Indenture dated as of March
21, 1983, as supplemented and amended by a Third Supplemental Indenture
thereto dated as of February 20, 1986 and by an Eighth Supplemental
Indenture dated as of May 15, 1990, between the Corporation and First
Union National Bank, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture as hereinafter
defined), as last supplemented and amended by a Seventeenth
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 10, 1997 (said Indenture, as
so supplemented and amended, being herein called the "Indenture"), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a description of the property thereby pledged, the
nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the
Debentures in respect of the security, the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee and the rights and obligations of the
Corporation in respect of the Debentures, and the terms and conditions
upon which the Debentures are, and are to be, secured.  The Debentures
may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at
different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise
vary as in the Indenture provided.  This Debenture is one of a series
designated as the "7.30% Collateral Trust Debentures, Series R, due
March 1, 2007" of the Corporation (herein called the "Series R
Debentures"), duly authorized and lawfully issued in an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding $75,000,000 under and secured by the
Indenture.

     The provisions of the Indenture may be waived, or modified or
amended by supplemental indenture, to the extent and in the manner
provided in the Indenture, but in certain instances only with the
consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
all Debentures at the time outstanding, and of 66 2/3% in aggregate
principal amount of each series of the Debentures at the time
outstanding which is affected by such waiver or supplemental indenture;
provided, however, that, without the written consent of the holder of
this Debenture, no such modification or amendment shall be made so as
to (i) extend the fixed maturity of this Debenture or the time of
payment of interest hereon, or reduce or otherwise modify the terms of
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or the rate of
interest on, this Debenture, or adversely affect the right of the
holder hereof to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, (ii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a
parity with the lien of the Indenture with respect to, or terminate the
lien of the Indenture on, any of the property covered thereby, or
deprive the holder hereof of the security afforded by the lien of the
Indenture or (iii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal
amount of Debentures, or of Series R Debentures, required to authorize
any such modification or amendment or any waiver of any provision of,
or default under, the Indenture.

     In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall
occur, the principal of all the Debentures at any such time outstanding
under the Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable upon
the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.  The Indenture provides that in certain events such Event of
Default and its consequences may be waived and such declaration may be
rescinded by the holders of outstanding Debentures in the manner
provided in the Indenture.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, declaration,
notice, consent, waiver or other action by the holder of this Debenture
shall bind the holder of every Debenture issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, in respect
of anything done or suffered to be done by or on behalf of the Trustee
or the Corporation in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon this Debenture.

     The Series R Debentures may not be redeemed prior to maturity.

     The transfer of this Debenture may be registered by the registered
holder hereof or by his duly authorized attorney at the office or
agency of the Corporation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, New York, upon surrender of this Debenture for cancellation,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by
the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder of this
Debenture or by his duly authorized attorney, and thereupon one or more
new Debentures of the same series and aggregate principal amount will
be issued in the name of the transferee or transferees in exchange
herefor without service charge, except that the Corporation may require
payment of a sum sufficient to pay any stamp taxes or other
governmental charges that may be required with respect thereto, as
provided in the Indenture.

     The person in whose name this Debenture shall be registered shall
be deemed the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, and payment of or
on account of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on,
this Debenture shall be made only to or upon the written order of such
registered owner or his duly authorized attorney.  All such payments
shall satisfy and discharge the liability upon this Debenture to the
extent of the amounts so paid.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, this Debenture, 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, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present
or future, of the Corporation or any successor 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.

     SECTION 4.     Debentures Issuable in the Form of a Global
Security.

        (a) Section 1.01 of the Original Indenture is amended to add
     new definitions thereto, in the appropriate alphabetical sequence,
     as follows:

            "Depository" means, unless otherwise specified by the
        Corporation pursuant to either Section 2.02 or 2.17, with
        respect to Debentures of any series issuable or issued in whole
        or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, The
        Depository Trust Corporation, New York, New York, or any
        successor thereto registered as a clearing agency under the
        Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulations.

            "Global Security" means with respect to any series of
        Debentures issued hereunder, a Debenture which is executed by
        the Corporation and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
        to the Depository or its custodian or pursuant to the
        Depository's instruction, all in accordance with this Indenture
        and any indentures supplemental hereto, which shall be
        registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and
        which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount
        equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all the Outstanding
        Debentures of such series or any portion thereof, in either
        case having the same terms, including, without limitation, the
        same original issue date, date or dates on which principal is
        due and interest rate or method of determining interest.

        (b) Article II of the Original Indenture is amended to add a
     new Section 2.17, which reads in its entirety as follows:

            SECTION 2.17.  Debentures Issuable in the Form of a Global
        Security.  (a)  If the Corporation shall establish pursuant to
        Section 2.02 that the Debentures of a particular series are to
        be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global
        Securities, then the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee
        or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 4.01,
        authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Securities,
        which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
        amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the
        Outstanding Debentures of such series to be represented by such
        Global Security or Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the
        name of the Depository for such Global Security or Securities
        or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or its
        agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository's
        instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the
        following effect:  "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole
        or in part for the individual Debentures represented hereby,
        this Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole
        by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a
        nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee
        of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to
        a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor
        Depository", or such other legend as may then be required by
        the Depository for such Global Security or Securities.

            (b)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this
        Section 2.17 or of Section 2.06 to the contrary, and subject
        to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of
        a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be
        exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debentures in
        registered form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole
        but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.06,
        only by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository for such
        Global Security, or by a nominee of the Depository to the
        Depository or another nominee of the Depository, or by the
        Depository or a nominee of the Depository to a successor
        Depository for such Global Security selected or approved by the
        Corporation, or to a nominee of such successor Depository.

            (c)     (i)  If at any time the Depository for a Global
        Security or Securities notifies the Corporation that it is
        unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global
        Security or Securities or if at any time the Depository for the
        Debentures for such series shall no longer be eligible or in
        good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable
        statute, rule or regulation, the Corporation shall appoint a
        successor Depository with respect to such Global Security or
        Securities.  If a successor Depository for such Global Security
        or Securities is not appointed by the Corporation within 90
        days after the Corporation receives such notice or becomes
        aware of such ineligibility, the Corporation shall execute, and
        the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Request for the
        authentication and delivery of such individual Debentures of
        such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities,
        will authenticate and deliver individual Debentures of such
        series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an
        aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
        Global Security or Securities in exchange for such Global
        Security or Securities.

               (ii) The Corporation may at any time and in its sole
        discretion determine that the Debentures of any series or
        portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more
        Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
        Security or Securities.  In such event, the Corporation will
        execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Request for the
        authentication and delivery of individual Debentures of such
        series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security
        or Securities, will authenticate and deliver individual
        Debentures of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive
        form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
        amount of such series or portion thereof in exchange for such
        Global Security or Securities.

               (iii)     If specified by the Corporation pursuant to
        Section 2.02 with respect to Debentures issued or issuable in
        the form of a Global Security, the Depository for such Global
        Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in
        whole or in part for individual Debentures of such series of
        like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are
        acceptable to the Corporation, the Trustee and such Depository. 
        Thereupon the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee or its
        agent upon receipt of a Request for the authentication and
        delivery of definitive Debentures of such series shall
        authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each
        Person specified by such Depository a new Debenture or
        Debentures of the same series of like tenor and terms and of
        any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in
        aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such
        Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (2)
        to such Depository a new Global Security of like tenor and
        terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the
        difference, if any, between the principal amount of the
        surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount
        of Debentures delivered to Holders thereof.

               (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the
        preceding three paragraphs, the Corporation will execute and
        the Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver
        individual Debentures.  Upon the exchange of the entire
        principal amount of a Global Security for individual
        Debentures, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the
        Trustee or its agent.  Except as provided in the preceding
        paragraph, Debentures issued in exchange for a Global Security
        pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be registered in such names
        and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such
        Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
        indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. 
        The Trustee shall deliver such Debentures to the Persons in
        whose names such Debentures are so registered or to such other
        Person as the Depository shall designate.

               (v)  Payments in respect of the principal of and
        interest on any Debentures registered in the name of the
        Depository or its nominee will be payable to the Depository or
        such nominee in its capacity as the registered owner of such
        Global Security.  The Corporation and the Trustee may treat the
        Person in whose names the Debentures, including the Global
        Security, are registered as the owner thereof for the purpose
        of receiving such payments and for any and all other purposes
        whatsoever.  None of the Corporation, the Trustee or any agent
        of the Corporation or the Trustee will have any responsibility
        or liability for (a) any aspect of the records relating to or
        payments made on account of the beneficial ownership interests
        of the Global Security by the Depository or its nominee or any
        of the Depository's direct or indirect participants, or for
        maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the
        Depository, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect
        participants relating to the beneficial ownership interests of
        the Global Security, (b) the payments to the beneficial owners
        of the Global Security of amounts paid to the Depository or its
        nominee, or (c) any other matter relating to the actions and
        practices of the Depository, its nominee or any of its direct
        or indirect participants.  None of the Corporation, the Trustee
        or any such agent will be liable for any delay by the
        Depository, its nominee, or any of its direct or indirect
        participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the
        Debentures, and the Corporation and the Trustee may
        conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on,
        instructions from the Depository or its nominee for all
        purposes (including with respect to the registration and
        delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the
        Debentures to be issued).

     SECTION 5.     Registration of Transfer.

        (a) The first sentence of paragraph (a) of Section 2.06 of the
     Original Indenture is amended and restated to read as follows:

     registered on the books required to be kept pursuant to Section
     2.04 upon the surrender of such Debenture at the office or agency
     of the Corporation required to be maintained under Section 7.02(a)
     in the City of Chicago, Illinois, or the Borough of Manhattan, The
     City of New York, New York, or in the case of Debentures of any
     Additional Series, at any such office or agency required by any
     supplemental indenture, in each case accompanied by delivery of
     instruments of transfer, in form approved by the Corporation, duly
     executed by the registered owner thereof or by his duly authorized
     attorney, and thereupon the Corporation shall execute in the name
     of the transferee or transferees, and the Trustee or appropriate
     authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new
     Debenture or Debentures of the same series, maturity and aggregate
     principal amount."

        (b) Section 2.06 of the Original Indenture is amended to add
     a new paragraph (c), which reads in its entirety as follows:  "(c) 
     None of the Corporation, the Trustee, or any agent of the
     Corporation or the Trustee will have any responsibility or
     liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments
     made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global
     Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
     relating to such beneficial ownership interests."
