 WHEREAS, the Company proposes to create under the Indenture a series of Securities;

 SECTION 101. Establishment. There is hereby established a new series of Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the
Company’s 2004 Series A 5.20% Senior Notes Due 2016 (the “Series A Senior Notes”). 
  
 There are to be authenticated and delivered $200,000,000 principal amount of Series A Senior Notes, and such principal amount of the Series A Senior Notes
may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 301(2) of the Indenture. All Series A Senior Notes need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without the consent of any Holder, for issuances of additional
Series A Senior Notes. Any such additional Series A Notes 

  









 
will have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as those initially issued. Further Series A Senior Notes may also be authenticated and delivered
as provided by Sections 304, 305, 306, 905 or 1107 of the Original Indenture. 
  
 The Series A Senior Notes shall be issued in definitive fully registered form without coupons, in substantially the form set out in Exhibit A hereto. The entire initially issued principal amount of the Series A

maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be
determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding
the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of

Indenture, other than any such Series A Senior Notes in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that such Series A Senior Notes are held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Series A Senior
Notes are valid obligations of the Company; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Series A Senior Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent

Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Series A Senior Notes so owned which shall have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction

 SECTION 103. Payment of Principal and Interest. The principal of the Series A Senior Notes shall be due at the Stated Maturity (unless earlier redeemed). The unpaid principal amount of the Series A Senior Notes
shall bear interest at the rate of 5.20% per annum until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest
shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name the Series A Senior Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at the Stated
Maturity of principal as provided herein will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and
may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose name the Series A Senior Notes are 

  

 4 








 
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee (in accordance with
Section 307 of the Original Indenture), notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Series A Senior Notes not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which the Series A Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Original Indenture. 
  
 Payments of interest on the Series A Senior Notes will include interest
accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Series A Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is
payable on the Series A Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each
case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
  
 Payment of the principal and interest on the Series A Senior Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any Series A Senior Notes being made upon surrender of such Series A Senior Notes to the Paying Agent. Payments of interest (including interest on any
Interest Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire
transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. In the event that any
date on which principal and interest is payable on the Series A Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal and interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
  
 SECTION 104. Denominations. The Series A Senior Notes may be issued in denominations of $1,000, or any integral multiple thereof. 
  
 SECTION 105. Global Securities. The Series A Senior Notes will be
issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary (which shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Series A Senior Notes
represented by such Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Series A Senior Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee
of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee. 
  
 Owners of beneficial interests in such a Global Security will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global
Security representing a 

  

 5 








 
Series A Senior Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary
or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee or except as described below. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary. 
  
 A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series A Senior Notes registered in the names of persons other than the
Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days of
receipt by the Company of such notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor
Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days after it becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Series A Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. 
  
 SECTION 106. Redemption. The Series A Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, and at the option of the Company, at a
Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 
  
 (i) 100% of the
principal amount of Series A Senior Notes then Outstanding to be so redeemed, or 
  
 (ii) 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 semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker, 
  
 plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to
the Redemption Date. 
  
 Unless the Company defaults in the
payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Series A Senior Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
  
 The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 
  
 In the event of the redemption of the Series A Senior Notes in part only, a
new Series A Senior Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name or names of the Holders thereof upon surrender thereof. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given as provided in Section 1104 of the Original Indenture. 
  

 6 








 SECTION 107. Sinking Fund. The Series A Senior Notes shall not have a sinking fund. 
  
 SECTION 108. Additional Interest. Any principal of and installment of
interest on the Series A Senior Notes that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 5.20% (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available
for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. 
  
 SECTION 109. Paying Agent. The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent with respect to the Series A Senior Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 110. Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, while any of
the Series A Senior Notes remain Outstanding, create, or suffer to be created or to exist, any Lien upon any Principal Property of the Company or upon any shares of stock of any Material Subsidiary of the Company, whether such Principal Property is,
or shares of stock are, now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, unless it shall make effective provision whereby the Series A Senior Notes then Outstanding shall be secured by such Lien equally
and ratably with any and all indebtedness for borrowed money thereby secured so long as any such indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be construed to prevent the Company from creating, or from
suffering to be created or to exist, any Liens, or any agreements, with respect to: 
  

	 	(1)	purchase money mortgages, or other purchase money liens, pledges, security interests or encumbrances of any kind upon property hereafter acquired by the Company, or Liens of any
kind existing on any property or any shares of stock at the time of the acquisition thereof (including Liens which exist on any property or any shares of stock of a Person which is consolidated with or merged with or into the Company or which
transfers or leases all or substantially all of its properties to the Company), or conditional sales agreements or other title retention agreements and leases in the nature of title retention agreements with respect to any property hereafter
acquired; provided, however, that no such Lien shall extend to or cover any other property of the Company; 

  

	 	(2)	 Liens upon any property of the Company or any shares of stock of any Material Subsidiary of the Company existing as of the date of the initial issuance of the
Series A Senior Notes or upon the shares of stock of any corporation, which Liens existed at the time such corporation became a Material Subsidiary of the Company; liens for taxes or assessments or other governmental charges or levies; pledges to

 7

performance or return-of-money bonds; other pledges or deposits for similar purposes in the ordinary course of business; liens created by or resulting from any litigation or proceeding which at the time is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings; liens incurred in connection with the issuance of bankers’ acceptances and lines of credit, bankers’ liens or rights of offset and any security given in the ordinary course of business to banks or others to secure

property in the operation of the business of the Company or the value of such property for the purpose of such business; 


  

	 	(3)	Liens in favor of the United States, any foreign country or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction, to secure partial, progress,

	 	(4)	indebtedness which may be issued by the Company in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company with or into any other Person
(which may be an Affiliate of the Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company) in exchange for or otherwise in substitution for secured indebtedness of such Person (“Third Party Debt”) which by its terms (i) is secured by a mortgage
on all or a portion of the property of such Person, (ii) prohibits secured indebtedness from being incurred by such Person, unless the Third Party Debt shall be secured equally and ratably with such secured indebtedness or (iii) prohibits secured
indebtedness from being incurred by such Person; 

  

	 	(5)	indebtedness of any Person which is required to be assumed by the Company in connection with a consolidation or merger of such Person, with respect to which any property of the

and commencement of full commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price or cost thereof; provided that in the case of such construction, development or improvement
the Liens shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Company other than theretofore unimproved real property; 

  

	 	(7)	Liens in favor of the Company, one or more Material Subsidiaries of the Company, one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company or any of the foregoing in combination;

through (7) inclusive, or the replacement, extension or renewal (not exceeding the principal amount of indebtedness secured thereby together with any premium, interest, fee or expense payable in connection with any such replacement, extension or
renewal) of the indebtedness secured thereby; provided that such replacement, extension or renewal is limited to all or a part of the same property that secured the Lien replaced, extended or renewed (plus improvements thereon or additions or
accessions thereto); or 

  

	 	(9)	any other Lien not excepted by the foregoing clauses (1) through (8); provided that immediately after the creation or assumption of such Lien, the aggregate principal amount of
indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company secured by all Liens created or assumed under the provisions of this clause (9) shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the common shareholders’ equity of the Company, as shown on its
consolidated balance sheet for the accounting period occurring immediately prior to the creation or assumption of such Lien.

5.20% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Series A Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest; provided that the interest payable at Stated Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. The Regular Record Date shall be the close of business on the Business Day
preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, that with respect to Series A Senior Notes that are not represented by one or more Global Securities, the Regular Record Date shall be the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or
duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Series A Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Series A Senior Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Series A Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said
Indenture. 
  
 Payments of interest on the Series A Senior Notes
will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Series A Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on
which interest is payable on the Series A Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any
such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
  
 Payment of the principal of and interest on this Series A Senior Note will be made at the office of the Paying Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City
and State of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any Series A Senior Note
being made upon surrender of such Series A Senior Note to such office or agency; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest, subject to such surrender where applicable, may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least
sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. 
  
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Series A Senior Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 REVERSE OF SERIES A SENIOR NOTE 
  
 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 June 1, 2000, as heretofore supplemented and amended and as further supplemented by a Twenty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 1, 2004 (collectively, as
amended or supplemented from time to time, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as
Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), 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 (the “Series A
Senior Notes”) which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount. 
  
 The Series A Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Series A Senior Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Series A Senior Notes 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 Securities at the time 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 certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Series A Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Series A Senior Note and of any Series A Senior Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Series A Senior Note. 
  
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Series A Senior Note 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 Series A Senior Notes, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Series A Senior Notes 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 Series A Senior Notes 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 

  

 5 








 
suit instituted by the Holder of this Series A Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or interest hereon on
or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein. 
  
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Series A Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Series A Senior Note 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 Series A Senior Note is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Series A Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Series A Senior Note 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 Series A
Senior Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
  
 The Series A Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Series A Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Series A Senior Notes having the same Stated Maturity and of like
tenor of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder upon surrender of the Series A Senior Note or Series A Senior Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company. 
  
 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 Series A Senior Note 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 Series A Senior Note 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 Series A Senior Note that are
defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
