                                    ACCOUNTS

         5.1      VALUATION OF ACCOUNT

        As of each Valuation Date, a Participant's Account Balance as of the
immediately preceding Valuation Date, shall be adjusted as follows:

                  (a)      increased by the Participant's Growth Allocation, if
                           any, to be credited to such Account pursuant to
                           Article IV;

                           the Participant since the immediately preceding
                           Valuation Date.

         5.2      CREDITING OF INTEREST.

         As of each Valuation Date, each Participant's Account shall be
increased by interest earned on his or her Account Balance at a rate equal to

shall be determined as of each Valuation Date and shall be calculated on the
average daily balance of each Participant's Account Balance based on a 360

                                       9

day year and on the actual number of days elapsed since the last Valuation Date.
Until a Participant or his or her Beneficiary receives his or her entire Account
Balance, interest shall be credited to the Participant's Account as provided in
this Section 5.2.

         5.3      STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS.

         The Committee shall provide to each Participant, within 60 days after
the close of each Plan Year, a statement setting forth the Participant's Account

during such Plan Year.

         5.4      VESTING OF ACCOUNT.

         Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4, a Participant shall
become vested in the portion of the Growth Allocations which have been added to
his Account in the Plan as follows: (i) at the time that a Growth Allocation has
been added to the Participant's Account in the Plan, which will be within 120
days after the end of the Plan Year with respect to which the Growth Allocation
was made, the Participant shall be immediately vested in twenty percent (20%) of
the amount so added, and (ii) on the final day of the Plan Year immediately
following the Plan Year with respect to which the Growth Allocation was made,
and on the final day of each of the three Plan Years thereafter, the Participant
shall be vested in an additional twenty percent (20%) of the amount so added.
For example, if $15,000 was allocated to a Participant's Account for the Initial
Period, and said amount is actually added to his account on August 1, 2003, the
Participant will be vested in 20% of $15,000, or in $3,000, on August 1, 2003;
he will be vested in an additional 20% ($3,000) on June 30, 2004, in an
additional 20% ($3,000) on June 30, 2005, in an additional 20% ($3,000) on June
30, 2006, and in an additional 20% ($3,000) on June 30, 2007, at which time he
will be fully vested in the $15,000 which was allocated to him with respect to
the Initial Period (which ended on June 30, 2003). If a Growth allocation is
made with respect to the Plan Year ended June 30, 2004, it will become vested in
the same manner, and will

                                       10
<PAGE>

be fully vested on June 30, 2008. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
each Participant's Account shall become 100% vested. The unvested portion of a
Participant's Account shall also become 100% vested at the first to occur of the
Participant's death, Disability or Retirement. The unvested portion of a
Participant's account shall terminate and be forfeited at the time of the
termination of the Participant's service as an employee of the Employer for any
reason other than death, Disability or Retirement.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                               PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         6.1      VALUATION DATE; PAYMENT OF ACCOUNT.

         Upon the death, Disability, Retirement or termination of service of the
Participant as an employee of the Employer, for any other reason, (a) the date
of such event shall be a Valuation Date with respect to the Participant's
Account, and (b) the Employer shall pay to the Participant or his or her
Beneficiary his or her vested Account Balance determined pursuant to Article V,
in accordance with the terms of this Article VI.

         6.2      FORM OF PAYMENT UPON DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT.

         A Participant's Account Balance shall be paid in one of the following
forms:

                  (a)      The normal form of payment shall be annual payments
         of a fixed amount which shall amortize the vested Account Balance as of
         the payment commencement date over a period of five (5) or ten (10)
         years (together, in the case of each annual payment, with interest
         allocable to each such payment accruing after the payment commencement
         date pursuant to Section 5.2). The Participant or his/her beneficiary,
         as applicable, may elect the five or ten year payment schedule.

                  (b)      The Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to
         make a lump sum payment.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         6.3      PAYMENTS TO BENEFICIARIES.

         In the event of a Participant's death prior to his or her receipt of
the entire Account Balance, the Beneficiary will receive the remaining Account
Balance at such times as payments would have been made to the Participant under
the Plan.

         6.4      HARDSHIP WITHDRAWAL

         In the event that the Committee, under written request of a
Participant, determines, in its sole discretion, that the Participant has
suffered an unforeseeable financial emergency, the Employer shall pay to the
Participant, as soon as practicable following such determination, an amount
necessary to meet the emergency (the "Hardship Withdrawal"), but not exceeding
the Participant's vested Account Balance as of the date of such payment. For
purposes of this Section 6.4, an "unforeseeable financial emergency" shall mean
an event that the Committee determines to give rise to an unexpected need for
cash arising from an illness, casualty loss, sudden financial reversal or other
such unforeseeable occurrence. Amounts of Hardship Withdrawal may not exceed the
amount the Committee reasonably determines to be necessary to meet such
emergency needs (including taxes incurred by reason of a taxable distribution).
The Participant's Account Balance that is otherwise payable under the Plan to
such Participant shall be adjusted to reflect the early payment of the Hardship
Withdrawal.

         6.5      COMMENCEMENT OF PAYMENTS.

         Commencement of payments under this Article VI shall begin within
ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the event triggering such payment
under the Plan.

         6.6      SMALL BENEFIT.

         In the event the Committee determines that a Participant's Account
Balance is less than $5,000 at the time of commencement of payments, or the
Account Balance payable to any Beneficiary is less than $5,000 at the time of
commencement of payments, the Committee may

                                       12
<PAGE>

inform the Employer, and the Employer, in its discretion, may choose to pay the
benefit in the form of a lump sum payment, notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan or a Participant election to the contrary. Such lump sum payment shall be
equal to Participant's Account Balance or the portion thereof payable to a
Beneficiary.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                             BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

         7.1      BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.

         Each Participant shall have the sole right, at any time, to designate
any person or persons as his or her Beneficiary to whom payment under the Plan
shall be made in the event of his or her death prior to complete distribution to
the Participant of his or her Account Balance. A Beneficiary designation shall
be made by filing an enrollment form with the Committee and shall be effective
only when received in writing by the Committee.

         7.2      CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.

         Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant by the
filing of a new enrollment form with the Committee, which will cancel all
Beneficiary designations previously filed. The designation of a Beneficiary may
be made or changed at any time without the consent of any person.

         7.3      NO DESIGNATION.

        If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or
if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then the
Participant's designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant's
estate.

                                       13

         7.4      EFFECT OF PAYMENT.

         Payment of the Account Balance to a Participant's Beneficiary (or, upon
the death of a primary Beneficiary, to the contingent Beneficiary or, if none,
to the Participant's estate) shall completely discharge the Employer's
obligations under the Plan.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 ADMINISTRATION

         8.1      COMMITTEE.

         The Committee shall be appointed by the Board. At least one member of
the Committee shall be a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board. The
initial members of the Committee are listed on Exhibit A. From time to time, the
Board may remove, replace, substitute, add or select new members of the
Committee, as determined by it in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have
(i) complete discretion to supervise the administration and operation of the
Plan, (ii) complete discretion to adopt rules and procedures governing the Plan
from time to time, and (iii) authority to give interpretive rulings with respect
to the Plan.

         8.2      AGENTS.

         The Committee may appoint an individual, who may be an employee of the
Company, to be the Committee's agent with respect to the day-to-day
administration of the Plan. In addition, the Committee may, from time to time,
employ other agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees
fit, and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the
Company.

         8.3      BINDING EFFECT OF DECISIONS.

         Any decision or action of the Committee with respect to any question
arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and
application of the Plan shall be final and binding upon all Participants and any
other persons having any interest in the Plan.

                                       14

         8.4      INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE.

         The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the
Committee and their duly appointed agents under Section 8.2 against any and all
claims, loss, damage, expense or liability arising from any action or failure to
act with respect to the Plan, except in the case of gross negligence or willful
misconduct by any such member or agent of the Committee.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

         9.1      AMENDMENT.

         The Company, on behalf of itself and of each Selected Affiliate may at
any time amend, suspend or reinstate any or all of the provisions of the Plan,
except that no such amendment, suspension or reinstatement may adversely affect
any Participant's Account Balance, as it existed as of the day before the
effective date of such amendment, suspension or reinstatement, without such
Participant's prior written consent. The Committee or its delegate as the case
may be, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the date of payment of a
Participant's Account Balance. Written notice of any amendment or other action
with respect to the Plan shall be given to each Participant.

         9.2      TERMINATION.

         The Company, on behalf of itself and of each Selected Affiliate, in its
sole discretion, may terminate this Plan at any time and for any reason
whatsoever. Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee shall take those actions
necessary to administer any Accounts existing prior to the effective date of
such termination; provided, however, that a termination of the Plan shall not
adversely affect the value of a Participant's Account Balance, as it existed as
of the day before the effective date of such termination, or the timing or
method of distribution of a Participant's Account Balance, without the
Participant's prior written consent. Notwithstanding

                                       15
<PAGE>

the foregoing, a termination of the Plan shall not give rise to accelerated or
automatic vesting of any Participant's Account Balance; existing Account
Balances shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         9.3      CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         Upon a Change of Control, the plan is to be terminated with all
benefits to be distributed to Participants in a lump sum.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         10.1     FUNDING.

         Participants, their Beneficiaries, and their heirs, successors and
assigns, shall have no secured interest or claim in any property or assets of
the Company. The Company's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an
unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future.

         10.2     NONASSIGNABILITY.

         No right or interest under the Plan of a Participant or his or her
Beneficiary (or any person claiming through or under any of them) shall be
assignable or transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation,
anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance or other legal process or in any manner
be liable for or subject to the debts or liabilities of any such Participant or
Beneficiary. If any Participant or Beneficiary shall attempt to or shall
transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his
or her benefits hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason of his or her
bankruptcy or other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon
anyone else or would not be enjoyed by him or her, then the Committee, in its
discretion, may terminate his or her interest in any such benefit (including the
Account) to the

                                       16
<PAGE>

extent the Committee considers necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the
effects of such occurrence. Termination shall be effected by making a written
"termination declaration" by the Committee and making reasonable efforts to
deliver a copy to the Participant or Beneficiary whose interest is adversely
affected (the "Terminated Participant").

         As long as the Terminated Participant is alive, any benefits affected
by the termination shall be retained by the Company and, in the Committee's sole
and absolute judgment, may be paid to or expended for the benefit of the
Terminated Participant, his or her spouse, his or her children or any other
person or persons in fact dependent upon him or her in such a manner as the
Committee shall deem proper. Upon the death of the Terminated Participant, all
benefits withheld from him or her and not paid to others in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall be disposed of according to the provisions of the Plan
that would apply if he or she died prior to the time that all benefits to which
he or she was entitled were paid to him or her.

         10.3     CAPTIONS.

         The captions contained herein are for convenience only and shall not
control or affect the meaning or construction hereof.

         10.4     GOVERNING LAW.

        The provisions of the Plan shall be constructed and interpreted
according to the laws of the State of Delaware.

         10.5     SUCCESSORS.

         The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Company, its Selected Affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns.

         10.6     RIGHT TO CONTINUED SERVICE.

         Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer upon any Eligible
Employee the right to continue to serve as an Eligible Employee of the Employer
or in any other capacity.

         10.7     CLAIMS PROCEDURE.

         If a payment under this Plan is not made to a Participant or
Beneficiary and such person believes that he or she is entitled to receive it, a
claim shall be made in writing to the Committee within sixty (60) days from the
date payment was to be made. Such claim shall be reviewed by the Committee and
the Company. If the claim is denied, in full or in part, the Committee shall
provide written notice within ninety (90) days setting forth the specific
reasons for denial. The notice shall include specific reference to the
provisions of this Plan upon which the denial is based and any additional
material or information necessary to perfect the claim, if any. Such written
notice shall also indicate the steps to be taken if a review of the denial is
desired. A claim shall be treated as denied if the Committee does not take
action in the aforesaid ninety (90) day period.

         If the claim is denied and a review is desired, the claimant shall
notify the Committee in writing within sixty (60) days of receipt of the written
notice of denial, or if no notice of denial is sent by the Committee, within
sixty (60) days of the end of the prior ninety (90) day period. In requesting
review, the claimant may review this Plan or any documents relating to it and
submit any written issues and comments he or she may feel appropriate in his or
her sole discretion within sixty (60) days of the date of the written request
for review of the Committee's denial. The Committee shall render a decision
regarding the claim within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for
review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered within a reasonable time,
but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request
for review. The decision of the Committee shall be in writing and shall include
specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the Plan provisions
on which the decision is based. If a copy of the decision is not so furnished to
the claimant within such one hundred twenty (120) days, the claim shall be
deemed denied on

                                       18

review. In no event may a claimant commence legal action for benefits the
claimant believes are due the claimant until the claimant has exhausted all of
the remedies and procedures afforded the claimant by this Section 10.7.

                                   ARTICLE I
                          5.625% Senior Notes DUE 2015

          SECTION 1.01 ESTABLISHMENT. There is hereby established a new series
of Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the
Company's 5.625% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "5.625% Notes").

          There are to be authenticated and delivered $200,000,000 principal
amount of 5.625% Notes, and no further 5.625% Notes shall be authenticated and
delivered except as provided by Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 of the
Original Indenture or except in connection with a reopening of a series as
provided below. The 5.625% Notes shall be issued in definitive fully registered
form without coupons. A series may be reopened for issuances of additional
5.625% Notes.

          The 5.625% Notes shall be in substantially the form set out in Exhibit
A hereto, and the form of the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication for the
5.625% Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

          Each 5.625% Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and
shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for.

          SECTION 1.02 DEFINITIONS. The following defined terms used herein
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below.
Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Original Indenture.

          "Interest Payment Dates" means February 13 and August 13, commencing
August 13, 2003.

          "Regular Record Date" means February 1 and August 1.

          "Stated Maturity" means February 13, 2005.

          SECTION 1.03 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The unpaid principal
amount of the 5.625% Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 5.625% per annum
until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from February 13, 2003
or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for. Interest shall be paid semiannually in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name the 5.625% Notes are
registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided
that interest payable at the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date 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 will be paid
to the Person or Persons in whose name the 5.625% Notes are registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted
interest to be fixed by the Company ("Special Record Date"), notice whereof
shall be given to Holders of the 5.625% Notes not less than fifteen (15) days
prior to such Special Record Date, as more fully provided in the Original
Indenture.

<PAGE>

          Payments of interest on the 5.625% Notes will include interest accrued
to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for
the 5.625% 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 5.625% 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) with the same
force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

          Payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 5.625%
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 or on an earlier Redemption Date of any 5.625% Notes being made
upon surrender of such 5.625% 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.

          SECTION 1.04 DENOMINATIONS. The 5.625% Notes may be issued in
denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

          SECTION 1.05 GLOBAL SECURITIES. The 5.625% Notes will initially be
issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of
the Depositary (which initially shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its
nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, 5.625% Notes
represented by such Global Security or Global Securities will not be
exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, 5.625% 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.

          A Global Security shall be exchangeable for 5.625% Notes registered in
the names of the 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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, (ii) the Company in its sole
discretion determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or
(iii) an Event of Default shall have occurred. Any Global Security that is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for 5.625%
Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

          SECTION 1.06 REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY. The 5.625% Notes
will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any
time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of :

     o    100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.625% Notes to be
          redeemed; or

     o    as determined by the Quotation Agent (defined below), the sum of the
          present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal on the
          5.625% Notes, together with the present value of all remaining and
          scheduled semi-annual interest payments on the 5.625% Notes,
          discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a
          360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate
          (defined below) plus 20 basis points (the "Make-Whole Amount");

together in each case with accrued interest payments to the Redemption Date.

          For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following
definitions apply:

          "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
term of the 5.625% Notes 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 such 5.625% Notes.

          "Comparable Treasury Price" means with respect to any Redemption Date
(1) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption
Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, or (2) if the fewer than five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
are obtained, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

          "Quotation Agent" means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the
Company.

          "Redemption Date" means the date fixed for redemption of the 5.625%
Notes.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer" means a primary independent United States
government securities dealer.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by
the Quotation Agent, 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 Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30
p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding the Redemption
Date.

          "Treasury Rate" means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent or interpolated (on a day-count basis) 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 that Redemption Date.

                                       4

<PAGE>

         The Company will mail a notice of redemption at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of the 5.625% Notes
to be redeemed. If less than all of the 5.625% Notes are to be redeemed, the
Trustee will select, by such method as it will deem fair and appropriate,
including pro rata or by lot, the 5.625% Notes to be redeemed in whole or in
part.

          Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and
after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the 5.625% Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption.

          SECTION 1.07 PAYING AGENT. The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying
Agent with respect to the 5.625% Notes, with the Place of Payment initially
being the Corporate Trust Office.

                                   ARTICLE II
                            Miscellaneous Provisions

          SECTION 2.01 RECITALS BY CORPORATION. The recitals in this
Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee, and
all of the provisions contained in the Original Indenture in respect of the
rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be
applicable in respect of the 5.625% Notes and of this Third Supplemental
Indenture as fully and with like effect as if set forth herein in full.

          SECTION 2.02 RATIFICATION AND INCORPORATION OF ORIGINAL INDENTURE. As
supplemented hereby, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and
confirmed, and the Original Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture, the
Second Supplemental Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture shall be
read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

          SECTION 2.03 EXECUTED IN COUNTERPARTS. This Third Supplemental
Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute one and the
same instrument.

<PAGE>

Stated Maturity at the rate per annum shown above (the "Interest Rate") until
the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and on any overdue
principal and on, to the extent permitted by law, any overdue installment of
interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date that is the
Stated Maturity) will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in
whose name this 5.625% Senior Note (this "Security") is registered at the close
of business on the Regular Record Date as specified above next preceding such
Interest Payment Date; provided that any interest payable at Stated Maturity
will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture, 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 will be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by or on behalf of the Company, notice
whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 15
days prior to such Special Record Date, as more fully provided in said
Indenture.

          Payments of interest on this Security will include interest accrued to
but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for this
Security 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 this
Security 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) with the same force and
effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. "Business Day"
means a day other than a day on which banks in New York, New York are authorized
or required by law, executive order or regulation to remain closed.

          Payment of the principal of, on and interest due at the Stated
Maturity of this Security shall be made upon surrender of this Security, at the
Corporate Trust Office, 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. Payment of interest (including interest on an 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.

          REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY
SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES
HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

the Trustee, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

(Reverse Side of Security)

          This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the
Company (the "Securities"), issued and issuable in one or more series under a
Senior Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2001, as supplemented (the
"Indenture"), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities issued thereunder and of the terms upon which said Securities are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series
designated on the face hereof as 5.625% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "5.625%
Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200,000,000, subject to the
ability of the Company to re-open the series and issue additional 5.625% Notes
as provided in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein for which no
definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Indenture.

          The Securities will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option
of the Company at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to
the greater of (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to
be redeemed or (2) as determined by the Quotation Agent (defined below), the sum
of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal on the
Securities, together with the present value of all remaining and scheduled
semi-annual interest payments on the Securities, discounted to the Redemption
Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate (defined below) plus 20 basis points (the
"Make-Whole Amount"), together in each case with accrued interest payments to
the Redemption Date.

          For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following
definitions apply:

          "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by the Quotation Agent 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 such Securities.

          "Comparable Treasury Price" means with respect to any Redemption Date
(1) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the Redemption
Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, or (2) if the fewer than five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
are obtained, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

          "Quotation Agent" means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the
Company.

          "Redemption Date" means the date fixed for redemption of the
Securities.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer" means a primary independent United States
government securities dealer.

                                      A-5

<PAGE>

          "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by
the Quotation Agent, 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 Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30
p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding the Redemption
Date.

          "Treasury Rate" means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent or interpolated (on a day-count basis) 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 that Redemption Date.

          The Company will mail a notice of redemption at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of the Securities to
be redeemed. If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the trustee
will select, by such method as it will deem fair and appropriate, including pro
rata or by lot, the Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part.

          Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and
after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or
portions thereof called for redemption.

          If an Event of Default with respect to the 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, with the effect and subject to
the conditions 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 all series affected
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee (i) in certain
circumstances without the consent of the Holders and (ii) in other circumstances
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby. The Indenture
contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series with respect to
which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, on
behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive,
with certain exceptions, such default under the Indenture and its 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
hereof 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 principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

                                      A-6

<PAGE>

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the security
register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of
transfer at the office or agency of the Company for such purpose, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and 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 of like tenor and for
the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees. 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.

          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Security 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
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of this series 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 shall have offered the Trustee such
indemnity as it may require, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series
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
suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any
payment of principal hereof, premium, if any, hereon or any interest hereon on
or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

          The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the
entire indebtedness represented by the 5.625% Notes and for covenant defeasance
at any time of certain covenants in the Indenture upon compliance with certain
conditions set forth in the Indenture.

          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, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

          The Securities of this series 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 the limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Security or
Securities to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company.

          This Security shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the internal laws of the State of New York.
