recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, as
the case may be, payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing
September 1, 2001, at the rate of 6.50% per annum, until the principal hereof is

Holders not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or be paid at

1.    General.

      This Security is one of a duly authorized series of securities of the
Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of September 10,
1997, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the "Indenture"),
between the Company and The Bank of New York, 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, 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, originally issued
in $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount, subject to increase in accordance
with the Indenture, (herein called the "Securities"). All terms used but not
defined in this Security shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.

      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 principal of and interest on this Security at
the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

2.   Indenture.

     The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by the Officers' Certificate dated March 5, 2001
delivered pursuant thereto and the TIA. The Securities are subject to all such
terms, and the Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a
statement of them.

3.   Sinking Fund.

     The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund and the Securities are
not subject to redemption or repurchase by the Company at the option of the
Holders.

4.   Redemption.

     The Securities are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the
Company at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of
the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or (ii) as determined by
an Independent Investment Banker, 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 date of redemption) discounted to
the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points, plus,
in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.

     "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date: (i)
the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately
preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release
designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes
yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant
maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity
corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three
months before or after the Remaining Life of the Securities, 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

                                       4

<PAGE>   5

for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day
preceding the redemption date.

     "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to
the remaining term of the Securities 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 ("Remaining Life").

     "Comparable Treasury Price" means (1) the average of five Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for the applicable redemption date, after excluding
the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the
Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers
appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

     "Reference Treasury Dealer" means (i) each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner
& Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and their respective
successors; provided, however, that if either of the foregoing shall cease to be
a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary
Treasury Dealer"), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary
Treasury Dealer and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the
Trustee after consultation with the Company.

     "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for the Securities, the average, as
determined by the Independent Investment Banker, 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 Independent Investment Banker by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third
Business Day preceding such redemption date.

     Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than
60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Securities to be
redeemed.

5.   Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

     This Security is issuable only in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of U.S. $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and
herein set forth, the transfer, or the exchange for an equal principal amount,
of this Security is registrable with the Registrar upon surrender of this
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Registrar.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may, subject to certain exceptions, require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.

6.   Persons Deemed Owners.

     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
Holder in whose name this Security is registered as the owner thereof 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.

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

7.   Unclaimed Money.

     The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any
money held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains
unclaimed for two years. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must
look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law designates another person.

8.   Defeasance Prior to Maturity.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire
indebtedness of the Securities or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default
with respect to the Securities, in each case upon compliance with certain
conditions set forth therein.

9.   Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

     Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Indenture
permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into a supplemental indenture with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities), for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the
rights of the Securityholders. Subject to certain limitations described in the
Indenture, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities) may waive
compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities.
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
herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Security.

10.  Restrictive Covenants.

     The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the Company's and its
Subsidiaries' ability to create or incur certain Liens on any of their
respective properties or assets and to enter into certain sale and lease-back
transactions and on the Company's ability to engage in mergers or consolidations
or the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its
properties and assets. These limitations are subject to a number of important
qualifications and exceptions and reference is made to the Indenture for a
description thereof.

11.  Defaults and Remedies.

     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Securities may be declared (or, in certain cases, shall ipso facto become) due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

12.  Proceedings.

     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, judicial
or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver
or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Indenture, unless such Holder
shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to the Securities and unless also the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding shall
have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to
institute such proceedings as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received
from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities at the time
outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to
institute such proceeding, within 60 days. The foregoing shall not apply

                                       6

<PAGE>   7

to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any
payment of the principal hereof or any interest hereon on or after the
respective due dates expressed herein.

13.  Trustee Dealings with Company.

     The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity,
may deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee.

14.  No Recourse Against Others.

     A past, present or future director, officer, employee, shareholder or
incorporator, as such, of the Company or any successor corporation shall not
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under this Security or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration of issuance of the Securities.

15. Governing Law.

     The internal laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and
the Securities.
