nominee. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only
through the Depositary.

 .........A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series H 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, 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, in each case within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or
becomes aware of such cessation, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion
determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) there

Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be

to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
therewith.

any Series H Notes except to the Insurer during a period beginning at the

the Original Indenture and to the Trust Indenture Act, including, without
limitation, Sections 316(a)(1) and 317(a) thereof, if an Event of Default with

the Holders of the Series H Notes under the Indenture, including, without
limitation, (i) the right to accelerate the principal of the Series H Notes as
provided in Section 502 of the Original Indenture, and (ii) the right to annul

the obligation of the Trustee to comply with any such direction to be subject to
compliance with the conditions set forth in Sections 512 and 603(e) of the
Original Indenture (as if references in those Sections to Holders were
references to the Insurer) and the protections provided to the Trustee by
Section 601(c)(3) of the Original Indenture shall be applicable with respect to
any direction from the Insurer given pursuant hereto (as if references in said
Section to Holders were references to the Insurer).

        In addition to the Events of Default listed in the Original Indenture,
the occurrence and continuance of an "Event of Default" under the Insurance
Agreement dated as of February 23, 2001 between the Company and the Insurer, as
the same may be amended, shall also constitute an Event of Default with respect
to the Series H Notes.

        SECTION 203. Insurance Policy Payment Procedures. (a) The Insurer will
make payments of principal or interest due on the Series H Notes in accordance
with the Policy on or before the first (1st) Business Day next following the
date on which the Insurer shall have received notice of Nonpayment (as defined
in the Policy) from the Trustee.

        (b) In the event of Nonpayment and notification thereof to the Insurer,
the Security Registrar shall make available to the Insurer and, at the Insurer's
direction, to the Insurance Trustee, the books kept by the Security Registrar
for the registration and for the registration of transfer of Series H Notes as
provided in the Indenture.

        (c) The Trustee shall, at the time it provides notice to the Insurer
pursuant to (a) above, notify Holders of Series H Notes entitled to receive the
payment of principal or interest thereon from the Insurer (i) as to the fact of
such entitlement, (ii) that the Insurer will remit to them all or a part of the
interest payments next coming due upon proof of Holder entitlement to interest
payments and delivery to the Insurance Trustee, in form satisfactory to the
Insurance Trustee, of an appropriate assignment of the Holder's right to
payment, (iii) that should they be entitled to receive full payment of principal
from the Insurer, they must surrender their Series H Notes (along with an
appropriate instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the Insurance
Trustee to permit ownership of such Series H Notes to be registered in the name
of the Insurer) for payment to the Insurance Trustee, and not the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, and (iv) that should they be entitled to receive partial payment
of principal from the Insurer, they must surrender their Series H Notes for
payment thereon first to the Trustee, who shall note on such Series H Notes the
portion of the principal paid by the Trustee, and then, along with an
appropriate instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the Insurance
Trustee, to the Insurance Trustee, which will then pay the unpaid portion of
principal.

        (d) In the event that the Trustee has notice that any payment of
principal of or interest on a Series H Note which has become Due for Payment (as
defined in the Policy) and which is made to a Holder by or on behalf of the
Company has been deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore recovered from
its Holder pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in
bankruptcy in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having
competent jurisdiction, the Trustee shall, at the time the Insurer is notified
pursuant to (a) above, notify all Holders of the Series H Notes that in the
event that any Holder's payment is so recovered, such Holder will be entitled to
payment from the Insurer to the extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are
not otherwise available, and the Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer its
records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on the Series H
Notes which have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from
Holders and the dates on which such payments were made.

        (e) In addition to those rights granted the Insurer under the Indenture,
the Insurer shall, to the extent it makes payment of principal of or interest on
Series H Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such
payments in accordance with the terms of the Policy, and to evidence such
subrogation (i) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due interest,
the Trustee shall note the Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration
books of the Company maintained by the Trustee upon receipt from the Insurer of
proof of the payment of interest thereon to the Holders of the Series H Notes,
and (ii) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due principal, the
Trustee shall note the Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books of
the Company maintained by the Trustee upon surrender of the Series H Notes by
the Holders thereof together with proof of the payment of principal thereof.

        SECTION 204. Application of Term "Outstanding" to Series H Notes. In the
event that the principal and/or interest due on the Series H Notes shall be paid
by the Insurer pursuant to the Policy, the Series H Notes shall remain
Outstanding for all purposes of the Indenture, not be considered defeased or
otherwise satisfied and not be considered paid by the Company, and the
assignment and pledge of the Indenture and all covenants, agreements and other
obligations of the Company to the Holders of the Series H Notes shall continue
to exist and shall run to the benefit of the Insurer, and the Insurer shall be
subrogated to the rights of such Holders to the extent of each such payment.

        SECTION 205. Insurer as Third Party Beneficiary. To the extent that the
Indenture confers upon or gives or grants to the Insurer any right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of the Indenture, the Insurer is hereby explicitly

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, with the same force and
effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. A "Business

banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or
executive order to remain closed or a day on which the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee is closed for business.

earlier redemption of the Series H Notes shall be made upon surrender of the

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 16
days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

         Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy No. 17951BE (the "Policy") with
respect to payments due for principal of and interest on this Note has been
issued by Ambac Assurance Corporation ("Ambac Assurance"). The Policy has been
delivered to The Bank of New York, New York, New York, as the Insurance Trustee
under said Policy and will be held by such Insurance Trustee or any successor
insurance trustee. The Policy is on file and available for inspection at the
principal office of the Insurance Trustee and a copy thereof may be secured from
Ambac Assurance or the Insurance Trustee. All payments required to be made under
the Policy shall be made in accordance with the provisions thereof. The owner of
this Note acknowledges and consents to the subrogation rights of Ambac Assurance
as more fully set forth in the Policy.

         REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS 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.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by

                             (Reverse Side of Note)

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Notes of the
Company (the "Notes"), issued and issuable in one or more series under a Senior
Note Indenture, dated as of January 1, 1998, as supplemented (the "Indenture"),
between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, Trustee (the "Trustee," which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures incidental 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 Notes issued thereunder and of
the terms upon which said Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof as Series H 6.70%

aggregate principal amount of up to $100,000,000. Capitalized terms used herein
for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in
the Indenture.

         The Company shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions
of the Indenture, to redeem this Note at any time on or after March 1, 2004 at
the option of the Company, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, at a
Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus
accrued but unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

         In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or
Notes of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. The Notes will not have a
sinking fund.

         If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes 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 Notes 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 not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes 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 Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of
all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note 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 Note.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Note 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 satisfactory to the Company and the Security

authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes 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.
