(the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or
registered assigns, the principal amount set forth on the face hereof on the
Maturity Date set forth on the face hereof, and to pay interest thereon, at the

the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or provided for, on any Interest

paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date

Person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Any such interest which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment
Date, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such
Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this 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 the Holder of this Note at least
10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any
other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payment of the
principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office of the Trustee
in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, 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; provided, however, that payment
of interest on any Interest Payment Date (other than on the Maturity Date) may
be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

            This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities
(hereinafter called the "Securities") of the Company, issued and to be issued
under an Indenture dated as of November 1, 2000 (herein called the "Indenture")
between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as
amended, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. All terms used in
this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture.

            After the completion of the issuance for which this Note is a part,
the Company may, from time to time, reopen such issuance and issue additional
Securities with the same terms (including maturity and interest payment terms)
as this Note. After such additional Securities are issued, they will be fungible
with this Note.

            This Note is one of the series of Securities designated as set forth
on the face hereof. The Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity. The Notes
will not have a sinking fund.

            If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes 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 aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding, of each series affected thereby. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of each 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 herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

                                       2

            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 time, 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 Note may be registered on the Security
Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer
at the office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York,
State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and Security Registrar duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

            The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral
multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

            No service charge will 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 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 Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
