The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates, may have different conversion prices (if any), may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series designated as the "7.975% Notes Due August 15, 2004" of the Company (the "Notes") issued under the Indenture with an aggregate principal amount at its Stated Maturity of $274,189,350 (the "Principal Amount"). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C.77aaa-77bbb) as in effect from time to time. The Notes are subject to all such terms and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 for a statement of those terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in the Notes have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture. 2. Interest. The Notes shall bear interest on the Principal Amount at the rate of 7.975% per annum (the "Specified Rate"). The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date") commencing on February 15, 1996. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from August 15, 1995 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest payment at the Stated Maturity of the Principal Amount will include interest accrued to but excluding the date of such Stated Maturity and will be payable to the Person to whom principal is payable. If the Principal Amount of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes is declared due and payable as provided in Section 10, the Company shall pay interest on the overdue Principal Amount at a rate per annum equal to the Specified Rate, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable). Such interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable in cash on demand. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. Such date shall be at least five, and no more than 15, Trading Days before the payment date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed the special record date and the payment date.

Holders must surrender Notes to the Trustee to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay interest, defaulted interest, defaulted principal and principal at the Stated Maturity of such principal in cash. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to Holders at their last addresses as the same appear on the Security Register. The Company has appointed the Trustee to be Security registrar, but has reserved the right to change the registrar or to itself act as registrar (the Trustee or such other registrar, the "Registrar"). The Company shall also have the right, at its sole option, to make all interest payments by wire transfer in accordance with the wire transfer instructions furnished to the Registrar at least 30 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date by each Holder that wishes to receive payment by wire transfer. The Company shall not be liable for any delay in payment or transfer with respect to interest payments made by the Company by way of wire transfer. The election by the Company to make any particular interest payment by wire transfer shall not create any implication that any future interest payment shall be made by wire transfer. 4. No Redemption. The Notes are not redeemable prior to the Stated Maturity of the Principal Amount and will not be subject to any sinking fund. 5. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 ("Authorized Denominations"), except that one Note may be in a denomination of $350.

No service charge shall be made for any such transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 6. Persons Deemed Owners. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for all purposes, whether or not such Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 7. Defeasance.

The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by a Holder of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Notes 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 such Notes or such other Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may elect, at its sole option, upon notice to the Trustee but without the consent of any Holders of the Notes, to add any restrictive covenants to the terms and conditions of the Notes or to provide that the Notes shall be convertible or exchangeable at the option of the Holder into specified equity or debt securities of the Company or any other Person. 9. Obligation Absolute.

Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the Principal Amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 11. Authentication. Unless the certificate of authentication on any Note has been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture, such Note shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 12.

This Debenture is one of a series designated as the "8.18% Debentures Due August 15, 2007" of the Company (the "Debentures") issued under the Indenture with an aggregate principal amount at its Stated Maturity of $548,378,700 (the "Principal Amount"). The terms of the Debentures include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C.77aaa-77bbb) as in effect from time to time. The Debentures are subject to all such terms and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 for a statement of those terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in the Debentures have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture. 2. Interest. The Debentures shall bear interest on the Principal Amount at the rate of 8.18% per annum (the "Specified Rate"). The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date") commencing on February 15, 1996. Interest on the Debentures shall accrue from August 15, 1995 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest payment at the Stated Maturity of the Principal Amount will include interest accrued to but excluding the date of such Stated Maturity and will be payable to the Person to whom principal is payable. If the Principal Amount of, and any accrued interest on, the Debentures is declared due and payable as provided in Section 10, the Company shall pay interest on the overdue Principal Amount at a rate per annum equal to the Specified Rate, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable). Such interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable in cash on demand. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Debentures, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. Such date shall be at least five, and no more than 15, Trading Days before the payment date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed the special record date and the payment date. At least 15 calendar days before the special record date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. "Trading Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 3. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Debentures (except defaulted interest) to the Persons in whose names the Debentures are registered at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date") on the register kept by or on behalf of the Company for that purpose, even if Debentures are canceled after such record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Debentures to the Trustee to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay interest, defaulted interest, defaulted principal and principal at the Stated Maturity of such principal in cash. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to Holders at their last addresses as the same appear on the Security Register. The Company has appointed the Trustee to be Security registrar, but has reserved the right to change the registrar or to itself act as registrar (the Trustee or such other registrar, the "Registrar"). The Company shall also have the right, at its sole option, to make all interest payments by wire transfer in accordance with the wire transfer instructions furnished to the Registrar at least 30 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date by each Holder that wishes to receive payment by wire transfer. The Company shall not be liable for any delay in payment or transfer with respect to interest payments made by the Company by way of wire transfer. The election by the Company to make any particular interest payment by wire transfer shall not create any implication that any future interest payment shall be made by wire transfer. 4. No Redemption. The Debentures are not redeemable prior to the Stated Maturity of the Principal Amount and will not be subject to any sinking fund. 5. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Debentures are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 ("Authorized Denominations"), except that one Debenture may be in a denomination of $700.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debentures at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, a new Debenture or Debentures of Authorized Denominations for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture. No service charge shall be made for any such transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 6. Persons Deemed Owners. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Debenture is registered as the owner of such Debenture for all purposes, whether or not such Debenture is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 7. Defeasance. As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth therein, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company's option, either (i) the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Securities of any series and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Securities of such series or (ii) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants under the Indenture or of any provisions set forth, with respect to the Securities of such series, in any additions or changes to or deletions from the covenants and Events of Default under the Indenture or in the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture with respect to the Securities of such series. 8. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by a Holder of the Debentures shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of such Debenture and of any Debentures 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 such Debentures or such other Debentures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may elect, at its sole option, upon notice to the Trustee but without the consent of any Holders of the Debentures, to add any restrictive covenants to the terms and conditions of the Debentures or to provide that the Debentures shall be convertible or exchangeable at the option of the Holder into specified equity or debt securities of the Company or any other Person. 9.
