If this Debenture or any portion hereof is called for redemption,
interest shall cease to accrue on this Debenture or such portion
hereof on the date fixed for redemption.

     If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall
have occurred and be continuing, with respect to the Debentures,
the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration
shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with such effect
and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.  Any
such declaration may be rescinded by holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Debentures if all Events of
Default with respect to the Debentures (other than the non-
payment of principal of the Debentures which shall have become
due by such declaration) shall have been remedied.

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and
the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the
time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to
execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to the
Indenture or to any supplemental indenture with respect to the
Debentures, or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders
of the Debentures; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall (i) extend the maturity of any Debenture, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, of the premium thereon, if
any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or
interest thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that
in the Debentures provided, without the consent of the holder of
each Debenture so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid
principal amount of Debentures, the holders of which are required
to consent to any such supplemental indenture without the consent
of the holders of all Debentures then outstanding.

     The Debentures are issuable as registered Debentures only,
in the denomination of $1,000 and any integral multiples of
$1,000 approved by the Company, such approval to be evidenced by
the execution thereof.

     This Debenture is transferable by the registered holder
hereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing on
the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained
by the Company for that purpose, but only in the manner, subject
to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental
charge for which the Company may require reimbursement as
provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of
this Debenture.  Upon any registration of transfer, a new
registered Debenture or Debentures, of authorized denomination or
denominations, and in the same aggregate principal amount, will
be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

     The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security
registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the
absolute owner of this Debenture (whether or not this Debenture
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notations of ownership
or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security
registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account
of the principal hereof and interest due hereon as herein
provided and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor
the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security registrar shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of
or premium, if any, or interest on this Debenture, or for any
claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on
or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental
thereto, against any incorporator or against any past, present or
future stockholder, officer or member of the Board of Trustees,
as such, of the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment
or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the
acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.

     This Debenture shall be deemed to be a contract made under
the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     This Debenture shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the
certificate of authentication on the face hereof is manually
signed by the Trustee.
