[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (herein called the “Base Indenture”) dated as of December 1, 1991, between the Company and LaSalle Bank National Association (as successor to Harris Trust and Savings Bank), as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1 dated as of June 7, 2004 (the “Supplemental Indenture No. 1” and together with the Base Indenture, 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, obligations 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.

     The Company shall have the right to redeem the Securities at option of the Company at any time, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 or more than 40 days’ prior notice by mail to the Holders of the Securities, at the Optional Redemption Price which is equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date or (ii) the sum of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed, each discounted to present value at the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Comparable Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, as determined by the Quotation Agent in accordance with standard market convention (which determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error), all as provided in the Indenture.

     In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the

A-5


 

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 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each Series to be affected. 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 the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provision of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of 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 hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     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 the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, 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 Security is registrable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made to the Holders for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require

A-6


 

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to and at the time of 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 Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
