[FORM OF REVERSE OF BOND]

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (herein called the “Bonds”), unlimited in aggregate principal amount, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by an indenture, dated as of August 1, 1945, executed by the Company to City Bank Farmers Trust Company, now Citibank, N.A. (herein called the “Trustee”) (said indenture being herein called the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including the Eighty-fifth Supplemental Indenture hereinafter referred to) reference is hereby made for a description of the properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereto, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, secured. To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the Bonds may be made with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of not less than 75% in amount of the Bonds entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Bondholders called and held as provided in the Indenture, and by an affirmative vote of not less than 75% in amount of the Bonds of any series entitled to vote then outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Indenture are so affected; provided, however, that no such modification or alteration shall be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest on, this Bond, which are unconditional. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Bond is one of a series designated as “First Mortgage Bonds, 6.70% Series Due 2014” of the Company, issued under and secured by the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto and described in an indenture supplemental thereto (herein called the “Eighty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of June 9, 2004, executed by the Company to the Trustee.

The Bonds of this Series are subject to redemption at any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed, or (b) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus fifty (50) basis points, together, in each case of both (a) and (b), with accrued interest to the redemption date.

The redemption price will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of this Series that would be used, at the time of the selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Bonds of this Series.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date: (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if, the Trustee obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed as such by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (a) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and its successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (b) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding that redemption date.

Notice of any such redemption shall be mailed by the Company, postage prepaid, not less than thirty and no more than sixty days prior to the date of redemption, to the owner of this Bond at such owner’s address as the same shall appear on the transfer register of the Company. Any notice so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the owner receives it.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds or portion of the Bonds called for redemption.

In case an event of default (as defined in the Indenture) shall occur, the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.

[This Bond is a Global Bond and will be exchangeable for certificated Bonds of like series and terms and of differing authorized denominations in a like aggregate principal amount, only if (i) the The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or the Company becomes aware that DTC has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that this Bond shall be exchangeable for certificated Bonds or (iii) an event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture. Upon any such exchange, certificated Bonds shall be registered in the names of the beneficial owners of this Bond, which names shall be provided by DTC’s relevant Participants (as identified by DTC) to the Trustee.]³

This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, on the books of the Company to be kept for that purpose at the agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond and on presentation of a duly executed written instrument of transfer, and thereupon a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of the same aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange therefor; and this Bond, with or without others of like series, may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new Bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations but of the same aggregate principal amount; all upon payment of the charges and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or the interest on, this Bond, or for any claim based hereon or on the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, as such, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise released by the terms of the Indenture.

³ To be inserted on Bonds in global form only.

This Bond shall be subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Indenture and the Eighty-fifth Supplemental Indenture.

This Bond shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, but without giving effect to applicable principles and conflicts of law.

For all purposes hereof, all terms contained in this Supplemental Indenture shall, except as the context may otherwise require or as provided herein, have the meanings given to such terms in Article I of the Original Indenture.

If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one global bond to a beneficial interest in another global security, the registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the global bond to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the global bond from which such interest is being transferred.

A global bond may not be transferred as a whole except by the depository to a nominee of the depository or by a nominee of the depository to the depository or another nominee of the depository or by the depository or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor depository.

Any holder requesting the transfer or exchange of a global bond (a bond issued in global form without interest coupons) bearing a restrictive legend representing Bonds of 2014 Series issued and sold pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act ( a “Rule 144A Global Bond”) (or an interest therein) for a global bond representing Bonds of 2014 Series issued and sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (a “Regulation S Global Bond”) (or an interest therein) must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Regulation S Certificate, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto;provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the holder of a Bond of 2014 Series that does not bear a restrictive legend, then no certification is required.

Any holder requesting the transfer or exchange of a Regulation S Global Bond (or an interest therein) for a Rule 144A Global Bond (or an interest therein) must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate, in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto;provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the holder of a Bond of 2014 Series that does not bear a restrictive legend, then no certification is required.

This Supplemental Indenture and the Bonds of 2014 Series shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, but without giving effect to applicable principles and conflicts of law.
