The principal of this bond may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the happening of an event of default as in the Mortgage provided. This bond is transferable by the registered holder hereof in person or by attorney upon surrender hereof at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, together with a written instrument of transfer in approved form, signed by the holder, and a new bond or bonds of this series for a like principal amount in authorized denominations will be issued in exchange, all as provided in the Mortgage.

This bond is exchangeable at the option of the registered holder hereof upon surrender hereof, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, for an equal principal amount of bonds of this series of other authorized denominations, in the manner and on the terms provided in the Mortgage. Bonds of this series are to be issued initially under a book-entry only system and, except as hereinafter provided, registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") or its nominee, which shall be considered to be the holder of all bonds of this series for all purposes of the Mortgage, including, without limitation, payment by the Company of principal of and interest on such bonds of this series and receipt of notices and exercise of rights of holders of such bonds of this series. There shall be a single bond of this series which shall be immobilized in the custody of DTC with the owners of book-entry interests in bonds of this series ("Book-Entry Interests") having no right to receive bonds of this series in the form of physical securities or certificates. Ownership of Book-Entry Interests shall be shown by book-entry on the system maintained and operated by DTC, its participants (the "Participants") and certain persons acting through the Participants. Transfers of ownership of Book-Entry Interests are to be made only by DTC and the Participants by that book-entry system, the Company and the Trustee having no responsibility therefor so long as bonds of this series are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. DTC is to maintain records of positions of Participants in bonds of this series, and the Participants and persons acting through Participants are to maintain records of the purchasers and owners of Book-Entry Interests. If DTC or its nominee determines not to continue to act as a depository for the bonds of this series in connection with a book-entry only system, another depository, if available, may act instead and the single bond of this series will be transferred into the name of such other depository or its nominee, in which case the above provisions will continue to apply to the new depository. If the book- entry only system for bonds of this series is discontinued for any reason, upon surrender and cancellation of the single bond of this series registered in the name of the then depository or its nominee, new registered bonds of this series will be issued in authorized denominations to the holders of Book-Entry Interests in principal amounts coinciding with the amounts of Book-Entry Interests shown on the book-entry system immediately prior to the discontinuance thereof. Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be responsible for the accuracy of the interests shown on that system. The bonds of this series are not subject to redemption as a whole or in part prior to maturity. This bond will be repayable on October 1, 2001, at the option of the registered holder or holders hereof, at 100% of its principal amount together with interest payable to the date of repayment. The repayment option may be exercised by a registered holder or holders of this bond for less than the entire principal amount of the bond, provided the principal amount which is to be repaid to such holder is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Such election by a registered holder to tender this bond for repayment will be irrevocable. So long as this bond is held under the book-entry only system referred to above, DTC or its nominee, as registered holder of the bond, will be entitled to tender the bond on October 1, 2001 for repayment and such tender will be effected by means of DTC's Repayment Option Procedures. During the period from and including August 1, 2001 to and including September 1, 2001 or, if September 1, 2001 shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, are authorized by law to close, the next succeeding day which shall not be a legal holiday or a day on which such institutions are so authorized to close, DTC will receive instructions from its Participant or Participants (acting on behalf of the owner or owners of beneficial interests in this bond) to tender this bond for purchase under DTC's Repayment Option Procedures. Such tender for purchase will be made by DTC by means of a book-entry credit of the bond to the account of the Trustee, provided that DTC receives instructions from the tendering Participant or Participants by Noon on September 1, 2001. Promptly after the recording of such book-entry credit, DTC will provide the Trustee an Agent Put Daily Activity Report in accordance with its Repayment Option Procedures, identifying this bond and the aggregate principal amount hereof as to which such tender for purchase has been made. OWNERS OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THIS BOND WHO WISH TO EFFECTUATE THE TENDER AND REPAYMENT OF THIS BOND MUST INSTRUCT THEIR RESPECTIVE DTC PARTICIPANT OR PARTICIPANTS A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME IN ADVANCE OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2001. If at any time the use of a book-entry only system through DTC (or any successor securities depository) is discontinued with respect to this bond, tender for repayment of the bond on October 1, 2001 shall be made according to the following procedures.
