to wit:

                              ARTICLE 1.

               FORM AND PROVISIONS OF BONDS OF SERIES D

     SECTION 1.01.  Designation; Amount.  The bonds of Series D shall be
designated "First and Refunding Mortgage 7-7/8% Bonds, 1994 Series D" and,
subject to Section 2.08 of the Mortgage Indenture, shall not exceed one hundred
and forty million dollars ($140,000,000) in aggregate principal amount at any
one time outstanding.  The initial issue of the bonds of Series D may be
effected upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Mortgage
Indenture.

     SECTION 1.02.  Form of Bonds of Series D.  The bonds of Series D
shall be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations
of one thousand dollars ($1,000) and multiples thereof.

     The bonds of Series D and the certificate of the Trustee upon said bonds
shall be substantially in the forms thereof respectively set forth in Schedule A
appended hereto.

     SECTION 1.03.  Provisions of Bonds of Series D; Interest Accrual.  The
bonds of Series D shall mature on October 1, 2024 and shall bear interest,
payable semiannually on the first days of April and October of each year,
commencing April 1, 1995, at the rate specified in their title, until the
Company's obligation in respect of the principal thereof shall be discharged;
and shall be payable both as to principal and interest at the office or agency
of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, in any coin or
currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts.  The interest on the bonds
of Series D, whether in temporary or definitive form, shall be payable without
presentation of such bonds; and only to or upon the written order of the
registered holders thereof of record at the applicable record date.  The bonds
of Series D shall be callable for redemption in whole or in part according to
the terms and provisions provided herein in Article 2.

     Each bond of Series D shall be dated as of October 1, 1994 and shall bear
interest on the principal amount thereof from the interest payment date next
preceding the date of authentication thereof by the Trustee to which interest
has been paid on the bonds of Series D, or if the date of authentication thereof
is prior to March 16, 1995, then from the date of original issuance, or if the
date of authentication thereof be an interest payment date to which interest is
being paid or a date between the record date for any such interest payment date
and such interest payment date, then from such interest payment date.

     The person in whose name any bond of Series D is registered at the close of
business on any record date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any
interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such
interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such bond upon any
registration of transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and
prior to such interest payment date, except that if and to the extent the
Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest
payment date, then such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose
name such bond is registered on a subsequent record date for the payment of
defaulted interest if one shall have been established as hereinafter provided
and otherwise on the date of payment of such defaulted interest.  A subsequent
record date may be established by the Company by notice mailed to the owners of
bonds of Series D not less than ten days preceding such record date, which
record date shall not be more than thirty days prior to the subsequent interest
payment date.  The term "record date" as used in this Section with respect to
any regular interest payment (i.e., April 1 or October 1) shall mean the March
15 or September 15, as the case may be, next preceding such interest payment
date, or if such March 15 or September 15 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 preceding day which shall not be a legal
holiday or a day on which such institutions are so authorized to close.

     SECTION 1.04.  Transfer and Exchange of Bonds of Series D.  The bonds of
Series D may be surrendered for registration of transfer as provided in
Section 2.06 of the Mortgage Indenture at the office or agency of the Company in
the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and may be surrendered at said
office for exchange for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of Series D
of other authorized denominations.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.06 of the Mortgage Indenture, no charge, except for taxes or other
governmental charges, shall be made by the Company for any registration of
transfer of bonds of Series D or for the exchange of any bonds of Series D for
such bonds of other authorized denominations.

     SECTION 1.05.  Sinking and Improvement Fund.  Each holder of a bond of
Series D, solely by virtue of its acquisition thereof, shall have and be deemed
to have consented, without the need for any further action or consent by such
holder, to any and all amendments to the Mortgage Indenture which are intended
to eliminate or modify in any manner the requirements of the sinking and
improvement fund as provided for in Section 6.14 thereof.


                              ARTICLE 2.

                    REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF SERIES D.

     The bonds of Series D shall not be redeemable as a whole or in part at any
time.

Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust and Supplemental Indentures being
collectively referred to herein as the "Mortgage"), all executed by the Company
to Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee, all as provided in the Mortgage to which
reference is made for a statement of the property mortgaged and pledged, the
nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds in
respect thereof and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds may be issued
and are secured; but neither the foregoing reference to the Mortgage nor any
provision of this bond or of the Mortgage shall affect or impair the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute, unconditional and unalterable, to pay at the
maturities herein provided the principal of and interest on this bond as herein
provided.  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.   Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of this bond the Company and the Trustee may deem and
treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof, whether or not
this bond be overdue, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other
purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

     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.  The Company must receive at the principal office or
agency of the Trustee, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, 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: (i) this bond with
the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a national
securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc., or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States of America, setting forth
the name of the holder of the bond, the principal amount of the bond, the amount
of the bond to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is
being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the bond to be repaid with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse thereof duly completed will
be received by the Company not later than five days (which are not legal
holidays or days on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, New
York, New York are authorized by law to close) after the date of such telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter, and such bond and duly completed form
are received by the Company by such fifth day.  Either form of notice duly
received during the period from and including August 1, 2001 to and including
September 1, 2001 shall be irrevocable.  All questions as to the validity,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any bond for repayment
will be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and
binding.

 The Mortgage provides that the Company and the Trustee, with consent of the
holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the bonds at
the time outstanding which would be affected by the action proposed to be taken,
may by supplemental indenture add any provisions to or change or eliminate any
of the provisions of the Mortgage or modify the rights of the holders of the
bonds and coupons issued thereunder; provided, however, that without the consent
of the holder hereof no such supplemental indenture shall affect the terms of
payment of the principal of or interest or premium on this bond, or reduce the
aforesaid percentage of the bonds the holders of which are required to consent
to such a supplemental indenture, or permit the creation by the Company of any
mortgage or pledge or lien in the nature thereof ranking prior to or equal with
the lien of the Mortgage or deprive the holder hereof of the lien of the
Mortgage on any of the property which is subject to the lien thereof.

 As set forth in the Supplemental Indenture establishing the terms and series of
the bonds of this series, each holder of this bond, solely by virtue of its
acquisition thereof, shall have and be deemed to have consented, without the
need for any further action or consent by such holder, to any and all amendments
to the Mortgage which are intended to eliminate or modify in any manner the
requirements of the sinking and improvement fund as set forth in Section 6.14 of
the Mortgage.

 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on
this bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in
respect thereof, to any incorporator, or any past, present or future
stockholder, officer or director of the Company, either directly or indirectly,
by virtue of any statute or by enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, and
any and all liability of the said incorporators, stockholders, officers or
directors of the Company in respect to this bond is hereby expressly waived and
released by every holder hereof.
