THE BANK OF NEW YORK                       By: ___________________________

   Authorized Signatory

                        (Continued from previous page.)

                 Interest will be paid on the interest payment date or dates
shown above (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing with the first
such Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date shown
above (except as provided below), at the rate per annum specified above,
until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and on
Stated Maturity, and, if specified above, interest shall accrue on any
overdue principal and on any overdue installment of interest (to the extent
that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the
overdue rate per annum set forth above.  The interest so payable and
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or
one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date set forth above next preceding such Interest Payment
Date, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day next preceding such Interest
Payment Date.  The first payment of interest on any Note originally issued
between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date will be made on
the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date
to the registered owner on such succeeding Regular Record Date.  Except as
otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid
or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such
Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest
to be fixed by the  Trustee, notice whereof to be given to Holders of Notes
of this series not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record
Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series
may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all
as more fully provided in said Indenture.

                 Payments of interest (to be paid in U.S. dollars) will be
made by mailing a check to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing
in the Security Register as of the applicable Regular Record Date. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option of the Company, all payments of
interest and principal on this Note may be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds as designated by the Holder not less than 15
calendar days prior to the Interest Payment Date. If a Holder holds
$10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor and
terms (including the same Interest Payment Date), such Holder shall be
entitled to receive payments of interest (other than at Stated Maturity or
upon earlier redemption or repayment) in U.S. dollars by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, but only if appropriate payment instructions
have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days
prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.  If such a payment with
respect to this Note cannot be made by wire transfer because the  required
designation has not been received by the Trustee on or before the requisite
date or for any other reason, a notice will be mailed to the Holder at its
registered address requesting a designation pursuant to which such wire
transfer can be made and, upon the Trustee's receipt of such a designation,
such payment will be made within 15 days of such receipt.  The Company will
pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making
payments by wire transfer, but not any tax, assessment or governmental charge
imposed upon the Holder of this Note.  In the event that payment is so made
in accordance with the instructions of the Holder, such wire transfer shall

be deemed to constitute full and complete payment of such interest and
principal on this Note.  

                 If this is not a global Note, payment of the principal,
premium, if any, and interest payable at Stated Maturity in respect of this
Note will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note
accompanied by wire instructions at the principal office of the Trustee,
provided that the Note is presented in time for the Trustee to make such
payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.  If the
Holder of this Note (as indicated above) is the Depositary or a nominee of
the Depositary, this Note is a global Note and the following legend is
applicable except as specified on the reverse hereof:  THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY
NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE
DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR OF THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE
OF SUCH SUCCESSOR.

                 REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS
NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL
PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

                 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof, directly or
through an Authenticating Agent, by manual signature of an authorized
signatory, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture
or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

                          MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES B


                 SECTION 1.  General.  This Note is one of a duly authorized
issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the "Notes"), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 1,
1986 (as supplemented, the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of
New York, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any
successor trustee under 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 and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This
Note is one of the Securities of the series designated on the face hereof. 
The Notes may bear different dates, mature at different times, bear interest
at different rates, be subject to different redemption provisions and may
otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture.  The Notes are limited to
an aggregate initial offering price of up to $750,000,000 or such greater
amount if Notes are issued at an original issue discount, as shall result in
aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $750,000,000.

                 SECTION 2.  Payments.  Interest on this Note will be payable
on the Interest Payment Date or Interest Payment Dates as specified on the
face hereof and, in either case, at Stated Maturity or earlier redemption or
repayment.

                 Interest payments on each Interest Payment Date for this
Note will include accrued interest from the Original Issue Date or from and
including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the
case may be, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or the date of
Maturity, as the case may be.  Interest payments for this Note shall be
computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                 Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if this Note
is specified on the face hereof as an Amortizing Note, payments with respect
to this Note will be applied first to interest due and payable hereon and
then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount hereof.  If this Note is
specified on the face hereof as an Amortizing Note, a table setting forth
repayment information in respect of this Note will be provided to the
original purchaser hereof and will be available, upon request, to subsequent
Holders.

                 All percentages resulting from any calculations under this
Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of
a percentage point (with five one-millionths of a percentage point being
rounded upward) and all currency or currency unit or dollar amounts used in
or resulting from any such calculation in respect of the Notes will be
rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit (with five one-thousandths
being rounded upward) or nearest cent, as the case may be.

                 "Maturity" means the date on which the principal of this
Note becomes due and payable in full in accordance with the terms hereof and

the terms of the Indenture, whether at Stated Maturity, upon acceleration,
redemption, repayment or otherwise.

                 SECTION 3.  Redemption.  If so specified on the face hereof,
the Company may at its option redeem this Note in whole or from time to time
in part on or after the date designated as the Initial Redemption Date on the
face hereof at the redemption price specified on the face hereof, together
with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, but interest
installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the date of redemption
will be payable to the Holder of this Note of record at the close of business
on the relevant Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof, all as
provided in the Indenture.  The Company may exercise such option by causing
the Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption at least 30 but not more than
60 calendar days prior to the date of redemption, subject to all the
conditions and provisions of the Indenture.  In the event of redemption of
this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof
shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof.

                 SECTION 4.  Repayment.  If so specified on the face hereof,
this Note will be repayable prior to Stated Maturity at the option of the
Holder on the Optional Repayment Dates shown on the face hereof at the
Optional Repayment Prices shown on the face hereof together with interest
accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of repayment.  In order for this Note
(if it is repayable at the option of the Holder) to be repaid prior to Stated
Maturity, the Paying Agent must receive at least 30 but not more than 45
calendar days prior to an Optional Repayment Date (i) this Note with the form
below entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed or (ii) a hand
delivery, facsimile transmission or letter (first class, postage prepaid)
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 this Note,
the principal amount of the Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a
description of the tenor and terms of this Note, a statement that the option
to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note
with the form below entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed will
be received by the Paying Agent not later than five Business Days after the
date of such hand delivery, facsimile transmission or letter (first class,
postage prepaid).  If the procedure described in clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence is followed, this Note with such form duly completed must be,
received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day.  Exercise of the
repayment option by the Holder of this Note shall be irrevocable, except that
a Holder who has tendered this Note for repayment may revoke any such tender
for repayment by written notice to the Paying Agent received prior to the
close of business on the tenth calendar day prior to the repayment date.  The
repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of this Note for less than
the entire principal amount of the Note provided that the principal amount of
the Note remaining outstanding after repayment is an authorized denomination. 
Upon such partial repayment this Note shall be cancelled and a new Note or
Notes for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the name
of the Holder of this Note.

                 SECTION 5.  Sinking Fund.  This Note will not be subject to
any sinking fund.

                 SECTION 6.  Original Issue Discount Notes.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is an Original Issue Discount

Note, the amount payable in the event of redemption or repayment prior to the
Stated Maturity hereof in lieu of the principal amount due at the Stated
Maturity hereof shall be the Amortized Face Amount of this Note as of the
redemption date or the date of repayment, as the case may be.  The "Amortized
Face Amount" of this Note shall be the amount equal to (a) the Issue Price
(as set forth on the face hereof) plus (b) that portion of the difference
between the Issue Price and the principal amount hereof that has accrued at
the yield to maturity (as set forth on the face hereof) (computed in
accordance with generally accepted United States bond yield computation
principles) at the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is calculated
but in no event shall the Amortized Face Amount of this Note exceed its
principal amount.

                 SECTION 7.  Events of Default.  If any Event of Default with
respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal
of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is an Original
Issue Discount Note, the amount so declared due and payable shall be the
Amortized Face Amount of this Note as of the date of such declaration.

                 SECTION 8.  Modifications and Waivers; Obligation of the
Company Absolute.  The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company
and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series affected by such
modification (voting as one class), to modify the Indenture or the rights of
the Holders of the Securities pursuant to a supplemental indenture, except
that no such modification shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Security so affected, (i) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or
any instalment of principal of or interest, if any, or reduce the principal
amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon
the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original
Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to the Indenture, or change the
place of payment of, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any
premium or the interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the stated maturity
thereof, (ii) reduce the percentage of Securities, the consent of the Holder
of which is required for any such modification or for certain waivers under
the Indenture or (iii) modify certain provisions of the Indenture relating to
the modification of the Indenture, waiver of past defaults or waiver of
certain covenants, except for certain permitted modifications.

                 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of
this Note 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 Note at the times, places and rates,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

                 SECTION 9.  Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.  The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness of the Company on this Note 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
Note.

noted on the face hereof, the Notes of this series are issuable only in
global or certificated registered form, without coupons, in denominations of
$1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  As provided in

                 INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of New Jersey (herein called the "Company," which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on
the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
_____________________________________________________________ or registered
assigns, the principal sum set forth above on the Stated Maturity shown
above, and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date shown above
or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter
defined) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case
may be.

                 Interest will be paid on the Interest Payment Dates shown
above ("Interest Payment Dates"), at the rate per annum determined in
accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof, depending on the
Interest Rate Basis specified above, commencing with the first such Interest
Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date shown above (except as
provided below) until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment and on Stated Maturity, and, if specified above, interest shall
accrue on any overdue principal and on any overdue installment of interest
(to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) at the Overdue Rate per annum set forth above.  The interest so
payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date set forth above next preceding such
Interest Payment Date, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day next
preceding such Interest Payment Date.  The first payment of interest on any
Note originally issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment
Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding
Regular Record Date to the registered owner on such succeeding Regular Record
Date.  Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not
so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to
the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person
in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at
the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof to be given to

Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 calendar days prior to such
Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

                 Payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, (each
to be paid in U.S. dollars) will be made by mailing a check to the Holder at
the address of the Holder appearing in the Security Register as of the
applicable Regular Record Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option
of the Company, all payments of interest and principal on this Note may be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds as designated by the
Holder not less than 15 calendar days prior to the Interest Payment Date.  If
a Holder holds $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes of
like tenor and terms (including the same Interest Payment Date), such Holder
shall be entitled to receive payments of interest (other than at Stated
Maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment) in U.S. dollars by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, but only if appropriate payment
instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15
calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.  The Company
will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making
payments by wire transfer, but not any tax, assessment or governmental charge
imposed upon the Holder of this Note.  In the event that payment is so made
in accordance with the instructions of the Holder, such wire transfer shall
be deemed to constitute full and complete payment of such interest and
principal on this Note.  If this is not a global Note, payment of the
principal, premium, if any, and interest payable at Maturity in respect of
this Note will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of this
Note accompanied by wire instructions at the principal office of the Trustee,
provided that the Note is presented in time for the Trustee to make such
payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.

                 If the Holder of this Note (as indicated above) is the
Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, this Note is a global Note and the
following legend is applicable except as specified on the reverse hereof: 
THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY
OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR.

                 REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS
NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL
PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

                 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof, directly or
through an Authenticating Agent, by manual signature of an authorized
signatory, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture
or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

                 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument
to be duly executed under its corporate seal.

     Authorized Signatory

                               [Reverse of Note]

                            INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY

                          MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES B


                 SECTION 1.  General.  This Note is one of a duly authorized
issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the "Notes"), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of August 1,
1986 (as supplemented, the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of
New York, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any
successor trustee under 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 and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This
Note is one of the Securities of the series designated on the face hereof. 
The Notes may bear different dates, mature at different times, bear interest
at different rates, be subject to different redemption provisions and may
otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture.  The Notes are limited to
an aggregate initial offering price of up to $750,000,000 or such greater
amount if Notes are issued at an original issue discount, as shall result in
aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $750,000,000.

                 SECTION 2.  Interest Rate Calculations; Payments.  Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate on this Note will
be equal to either (i) the interest rate calculated by reference to the
specified Interest Rate Basis plus or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) the
interest rate calculated by reference to the specified Interest Rate Basis
multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any.  The "Spread" is the number of
basis points (one basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point)
specified on the face hereof as being applicable to this Note, and the
"Spread Multiplier" is the percentage specified on the face hereof as being
applicable to this Note.  Set forth on the face hereof is the Interest Rate
Basis and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, and the maximum or minimum
interest rate limitation, if any, applicable to this Note.  Set forth on the
face hereof are particulars as to the Calculation Agent (unless specified
otherwise, The Bank of New York (in such capacity, the "Calculation Agent")),
Index Maturity, Original Issue Date, the interest rate in effect for the
period from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date set
forth on the face hereof (the "Initial Interest Rate"), Interest
Determination Dates, Interest Payment Dates, Regular Record Dates and
Interest Reset Dates with respect to this Note.

                 Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if this Note
is specified on the face hereof as an Amortizing Note, payments with respect
to this Note will be applied first to interest due and payable hereon and
then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount hereof.  If this Note is
specified on the face hereof as an Amortizing Note, a table setting forth
repayment information in respect of this Note will be provided to the
original purchaser hereof and will be available, upon request, to subsequent
Holders.

                 Except as provided below, interest on this Note will be
payable (i) if this Note resets daily, weekly or monthly, on the third
Wednesday of each month or on the third Wednesday of March, June, September

and December of each year, as specified on the face hereof; (ii) if this Note
resets quarterly, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and
December of each year; (iii) if this Note resets semiannually, on the third
Wednesday of each of two months of each year specified on the face hereof;
and (iv) if this Note resets annually, on the third Wednesday of one month of
each year specified on the face hereof (each such day being an "Interest
Payment Date"), and in each case at Maturity.  If any Interest Payment Date,
other than Maturity, for this Note would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day
that is a Business Day, except that if this Note is a LIBOR Note, if such
Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment
Date shall be the immediately preceding London Business Day.  If the Maturity
for this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to this Note will be
made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if
made on the due date, and no interest shall be payable on the date of payment
for the period from and after the due date.

                 Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the rate of
interest on this Note will be reset daily, weekly, quarterly, semiannually or
annually (such period being the "Reset Period" for such Note, and the first
day of each Reset Period being an "Interest Reset Date"), as specified on the
face hereof.  The Interest Reset Date will be, if this Note resets daily,
each Business Day; if this Note resets weekly (unless the Interest Rate Basis
on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate), the Wednesday of each week; if this
Note resets weekly and the Interest Rate Basis on the face hereof is the
Treasury Rate, the Tuesday of each week; if this Note resets monthly, the
third Wednesday of each month; if this Note resets quarterly, the third
Wednesday of each March, June, September and December; if this Note resets
semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified on
the face hereof; and if this Note resets annually, the third Wednesday of one
month of each year specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the
interest rate in effect from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset
Date will be the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof.  If the
Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the
Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business
Day, except that if the Interest Rate Basis on the face hereof is LIBOR, if
such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest
Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding London Business Day.  Each
adjusted rate shall be applicable on and after the Interest Reset Date to
which it relates to, but not including, the next succeeding Interest Reset
Date or until Stated Maturity or the date of redemption or repayment, as the
case may be.

                 The interest rate for each Reset Period will be the rate
determined by the Calculation Agent on the Calculation Date (as defined
below) pertaining to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the
Interest Reset Date for such Reset Period.  Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, the "Interest Determination Date" pertaining to an Interest
Reset Date for (a) a Commercial Paper Rate Note (the "Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date"), (b) a Federal Funds Rate Note (the "Federal
Funds Interest Determination Date"), (c) a CD Rate Note (the "CD Interest
Determination Date'), (d) a Prime Rate Note (the "Prime Interest
Determination Date"), or (e) a CMT Rate Note (the "CMT Interest Determination
Date") will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. 
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Determination
Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note (the "LIBOR

Interest Determination Date") will be the second London Business Day
immediately preceding each Interest Reset Date.  Unless otherwise specified
on the face hereof, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest
Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note (the "Treasury Interest Determination
Date") will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on
which Treasury bills would normally be auctioned.  Treasury bills are usually
sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday,
in which case the auction is usually held on the following Tuesday, except
that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday.  If, as a result of a
legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday
will be the Treasury Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Reset
Period commencing in the next succeeding week, if an auction date shall fall
on any Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note, then such Interest Reset
Date shall instead be the first Business Day immediately following such
auction date.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the
"Calculation Date" pertaining to any Interest Determination Date shall be the
earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after the Interest Determination Date
or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or
(ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or
Maturity, as the case may be.

                 As used herein, "Business Day" means, unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof, any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or
Friday that in The City of New York is not a day on which banking
institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order
to close and, if the Interest Rate Basis of this Note is LIBOR, is also a
London Business Day.  As used herein, "London Business Day" means any day on
which  dealings in deposits denominated in U.S. Dollars are transacted in the
London interbank market.

                 Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest on
this Note will accrue from and including the date of issue or from and
including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to but
excluding the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity, as the case may be. 
Accrued interest is calculated by multiplying the face amount of this Note by
an accrued interest factor.  This accrued interest factor is computed by
adding the interest factors calculated for each day from the date of issue,
or from the last date to which interest has been paid, to the date for which
accrued interest is being calculated.  The interest factor for each such day
is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in
the case of Commercial Paper Rate Notes, CD Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate
Notes, LIBOR Notes and Prime Rate Notes, or by the actual number of days in
the year, in the case of Treasury Rate Notes or CMT Rate Notes.

                 Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, the
Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate on this Note, as provided
below.  The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of this
Note, provide the interest rate then in effect and, if then determined, the
interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made
with respect to the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to
this Note.  The Trustee shall act as the initial Calculation Agent for the
Notes.  For purposes of calculating the rate of interest payable on this
Note, the Company will enter into an agreement with the Calculation Agent. 
The Calculation Agent's determination of any interest rate shall be final and
binding in the absence of manifest error.

                 Notwithstanding the determination of the interest rate as
provided below, the interest rate on this Note for any interest period shall
not be greater than the maximum interest rate, if any, or less than the
minimum interest rate, if any, specified on the face hereof.  The interest
rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted
by New York or other applicable law, as the same may be modified by United
States law of general application.
  
                 "Maturity" means the date on which the principal of this
Note becomes due and payable in full in accordance with the terms hereof and
the terms of the Indenture, whether at Stated Maturity, upon acceleration,
redemption, repayment or otherwise.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified
on the face hereof is Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate determined
with respect to the Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date shall
be the Commercial Paper Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied
by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified on the face hereof, as
determined on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

                 "Commercial Paper Rate" means, with respect to any
Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, the Money Market Yield
(calculated as described below) of the rate on such date for commercial paper
having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof as published by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release
H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication of the Board
of Governors ("H.15(519)") under the heading "Commercial Paper --
Nonfinancial."  In the event that such rate is not published prior to 9:00
A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such
Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate
with respect to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date shall be
the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Commercial Paper Interest
Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity designated
on the face hereof as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in
its daily statistical release "Composite 3:30 P.M. Quotations for U.S.
Government Securities" or any successor publication ("Composite Quotations")
under the heading "Commercial Paper."  If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on such Calculation Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519)
or Composite Quotations, then the Commercial Paper Rate for such Commercial
Paper Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the
offered rates (quoted on a bank discount basis) as of 11:00 A.M., New York
City time, on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, of three
leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity designated
on the face hereof placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA,"
or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized securities rating agency;
provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the
Commercial Paper Rate with respect to such Commercial Paper Interest
Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect immediately
prior to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date.

                 "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield (expressed as a
percentage rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percent) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

                                         D x 360
   Money Market Yield =               _____________ x 100
    
                                      360 - (D x M)


where "D" refers to the per annum rate for commercial paper, quoted on a bank
discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and "M" refers to the actual
number of days in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated.

Determination of CD Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face
hereof is CD Rate, the interest rate determined with respect to the CD
Interest Determination Date shall be the CD Rate plus or minus the Spread, if
any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified on the face
hereof, as determined on such CD Interest Determination Date.

                 "CD Rate" means, with respect to any CD Interest
Determination Date, the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of
deposit having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof as published
in H.15(519) under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)."  In the event that
such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the
Calculation Date pertaining to such CD Interest Determination Date, then the
CD Rate with respect to such CD Interest Determination Date shall be the rate
on such CD Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof as published in
Composite Quotations under the heading "Certificates of Deposit."  If by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not published
in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, then the CD Rate on such CD
Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
shall be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of
10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD Interest Determination Date of
three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of
deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for
negotiable certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks
(in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit) with a remaining
maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in a
denomination of $5,000,000; provided, however, that if the dealers selected
as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this
sentence, the CD Rate with respect to such CD Interest Determination Date
will be the CD Rate in effect immediately prior to such CD Interest
Determination Date.

Determination of CMT Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face
hereof is CMT Rate, the interest rate determined with respect to the CMT
Interest Determination Date shall be the CMT Rate plus or minus the Spread,
if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified on the
face hereof, as determined on such CMT Interest Determination Date.

                 "CMT Rate" means, with respect to any CMT Interest
Determination Date, the rate displayed in the Designated CMT Telerate Page
(as defined below) under the caption ". . . Treasury Constant Maturities . .
 . Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 . . . Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.,"
under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for
(i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such CMT
Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is
7052, the week, or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the
week in which the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date occurs.  If such
rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00

P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such CMT
Interest Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest
Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519).  If
such rate is no longer published, or if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such CMT Interest
Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination
Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index) for the CMT Interest Determination Date with respect to such
Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury
that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly
displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the relevant
H.15(519).  If such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such CMT Interest Determination
Date, then the CMT Rate for the CMT Interest Determination Date will be
calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on
the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of
approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the CMT Interest
Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three
leading primary United States government securities dealers (each, a
"Reference Dealer") in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent
(from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate
obligations of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity
of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to
maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. 
If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such Treasury Note quotations,
the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by
the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic
mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M.,
New York City time, on the CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference
Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by
the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event
of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event
of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original
maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated
CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated
CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least $100,000,000.  If three or
four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above,
then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices
obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be
eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers
selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described herein, the CMT
Rate will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Interest Determination Date. 
If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second
preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the
Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the
shorter remaining term to maturity will be used.

                 "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow
Jones Telerate Service on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other
page as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying
Treasury Constant Maturities as published in H.15(519)), for the purposes of

displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as published in H.15(519).  If no
such page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page
shall be 7052, for the most recent week.

                 "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to
maturity of the Treasury Notes (either one, two, three, five, seven, ten,
twenty or thirty years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which
the CMT Rate will be calculated.  If no such maturity is specified on the
face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Determination of Federal Funds Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified on
the face hereof is Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate determined with
respect to the Federal Funds Interest Determination Date shall be the Federal
Funds Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread
Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof, as determined on such
Federal Funds Interest Determination Date.

                 "Federal Funds Rate" means, with respect to any Federal
Funds Interest Determination Date, the rate on such date for Federal Funds as
published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)."  In the
event that such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time,
on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date, then the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on such
Federal Funds Interest Determination Date as published in Composite
Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate."  If by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not published
in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, then the Federal Funds Rate with
respect to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date shall be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded, if
necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percent) of the rates
as of 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds
arranged by three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in The City
of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the
brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to such
Federal Funds Interest Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in
effect immediately prior to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date.

Determination of LIBOR.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face
hereof is LIBOR, the interest rate determined with respect to the LIBOR
Interest Determination Date shall be LIBOR plus or minus the Spread, if any,
or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof,
as determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

                 LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent in
accordance with the following provisions:

                 (i)  With respect to any LIBOR Interest
         Determination Date, LIBOR will be either: (a) if "LIBOR
         Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the arithmetic
         mean of the offered rates (unless the specified designated
         LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its terms provides only for
         a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used)
         for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency (as defined
         below) having the Index Maturity designated on the face
         hereof, commencing on the second London Business Day

         immediately following the LIBOR Interest Determination Date,
         which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page specified on the
         face hereof as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that LIBOR
         Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered
         rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is
         required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR
         Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, the rate for
         deposits denominated in U.S. Dollars (as defined below)
         having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof,
         commencing on the second London Business Day immediately
         following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, which
         appears on the Designated LIBOR page specified on the face
         hereof as of 11:00 A.M. London time on that LIBOR Interest
         Determination Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if fewer
         than two offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page
         with respect to LIBOR Reuters (unless the specified
         Designated LIBOR Page with respect to LIBOR Reuters by its
         terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such
         single rate shall be used), or if no rate appears on the
         Designated LIBOR Page with respect to LIBOR Telerate,
         whichever may be applicable, LIBOR in respect of the related
         LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be determined as if
         the parties had specified the rate described in clause (ii)
         below.

                 (ii)  With respect to any LIBOR Interest
         Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates
         appear on the Designated LIBOR Page with respect to LIBOR
         Reuters (unless the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms
         provides only for a single rate, in which cases such single
         rate shall be used), or if no rate appears on the designated
         LIBOR Page with respect to LIBOR Telerate, as the case may
         be, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London
         office of each of four major banks in the London interbank
         market selected by the Calculation Agent to provide the
         Calculation Agent with its offered rate quotation for
         deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency (as defined below)
         for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face
         hereof, commencing on the second London Business Day
         immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination
         Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market as of
         11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest
         Determination Date and in a principal amount that is
         representative for a single transaction in such Designated
         LIBOR Currency in such market at such time.  If at least two
         such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR
         Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of
         such quotations.  If fewer than two quotations are provided,
         LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
         will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of 11:00
         A.M. in the applicable major banks in New York (as defined
         below), on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three
         major banks in New York selected by the Calculation Agent
         for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading banks, having the Index
         Maturity designated on the face hereof in a principal amount
         that is representative for a single transaction in such
         Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time;

         provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the
         Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this
         sentence, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest
         Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR
         Interest Determination Date.

                 "Designated LIBOR Currency" means the currency (including a
composite currency), if any, designated on the face hereof as the Designated
LIBOR Currency.  If no such currency is designated in on the face hereof, the
Designated LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars.

                 "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) the display on the
Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London
interbank rates of major banks for U.S. Dollar Deposits (if "LIBOR Reuters"
is designated on the face hereof), or (b) the display on the Dow Jones
Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of
major banks for U.S. Dollar Deposits (if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated on
the face hereof).  If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified
on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Designated LIBOR Currency will
be determined as if LIBOR Telerate page 3750 had been chosen.

Determination of Treasury Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the
face hereof is Treasury Rate, the interest rate determined with respect to
the Treasury Interest Determination Date shall be the Treasury Rate plus or
minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any,
specified on the face hereof, as determined on such Treasury Interest
Determination Date.

                 "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Treasury Interest
Determination Date, the rate for the most recent auction of direct
obligations of the United States ("Treasury bills") having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the heading,
"Treasury bills -- auction average (investment)" or, if not so published by
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such
Treasury Interest Determination Date, the average auction rate (expressed as
a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable,
and applied on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by the U.S. Department
of the Treasury.  In the event that such rate is not available by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on such Treasury Interest Determination Date shall be
calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity
(expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,
as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City
time, on such Treasury Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary
U.S. government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the
issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index
Maturity designated on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the
dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate with respect to such Treasury
Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in effect immediately
prior to such Treasury Interest Determination Date.

Determination of Prime Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the
face hereof is the Prime Rate, the interest rate determined with respect to
the Prime Interest Determination Date shall be the Prime Rate plus or minus
the Spread, if any, or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face
hereof, as determined on such Prime Interest Determination Date.

                 "Prime Rate" means, with respect to any Prime Interest
Determination Date, the rate set forth on such date in H.15(519) under the
heading "Bank Prime Loan."  In the event that such rate is not published
prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to
such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Prime Rate with respect
to such Prime Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the
rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters
Screen USPRIME1 Page as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in
effect for that Prime Interest Determination Date.  If fewer than four such
rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page for the Prime Interest
Determination Date, the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime
rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by
a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Interest
Determination Date by four major money center banks in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent.  If fewer than two quotations are
provided, the Prime Rate with respect to such Prime Interest Determination
Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates furnished in The City of
New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any
state thereof, having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and
being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority,
selected by the Calculation Agent to provide such rate or rates; provided,
however, that if the bank or trust company selected as aforesaid is not
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate with respect to such
Prime Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate in effect
immediately prior to such Prime Interest Determination Date.  "Reuters Screen
USPRIME1 Page" means the display designated as page "USPRIME1" on the Reuters
Monitor Money Rate Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME1
page on the service for the purpose of displaying the prime rate or base
lending rate of major banks).

                 The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate on
this Note in accordance with the foregoing as soon as practicable after the
Interest Determination Date.

                 All percentages resulting from any calculations under this
Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of
a percentage point (with five one-millionths of a percentage point being
rounded upward) and all currency or currency unit or dollar amounts used in
or resulting from any such calculation in respect of the Notes will be
rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit (with five one-thousandths
being rounded upward) or nearest cent, as the case may be.

                 SECTION 3.  Redemption.  If so specified on the face hereof,
the Company may at its option redeem this Note in whole or from time to time
in part on or after the date designated as the Initial Redemption Date on the
face hereof at the redemption price specified on the face hereof, together
with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, but interest
installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the date of redemption
will be payable to the Holder of this Note of record at the close of business
on the relevant Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof, all as
provided in the Indenture.  The Company may exercise such option by causing
the Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption at least 30 but not more than
60 calendar days prior to the date of redemption.  In the event of redemption
of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion
hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof.

                 SECTION 4.  Repayment.  If so specified on the face hereof,
this Note will be repayable prior to Stated Maturity at the option of the
Holder on the Optional Repayment Dates shown on the face hereof at the
Optional Repayment Prices shown on the face hereof together with interest
accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of repayment.  In order for this Note
(if it is repayable at the option of the Holder) to be repaid prior to Stated
Maturity, the Paying Agent must receive at least 30 but not more than 45
calendar days prior to an Optional Repayment Date (i) this Note with the form
below entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed or (ii) a hand
delivery, facsimile transmission or letter (first class, postage prepaid)
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 this Note,
the principal amount of the Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a
description of the tenor and terms of this Note, a statement that the option
to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note
with the form below entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed will
be received by the Paying Agent not later than five Business Days after the
date of such handle delivery, facsimile transmission or letter (first class,
postage prepaid).  If the procedure described in clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence is followed, this Note with such form duly completed must be
received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day.  Exercise of the
repayment option by the Holder of this Note shall be irrevocable, except that
a Holder who has tendered this Note for repayment may revoke any such tender
for repayment by written notice to the Paying Agent received prior to the
close of business on the tenth calendar day prior to the repayment date.  The
repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of this Note for less than
the entire principal amount of the Note provided that the principal amount of
the Note remaining outstanding after repayment is an authorized denomination. 
Upon such partial repayment this Note shall be cancelled and a new Note or
Notes for the remaining principal amount hereof shall be issued in the name
of the Holder of this Note.

                 SECTION 5.  Sinking Fund.  This Note will not be subject to
any sinking fund.

                 SECTION 6.  Original Issue Discount Notes.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is an Original Issue Discount
Note, the amount payable in the event of redemption or repayment prior to the
Stated Maturity hereof in lieu of the principal amount due at the Stated
Maturity hereof shall be the Amortized Face Amount of this Note as of the
redemption date or the date of repayment, as the case may be.  The "Amortized
Face Amount" of this Note shall be the amount equal to (a) the Issue Price
(as set forth on the face hereof) plus (b) that portion of the difference
between the Issue Price and the principal amount hereof that has accreted at
the yield to maturity (as set forth on the face hereof) (computed in
accordance with generally accepted United States bond yield computation
principles) at the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is calculated
but in no event shall the Amortized Face Amount of this Note exceed its
principal amount.

                 SECTION 7.  Events of Default.  If any Event of Default with
respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal
of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is an Original

Issue Discount Note, the amount so declared due and payable shall be the
Amortized Face Amount of this Note as of the date of such declaration.

                 SECTION 8.  Modifications and Waivers; Obligation of the
Company Absolute.  The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company
and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series affected by such
modification (voting as one class), to modify the Indenture or the rights of
the Holders of the Securities pursuant to a supplemental indenture, except
that no such modification shall, without the consent Holder of each Security
so affected, (i) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any
instalment of principal of or interest, if any, or reduce the principal
amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon
the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original
Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to the Indenture, or change the
place of payment of, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any
premium or the interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the stated maturity
thereof, (ii) reduce the percentage of Securities, the consent of the Holder
of which is required for any such modification or for certain waivers under
the Indenture or (iii) modify certain provisions of the Indenture relating to
the modification of the Indenture, waiver of past defaults or waiver of
certain covenants, except for certain permitted modifications.

                 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of
this Note 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 Note at the times, places and rates,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

                 SECTION 9.  Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.  The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness of the Company on this Note 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
Note.

                 SECTION 10.  Authorized Denominations.  Unless otherwise
noted on the face hereof, the Notes of this series are issuable only in
global or certified registered form, without coupons, in denominations of
$1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth and to the
limitations described below, if applicable, Notes of this series are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series
and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the

New York) duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized

                 If this Note is a global Note (as specified on the face
hereof), this Note is exchangeable only if (x) the Depositary notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this
