                             8-3/8% NOTES DUE 2005

        This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an indenture (herein called the "Indenture") dated as of January
15, 1995, between the Company and Chemical Bank, 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,
obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Security is one of a series
designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to
$300,000,000.

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

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

        The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance
by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver
by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof
or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security.

        No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on this Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

 
        As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register
of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in The City of New York, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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

        No service charge shall be made to the Holders for any registration of
transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

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

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