                                                      ---------

     Each Series B Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and
shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for.

     SECTION 102.  Definitions.  The following defined terms used herein shall,
                   -----------

commencing on May 1, 2000.

     "Original Issue Date" means November 1, 1999.

     "Outstanding", when used with respect to the Series B Notes, means, as of
the date of determination, all Series B Notes, theretofore authenticated and
delivered under the Indenture, except:


                                       2


     (i)    Series B Notes theretofore canceled by the Trustee or delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation;

     (ii)   Series B Notes for whose payment the necessary amount of money or
money's worth has been theretofore deposited with the Trustee or any Paying
Agent (other than the Company) in trust or set aside and segregated in trust by
the Company (if the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent) for the Holders
of such Series B Notes.

owned by any Person other than the Company or any Affiliate thereof, whether the
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Series B Notes have
given, made or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action hereunder as of any date, Series B Notes owned,
whether of record or beneficially, by the Company or any Affiliate thereof shall
be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding. In determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying upon such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Series B Notes that the
Trustee knows to be so owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company in
the above circumstances shall be so disregarded. Series B Notes so owned that

Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name the Series B Notes are
registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided
that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of principal as provided herein
will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable.

                                       3


Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may
either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose name the Series B Notes are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee (Special Record Date), notice
whereof shall be given to Holders of the Series B Notes not less than ten (10)
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,
if any, on which the Series B Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may
be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Original
Indenture.

     Payments of interest on the Series B Notes will include interest accrued to

Series B Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on

on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and
without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with
the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally
payable.

     Payment of the principal and interest on the Series B Notes shall be made
at the office of the Paying Agent in such coin or currency of the United States
of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any
Series B Notes being made upon surrender of such Series B Notes to the Paying
Agent. Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest Payment Date)
will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the
Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at
such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as
may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to
the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. In the event that any date
on which principal and interest is payable on the Series B Notes is not a
Business Day, then payment of the principal and interest payable on such date
will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same
force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

     SECTION 104.  Denominations.  The Series B Notes may be issued in
                   -------------

under the limited circumstances described below, Series B Notes represented by
such Global Security will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be
issuable as, Series B Notes in definitive form. The Global Security described

                                       4

considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no
Global Security representing a Series B Note shall be exchangeable, except for
another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the
name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its
nominee or except as described below. The rights of Holders of such Global
Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary.

     A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series B Notes registered in
the names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a
Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have been
appointed by the Company within 90 days of receipt by the Company of such
notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to
be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall
have been appointed by the Company within 90 days after it becomes aware of such
cessation, or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such
Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Series
B Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

     SECTION  106.  Redemption.  The Series B Notes shall not be subject to
                    ----------

enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made
available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.

     SECTION 108.  Paying Agent.  The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying
                   ------------
Agent with respect to the Series B Notes, with the Place of Payment initially
being the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

assign any of its rights or obligations under the Indenture with respect to the
Series B Notes to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;
provided that, in the event of any such assignment, the Company shall remain
primarily liable for the performance of all such obligations. The Indenture may

series under a Senior Indenture, dated as of June 1, 1998, as supplemented by
the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 1, 1998, the Second
Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 1, 1999 and the Third Supplemental
Indenture dated as of November 1, 1999 (as amended or supplemented from time to
time, herein called the "Indenture", which term shall have the meaning assigned
to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as
Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties 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 the series designated on the face hereof
limited in aggregate principal amount to $75,000,000.

     The Securities of this series are not subject to redemption prior to Stated
Maturity.

     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

                                      11


time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in 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 principal amount of the Securities of each
series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, 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 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
therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Security.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event
of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the
Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such
proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of
this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest
hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.

     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 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 in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest
on this Security are payable, 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 this series and of like
tenor, 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 $1,000.00 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a

                                      12


like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series having the same
Stated Maturity and of like tenor of any authorized denominations as requested
by the Holder upon surrender of the Security or Securities to be exchanged at
the office or agency of the Company.

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

     Prior to 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 such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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