[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the
Company (herein referred to as the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one
or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of December 15, 1998
(as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"),
between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holder (the words
"Holders" or "Holder" meaning the registered holders or registered holder) of
the Securities. This note is one of the series of Securities designated as
Notes, Series A (herein referred to as the "Notes"). The Guarantor has
guaranteed the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes
and reference is hereby made to the Guarantee dated as of December 15, 1998 by
the Guarantor in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the
Securities for a complete description of the terms of such Guarantee.
In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, as defined in
the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may
be declared, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions 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 principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of each series affected by any such amendment or modification (with
each series voting as one class). The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby (with each series voting
as one class), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. The
Indenture also provides that, regarding the Securities of any series, the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of such series may waive certain past defaults and their consequences
on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange here for or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to
the institution of proceedings by Holders of Securities with respect to the
Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.
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 interest on this Note at
the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.
The Notes are issuable as registered Notes without coupons in
denominations that are integral multiples of U.S. $1,000. At the office or
agency of the Company referred to above and in the manner and subject to the
limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged without service
charge for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same maturity,
interest rate, redemption provisions, repayment provisions, and Original Issue
Date of other authorized denominations.

as a percentage of the principal amount) (subject to reduction as hereinafter
provided), together in each case with accrued interest to the date fixed for

Price shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Optional Redemption Date
by the Annual Redemption Price Reduction until the Optional Redemption Price is
100% of such principal amount. Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the
registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their last
registered address not less than thirty nor more than sixty days prior to the
date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the
Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or
Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the
name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and cancellation hereof.
Unless an Optional Repayment Date or Dates is indicated on the face of
this Note, this Note shall not be subject to repayment at the option of the
holder prior to the Maturity Date. If an Optional Repayment Date or Dates is

option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the
face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this
Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 at the
option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to
be repaid, together with interest hereon payable to the date of repayment. For
