For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes Due

Holders of the Notes Due 2015 and the Notes Due 2033, as follows:
ARTICLE ONE
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
THE NOTES DUE 2015 AND
THE NOTES DUE 2033
SECTION 101. There shall be and is hereby authorized a series of Securities
designated the "4.650% Notes due 2015" initially limited in aggregate principal
amount to $300,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in any Company Order
for the authentication and delivery of Notes Due 2015. There shall be and is
hereby authorized a series of Securities designated the "5.625% Notes due 2033"
2
initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $200,000,000, which amount
shall be as set forth in any Company Order for the authentication and delivery
of Notes Due 2033. The Notes Due 2015 and the Notes Due 2033 shall mature and
the principal shall be due and payable together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon on May 15, 2015 and May 15, 2033, respectively, and shall be
issued in the form of registered Notes without coupons.
The foregoing principal amount of the Notes Due 2015 and the Notes Due 2033
may be increased from time to time as permitted by Section 301 of the Indenture.
All Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due 2033 need not be issued at the same time and
such series may be reopened at any time, without notice to, or the consent of,
the then existing Holders, for issuances of additional Notes Due 2015 and Notes
Due 2033. Any such additional Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due 2033 will be equal in
rank and have the same respective maturity, payment terms, redemption features,
and other terms, except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue
date of the further Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due 2033 and for the first payment
of interest following the issue date of the further Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due
2033, as those initially issued.
SECTION 102. The Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due 2033 shall each be issued in
certificated form, except that the Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due 2033 shall each
be issued initially as a Global Security to and registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary therefor. Any
Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due 2033 to be issued or transferred to, or to be held
by, Cede & Co. (or any successor thereof) for such purpose shall bear the
depositary legend in substantially the form set forth at the top of the form of
Note Due 2015 in Article Two hereof and at the top of the form of Note Due 2033
in Article Three hereof (in lieu of that set forth in Section 204 of the
Indenture), unless otherwise agreed by the Company, such agreement to be
confirmed in writing to the Trustee. Each such Global Security may be exchanged
in whole or in part for Notes Due 2015 or Notes Due 2033, as applicable,
registered, and any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be
registered, in the name or names of Persons other than such Depositary or a
nominee thereof only under the circumstances set forth in Clause (2) of the last
paragraph of Section 305 of the Indenture, or such other circumstances in
addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Clause (2) of the last paragraph of
Section 305 of the Indenture as to which the Company shall agree, such agreement
to be confirmed in writing to the Trustee. Principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on the Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due 2033 will be payable, the
transfer of Notes Due 2015 and Notes Due 2033 will be registrable and Notes Due
2015 and Notes Due 2033, respectively, will be exchangeable for Notes Due 2015
and Notes Due 2033, respectively, bearing identical terms and provisions, at the
office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State
of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that payment of interest may be made at the
option of the Company by check mailed to the registered holder at such address
as shall appear in the Security Register.
SECTION 103. Each Note Due 2015 will bear interest at the rate of 4.650%
and each Note Due 2033 will bear interest at the rate of 5.625%, each from May
12, 2003 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined)
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for until the principal thereof
is paid or made available for payment, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each
year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on November 15, 2003, to the
3
person in whose name such Note Due 2015 or Note Due 2033 or any Predecessor
Security is registered, at the close of business on May 1 and November 1, as the
case may be, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the Interest
Payment Date. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided
for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such
regular record date, and may be paid to the person in whose name the Note Due
2015 or Note Due 2033 (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at
the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for
the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the
registered holders of the Notes Due 2015 or Notes Due 2033, as the case may be,
not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Notes Due 2015 or Notes Due 2033 may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture.
The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest will accrue from May 12,
2003 to, but not including, the relevant payment date. In the event that any
date on which interest is payable on the Notes Due 2015 or the Notes Due 2033 is
not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made
on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or
other payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force
and effect as if made on such date. A "Business Day" shall mean any day, except
a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday in the City of New York on which banking
institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to
close.
SECTION 104. The Company, at its option, may redeem all, or, from time to
time any part of the Notes Due 2015 or Notes Due 2033, upon notice as provided
in the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (a) the principal
amount of the Notes Due 2015 or Notes Due 2033 (or portion thereof) to be

of the Notes Due 2015 or Notes Due 2033, in each case discounted to the
Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus accrued interest (if
any) on the principal amount of the Notes Due 2015 or Notes Due 2033 being
redeemed to the Redemption Date.

(i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated "H.15 (519)" or any successor publication which is published
weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which
establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to
constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the
4
maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is
within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes Due 2015 or
Notes Due 2033 to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most
closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and
the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such
release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding
the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to
the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such Redemption Date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day
preceding the Redemption Date, plus in each case 0.150%.
"COMPARABLE TREASURY ISSUE" means the U.S. Treasury security selected
by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term
from the Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity of the Notes Due 2015 or Notes
Due 2033, as the case may be, that would be utilized, at the time of selection
and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the
Notes Due 2015 or Notes Due 2033, as the case may be.
"QUOTATION AGENT" means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the
Trustee after consultation with the Company.
"REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER" means each primary U.S. Government
securities dealer selected by the Company.
"COMPARABLE TREASURY PRICE" means, with respect to any Redemption
Date, if clause (ii) of the definition of Adjusted Treasury Rate is applicable,

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.
"REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER QUOTATIONS" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by
the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue,
expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in
writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively
presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon the
Company's calculation of any Redemption Price, including any Make-Whole Amount.
The Company shall give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Price,
promptly after the calculation thereof.
5
Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Indenture, any notice of redemption
given pursuant to said Section with respect to the foregoing redemption need not
set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof.
SECTION 105. The Notes Due 2015 and the Notes Due 2033 shall be defeasible
pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 of the Indenture.

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 any premium or interest hereon

Form of Reverse of Security.
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, dated as of January 15, 1998 (herein called the
"Indenture", which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such
instrument), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as 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
13
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, which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount.
The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than
30 days' notice by mail at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, from
time to time at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (a) the principal
amount of the Securities (or portion thereof) of this series to be redeemed plus
interest (if any) accrued to the Redemption Date or (b) the Make-Whole Amount
(as defined below) with respect to the Securities of this series to be redeemed
(the "Redemption Price").
If notice has been given as provided in the Indenture and funds for the
redemption of any Securities (or any portion thereof) called for redemption
shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in such
notice, such Securities (or any portion thereof) will cease to bear interest on
the date fixed for such redemption specified in such notice and the only right
of the Holders of such Securities will be to receive payment of the Redemption
Price.
Notice of any optional redemption of Securities of this series (or any
portion thereof) will be given to Holders at their addresses, as shown in the
Security Register for such Securities, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption will specify,
among other items, the Redemption Price or, if not then known, the manner of
calculation thereof, and the principal amount of the Securities of this series
held by such Holder to be redeemed. If less than all of the Securities of this
series are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, the Trustee shall
select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the portion of
such Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part.
As used herein:
"MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT" means the sum, as determined by a Quotation Agent,
of the present values of the principal amount of the Securities of this series
to be redeemed, together with scheduled payments of interest (exclusive of
interest to the Redemption Date) from the Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity
of the Securities of this series, in each case discounted to the Redemption Date
on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus accrued interest (if any) on the
principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed to the
Redemption Date.
"ADJUSTED TREASURY RATE" means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated "H.15 (519)" or any successor publication which is published
weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which
establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to
constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the
maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is
within three months before or after the remaining term of the Securities of this
series, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
14
the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate
shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis,
rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor
release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does
not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for
the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date, in each
case calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, plus in
each case 0.150%.
"COMPARABLE TREASURY ISSUE" means the U.S. Treasury security selected
by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term
from the Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity of the Securities of this series
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities
of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities of this series.
"QUOTATION AGENT" means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the
Trustee after consultation with the Company.
"REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER" means each primary U.S. Government
securities dealer selected by the Company.
"COMPARABLE TREASURY PRICE" means, with respect to any Redemption
Date, if clause (ii) of the definition of Adjusted Treasury Rate is applicable,
the average of three, or such lesser number as is obtained by the Trustee,
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.
"REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER QUOTATIONS" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by
the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue,
expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in
writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
The Securities of this series will not be subject to any sinking fund.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or
Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof
will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire
indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of
Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain
conditions set forth in the Indenture.
15
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 without
the consent of such Holders in certain limited circumstances or with the consent
of the Holders of 66-2/3% 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 herefor 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 25% 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 any premium or interest hereon
on or after the respective due dates expressed 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 any premium 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 any premium 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
16
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 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 like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
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 which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
