indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of

Debenture is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $ 250,000,000.

     If an Event of Default with respect to the Debentures shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Debentures may (subject to the conditions set
forth in the Indenture) be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.

Company's obligations in respect of (i) the entire indebtedness of this

certain purposes, without the consent of the Holders of any Securities at the
time Outstanding.  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 Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the

Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Debenture shall be conclusive

of any Debenture 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
