                    7.20% Debentures DUE 2025



          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 August 1, 1986, as supplemented by a First
Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 15, 1986 and a Second
Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 1, 1986 (as so
supplemented, herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company
and The Bank of New York, 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 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 $150,000,000.

          The sinking fund provides for the pro rata cash
redemption of $7,500,000 principal amount of Securities of this
series on June 1 in each year beginning with the year 2006 to and
including the year 2024.

          The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (a)
the entire indebtedness of this Security and (b) certain
restrictive covenants upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth therein.

          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 66-2/3% in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected. 
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of all series to be affected, 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



<PAGE>
                                                                          2
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, if
any, 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 premium, if
any) and interest, if any, 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, 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 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,

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 $150,000,000.

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

          The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (a)
the entire indebtedness of this Security and (b) certain
restrictive covenants upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth therein.

          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 66-2/3% in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected. 
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of all series to be affected, 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.

          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, if
any, 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 premium, if
any) and interest, if any, 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, 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 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.

          This Security will be repayable on June 1, 2005 (the
"Repayment Date") at the option of the holder thereof, in whole
or in part, in increments of $1,000 at a repayment price equal to
100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued
interest thereon payable to the date of repayment (the "Repayment
Amount").  If the Repayment Date is not a Business Day, the
Company will pay the Repayment Amount for Securities with respect
to which it has received the required notice (as hereinafter
described) on the next succeeding Business Day.  In order for a
holder to be repaid, the Company must receive at the office of

hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof,
expressly waived and released.

          This Security shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

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