          hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to    
                      or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                           ($           ) on August 1, 2006 and to
          pay interest thereon from August 4, 1994 or from the most

          be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less
          than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be

          or before the day which is ten days after such Change in
          Control (whether or not such call occurs before or after
          such Change in Control).  The Holder's option so to
          redeem is exercisable on or before the end of the
          Exercise Period specified in the notice of the Company
          relating to such Change in Control at a Redemption Price
          equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof plus accrued
          interest to the Redemption Date.  For this Security to be
          submitted for such redemption, the Company must receive
          at the office of one of the Paying Agents, prior to the
          close of business on the last day of such Exercise
          Period, this Security accompanied by written notice to
          the Company (which shall be substantially in the form of
          the form of notice hereon) that the Holder hereof
          instructs the Company to redeem this Security.  Such
          notice duly received shall be irrevocable.

               Notice of redemption will be given by mail to
          Holders of Securities, not less than 30 nor more than 60
          days prior to the date fixed for redemption, all as
          provided in the Indenture.

               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 of
          the entire indebtedness of this Security 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 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 hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not
          notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
          Security.

               As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of
          the Indenture, no Holder of any Security of this series
          will have any right to institute any proceeding with
          respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder,
          unless such Holder shall have previously given to the
          Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default
          with respect to this series, the Holders of not less than
          25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
          this series shall have made written request, and offered
          reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such
          proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall have
          received from the Holders of a majority in principal
          amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series a
          direction inconsistent with such request and shall have
          failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days;
          provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to
          a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the
          enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium,
          if any) or interest on this Security 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
          premium, if any) 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 The City of New
          York, 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
          $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
          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 is 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.
