                         Reverse Side of Debt Security


         This Debt Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of
the Company (herein called the "Debt Securities") issued and to be issued in
one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of December 15, 1989 (herein
called the "Indenture"), between the Company and The First National Bank of
Chicago, 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 Debt Securities and the terms upon which the
Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Debt
Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $25,000,000.

         The interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person
in whose name this Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest payment, which shall be the June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a
Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date;
provided, however, that interest payable at Stated Maturity will be payable to
the Person to whom principal is payable on that date.  Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in
whose name this Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of Debt Securities of this series not less than 10 calendar
days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which the Debt Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as
may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

         Interest payments for this Debt Security will include interest accrued
to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates.  Interest payments for this Debt
Security shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day
months.

         Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security will be made
at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, provided that this Debt Security is presented to the Trustee
in time for the Trustee to make such payments in such funds in accordance with
its normal procedure; provided, however, that at the option of the Company
payment of interest (other than interest payable at Stated Maturity) may be
made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register or, at the option of the Company,
by wire transfer to an account maintained by such person with a bank located in
the United States.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, while the Debt Securities are
represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of the
Depositary or its nominee, the Company will cause payments of principal of and
interest on such Global Notes to be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as
the case may be, to the extent, in the funds and in the manner required by
agreements with, or regulations or procedures prescribed from time to time by,
the Depositary or its nominee, and otherwise in accordance with such
agreements, regulations and procedures.

         This Debt Security may not be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity.

         If an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of this series
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Debt Securities of this
series may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect, on the
terms 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 Debt 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 not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount of the
Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Debt 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 shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Debt Security and of any Debt
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 Debt Security.

         As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no
Holder of a Debt 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 the series, the Holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of this series
shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such proceeding in
respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture
and offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Debt Securities of this series a direction inconsistent with
such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60
calendar days of receipt of such notice and offer of indemnity; provided,
however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder
for the enforcement of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on this Debt Security on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt
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
interest on this Debt Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.  However, the Indenture limits the Holder's rights
to enforce the Indenture and this Debt Security.

         The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire
indebtedness of this Debt Security and (ii) certain restrictive covenants upon
compliance by the Company with conditions set forth therein, which provisions
shall apply to this Debt Security.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Debt Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Debt Security for registration of
