         SECTION 2.04.  Form of Reverse of 2010 Note.

         This 7.75% Senior Note due 2010 is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Issuer (herein called the "2010 Notes"), issued and to be
issued under an Indenture, dated as of September 15, 1992, as supplemented by
certain supplemental indentures, including the Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of September 29, 2004 (herein collectively referred to as the
"Indenture"), between the Issuer and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A., a national
banking association (ultimate successor to NBD Bank, National Association), 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 Issuer, the Trustee, and the
Holders of the 2010 Notes and of the terms upon which the 2010 Notes are, and
are to be,



                                       15
<PAGE>

authenticated and delivered. This 2010 Note is one of the series designated on
the face hereof, issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of
$300,000,000. Additional Securities, without limitation as to amount, having
substantially the same terms as the 2010 Notes (except a different issue date,
issue price and bearing interest from the last Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for on the 2010 Notes, and, if no
interest has been paid, from September 29, 2004), may also be issued by the
Issuer pursuant to the Indenture without the consent of the existing Holders of
the 2010 Notes. Such additional Securities shall be part of the same series as
the 2010 Notes.

         The 2010 Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer,
in whole or in part, upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days' notice as
provided in the Indenture at any time and from time to time, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such 2010 Notes being redeemed
plus the Applicable Premium, if any, thereon at the time of redemption, together
with accrued interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, but interest
installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such redemption date will
be payable to the Holder of record at the close of business on the relevant
Record Date referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. In
no event will the redemption price ever be less than 100% of the principal
amount of the 2010 Notes plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

         The following definitions are used to determine the Applicable Premium:

         "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to a 2010 Note (or portion
thereof) being redeemed at any time, the excess of (A) the present value at such
time of the principal amount of such 2010 Note (or portion thereof) being
redeemed plus all interest payments due on such 2010 Note (or portion thereof),
which present value shall be computed using a discount rate equal to the
Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such 2010
Note (or portion thereof) being redeemed at such time. For purposes of this
definition, the present values of the interest and principal payments will be
determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial
analysis.

         "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of computation
of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and
published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) which
has become publicly available at least two business days prior to the redemption
date or, in the case of defeasance, prior to the date of deposit (or, if such
Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of
similar market data)) most nearly equal to the then remaining average life to
stated maturity of the 2010 Notes; provided, however, that if the average life
to stated maturity of the 2010 Notes is not equal to the constant maturity of a
United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the
Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the
nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States
Treasury securities for which such yields are given.

         In the event of redemption of this 2010 Note in part only, a new 2010
Note for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

         If a Change in Control occurs, the Issuer shall notify the Holder of
this 2010 Note of such occurrence and such Holder shall have the right to
require the Issuer to make a Required Repurchase of all or any part of this 2010
Note at a Change in Control Purchase Price equal to 101% of the principal amount
of this 2010 Note to be so purchased as more fully provided in the Indenture and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. In the event of a
Required Repurchase of only a portion of this 2010 Note, a new 2010 Note or 2010
Notes for the unrepurchased portion hereof will be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

         If an Event of Default with respect to this 2010 Note shall occur and
be continuing, the principal of this 2010 Note may be declared due and payable
in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

         In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date,
repurchase date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any 2010 Note shall not be a
Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision
of the Indenture or this 2010 Note) payment of interest or principal (and
premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may
be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the
same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, repurchase date
or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue on
the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
redemption date, repurchase date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may
be, to such Business Day.

         The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Issuer upon
written request any money or property held by them for the payment of any amount
with respect to the 2010 Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such return, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once
in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each
such Holder notice that such money or property remains unclaimed and that, after
a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication or mailing, any unclaimed money or property then remaining
shall be returned to the Issuer. After return to the Issuer, Holders entitled to
the money or property must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors
unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

         The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the
entire indebtedness of this 2010 Note or (ii) certain restrictive covenants and

amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of all outstanding 2010 Notes under the

Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Securities of all
series then outstanding and affected (voting as one class).

         The Indenture permits the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of Securities of all series at the time outstanding with
respect to which a default shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as one
class) to waive on behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Securities of such
series any past default by the Issuer, provided that no such waiver may be made
with respect to a default in the payment of the principal of or the interest on
any Security of such series or the default by the Issuer in respect of certain
covenants or provisions of the Indenture, the modification or amendment of which
must be consented to by the Holder of each outstanding Security of each series

Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of each affected series (voting as one class) shall have made written
request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such
proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each affected
series (voting as one class) 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 any interest on this 2010 Note on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this 2010 Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest

                                CHANGE IN CONTROL

         SECTION 3.01. Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control (the effective date of such Change in Control being the "Change in
Control Date"), each Holder of a 2010 Note shall have the right to require that
the Issuer repurchase (a "Required Repurchase") all or any part of such Holder's
2010 Note at a repurchase price payable in cash equal to 101% of the principal
amount of such 2010 Note plus accrued interest to the Purchase Date (the "Change
in Control Purchase Price").

         (a) Within 30 days following the Change in Control Date, the Issuer
shall mail a notice (the "Required Repurchase Notice") to each Holder with a
copy to the Trustee stating:

                  (i) that a Change in Control has occurred and that such Holder
                  has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any
                  part of such Holder's 2010 Notes at the Change in Control
                  Purchase Price;

                  (ii)     the Change in Control Purchase Price;

                  (iii) the date on which any Required Repurchase shall be made
                  (which shall be no earlier than 60 days nor later than 90 days
                  from the date such notice is mailed) (the "Purchase Date");

                  (iv)     the name and address of the Paying Agent; and

                  (v) the procedures that Holders must follow to cause the 2010
                  Notes to be repurchased, which shall be consistent with this
                  Section 3.01 and the Indenture.

         (b) Holders electing to have a 2010 Note repurchased must deliver a
written notice (the "Change in Control Purchase Notice") to the Paying Agent
(initially the Trustee) at its corporate trust office in Chicago, Illinois, or
any other office of the Paying Agent maintained for such purposes, not later
than 30 days prior to the Purchase Date. The Change in Control Purchase Notice
shall state: (i) the portion of the principal amount of any 2010 Notes to be
repurchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; (ii)
that such 2010 Notes are to be repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to the change
in control provisions of the Indenture; and (iii) unless the 2010 Notes are
represented by one or more Global Notes, the certificate numbers of the 2010
Notes to be delivered by the Holder thereof for repurchase by the Issuer. Any
Change in Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by the Holder by a written
notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent not later than three Business
Days prior to the Purchase Date. The notice of withdrawal shall state the
principal amount and, if applicable, the certificate numbers of the 2010 Notes
as to which the withdrawal notice relates and the



                                       20
<PAGE>

principal amount of such 2010 Notes, if any, which remains subject to a Change
in Control Purchase Notice.

         If a 2010 Note is represented by a Global Note (as described in Article
VI hereof), the Depositary or its nominee will be the Holder of such 2010 Note
and therefore will be the only entity that can elect a Required Repurchase of
such 2010 Note. To obtain repayment pursuant to this Section 3.01 with respect
to such 2010 Note, the beneficial owner of such 2010 Note must provide to the
broker or other entity through which it holds the beneficial interest in such
2010 Note (i) the Change in Control Purchase Notice signed by such beneficial
owner, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered
national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or
correspondent in the United States, and (ii) instructions to such broker or
other entity to notify the Depositary of such beneficial owner's desire to
obtain repayment pursuant to this Section 3.01. Such broker or other entity will
provide to the Paying Agent (i) the Change in Control Purchase Notice received
from such beneficial owner and (ii) a certificate satisfactory to the Paying
Agent from such broker or other entity stating that it represents such
beneficial owner. Such broker or other entity will be responsible for disbursing
any payments it receives pursuant to this Section 3.01 to such beneficial owner.

         (c) Payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price for a 2010 Note for
which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn
is conditioned (except in the case of a 2010 Note represented by one or more
Global Notes) upon delivery of such 2010 Note (together with necessary
endorsements) to the Paying Agent at its office in Chicago, Illinois, or any
other office of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose, at any time
(whether prior to, on or after the Purchase Date) after the delivery of such
Change in Control Purchase Notice. Payment of the Change in Control Purchase
Price for such 2010 Note will be made promptly following the later of the
Purchase Date or the time of delivery of such 2010 Note. If the Paying Agent
holds, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, money sufficient to pay
the Change in Control Purchase Price of such 2010 Note on the Business Day
following the Purchase Date, then, on and after such date, interest will cease
accruing, and all other rights of the Holder shall terminate (other than the
right to receive the Change in Control Purchase Price upon delivery of the 2010
Note).

         (d) The Issuer shall comply with the provisions of Regulation 14E and
any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, which may then be
applicable in connection with any offer by the Issuer to repurchase 2010 Notes
at the option of Holders upon a Change in Control.

         (e) No 2010 Note may be repurchased by the Issuer as a result of a
Change in Control if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default
(other than a default in the payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price
with respect to the 2010 Notes).

                         WITH RESPECT TO THE 2010 NOTES

         SECTION 4.01. Existence. So long as any of the 2010 Notes are

not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien, mortgage, pledge,

or encumbrance of any kind, or any other type of arrangement intended or having
the effect of conferring upon a creditor of the Issuer or any Subsidiary a
preferential interest (hereinafter in this Section 4.02 referred to as a "Lien")
upon or with respect to any of its property of any character, including without
limitation any shares of Capital Stock of Consumers or Enterprises, without
making effective provision whereby the 2010 Notes shall (so long as any such
other creditor shall be so secured) be equally and ratably secured (along with
any other creditor similarly entitled to be secured) by a direct Lien on all
property subject to such Lien, provided, however, that the foregoing
restrictions shall not apply to:

         (i) Liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies to
         the extent not past due;

         (ii) pledges or deposits to secure (A) obligations under workmen's

         purpose of financing the acquisition of any such property to be subject
         to such Liens, or Liens existing on any such property at the time of
         acquisition, or extensions, renewals or replacements of any of the
         foregoing for the same or a lesser amount, provided that no such Lien
         shall extend to or cover any property other than the property being
         acquired and no such extension, renewal or replacement shall extend to
         or cover property not theretofore subject to the Lien being extended,
         renewed or replaced, and provided, further, that the aggregate
         principal amount of the Indebtedness at any one time outstanding
         secured by Liens permitted by this clause (iv) shall not exceed
         $10,000,000; and



                                       22
<PAGE>

         (v) Liens not otherwise permitted by clauses (i) through (iv) of this
         Section 4.02 securing Indebtedness of the Issuer; provided that on the
         date such Liens are created, and after giving effect to such
         Indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount at maturity of all of the
         secured Indebtedness of the Issuer at such date shall not exceed 5% of
         Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at such date.

         SECTION 4.03. Limitation on Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance.
So long as any of the 2010 Notes are outstanding and until the 2010 Notes are
rated BBB- or above (or an equivalent rating) by Standard & Poor's and one Other
Rating Agency (or, if Standard & Poor's shall change its rating system, an
equivalent of such rating then employed by such organization), at which time the
Issuer will be permanently released from the provisions of this Section 4.03,
and subject also to Article Nine of the Original Indenture, the Issuer shall not
consolidate with or merge into any other Person or sell, lease or convey the
property of the Issuer in the entirety or substantially as an entirety, unless
(a) immediately after giving effect to such transaction the Consolidated Net
Worth of the surviving entity is at least equal to the Consolidated Net Worth of
the Issuer immediately prior to the transaction and (b) after giving effect to

Section 4.04, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Consolidated
Subsidiary of the Issuer to, issue, create, assume, guarantee, incur or
otherwise become liable for (collectively, "issue"), directly or indirectly, any
Indebtedness unless the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries for the four consecutive fiscal quarters immediately
preceding the issuance of such Indebtedness (as shown by a pro forma
consolidated income statement of the Issuer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
for the four most recent fiscal quarters ending at least 30 days prior to the
issuance of such Indebtedness after giving effect to (i) the issuance of such
Indebtedness and (if applicable) the application of the net proceeds thereof to
refinance other Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness was issued at the beginning
of the period, (ii) the issuance and retirement of any other Indebtedness since
the first day of the period as if such Indebtedness was issued or retired at the

(including giving effect to the pro forma historical earnings of such company or
business), including any acquisition which will be consummated contemporaneously

         Subsidiary or (ii) any transfer of such Indebtedness (except to the
         Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall be deemed for the purposes of this
         Section 4.04(b) to constitute the issuance of such Indebtedness by the
         Issuer;

         (4) Indebtedness of the Issuer issued in exchange for, or the proceeds

         giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall
         have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom); or

         (2) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other
         Restricted Payments made since May 6, 1997 would exceed the sum of:

                  (A) $100,000,000;

                  (B) 100% of Consolidated Net Income, accrued during the period
                  (treated as one accounting period) from May 6, 1997 to the end
                  of the most recent fiscal quarter ending at least 45 days
                  prior to the date of such Restricted Payment (or, in case such
                  sum shall be a deficit, minus 100% of the deficit); and

                  (C) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Issuer
                  from the issue or sale of or contribution with respect to its
                  Capital Stock subsequent to May 6, 1997.

         For the purpose of determining the amount of any Restricted Payment not
in the form of cash, the amount shall be the fair value of such Restricted
Payment as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, provided that if
the value of the non-cash portion of such Restricted Payment as determined by
the Board of Directors is in excess of $25 million, such value shall be based on
the opinion from a nationally recognized firm experienced in the appraisal of
similar types of transactions.

         (b) The provisions of Section 4.05(a) hereof shall not prohibit:

                  (i) any purchase or redemption of Capital Stock of the Issuer
                  made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the
                  substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock of the Issuer
                  (other than Redeemable Stock or Exchangeable Stock); provided,
                  however, that such purchase or redemption shall be excluded
                  from the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

                  (ii) dividends or other distributions paid in respect of any
                  class of the Issuer's Capital Stock issued in respect of the
                  acquisition of any business or assets by the Issuer or a
                  Restricted Subsidiary if the dividends or other distributions
                  with respect to such Capital Stock are payable solely from the
                  net earnings of such business or assets;



                                       26

                  (iii) dividends paid within 60 days after the date of
                  declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such
                  dividend would have complied with this Section 4.05; provided,
                  however, that at the time of payment of such dividend, no
                  Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or
                  result therefrom), and provided further, however, that such
                  dividends shall be included (without duplication) in the
                  calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; or

                  (iv) payments pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement.

         SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Asset Sales. So long as any of the 2010
Notes are outstanding, the Issuer may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any property or assets of the Issuer, including Capital Stock of any
Consolidated Subsidiary, in one transaction or a series of transactions in an
amount which exceeds $50,000,000 (an "Asset Sale") unless the Issuer shall (i)
apply an amount equal to such excess Net Cash Proceeds to permanently repay
Indebtedness of a Consolidated Subsidiary or Indebtedness of the Issuer which is
pari passu with the 2010 Notes, (ii) invest an equal amount not so used in
clause (i) in property or assets of related business within 24 months after the
date of the Asset Sale (the "Application Period") or (iii) apply such excess Net
Cash Proceeds not so used in clause (i) or (ii) (the "Excess Proceeds") to make
an offer, within 30 days after the end of the Application Period, to purchase
from the Holders on a pro rata basis an aggregate principal amount of 2010 Notes
on the relevant purchase date equal to the Excess Proceeds on such date, at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2010 Notes on the
relevant purchase date and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. The
Issuer shall only be required to make an offer to purchase 2010 Notes from
Holders pursuant to clause (iii) if the Excess Proceeds equal or exceed
$25,000,000 at any given time.

         The procedures to be followed by the Issuer in making an offer to
purchase 2010 Notes from the Holders with Excess Proceeds, and for the
acceptance of such offer by the Holders, shall be the same as those set forth in
Section 3.01 herein with respect to a Change in Control.

                          ADDITIONAL EVENTS OF DEFAULT
                         WITH RESPECT TO THE 2010 NOTES

         SECTION 5.01. Definition. All of the events specified in clauses (a)
through (h) of Section 5.1 of the Original Indenture shall be Events of Default
with respect to the 2010 Notes.

         SECTION 5.02. Amendments to Section 5.1 of the Original Indenture.
Solely for the purpose of determining Events of Default with respect to the 2010
Notes, paragraphs Section 5.1(e), Section 5.1(f) and Section 5.1(h) of the
Original Indenture shall be amended such that each and every reference therein
to the Issuer shall be deemed to mean either the Issuer or Consumers.

         SECTION 5.03. Additional Events of Default. Solely for the purpose of
determining Events of Default with respect to the 2010 Notes, an Event of
Default shall also include the following:

         (i) default in the payment of any interest upon any 2010 Note when it
         becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for 30 days;

         (ii) default in the Issuer's obligation to redeem the 2010 Notes after
         exercising its redemption option pursuant to this Fifteenth
         Supplemental Indenture; and

         (iii) default in the Issuer's obligation to purchase 2010 Notes upon
         the occurrence of a Change in Control in accordance with the terms of
         Article III hereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  GLOBAL NOTES

         The 2010 Notes will be issued initially in the form of Global Notes.
"Global Note" means a registered 2010 Note evidencing one or more 2010 Notes
issued to a depositary (the "Depositary") or its nominee, in accordance with
this Article VI and bearing the legend prescribed in this Article VI. One or
more Global Notes will represent all 2010 Notes. The Issuer shall execute and
the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Article VI and the Issuer Order with
respect to the 2010 Notes, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Notes in
temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in
an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes to
be represented by such Global Note or Global Notes, (ii) shall be registered in
the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee
of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary
or pursuant to such Depositary's instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend
substantially to the following effect: "Unless the Global 2010 Note is presented
by an authorized representative of the Depositary to the Issuer or its agent for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is
registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary or in such other name as
is requested by an authorized representative of the Depositary (and any payment
is made to such nominee of the Depositary or to such other entity as is
requested by an authorized representative of the Depositary), any transfer,
pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any Person is
wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof has an interest herein."

         Notwithstanding Section 2.8 of the Original Indenture, unless and until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for 2010 Notes in definitive form, a Global
Note representing one or more 2010 Notes may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary, to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for 2010 Notes or a
nominee of such successor Depositary.



                                       28
<PAGE>

         If at any time the Depositary for the 2010 Notes is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for the 2010 Notes, the Issuer shall appoint a
successor Depositary with respect to the 2010 Notes. If a successor Depositary
for the 2010 Notes is not appointed by the Issuer by the earlier of (i) 90 days
from the date the Issuer receives notice to the effect that the Depositary is
unwilling or unable to act, or the Issuer determines that the Depositary is
unable to act or (ii) the effectiveness of the Depositary's resignation or
failure to fulfill its duties as Depositary, the Issuer will execute, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive 2010 Notes, will authenticate and deliver 2010 Notes in definitive
form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
Global Note or Global Notes representing such 2010 Notes in exchange for such
Global Note or Global Notes.

         The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the 2010 Notes issued in the form of one or more Global Notes shall no longer be
represented by such Global Note or Global Notes. In such event the Issuer will
execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication
and delivery of definitive 2010 Notes, will authenticate and deliver 2010 Notes
in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Note or Global Notes representing such 2010 Notes in
exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes.

         The Depositary for such 2010 Notes may surrender a Global Note or
Global Notes for such 2010 Notes in exchange in whole or in part for 2010 Notes
in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such
Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge:

         (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new 2010 Note or 2010
         Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in
         aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's
         beneficial interest in the Global Note; and

         (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Note in a denomination equal to
         the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered
         Global Note and the aggregate principal amount of 2010 Notes in
         definitive form delivered to Holders thereof.

         In any exchange provided for in this Article VI, the Issuer will
execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver 2010 Notes in definitive
registered form in authorized denominations.

         Upon the exchange of a Global Note for 2010 Notes in definitive form,
such Global Note shall be cancelled by the Trustee. 2010 Notes in definitive
form issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Article VI shall be
registered in such names



                                       29
<PAGE>

and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Note,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise,
shall instruct the Trustee or Security Registrar. The Trustee shall deliver such
2010 Notes to the Persons in whose names such 2010 Notes are so registered.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                   DEFEASANCE

         All of the provisions of Article Ten of the Original Indenture shall be
applicable to the 2010 Notes. Upon satisfaction by the Issuer of the
requirements of Section 10.1(C) of the Indenture, in connection with any
covenant defeasance (as provided in Section 10.1(C) of the Indenture), the
Issuer shall be released from its obligations under Article Nine of the Original
Indenture and under Article IV of this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture with
respect to the 2010 Notes.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

         This Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture is a supplement to the Original
Indenture. As supplemented by this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, the
Original Indenture is in all respects ratified, approved and confirmed, and the
Original Indenture and this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                             MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

         In addition to those matters set forth in Section 8.2 of the Original
Indenture (including the terms and conditions of the 2010 Notes set forth
herein), with respect to the 2010 Notes, no amendment or supplemental indenture
to the Indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each 2010 Note
affected thereby:

         (a) reduce the redemption price or Change in Control Purchase Price of
the 2010 Notes; or

         (b) change the terms applicable to redemption or purchase of the 2010
Notes in a manner adverse to the Holder.

         In addition, with respect to the 2010 Notes, notwithstanding Section
5.10 of the Original Indenture, approval of the Holders of each outstanding 2010
Note shall be required to waive any default by the Issuer in any payment of the
redemption price or Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to any 2010
Notes.
