(FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the "Securities"), specified in the Indenture, all issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 1, 1995, duly executed and delivered by the Company to The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the 8.25% Notes due October 1, 2011 Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 2, 2001, between the Company and the Trustee (the Indenture, as so supplemented, the "Indenture"), to which Indenture and all Indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any) may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 8.25% Notes due October 1, 2011 of the Company, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, on overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by this Note. If a payment date is not a Business Day as defined in the Indenture at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
The Company shall have the right to redeem this Note at the option of the Company, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part (an "Optional Redemption"), at a redemption price (the "Optional Redemption Price") equal to the greater of:
(a) 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date; or
(b) the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes being redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to its present value as of the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, as determined by the Quotation Agent, plus 50 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.
Any redemption pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice before the Redemption Date to the Holders, at the Optional Redemption Price. If the Notes are only partially redeemed by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Notes will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee; provided that if at the time of redemption the Notes are
108
the principal amount of such Notes held by each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
[In the event that a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, then the Company shall pay additional interest (in addition to the interest otherwise due hereon) ("Additional Interest") to the Holder during the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any such Registration Default in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum (regardless of the number of Registration Defaults) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur (subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement) to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured. The amount of interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period until such Registration Default is cured, up to a maximum amount of Additional Interest of 0.50% per annum. In the event of a Registration Default under clause (vi) of Section 2(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes affected thereby over and above the interest rate due on such Notes only if the aggregate number of days in any 12-month period for which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) or the Resale Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall not be available exceeds 60 days in the aggregate (whether or not consecutive), and in such case, from and including the next day following the 60th such day to the date such Registration Default is cured. The Company shall pay amounts due in respect of Additional Interest on each Interest Payment Date (or, if the Company shall default in the payment of interest on any Interest Payment Date, on the date such interest is otherwise paid as provided in the Indenture).]1
[There shall also be payable in respect of this Note all Additional Interest that may have accrued on the Note for which this Note was exchanged (as defined in such Note) pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such Additional Interest to be calculated in accordance with the terms of such Note and payable at the same time and in the same manner as periodic interest on this Note.]2
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Notes may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions which provide that without prior notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and the Securities of any series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (all such series voting as one class), and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all
109
series affected thereby (all such series voting as one class) by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities of such series; provided that without the consent of each Holder of the Securities of each series affected thereby, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver of past defaults, may not: (i) extend the stated maturity of the principal of, or any sinking fund obligation or any installment of interest on, such Holder's Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), or any premium payable with respect thereto, or adversely affect the rights of such Holder under any mandatory repurchase provision or any right of repurchase at the option of such Holder, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy, or change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any Security of such series or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the stated maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date or, in the case of mandatory repurchase, the date therefor); (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain Defaults and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security of such series; (iv) cause any Security of such series to be subordinated in right of payment to any obligation of the Company; or (v) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture governing supplemental indentures with the consent of Securityholders except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security of any series affected thereby.
It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain conditions, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the series affected (all such series voting as a single class), by notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
The Indenture provides that a series of Securities may include one or more tranches (each a "tranche") of Securities, including Securities issued in a periodic offering. The Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and public offering prices, but all the Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms, including authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to sections of the Indenture concerning the execution, authentication and terms of the Securities, redemption of the Securities, Events of Default of the Securities, defeasance of the Securities and amendment of the Indenture, if any series of Securities includes more than one tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though originally designated a series
110
or a supplemental indenture establishing such series or tranche.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note in the manner, at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
The Notes are issuable initially only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple of $1,000 at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company or the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Company or the Trustee), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and, subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present, or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.
Terms used herein which are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.
THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.
