dated as of such issue date, or (b) issued prior to the occurrence of the

Date to the Registered Owner. So long as any "book-entry-only" system is
in effect, the bonds of said Series shall be paid as provided in the letter
of representation referred to above.
SECTION 2. Anything contained in Section 14 of Article I of the
Indenture, or elsewhere in the Indenture, to the contrary notwithstanding,
only the person in whose name any of the bonds of said Series is registered
(the "Registered Owner") at the close of business on any Record Date, as
hereinafter defined, with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be
entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date
notwithstanding the cancellation of such bonds upon any transfer or
exchange subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment
Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Company shall
default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date,
such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names
outstanding bonds of said Series are registered on the Record Date to be
established by the Trustee for payment of such defaulted interest.
SECTION 3. The term "Record Date" as used herein with respect to
any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date for the
payment of defaulted interest) shall mean the applicable Record Date
specified in the form of bond next preceding such Interest Payment Date,
or, if such Record Date shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking
institutions in the City of Chicago, Illinois, are authorized by law to
close, then the next preceding day which shall not be a legal holiday or a
day on which such institutions are so authorized to close.
SECTION 4. The bonds of Series 1997-1 are not subject to

SECTION 5. The Company shall not be required to register,

behalf of the Company and sealed with the corporate seal of the Company,
all in the manner provided or permitted by Section 6 of Article I of the
Indenture, as follows:
(a) bonds of Series 1997-1 executed on behalf of the Company by
its President or a Vice-President and/or by its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary may be so executed by the facsimile signature of such President
or Vice-President and/or of such Secretary or Assistant Secretary, as the
case may be, of the Company, or of any person or persons who shall have
been such officer or officers, as the case may be, of the Company on or
subsequent to the date of this supplemental indenture, notwithstanding that
he or they may have ceased to be such officer or officers of the Company at
the time of the actual execution, authentication, issue or delivery of any
of such bonds, and any such facsimile signature or signatures of any such
officer or officers on any such bonds shall constitute execution of such
bonds on behalf of the Company by such officer or officers of the Company
for the purposes of the Indenture, as hereby amended, and shall be valid
and effective for all purposes, provided that all bonds shall always be
executed on behalf of the Company by the signature, manual or facsimile, of
its President or a Vice-President and of its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, and provided, further, that none of such bonds shall be executed
on behalf of the Company by the same officer or person acting in more than
one capacity; and
(b) such corporate seal of the Company may be a facsimile, and any
bonds of said Series on which such facsimile seal shall be affixed,
impressed, imprinted or reproduced shall be deemed to be sealed with the
corporate seal of the Company for the purposes of the Indenture, as hereby
amended, and such facsimile seal shall be valid and effective for all
purposes.
SECTION 6.
(a) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (g) below, the holder of
all of the bonds of Series 1997-1 shall be the Depository Trust Company
("DTC") and the bonds of said Series shall be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.
(b) The bonds of Series 1997-1 shall be initially issued in the form
of a separate single authenticated fully registered certificate for each
maturity thereof in the name of Cede & Co. and in the aggregate principal
amount of the bonds of Series 1997-1 (the "Global Bonds"). Upon initial
issuance, the ownership of such bonds of said Series shall be registered in
the bond register kept by the Trustee in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee
of DTC. So long as the bonds of said Series are evidenced by Global Bonds,
the Trustee and the Company may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and
exclusive holder of the bonds of Series 1997-1 registered in its name for
the purposes of payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds of
said Series, and of giving any notice permitted or required to be given to
holders under the Indenture and neither the Trustee nor the Company shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Trustee nor the
Company shall have any responsibility or obligation to any of DTC's
participants (each, a "Participant"), any person claiming a beneficial
ownership in the bonds of Series 1997-1 under or through DTC or any
Participant (each, a "Beneficial Owner"), or any other person which is not
shown on the bond register maintained by the Trustee as being a holder,
with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any
Participant, the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount in respect
of the principal of, or interest on the bonds of said Series; any notice
which is permitted or required to be given to holders under the Indenture
of bonds of Series 1997-1; or any consent given or other action taken by
DTC as bondholder. The Trustee shall pay all principal of, and interest on
the bonds of Series 1997-1 registered in the name of Cede & Co. only to or
"upon the order of" DTC (as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial
Code as adopted in Illinois and New York), and all such payments shall be
valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Company's
obligations with respect to the principal of and interest on such bonds of
said Series to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 6(c) and (g) below, no person other than DTC shall
receive authenticated bond certificates evidencing the obligation of the
Company to make payments of principal of and interest on the bonds of said
Series. Upon delivery by DTC to the Trustee of written notice to the
effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of
Cede & Co., and subject to the provision of the Indenture with respect to
transfers of bonds, the word "Cede & Co." in this Supplemental Indenture
shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
(c) All Global Bonds shall be exchangeable for bonds of Series 1997-1
in certificated form registered in the names of Participants and/or
Beneficial Owners if, but only if, (i) DTC notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for bonds of said Series or
at any time ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company instructs the
Trustee that such Global Bonds shall be exchangeable or (iii) there shall
have occurred and be continuing an event of default or an event that with
notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default.
In any such event, the Trustee shall issue, transfer and exchange bond
certificates as requested by DTC in appropriate amounts pursuant to Article
I of the Indenture and Section 1 of this Supplemental Indenture. The
Company shall pay all costs in connection with the production, execution
and delivery of such bond certificates. If bond certificates are issued,
the provisions of the Indenture shall apply to, among other things, the
transfer and exchange of such certificates and the method of payment and
principal of and interest on such certificates.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture
to the contrary, so long as any bonds of Series 1997-1 are evidenced by
Global Bonds, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all
payments with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the bonds of said Series and all notices with respect to the bonds of said
Series shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the
representation letter relating to the bonds of said Series among DTC, the
Trustee and the Company. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to
comply with all terms of the representation letter.
(e) In connection with any notice or other communication to be
provided pursuant to the Indenture for the bonds of Series 1997-1 by the
Company or the Trustee with respect to any consent or other action to be
taken by the holders of the bonds of said Series, the Company or the
Trustee, as the case may be, shall seek to establish a record date to the
extent permitted by the Indenture for such consent or other action and give
DTC notice of such record date not less than fifteen (15) calendar days in
advance of such record date to the extent possible. Such notice to DTC
shall be given only when DTC is the sole holder.
(f) NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY
OR OBLIGATIONS TO THE PARTICIPANTS OR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS WITH RESPECT TO
(1) THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY PARTICIPANT; (2)
THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL
OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF PREMIUM, IF ANY, OR INTEREST ON THE
BONDS OF SERIES 1997-1; (3) THE DELIVERY BY DTC OR ANY PARTICIPANT OF ANY
NOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER WHICH IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE
TERMS OF THE INDENTURE TO BE GIVEN TO HOLDERS; OR (4) ANY CONSENT GIVEN OR
OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY DTC AS A HOLDER.
SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. IS THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE BONDS OF SERIES
1997-1 AS NOMINEE OF DTC, REFERENCES HEREIN TO THE BONDS OF SAID SERIES OR
REGISTERED HOLDERS OF THE BONDS OF SAID SERIES SHALL MEAN CEDE & CO. AND
SHALL NOT MEAN THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE BONDS OF SAID SERIES NOR DTC
PARTICIPANTS.
(g) No Global Bond may be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a
nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or
by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such
successor.
(h) Upon the termination of the services of DTC with respect to the
bonds of Series 1997-1 pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6 after
which no substitute book-entry depository is appointed, the bonds of said
Series shall be registered in whatever name or names holders transferring
or exchanging bonds of said Series shall designate in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture.

are, and each of them is, hereby amended by striking out the words
"Series L, Newton, Series W through Series Z and Series 1995-1" wherever

1997-1" and the Company hereby covenants and agrees to observe and comply
with the provisions of said sections as hereby amended.

Indenture, as hereby amended, shall remain in full force and effect.

supplemental indenture, to any article, section, term or provision of the
Indenture shall mean and be deemed to refer to such article, section, term
or provision of the Indenture, as hereby amended, except where the context
otherwise indicates.
