In determining the Treasury Rate,  the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15  exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”);  or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life,  the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately  shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately  longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis  (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal  places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than  the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the  Remaining Life.  For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or  maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of  months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.  





 






  10  If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor  designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate  based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m.,  New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United  States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as  applicable.  If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there  are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the  Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date  following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a  maturity date preceding the Par Call Date.  If there are two or more United States Treasury  securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting  the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more  United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par  based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at  11:00 a.m., New York City time.  In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms  of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury  security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of  principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security,  and rounded to three decimal places.  (d) In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem and pay off all or any  part of such bonds of Series 132 or bonds of Series 133 as hereinbefore provided, it shall comply with all  the terms and provisions of Article V of the Mortgage applicable thereto, and such redemption shall be  made under and subject to the terms and provisions of Article V and in the manner and with the effect  therein provided, but at the time or times and upon mailing or delivery of notice, all as hereinbefore set  forth in this Section 7.  No publication of notice of any redemption of any bonds of Series 132 or any  bonds of Series 133 shall be required under Section 5.03(a) of the Mortgage.  (e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7, in the event the bonds of Series 132 or  the bonds of Series 133 are registered in the name of DTC (as defined below) or its nominee, as provided  in Section 8 hereof, any notice of redemption with respect to the bonds of Series 132 or bonds of Series  133 shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.  SECTION 8.  Book-Entry Only System. It is intended that the bonds of Series 132 and the bonds  of Series 133 be registered so as to participate in the securities depository system (the “DTC System”)  with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as set forth herein.  The bonds of Series 132 and the  bonds of Series 133 shall be initially issued in the form of a fully registered bond or bonds in the name of  Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for DTC.  The Company and the Trustees are  authorized to execute and deliver such letters to or agreements with DTC as shall be necessary to  effectuate the DTC System, including the Letter of Representations from the Company and the Trustees  to DTC relating to the bonds of Series 132 and the bonds of Series 133 (the “Representation Letter”).  In  the event of any conflict between the terms of the Representation Letter and the Mortgage, the terms of  the Mortgage shall control.  DTC may exercise the rights of a bondholder only in accordance with the  terms hereof applicable to the exercise of such rights.  With respect to bonds of Series 132 and the bonds of Series 133 registered in the name of DTC or  its nominee, the Company and the Trustees shall have no responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer,  bank or other financial institution for which DTC holds such bonds from time to time as securities  depository (each such broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution being referred to herein as a  “Depository Participant”) or to any person on behalf of whom such a Depository Participant holds an  interest in such bonds (each such person being herein referred to as an “Indirect Participant”).  Without  





 






  11  limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Company and the Trustees shall have no responsibility  or obligation with respect to:  (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, its nominee or any Depository Participant  with respect to any ownership interest in the bonds of Series 132 or the bonds of Series 133,  (ii) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any Indirect Participant or any other  person, other than a registered owner of a bond of Series 132 or a bond of Series 133, of any  notice with respect to the bonds of Series 132 or the bonds of Series 133, including any notice of  redemption,  (iii) the payment to any Depository Participant or Indirect Participant or any other  person, other than a registered owner of a bond of Series 132 or a bond of Series 133, of any  amount with respect to principal of, redemption premium, if any, on, or interest on, the bonds of  Series 132 or the bonds of Series 133, or  (iv) any consent given by DTC as registered owner.  So long as certificates for the bonds of Series 132 or the bonds of Series 133 are not issued as hereinafter  provided, the Company and the Trustees may treat DTC or any successor securities depository as, and  deem DTC or any successor securities depository to be, the absolute owner of such bonds for all purposes  whatsoever, including, without limitation, (1) the payment of principal and interest on such bonds, (2)  giving notice of matters (including redemption) with respect to such bonds and (3) registering transfers  with respect to such bonds. While a bond of Series 132 or a bond of Series 133 is in the DTC System, no  person other than DTC or its nominee shall receive a certificate with respect to such bond.  In the event that:  (a) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary  or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law and a successor  depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days,  (b) the Company determines that the beneficial owners of the bonds of Series 132  should be able to obtain certificated bonds and so notifies the Trustees in writing or  (c) there shall have occurred and be continuing a completed default or any event  which after notice or lapse of time or both would be a completed default with respect to the bonds  of Series 132,  the bonds of Series 132 shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of DTC or its  nominee.  In the case of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, the Company may determine that the bonds  of Series 132 shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a  securities depository system, as may be acceptable to the Company and the Trustees, or such depository's  agent or designee, and if the Company does not appoint a successor securities depository system within  90 days, then the bonds may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of bonds  transferring or exchanging such bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Mortgage to the contrary, so long as any bond of  Series 132 is registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, all payments with respect to principal of and  interest on such bond and all notices with respect to such bond shall be made and given, respectively, in  the manner provided in the Representation Letter.  





 






  12  In the event that:  (a) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary  or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law and a successor  depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days,  (b) the Company determines that the beneficial owners of the bonds of Series 133  should be able to obtain certificated bonds and so notifies the Trustees in writing or  (c) there shall have occurred and be continuing a completed default or any event  which after notice or lapse of time or both would be a completed default with respect to the bonds  of Series 133,  the bonds of Series 133 shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of DTC or its  nominee.  In the case of clause (a) of the preceding sentence, the Company may determine that the bonds  of Series 133 shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a  securities depository system, as may be acceptable to the Company and the Trustees, or such depository's  agent or designee, and if the Company does not appoint a successor securities depository system within  90 days, then the bonds may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of bonds  transferring or exchanging such bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Mortgage to the contrary, so long as any bond of  Series 133 is registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, all payments with respect to principal of and  interest on such bond and all notices with respect to such bond shall be made and given, respectively, in  the manner provided in the Representation Letter.  SECTION 9.  Legends.  So long as the bonds of Series 132 are held by DTC, such bonds of  Series 132 shall, and so long as the bonds of Series 133 are held by DTC, such bonds of Series 133 shall,  bear the following legend:  Unless this bond is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository Trust  Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Company or its agent for registration of  transfer, exchange or payment, and any bond issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in  such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is  made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of  DTC), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by a person is wrongful  inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.  SECTION 10.  Confirmation of Lien.  The Company, for the equal and proportionate benefit  and security of the holders of all bonds at any time issued under the Mortgage, hereby confirms the lien of  the Mortgage upon, and hereby grants, bargains, sells, transfers, assigns, pledges, mortgages, warrants  and conveys unto the Trustees, all property of the Company and all property hereafter acquired by the  Company, other than (in each case) property which, by virtue of any of the provisions of the Mortgage, is  excluded from such lien, and hereby confirms the title of the Trustees (as set forth in the Mortgage) in and  to all such property.  Without in any way limiting or restricting the generality of the foregoing, there is  specifically included within the confirmation of lien and title hereinabove expressed the property of the  Company legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof.  SECTION 11.  Amendment of Provisions of Mortgage.  (a)  Section 15.06 of the Mortgage shall  be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:  





 






  13  SECTION 15.06.  The Trustee and any successor to the Trustee may resign and be  discharged from the trusts created by this Mortgage by giving notice thereof in writing to the  Company, specifying the date when such resignation shall take effect, and by giving notice thereof  to the bondholders in the manner and to the extent provided under Section 15.10(c), and by  publishing such notice at least once a week for three successive calendar weeks (the first such  publication to be not less than thirty days nor more than sixty days prior to the effective date of  such resignation) in one authorized newspaper in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, and in one  authorized newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York.   Subject to the provisions of Sections 15.04 and 15.05, such resignation shall take effect on the date  specified in such notice unless previously a successor Trustee shall have been appointed as  hereinafter provided, in which event such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of  such successor Trustee. The Co-Trustee and any successor to the Co-Trustee may resign at any  time and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving the Trustee and the Company notice  in writing of such resignation, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, which shall  be at least thirty days after the giving of such notice.  Such resignation shall, subject to the  provisions of Sections 15.04 and 15.05, take effect on the date specified in such notice unless  previously a successor trustee shall have been appointed as hereinafter provided, in which event  such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of such a successor trustee.  Either of the Trustees or any successor trustee may be removed at any time by the holders  of a majority in principal amount of the bonds issued hereunder and at the time outstanding, upon  payment to the trustee so removed of all moneys then due to it or him hereunder, by an instrument  or concurrent instruments in writing, signed in duplicate by such holders.  One copy shall be filed  with the Company and the other with the trustee so removed.  The Co-Trustee and any successor to the Co-Trustee may be removed at any time by an  instrument in writing signed in duplicate by the Trustee, one copy of which shall be filed with the  Company and the other delivered to the Co-Trustee so removed.  In case at any time either of the Trustees or any successor trustee shall resign, die, be  dissolved or be removed or otherwise shall become disqualified to act or incapable of acting, or in  case control of the Trustee or of any successor trustee, or of its officers shall be taken over by any  public officer or officers, a successor trustee may be appointed by the holders of a majority in  principal amount of the bonds issued hereunder and at the time outstanding by an instrument or  concurrent instruments in writing signed in duplicate by such holders, and filed, one copy with the  retiring trustee and the other with the successor trustee, notification thereof being given to the  Company by such successor trustee; but until a successor trustee shall be so appointed by the  bondholders as herein authorized, the Company, by an instrument in writing, executed by order of  the Board of Directors, shall in any such case appoint a successor to the Trustee and the Trustee  shall, by an instrument in writing in any such case, appoint a successor to the Co-Trustee.  Every  such successor to the Trustee so appointed by the bondholders, by a court of competent jurisdiction  or by the Company shall be a bank or trust company in good standing organized and doing business  under the laws of the United States or of any State, having an office in the United States of America,  and (a) which shall be a corporation having a combined capital and surplus of not less than  $5,000,000, (b) which shall be authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation to  exercise corporate trust powers, and (c) which shall be subject to supervision or examination by a  Federal or State authority.  If such successor Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually,  pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, the combined  capital and surplus of such successor Trustee shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus  as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  Every such successor trustee  





 






  14  appointed by the bondholders or by the Trustee in succession to the Co-Trustee shall always be an  individual, a citizen of the United States of America, unless otherwise required by law.  Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, in case at any time the Co-Trustee,  or any successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates,  properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the Trustees hereunder shall, to the extent  permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without the appointment of a successor  Co-Trustee.  If in a proper case no appointment of a successor to the Trustee or of a successor to the Co- Trustee shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article XV within six months  after a vacancy shall have occurred in the office of trustee, the holder of any bond or the retiring  Trustee or Co-Trustee may apply to any court, State or Federal having jurisdiction to appoint a  successor trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem  proper and prescribe, appoint a successor to the Trustee or to the Co-Trustee, as the case may be.  (b) Section 15.01 of the Mortgage shall be amended to add the following new Sections  15.01(k), 15.01(l) and 15.01(m):  (k) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or  consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)  irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and  regardless of the form of action.  (l) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the  performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces  beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or  terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God and  interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and  hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts consistent with  accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the  circumstances.  (m) In the event that certificates for the bonds of a series are issued to registered holders  of such bonds other than a securities depository, the Company agrees:  (1) to cooperate with the Trustee in the determination of whether there are any  United States tax withholding obligations in respect of payments to be made on those bonds  under this Mortgage by providing the Trustee with information within the Company’s  possession or control about the holders of those bonds or other applicable parties and/or  transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee  can determine whether it has United States tax related obligations under applicable tax  laws, rules and regulations (inclusive of directives, guidelines and interpretations  promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”),   (2) the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from  payments otherwise payable to the holders of those bonds under this Mortgage to the extent  necessary to comply with Applicable Law for which the Trustee shall not have any liability,  and   





 






  15  (3) to hold harmless the Trustee for any losses it may suffer due to the actions  the Trustee takes in respect of those bonds to comply with Applicable Law; provided that  the Trustee has acted in good faith and has not been negligent in such compliance.    (c) The holders of the bonds of Series 132 and holders of the bonds of Series 133 shall be  deemed to have approved the amendments set forth in Sections 11(a) and 11(b); however, those  amendments shall not become effective until such time as the amendments shall have received the  requisite approvals under the provisions of the Mortgage.  SECTION 12.  Miscellaneous.  The terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture shall  be deemed to be a part of the terms and conditions of the Mortgage for any and all purposes. The  Mortgage, as supplemented by said indentures supplemental thereto dated subsequent to August 1, 1944  and referred to in the recitals of this Supplemental Indenture, and as further supplemented by this  Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects hereby ratified and confirmed.  This Supplemental Indenture shall bind and, subject to the provisions of Article XIV of the  Mortgage, inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto.  Although this Supplemental Indenture is dated as of February 23, 2022, it shall be effective only  from and after the actual time of its execution and delivery by the Company and the Trustees on the date  indicated by their respective acknowledgments hereto annexed.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Mortgage, the maximum amount of  indebtedness secured by the Mortgage shall not exceed 200% of the aggregate stated principal amount of  the bonds of each series presently outstanding under, and secured by, the Mortgage, as set forth in the  Recitals to this Supplemental Indenture, except to the extent such maximum amount may be adjusted by a  subsequent recorded supplemental indenture (which adjustment, and the corresponding supplemental  indenture, shall not require the consent or approval of the holders of any bonds then outstanding under the  Mortgage, including the holders of the bonds of Series 132 and the bonds of Series 133).  This Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed in any number of counterparts, and  all such counterparts executed and delivered, each as an original, shall constitute but one and the same  instrument.  The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustees  assume no responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustees make no representations as to the validity or  sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture.
