      FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of October 2, 1998, between BANK
ONE CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware ("ONE"), having its principal offices at One First National
Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60670 and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, a banking

as trustee (the "Trustee").

      WHEREAS, BANC ONE CORPORATION ("BANC ONE") has heretofore executed and
delivered to the Trustee an Indenture, dated as of March 3, 1997 (the
"Indenture"), providing for the issuance from time to time of Subordinated Debt
Securities (herein and therein called the "Securities"); and

      WHEREAS, effective as of October 2, 1998, BANC ONE merged with and into
ONE, a wholly owned subsidiary of BANC ONE; and

      WHEREAS, Section 10.1 of the Indenture provides for the execution of an
indenture supplemental to the Indenture, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, to
evidence the succession of any successor corporation to BANC ONE under the
Indenture and the assumption of such successor corporation of the covenants of
BANC ONE in the Indenture and in the Securities pursuant to such Indenture; and

      WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a
valid agreement of ONE, as the successor corporation to BANC ONE, under the
Indenture, in accordance with its terms, have been done.

      NOW, THEREFORE, ONE and the Trustee hereby agree as follows:

      1. From and after the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, ONE shall
for all purposes be deemed to be the "Company", as such term is defined in the
Indenture and the Securities, as if ONE was originally so named in the Indenture
and the Securities, and, as such, ONE hereby expressly assumes, from and after
the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, the due and punctual payment of
the principal

of, premium, if any, and interest on all of the Securities and the performance
of every covenant of the Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental
Indenture, on the part of the ONE to be performed or observed.

      2. All provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to
be incorporated in, and made a part of, the Indenture; and the Indenture, as
supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, shall be read, taken and
construed as one and the same instrument.

      3. The Trustee accepts the trusts created by the Indenture, as
supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, and agrees to perform the
same upon the terms and conditions in the Indenture, as supplemented by this
First Supplemental Indenture.

      4. The recitals contained in this First Supplemental Indenture shall be
taken as statements of ONE, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture.

      5. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

      6. This First Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

      7. This First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

                                      -2-
