The bonds of the 2029 Series and the 2049 Series shall be dated August 30, 2019, except that each bond issued on or after the respective first payment of interest thereon shall be dated as of the date of the interest payment date thereof to which interest shall have been paid on the bonds of such series next preceding the date of issue, unless issued on an interest payment date to which interest shall have been so paid, in which event such bonds shall be dated as of the date of issue; provided, however, that bonds issued on or after February 1 and before the next succeeding February 15 or on or after August 1 and before the next succeeding August 15 shall be dated the next succeeding interest payment date if interest shall have been paid to such date. The bonds of the 2034 Series and the 2059 Series shall be dated October 30, 2019, except that each bond issued on or after the respective first payment of interest thereon shall be dated as of the date of the interest payment date thereof to which interest shall have been paid on the bonds of such series next preceding the date of issue, unless issued on an interest payment date to which interest shall have been so paid, in which event such bonds shall be dated as of the date of issue; provided, however, that bonds issued on or after April 1 and before the next succeeding April 15 or on or after October 1 and before the next succeeding October 15 shall be dated the next succeeding interest payment date if interest shall have been paid to such date.

- 23 -

provided, however, if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such interest payment date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name each such bond is registered on the record date fixed, in advance, by the Company for the payment of such defaulted interest. Interest will accrue on overdue interest installments at the rate of (i) 2.60% per annum, with respect to the bonds of the 2029 Series, (ii) 2.80% per annum, with respect to the bonds of the 2034 Series, (iii) 3.30% per annum, with respect to the bonds of the 2049 Series, and (iv) 3.40% per annum, with respect to the bonds of the 2059 Series.

The principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the bonds of this Supplemental Indenture shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, or, at the option of the registered owner, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York. Any installment of interest on the bonds of this Supplemental Indenture may, at the Company’s option, be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of the person entitled thereto to the address of such person as it appears on the registration books. The bonds of this Supplemental Indenture shall be registrable, transferable and exchangeable in the manner provided in Sections 4.08 and 4.09 of the Indenture, at either of such offices or agencies.

Section 4. The bonds of this Supplemental Indenture, upon the mailing of notice and in the manner provided in Section 7.01 of the Indenture (except that no published notice shall be required for the bonds of this Supplemental Indenture) and with the effect provided in Section 7.02 thereof, shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of this Supplemental Indenture to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest of the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption plus the Make-Whole Amount applicable thereto, as calculated by the Company. “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any bond of this Supplemental Indenture, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such bond of this Supplemental Indenture over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any bond of this Supplemental Indenture, the principal of such bond of this Supplemental Indenture that is to be redeemed.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any bond of this Supplemental Indenture, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the bond of this Supplemental Indenture is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

- 24 -

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any bond of this Supplemental Indenture, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable bond.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any bond of this Supplemental Indenture, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable bond.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to the nearest two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any bond of this Supplemental Indenture, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due

- 25 -

date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the bond of this Supplemental Indenture, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any bond of this Supplemental Indenture, the date on which such Called Principal is to be redeemed.

Section 5. No sinking fund is to be provided for the bonds of this Supplemental Indenture.
