WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Chicago By-Product Coke Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, heretofore gave its mortgage in the form of an indenture (hereinafter called the "Original Mortgage") to Illinois Merchants Trust Company, as trustee, under date of the second day of January, 1926; and

WHEREAS, by virtue of all the things done as in the next preceding paragraph recited, the Company has become the successor corporation under the Original Mortgage, subject to all the terms, conditions and restrictions thereof; and

WHEREAS, all bonds which have heretofore been issued and outstanding under the Mortgage have been retired and cancelled, except that as of February 1, 2003, there were bonds of the following series outstanding in the aggregate principal amounts indicated below:

WHEREAS, the Company has duly determined to create an additional series of its bonds to be issued under the Mortgage as supplemented designated "The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company First and Refunding Mortgage Multi-Modal Bonds, Series LL" (herein sometimes referred to as "bonds of Series LL") and to issue an aggregate of $50,000,000 principal amount of said bonds all of which bonds shall be fully registered without coupons; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to reserve the right to amend the Mortgage without any consent or other action by holders of the bonds of Series LL or any subsequent series, to provide that the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the bondholders may be modified with the consent of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the bonds adversely affected; provided, however, that no modification shall (1) extend the time, or reduce the amount, of any payment on any bond, without the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, (2) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Mortgage, without the consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding, or (3) reduce the above percentage of the aggregate principal amount of bonds the holders of which are required to approve any such modification without the consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding; and

Dollars ($__________), and to pay interest on the balance of said principal sum from time to time remaining unpaid until payment of said principal amount has been made or duly provided for, at the rates and on the dates determined as described herein and in the Supplemental Indenture (as hereinafter defined), unless this Bond is authenticated on a date to which interest has been paid, in which event this Bond shall bear interest from such date, or unless no interest has been paid on this Bond, in which event this Bond shall bear interest from February 1, 2003, as described in the Supplemental Indenture payable at or before 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the dates determined as described herein and in the Supplemental Indenture, until payment in full of such principal sum. Interest shall also accrue on any overdue principal, premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest shall be legally enforceable) on any overdue installment of interest until paid at the same rate of interest borne by this Bond for the applicable period that such principal, premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, is overdue. The interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Mortgage, be paid to the person who is the registered owner of this Bond at the close of business on the applicable Record Date (as hereinafter defined) next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Bond shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal corporate office or agency of the Company in Chicago, Illinois.

This Bond is one of the First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds of the Company, all issued and to be issued in series, from time to time, under and in accordance with and, irrespective of the time of issue or of the series in which issued or the designation thereof, equally secured by an Indenture, dated the second day of January, 1926, executed by Chicago By-Product Coke Company, a Delaware corporation, to Illinois Merchants Trust Company, as trustee, and recorded on January 19, 1926, as Document No. 9154395 in Book 22219 of Records, at page 283, in the Recorder's Office of Cook County, Illinois, which Indenture was assumed by the Company as a successor corporation, as defined therein, by an indenture, dated the first day of March, 1928, executed by the Company to said trustee, and recorded on April 7, 1928, as Document No. 9980547 in Book 25701 of Records, at page 599, in the Recorder's Office of Cook County, Illinois, and has heretofore been, and from time to time hereafter may be, amended and supplemented by indentures supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 1, 2003 relating to the hereinafter described Series LL Bonds (the "Supplemental Indenture"). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Supplemental Indenture. The word "Mortgage", as used in this Bond, shall mean said Indenture, as amended and supplemented from time to time by indentures supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture. The word "Company", as used in this Bond, shall be construed to include any successor corporation, as defined in the Mortgage. The word "Trustee", as used in this Bond, shall be construed to mean and include U.S. Bank National Association (successor to Illinois Merchants Trust Company), as trustee under the Mortgage, and any successor trustee thereunder. Reference is hereby made to the Mortgage and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged (except that certain parcels described in the Mortgage and in said supplemental indentures have been released from the lien of the Mortgage pursuant to the terms thereof), the nature and extent of the security and the terms and conditions governing the issuance and security of the bonds issued or to be issued under the Mortgage. As provided in the Mortgage, the bonds may be for various principal sums, are issuable in series, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as provided therein. This Bond is one of the series of such First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds designated as "The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company First and Refunding Mortgage Multi-Modal Bonds, Series LL", hereinafter called the "Series LL Bonds".

The Series LL Bonds shall initially bear interest at the Term Rate of 3.05% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months) to and including January 31, 2008. During the initial Term Rate Period, interest on the Series LL Bonds will be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date commencing August 1, 2003. Thereafter, in the manner provided and subject to the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, the term of the Series LL Bonds will be divided into consecutive Interest Rate Modes during each of which the Series LL Bonds shall bear interest at either a Daily Rate, a Weekly Rate, a Quarterly Rate, a Semiannual Rate, a Term Rate, a Flexible Rate or an Auction Rate, each of which shall be determined in the manner provided in the Supplemental Indenture. In no event shall the interest rate on any Series LL Bond be greater than the Maximum Rate or greater than the Maximum Auction Rate (each as hereinafter defined) during an Auction Rate Mode.

Interest shall be computed (1) during a Semiannual Rate Mode or in the case of a Term Rate Period, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and (2) during any other Interest Rate Mode, on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as appropriate, and the actual number of days elapsed.

As provided in the Supplemental Indenture, the Company may from time to time elect to exercise its option to designate an Interest Rate Mode of a type other than the then current Interest Rate Mode. The Company shall evidence such election by notifying the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent of such election not later than the time specified in the Supplemental Indenture for the respective Interest Rate Mode selected. Such notice shall (i) specify the effective date of the adjustment to the Interest Rate Mode so designated, and (ii) with respect to certain adjustments to the Interest Rate Mode described in the Supplemental Indenture, be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such adjustment in the Interest Rate Mode is authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and that such adjustment will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income. Upon any such designation of an Interest Rate Mode by the Company, such Interest Rate Mode shall continue as so designated until such time as the Company shall elect to again designate an Interest Rate Mode except as provided in the Supplemental Indenture and except that the final interest rate period shall terminate on the day immediately preceding February 1, 2033.

The term "Interest Payment Date" means (i) during a Daily Rate Mode or Weekly Rate Mode, the first Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) during a Quarterly Rate Mode, the first Business Day of the third calendar month following the effective date of such Quarterly Rate Mode, and the first Business Day of each third month thereafter, (iii) during a Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Period, the first day of the sixth calendar month following the effective date of such Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Period, as applicable, and the first day of each successive sixth calendar month thereafter, (iv) with respect to any Flexible Segment, the Business Day next succeeding the last day thereof and (v) with respect to each particular Interest Rate Mode, the day next succeeding the last day thereof.

The term "Record Date" means with respect to any Interest Payment Date during a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or Quarterly Rate Mode, or with respect to a Flexible Segment, the Business Day next preceding such Interest Payment Date and, with respect to any Interest Payment Date during a Semiannual Rate Mode or a Term Rate Period, the fifteenth day of the calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

The term "Maximum Auction Rate" means the lesser of (i) the product of 1.75 multiplied by the Auction Rate (as defined in Exhibit A to the Revenue Bond Indenture) in effect on such date of determination or (ii) the Maximum Rate.

The term "Maximum Rate" means the lesser of 14% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law.

The Series LL Bonds shall be deliverable in the form of registered Bonds without coupons in the denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof during any Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Mode; in the denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple thereof during any Daily, Weekly or Quarterly Rate Mode; in the denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess of $100,000 during any Flexible Rate Mode; and in the denominations of $25,000 and any integral multiple thereof during any Auction Rate Mode.

The Company has appointed a Remarketing Agent pursuant to the terms of the Revenue Bond Indenture. The Company may remove or replace the Remarketing Agent. The determination of each Daily Rate, Weekly Rate, Quarterly Rate, Semiannual Rate and Term Rate and each Flexible Segment and Flexible Rate by the Remarketing Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the Trustee, the Company and the owners of the Series LL Bonds. The Revenue Bond Trustee shall provide the Trustee with notice of each Daily Rate, Weekly Rate, Quarterly Rate, Semiannual Rate and Term Rate and each Flexible Segment and Flexible Rate as provided in the Supplemental Indenture.

As more fully described in the Supplemental Indenture, the Company reserves the right, without any consent or other action by holders of the Series LL Bonds or the bonds of any subsequent series, to amend the Mortgage to provide that the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the bondholders may be modified with the consent of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the bonds adversely affected; provided, however, that no modification shall (1) extend the time, or reduce the amount, of any payment on any bond, without the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, (2) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Mortgage, without the consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding, or (3) reduce the above percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders of which are required to approve any such modification without the consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding.

On any Business Day during an Auction Rate Mode, a Daily Rate Mode, a Weekly Rate Mode or a Quarterly Rate Mode, and on the day next succeeding the last day of each such Interest Rate Mode, the Series LL Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

On the day next succeeding the last day of any Flexible Segment with respect to any Series LL Bond (or portion of the principal amount thereof, in the event Revenue Bonds of different Flexible Segments shall apply to the same Series LL Bond), such bond (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall be subject to optional redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

On the day next succeeding the last day of any Semiannual Rate Period, the Series LL Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

During any Term Rate Period, and on the day next succeeding the last day of such Term Rate Period, the Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption by the Company, during the periods specified below, in whole at any time or in part from time to time on any Interest Payment Date, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) hereinafter indicated plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date:

Length of Term Rate Period (expressed in years)	Redemption Prices
Greater than 17	after 10 years at 102%, declining by 1% annually to 100%
Less than or equal to 17 and greater than 10	after 5 years at 102%, declining by 1% annually to 100%
Less than or equal to 10 and greater than 8	after 5 years at 101-1/2%, declining annually by 1% to 100-1/2% and then by 1/2 of 1% to 100%
Less than or equal to 8 and greater than 6	after 3 years at 101-1/2%, declining annually by 1% to 100-1/2 and then by 1/2 of 1% to 100%
Less than or equal to 6 and greater than 4	after 2 years at 101%, declining by 1/2 of 1% annually to 100%
Less than or equal to 4 and greater than 3	after 2 years at 100-1/2%, declining by 1/2 of 1% annually to 100%
Less than or equal to 3	only on the day next succeeding the last day of the period at 100%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series LL Bonds shall not be redeemable pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph during the initial Term Rate Period ending February 1, 2008.

With respect to any Term Rate Period (other than the initial Term Rate period), the Company may specify in the notice required by the Supplemental Indenture redemption prices and periods other than those set forth above; provided, however, that such notice shall be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such changes in redemption prices and periods (i) are authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and (ii) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income.

The Series LL Bonds are subject to optional redemption by the Company, in whole but not in part, at any time, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Supplemental Indenture (relating to unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities imposed upon the Company; changes in the economic availability of raw materials, operating supplies, fuel or other energy sources or supplies or technological or other changes rendering the Project uneconomic; court order or decree preventing operations at the Project or rendering the continuation of the Project's operations economically unfeasible).

All of the outstanding Series LL Bonds may be redeemed at any time by the Company, by the payment of the principal amount thereof and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, without the payment of any premium, in the event of the acquisition by any federal, state or municipal authority of any substantial portion (which shall be not less than one-third as determined by book values) of the income-producing properties of the Company which are subject to the lien of the Mortgage.

All of the outstanding bonds under the Mortgage shall be redeemed by the Company by the payment of the respective applicable redemption price or prices and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, without the payment of any premium, in the event of the acquisition by any federal, state or municipal authority of all or substantially all of the income-producing properties of the Company which are subject to the lien of the Mortgage.

All of the outstanding Series LL Bonds shall be redeemed by the Company not more than sixty (60) days after the Trustee receives written notice from the Revenue Bond Trustee stating that the principal on the Revenue Bonds has been declared to be immediately due and payable as a result of an event of default under the Revenue Bond Indenture (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture). The redemption price for any such redemption shall be 100% of the principal amount of the Series LL Bonds to be redeemed, plus interest thereon accrued to the date fixed for redemption.

Series LL Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption at any time, in whole (or in part as hereinafter provided), at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, in the event that it is finally determined by the Internal Revenue Service or by a court of competent jurisdiction that, as a result of the failure by the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation in that certain Loan Agreement dated as of February 1, 2003 between the Company and the Illinois Finance Development Authority, the interest payable on the Revenue Bonds is includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner thereof, other than an owner who is a "substantial user" of the Project or a "related person" of such substantial user, as provided in Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the applicable regulations thereunder. Any such determination will not be considered final for this purpose unless the Company has been given written notice and, if it so desires, has been afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of any owner of a Revenue Bond, and until the conclusion of any appellate review, if sought. The Series LL Bonds shall be redeemed in whole after such determination unless redemption of a portion of the Revenue Bonds outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Revenue Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption would not be includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner of the Revenue Bonds (other than an owner who is a "substantial user" of the Project or a "related person" of such substantial user within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code), and in such event the Series LL Bonds shall be redeemed in such amount as to accomplish that result.

Notice of any redemption of the Series LL Bonds shall be given by mailing by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, to the holders of all such bonds to be redeemed at their last addresses that shall appear upon the registry book, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Notice of redemption having been duly given, the bonds called for redemption shall become due and payable upon the redemption date and, if the redemption price shall have been deposited with the Trustee, interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after the redemption date, and whenever the redemption price thereof shall have been deposited with the Trustee and notice of redemption shall have been duly given or provision therefore made, such bonds shall no longer be entitled to any lien or benefit of the Mortgage.

In case of certain events of default specified in the Mortgage, the principal of all bonds issued and outstanding thereunder may be declared or may become due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Mortgage.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Mortgage, to or against any incorporator, stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, either directly or through the Company, under any constitution or statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers being released by the holder hereof by the acceptance of this Bond, and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.

This Bond is transferable by the registered holder hereof in person or by a duly authorized attorney at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond, and thereupon a new registered bond or bonds, without coupons, of the same series and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. In the manner provided in the Mortgage, registered Bonds without coupons of this series may, at the option of the registered owner and upon surrender at said office or agency of the Company, be exchanged for registered Bonds without coupons of this series of the same aggregate principal amount of other authorized denominations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Bond may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated except as required to effect assignment to the Revenue Bond Trustee and to any successor trustee.

The Company and the Trustee and any paying agent may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This Bond shall not be entitled to any security or benefit under the Mortgage, and shall not become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until this Bond shall have been authenticated by the execution of the certificate, hereon endorsed, by the Trustee or its successor in trust under the Mortgage.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Bond to be executed in its name by its President, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or a Vice President manually or in facsimile, and has caused its corporate seal manually or in facsimile to be hereto affixed, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or of an Assistant Secretary.

IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED, DECLARED AND AGREED by and between the Company and the Trustee, and its successor or successors in trust, as follows:

ARTICLE I

FIRST AND REFUNDING MORTGAGE MULTI-MODAL BONDS,
SERIES LL

SECTION 1. A new series of bonds of the Company shall be issued under and secured by the Mortgage as supplemented, which shall be designated as the Company's "First and Refunding Mortgage Multi-Modal Bonds, Series LL". The aggregate principal amount of bonds of Series LL which may be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee shall be limited to $50,000,000 (exclusive of bonds authenticated and delivered upon interdenominational or other exchanges and transfers pursuant to Section 3 of Article I hereof and Sections 2, 5, 11 and 12 of Article I of the Original Mortgage and delivered pursuant to Section 3 of Article VI of the Original Mortgage as the same may relate to fully registered bonds). Bonds of Series LL all shall be registered bonds without coupons, and shall be due and payable February 1, 2033. All bonds of Series LL shall bear interest from the date thereof, payable at or before 9:00 o'clock a.m. Chicago time on each Interest Payment Date until the principal thereof shall have become due and payable, at the rates determined as provided in Section 8 of this Article I, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under the applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum, and shall be payable both as to principal and interest, and as to premium, if any, in 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, at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, Illinois.

So long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on the bonds of Series LL, the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be to the person in whose name any bond of Series LL is registered at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date, and such person shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such bond of Series LL subsequent to the Record Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, except as and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such bond of Series LL is registered at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date, which shall not be less than five (5) days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the person in whose name such bond of Series LL is then registered and to the Trustee not less than ten (10) days preceding such subsequent record date.

As used in this Section I, the term "default in the payment of interest" means failure to pay interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date disregarding any period of grace permitted by Article X of the Mortgage.

SECTION 2. Bonds of Series LL may be issued only as registered bonds without coupons (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "registered bonds"), and they shall be substantially in the form hereinbefore recited. They shall be issuable in denominations which shall be multiples of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof during any Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Mode; in the denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple thereof during any Daily, Weekly or Quarterly Rate Mode; in the denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess of $100,00 during any Flexible Rate Mode; and in the denominations of $25,000 and any integral multiple thereof during any Auction Rate Mode and the execution by the Company of any bond of Series LL shall evidence conclusively the due authorization of the denomination of such bond. Each registered bond of Series LL shall be dated as of the date of the Interest Payment Date on which interest was paid on other bonds of said Series next preceding the date of issue of such registered bond, except that (i) so long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest upon the bonds of Series LL, any bond of Series LL issued after the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, shall be dated as of such Interest Payment Date, and (ii) any bond of Series LL issued on an Interest Payment Date on which interest on other bonds of Series LL was paid shall be dated as of the date of issue and (iii) any bond of Series LL issued before the initial Interest Payment Date, shall be dated February 1, 2003, the date of commencement of the first interest period for the bonds of Series LL, unless (i) above is applicable.

The registered owner of any bond of Series LL dated as of an Interest Payment Date as provided in (i) above shall, if the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date and such default shall be continuing, be entitled to exchange such bond for a bond or bonds of Series LL of the same aggregate principal amount dated as of the Interest Payment Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date first mentioned in this sentence, or, if the Company shall default in the payment of interest on the first Interest Payment Date for bonds of Series LL, such owner shall be entitled to exchange such bond for a bond or bonds of Series LL of the same aggregate principal amount dated as of February 1, 2003. If the Trustee shall have knowledge at any time that any registered owner of a bond of Series LL shall be entitled by the provision of the next preceding sentence to exchange such bond, the Trustee shall within thirty (30) days mail to such owner at the address of such owner appearing upon the registry book, a notice informing such owner that such owner has such right of exchange.

SECTION 3. In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, the holder of a registered bond or bonds of Series LL may, at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, surrender such bond or bonds in exchange for a like aggregate principal amount of one or more registered bonds of Series LL of any authorized denomination or denominations.

No charge will be made by the Company to the registered owner of a bond of Series LL for the transfer thereof or for the exchange thereof for bonds of Series LL of other authorized denominations, except, in the case of transfer, a charge sufficient to reimburse the Company for any stamp or other tax or governmental charge required to be paid by the Company or the Trustee.

SECTION 4. All bonds of Series LL shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its President or the Executive Vice President or the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer or a Vice President and shall have affixed thereon the manual or facsimile seal of the Company attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries and be authenticated by the execution by the Trustee of the certificate endorsed on said bonds, and said bonds shall be issued from time to time, as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine, but in accordance with the terms, provisions, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Mortgage and in this Supplemental Indenture. The definitive bonds of Series LL may be issued in typewritten or printed form or otherwise as provided in the Mortgage.

SECTION 5. (a) The bonds of Series LL are subject to optional redemption by the Company, in whole but not in part, at any time, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, if any of the following shall have occurred and if within one hundred and eighty (180) days following said occurrence the Company files written notice with the Illinois Development Finance Authority and the Revenue Bond Trustee and directs that the Revenue Bonds are to be redeemed:

(i) if, in the Company's reasonable judgment, unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities shall, have been imposed upon the Illinois Finance Development Authority or the Company with respect to the Project or the operation thereof, including, without limitation, federal, state or other ad valorem property, income or other taxes, other than ad valorem taxes presently levied upon privately owned property used for the same general purposes as the Project; or

(ii) if changes in the economic availability of raw materials, operating supplies, fuel or other energy sources or supplies, or facilities necessary for the operation of the Project or such technological or other changes shall have occurred which, in the Company's reasonable judgment, render the Project uneconomic for such purposes; or

(iii) any court or administrative body shall enter an order or decree preventing operations at the Project for six consecutive months; or

(iv) any court or administrative agency shall issue an order, decree or regulation the compliance with which would, in the opinion of the Company, render the continuation of the Project's operations economically unfeasible.

(b) On any Business Day during an Auction Rate Mode, a Daily Rate Mode, a Weekly Rate Mode or a Quarterly Rate Mode, and on the day next succeeding the last day of each such Interest Rate Mode, the bonds of Series LL shall be subject to optional redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

On the day next succeeding the last day of any Flexible Segment with respect to any bond of Series LL, such bond of Series LL shall be subject to optional redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

On the day next succeeding the last day of any Semiannual Rate Period, the Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

During any Term Rate Period, and on the day next succeeding the last day of each Term Rate Period, the bonds of Series LL shall be subject to optional redemption by the Company, during the periods specified below, in whole at any time or in part from time to time on any Interest Payment Date, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) hereinafter indicated plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date:

Length of Term Rate Period (expressed in years)	Redemption Prices
greater than 17	after 10 years at 102%, declining by 1% annually to 100%
less than or equal to 17 and greater than 10	after 5 years at 102%, declining by 1% annually to 100%
less than or equal to 10 and greater than 8	after 5 years at 101-1/2%, declining annually by 1% to 100-1/2% and then by 1/2 of 1% to 100%
less than or equal to 8 and greater than 6	after 3 years at 101-1/2%, declining annually by 1% to 100-1/2% and then by 1/2 of 1% to 100%
less than or equal to 6 and greater than 4	after 2 years at 101%, declining by 1/2 of 1% annually to 100%
less than or equal to 4 and greater than 3	after 2 years at 100-1/2%, declining by 1/2 of 1% annually to 100%
less than or equal to 3	only on the day next succeeding the last day of the period at 100%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the bonds of Series LL shall not be redeemable pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph during the initial Term Rate Period ending February 1, 2008.

With respect to any Term Rate Period (other than the initial Term Rate Period), the Company may specify in the notice required by Section 8(e)(ii) of this Article I redemption prices and periods other than those set forth above; provided, however, that such notice shall be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such changes in redemption prices and periods (i) are authorized or permitted by the Act and the Revenue Bond Indenture and (ii) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income.

(c) All of the outstanding bonds of Series LL may be redeemed at any time by the Company, by the payment of the principal amount thereof and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, without the payment of any premium, in the event of the acquisition by any federal, state or municipal authority of any substantial portion (which shall be not less than one-third as determined by book values) of the income-producing properties of the Company which are subject to the lien of the Mortgage.

(d) When interest on the bonds of Series LL is payable at an Auction Rate, the bonds of Series LL may be redeemed in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on the date next succeeding the last day of any Auction Period.

(e) The bonds of Series LL are subject to mandatory redemption at any time, in whole (or in part, as hereinafter provided), at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, in the event that it is finally determined by the Internal Revenue Service or by a court of competent jurisdiction that, as a result of the failure by the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation in the Agreement, the interest payable on the Revenue Bonds is includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner thereof, other than an owner who is a "substantial user" of the Project or a "related person" of such substantial user, as provided in Section 147(a) of the Code, and the applicable regulations thereunder. For purposes of this paragraph (e), the "owner" of a Revenue Bond includes a "Beneficial Owner" as defined in the Revenue Bond Indenture. Any such determination will not be considered final for this purpose unless the Company has been given written notice and, if it so desires, has been afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of any owner of a Revenue Bond, and until the conclusion of any appellate review, if sought. The bonds of Series LL shall be redeemed in whole after such determination unless redemption of a portion of the Revenue Bonds outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Revenue Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption would not be includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner of the Revenue Bonds (other than an owner who is a "substantial user" of the Project or a "related person" of such substantial user within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code) and in such event the bonds of Series LL shall be redeemed (in the principal amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) in such amount as to accomplish that result. Any redemption pursuant to this subparagraph (e) shall be on any date within one hundred and eighty (180) days from the time of such final determination.

(f) All of the outstanding bonds of Series LL shall be redeemed by the Company not more than sixty (60) days after the Trustee receives written notice from the Revenue Bond Trustee stating that the principal on the Revenue Bonds has been declared to be immediately due and payable as a result of an event of default under the Revenue Bond Indenture. The redemption price for any such redemption shall be 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of Series LL to be redeemed, plus interest thereon accrued to the date fixed for redemption.

SECTION 6. If bonds of Series LL are to be redeemed as provided in Section 5 of this Article I, notice of redemption shall be mailed by or on behalf of the Company, postage prepaid, at least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to such date of redemption, to the registered owners of all bonds of Series LL to be so redeemed, at their respective addresses appearing upon the registry book. Any notice which is mailed as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been properly and sufficiently given on the date of such mailing, whether or not the holder receives the notice. In any case, failure to give due notice by mail, or any defect in the notice, to the registered owners of any bonds of Series LL designated for redemption as a whole or in part, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other bond of Series LL. In case of any redemption of bonds of Series LL by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage or any indenture supplemental thereto, notice of redemption shall be given in a similar manner by the Trustee.

Except as provided above, the provisions of Article VI of the Mortgage shall in all respects apply to any such redemption.

SECTION 7. Bonds of Series LL shall bear the following legend: "This Bond may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated except as required to effect assignment to the Revenue Bond Trustee and to any successor trustee."

SECTION 8. The bonds of Series LL shall initially bear interest at the Term Rate at 3.05% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months) to and including January 31, 2008. During the initial Term Rate Period, interest the bonds of Series LL shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date commencing August 1, 2003. Thereafter, in the manner hereinafter provided, the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at the Daily Rate, the Weekly Rate, the Quarterly Rate, the Flexible Rate, the Semiannual Rate, the Term Rate or the Auction Rate, but in no event shall the bonds of Series LL be in more than one Interest Rate Mode at any one time; provided that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the bonds of Series LL shall at all times bear interest at the rate or rates from time to time born by the Revenue Bonds.

(a) (i) For each Daily Rate Period, the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at the applicable Daily Rate, which in each case shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the commencement of such Daily Rate Period. The Daily Rate for each Daily Rate Period shall be the lowest rate which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Revenue Bonds on the effective date of such Daily Rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that with respect to any day which is not a Business Day and any other day for which the Remarketing Agent shall not have determined a Daily Rate, the Daily Rate for such day shall be the same as the Daily Rate for the immediately preceding day. In no event shall the Daily Rate exceed the Maximum Rate. The Revenue Bond Trustee shall provide the Trustee with written notice on a monthly basis of each Daily Rate, as determined.

(ii) At any time, the Company, by written direction to the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, may elect that the Revenue Bonds shall bear interest at a Daily Rate. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of such adjustment to a Daily Rate Mode which shall be (1) a day not earlier than the 25th day following the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by the Revenue Bond Trustee of such direction, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Semiannual Rate Mode or a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Period, as applicable, and (3) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Rate Mode, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Mode as determined in accordance with Section 8(f)(iii) hereof; and (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such adjustment (1) is authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income. During each Daily Rate Mode commencing on a date so specified or determined (provided that the opinion of Bond Counsel described in clause (B) above, if required, is reaffirmed as of such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the next succeeding Interest Rate Mode, the interest rate borne by the bonds of Series LL shall be a Daily Rate determined as provided above.

(b) (i) For each Weekly Rate Period, the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at the applicable Weekly Rate, which, in each case, shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the commencement of the initial Weekly Rate Period of a Weekly Rate Mode and thereafter no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first day of each succeeding Weekly Rate Period to which it relates. The Weekly Rate for each Weekly Rate Period shall be the lowest rate which, in the judgement of the Remarketing Agent, would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Revenue Bonds on the effective date of such Weekly Rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that if the Remarketing Agent shall not have determined a Weekly Rate for any Weekly Rate Period, the Weekly Rate for such Weekly Rate Period shall be the same as the Weekly Rate for the immediately preceding Weekly Rate Period. In no event shall the Weekly Rate exceed the Maximum Rate. The Revenue Bond Trustee shall provide the Trustee with written notice on a monthly basis of each Weekly Rate, as determined.

(ii) At any time, the Company, by written direction to the Illinois Finance Development Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, may elect that the Revenue Bonds shall bear interest at a Weekly Rate. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of such adjustment to a Weekly Rate Mode which shall be (1) a day not earlier than the 25th day following the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by the Trustee of such direction, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Semiannual Rate Mode or a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Period, as applicable, and (3) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Rate Mode, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Mode as determined in accordance with Section 8(f) hereof; and (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such adjustment (1) is authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income. During each Weekly Rate Mode commencing on a date so specified or determined (provided that the opinion of Bond Counsel described in clause (B) above, if required, is reaffirmed as of such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the next succeeding Interest Rate Mode, the interest rate borne by the bonds of Series LL shall be a Weekly Rate determined as provided above.

(c) (i) For each Quarterly Rate Period, the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at the applicable Quarterly Rate, which in each case shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the commencement of the Quarterly Rate Period to which it relates. The Quarterly Rate for each Quarterly Rate Period shall be the lowest rate which, in the judgement of the Remarketing Agent, would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Revenue Bonds on the effective date of such Quarterly Rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that if, for any reason, a Quarterly Rate for any Quarterly Rate Period shall not be determined or be effective, the Interest Rate Mode for the bonds of Series LL shall automatically convert to a Weekly Rate Mode. If a Weekly Rate for the first day of such Weekly Rate Mode is not determined as provided in Section 8(b)(i) hereof, the Weekly Rate for the first day of such Weekly Rate Mode shall be 100% of the BMA Municipal Index. In no event shall any Quarterly Rate be greater than the Maximum Rate. The Revenue Bond Trustee shall provide the Trustee with prompt written notice of each Quarterly Rate, as determined.

(ii) At any time, the Company, by written direction to the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, may elect that the Revenue Bonds shall bear interest at a Quarterly Rate. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of such adjustment to a Quarterly Rate Mode which shall be (1) a day not earlier than the 25th day following the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by the Revenue Bond Trustee of such direction, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Semiannual Rate Mode or a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Period, as applicable, and (3) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Rate Mode, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Mode as determined in accordance with Section 8(f)(iii) hereof; and (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such adjustment (1) is authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income. During each Quarterly Rate Mode commencing on a date so specified or determined (provided that the opinion of Bond Counsel described in clause (B) above, if required, is reaffirmed as of such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the next succeeding Interest Rate Mode, the interest rate borne by the bonds of Series LL shall be a Quarterly Rate determined as provided above.

(d) (i) For each Semiannual Rate Period, the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at the applicable Semiannual Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on a Business Day selected by it, but not more than 15 days prior to the first day of such Semiannual Rate Period. The Semiannual Rate for each Semiannual Rate Period shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on such date, and filed on such date with the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Company, by written notice or by telephone promptly confirmed by telecopy or other writing, as being the lowest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Revenue Bonds on the effective date of such Semiannual Rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that if, for any reason, a Semiannual Rate for any Semiannual Rate Period shall not be determined or effective, the Interest Rate Mode for the bonds of Series LL shall automatically convert to a Weekly Rate Mode. If a Weekly Rate for the first day of such Weekly Rate Mode is not determined as provided in Section 8(b)(i) hereof, the Weekly Rate for the first day of such Weekly Rate Mode shall be 100% of the BMA Municipal Index. In no event shall any Semiannual Rate be greater than the Maximum Rate. The Revenue Bond Trustee shall provide the Trustee with prompt written notice of each Semiannual Rate, as determined.

(ii) At any time, the Company, by written direction to the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, may elect that the Revenue Bonds shall bear interest at a Semiannual Rate. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of such adjustment to a Semiannual Rate Mode (which shall be (1) a day not earlier than the 25th day following the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by the Revenue Bond Trustee of such direction, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Rate Mode, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Mode as determined in accordance with Section 8(f)(iii) hereof and (3) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Term Rate Period and (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such adjustment (1) is authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income.

(e) (i) For each Term Rate Period, the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at the Term Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on a Business Day selected by it, but not more than 15 days prior to the first day of such Term Rate Period. The Term Rate shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on such date, and filed on such date with the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Company, by written notice or by telephone promptly confirmed by telecopy or other writing, as being the lowest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Revenue Bonds on the effective date of such Term Rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that if, for any reason, a Term Rate for any Term Rate Period shall not be determined or effective, the Interest Rate Mode for the bonds of Series LL shall automatically convert to a Weekly Rate Mode. If a Weekly Rate for the first day of such Weekly Rate Mode is not determined as provided in Section 8(b)(i) hereof, the Weekly Rate for the first day of such Weekly Rate Mode shall be 100% of the BMA Municipal Index. The Revenue Bond Trustee shall provide promptly the Trustee with written notice of each Term Rate, as determined. In no event shall any Term Rate be greater than the Maximum Rate.

(ii) At any time, the Company, by written direction to the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, may elect that the Revenue Bonds shall bear, or continue to bear, interest at a Term Rate, and if it shall so elect, shall determine the duration of the Term Rate Period during which the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at such Term Rate. As a part of such election, the Company also may determine that the initial Term Rate Period shall be followed by successive Term Rate Periods and, if the Company so elects, shall specify the duration of each such successive Term Rate Period as provided in this subparagraph (ii). Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of each Term Rate Period (which shall be (1) a day not earlier than the 25th day following the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by the Revenue Bond Trustee of such direction, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Rate Mode, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Mode as determined in accordance with Section 8(f)(iii) of this Article I and (3) in the case of an adjustment from a Semiannual Rate Mode or a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Period, as appropriate); (B) specify the last day of such Term Rate Period or, if successive Term Rate Periods shall have been designated, the last day of each such Term Rate Period (which shall be for each Term Rate Period either the day immediately preceding the Maturity Date or the day immediately preceding the first day of the twelfth (or any integral multiple of 12) succeeding calendar month after the effective date thereof); and (C) unless the adjustment is from a Term Rate Period of equal duration, be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such adjustment (1) is authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income. If the Company shall designate successive Term Rate Periods, but shall not, with respect to the second or any subsequent Term Rate Period, specify any of the information described in clause (A) above, the Company, by written direction to the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, given not later than the fifth Business Day preceding the 25th day prior to the first day of such successive Term Rate Period, may specify any of such information not previously specified with respect to such Term Rate Period which information shall be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel as described above, if required. During the Term Rate Period commencing and ending on the dates so determined and during each successive Term Rate Period, if any, the interest rate borne by the bonds of Series LL shall be a Term Rate (provided that the opinion of Bond Counsel described in clause (C) above, if required, is reaffirmed as of such date of commencement). If, by the fifth Business Day preceding the 24th day prior to the last day of any Term Rate Period, the Revenue Bond Trustee shall not have received notice of the Company's election that, during the next succeeding Interest Rate Mode, the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at a Daily Rate, a Weekly Rate, a Quarterly Rate, a Flexible Rate, a Semiannual Rate or a Term Rate, the next succeeding Interest Rate Mode shall be a Term Rate Period of the same duration as the immediately preceding Term Rate Period; provided, however, that if the last day of any successive Term Rate Period would end after the day prior to the Maturity Date, the next succeeding Interest Rate Mode shall be a Term Rate Period ending on the day prior to the Maturity Date.

(f) (i) During each Flexible Rate Mode, each bond of Series LL (or portion of the principal amount thereof, in the event Revenue Bonds of different Flexible Segments shall apply to the same bond of Series LL) shall bear interest during each Flexible Segment for a related Revenue Bond at the Flexible Rate for such Revenue Bond as described herein. Different Flexible Segments may apply to different Revenue Bonds at any time and from time to time. Revenue Bonds of different Flexible Segments may relate to the same bond of Series LL at any time and from time to time. The Flexible Segment for each Revenue Bond shall be a period of at least one day and not more than 270 days ending on a day that immediately precedes a Business Day, determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the period which, together with all such other Flexible Segments for all Revenue Bonds then outstanding, will result in the lowest overall interest expense on the Revenue Bonds over the next succeeding 270 days. The Flexible Rate for each Flexible Segment for each Revenue Bond shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent no later than the first day of such Flexible Segment (and in time to enable the Remarketing Agent to give to the Revenue Bond Trustee the notice required by Section 404(c) of the Revenue Bond Indenture) to be the lowest interest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Revenue Bonds on the effective date of such rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. If a Flexible Segment or a Flexible Rate for a Flexible Segment is not determined or effective, the Flexible Segment for such Revenue Bond shall be a Flexible Segment of one day, and the interest rate for such Flexible Segment of one day shall be 100% of the BMA Municipal Index. In no event shall the Flexible Rate for any Flexible Segment exceed the Maximum Rate. The Revenue Bond Trustee shall provide the Trustee with facsimile or telephonic notice of each Flexible Segment and Flexible Rate.

(ii) At any time, the Company, by written direction to the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, may elect that the Revenue Bonds shall bear interest at Flexible Rates. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of the Flexible Rate Mode during which the bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at Flexible Rates which shall be (1) a Business Day not earlier than the 25th day following the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by the Trustee of such direction, and (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Semiannual Rate Mode or a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Semiannual Rate Mode or Term Rate Period, as applicable; and (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such adjustment (1) is authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income. During each Flexible Rate Mode commencing on the date so specified (provided that the opinion of Bond Counsel described in clause (B) above, if required, is reaffirmed as of such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the next succeeding Interest Rate Mode, each bond of Series LL shall bear interest at a Flexible Rate during each Flexible Segment for such bond of Series LL.

(iii) As a condition precedent to the election during a Flexible Rate Mode to adjust to a different Interest Rate Mode for the Revenue Bonds pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii), (b)(ii), (c)(ii), (d)(ii), (e)(ii) or (g)(ii) of this Article I, the Remarketing Agent shall determine Flexible Segments of such duration that, as soon as possible, all Flexible Segments shall end on the same date, not less than the 24th day following the fifth Business Day after the receipt by the Revenue Bond Trustee of the direction of the Company effecting such election. The date on which all Flexible Segments so determined shall end shall be the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Mode and the day next succeeding such date shall be the effective date of the Daily Rate Mode, the Weekly Rate Mode, the Quarterly Rate Mode, the Semiannual Rate Mode or the Term Rate Period elected by the Company.

(g) (i) The Auction Rate for an Auction Period commencing on the effective date of a change to the Auction Rate shall be determined by the Market Agent before the effective date, and shall be the lowest rate which, in the judgment of the Market Agent, is necessary to enable the bonds of Series LL to be remarketed at the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, on the effective date. The bonds of Series LL shall bear interest at Auction Rates established for 35-day Auction Periods unless the Company changes the length of the Auction Period pursuant to Section 203(f)(i) of the Revenue Bond Indenture. Thereafter, the Auction Rate to be applicable to the Auction Rate Securities during each Auction Period shall be determined by the Auction Agent and notice thereof shall be given pursuant to Section 203(f)(i) of the Revenue Bond Indenture. Such determination, and subsequent Auction Rates determined in accordance with the Auction Procedures, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Trustee, the Company and the owners of the bonds of Series LL to which such rate will be applicable. In no event shall the Auction Rate exceed the Maximum Auction Rate.

(ii) At any time, the Company, by written notice to the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, may elect that the Bonds shall bear interest at an Auction Rate. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of such adjustment to an Auction Rate Mode (which shall be (1) a day not earlier than the 25^th day following the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by the Revenue Bond Trustee of such direction, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Semiannual Rate Mode or a Term Rate Mode, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Semiannual Rate Period or Term Rate Period, as applicable, and (3) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Rate Mode, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Mode as determined in accordance with Section 8(f)(iii); and (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such adjustment (1) is authorized or permitted by the Revenue Bond Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Revenue Bonds from federal gross income. During each Auction Rate Mode commencing on the date so specified or determined (provided that the opinion of Bond Counsel described in clause (B) above, if required, is reaffirmed as of such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the next succeeding Interest Rate Mode, each bond of Series LL shall bear interest at an Auction Rate as provided above.

(h) The determination of each Daily Rate, Weekly Rate, Quarterly Rate, Semiannual Rate and Term Rate and each Flexible Segment and Flexible Rate by the Remarketing Agent, and the determination of each Auction Rate by the Auction Agent, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Trustee, the Company and the owners of the bonds of Series LL.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may rescind any election by it to adjust to or continue an Interest Rate Mode pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii), (b)(ii), (c)(ii), (d)(ii), (e)(ii) or (f)(ii) of this Article I prior to the effective date of such adjustment or continuation by written notice thereof to the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Revenue Bond Trustee and the Remarketing Agent prior to such effective date. If the Revenue Bond Trustee receives notice of such rescission prior to the time the Revenue Bond Trustee has given notice to the owners of the Revenue Bonds pursuant to Section 203(a)(iii), (b)(iii), (c)(iii), (d)(iii), (e)(iii) or (f)(iii) of the Revenue Bond Indenture, then such notice of adjustment or continuation shall be of no force and effect. If the Revenue Bond Trustee receives notice of such rescission after the Revenue Bond Trustee has given notice to the owners of the Revenue Bonds pursuant to Section 203(a)(iii), (b)(iii), (c)(iii), (d)(iii), (e)(iii) or (f)(iii) of the Revenue Bond Indenture, then the Interest Rate Mode for the bonds of Series LL shall automatically adjust to a Weekly Rate Mode. In the event that an attempted adjustment from one Interest Rate Mode to another Interest Rate Mode as herein provided does not become effective, the Interest Rate Mode for the bonds of Series LL shall automatically adjust to a Weekly Rate Mode. If a Weekly Rate for the first week of any such Weekly Rate Mode is not determined as provided in Section 8(b)(i) of this Article I, the Weekly Rate for the first week of such Weekly Rate Mode shall be 100% of the BMA Municipal Index. No opinion of Bond Counsel shall be required in connection with any automatic adjustment to a Weekly Rate Mode as in this Section 8(i) provided.
