Depositary; and
(ii) if any Preferred Securities are held in non book-entry

cancelled and a Debenture, registered in the name of the holder of the
Preferred Security Certificate or the transferee of the holder of such
Preferred Security Certificate, as the case may be, with an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred
Security Certificate cancelled, will be executed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee for authentication and delivery in accordance with

that were presented by the Institutional Trustee to the Trustee will be

SECTION 2.5. Interest.
--------
(a) Each Debenture will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
8.000% (the "Interest Rate") from September 20, 1999 until the principal thereof
-------------
becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal at the Interest Rate and
(to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law) on any overdue installment of interest at the Interest Rate, compounded
quarterly, payable (subject to the provisions of Article Four) quarterly in
arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year
commencing on November 15, 1999 (each such day, an "Interest Payment Date"), to
---------------------
the Person in whose name such Debenture or any predecessor Debenture is
registered, at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest installment, which, in respect of any Debentures of which the
Institutional Trustee is the Holder or in the case of a Global Debenture, shall
be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding that Interest
Payment Date (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
5
if the Debentures are no longer in book-entry only form, except if the

be the February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 prior to the applicable
Interest Payment Date.

---------------
including, September 20, 1999, and ending on, but excluding, the first Interest
Payment Date, and each successive period beginning on, and including, an
Interest Payment Date and ending on, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date. The amount of interest payable for any Interest Period will be
computed for any full quarterly Interest Period on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full quarterly
Interest Period for which interest is computed, interest will be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 90-day quarter.
(b) In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day,
then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next
succeeding day which is a Business Day, in each case with the same force and
effect as if made on such date.

Institutional Trustee is the Holder of any Debentures, and the Trust or the
Institutional Trustee is required to pay any taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed
by the United States, or any other taxing authority, then, in any case, the
Company will pay such additional sums ("Additional Sums") on the Debentures held
---------------
by the Institutional Trustee, as shall be required so that the net amounts
received and retained by the Trust and the Institutional Trustee after paying
such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges will not be less
than the amounts the Trust and the Institutional Trustee would have received had
the Trust and the Institutional Trustee not been subject to such taxes, duties,
assessments or other governmental charges as a result of such Tax Event. The
payment of such Additional Sums will be subject to the provisions of Section
5.04 of the Indenture.
ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.1. Tax Event, Investment Company Event or Capital Treatment Event
--------------------------------------------------------------

If a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment
Event has occurred and is continuing then, notwithstanding Section 3.2(a) but
subject to Section 3.2(c), the Company shall have the right upon not less than
30 days nor more than 60 days notice to the Holders
6
of the Debentures to redeem the Debentures, in whole, but not in part, for cash
within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company
Event or Capital Treatment Event (or, if the approval of the Federal Reserve
Board is then required for such redemption, on such later date as promptly
practicable after such approval is obtained), (the "90 Day Period") at the
-------------
Redemption Price.
SECTION 3.2. Optional Redemption by Company.
------------------------------
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(b) and to the provisions
of Article Four of the Indenture, except as otherwise may be specified in this
Third Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the
Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after September 20,
2004, at the Redemption Price. Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph will
be made upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to the Holders
of the Debentures. If the Debentures are only partially redeemed pursuant to
this Section 3.2, the Debentures will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any
--- ----
other method utilized by the Securities Registrar; provided, that if at the time
--------
of redemption the Debentures are registered as a Global Debenture, the
Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal
amount of such Debentures beneficially held by each Holder of Debentures to be
redeemed.
(b) If a partial redemption of the Debentures would result in the
delisting of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust from any national
securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are
then listed, the Company shall not be permitted to effect such partial
redemption and may only redeem the Debentures in whole.
(c) Any redemption of Debentures pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section
3.2 shall be subject to the Company obtaining the prior approval of the Federal
Reserve, if such approval is then required under applicable law, rules,
guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve.
SECTION 3.3. No Sinking Fund.

Subject to Section 3.13 of the Indenture, the Company shall have the
right, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Debentures, to
defer payments of interest by
7
extending the interest payment period of such Debentures for an Extension Period
not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters, during which Extension Period no interest
shall be due and payable; provided that no Extension Period may end on a date
-------- ----
other than an Interest Payment Date or extend beyond the Maturity Date. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, interest, the payment of which has been
deferred because of the extension of the interest payment period pursuant to
this Section 4.1, will bear interest thereon at the Interest Rate compounded
quarterly for each quarter of the Extension Period ("Compounded Interest"). At
-------------------
the end of the Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest accrued and
unpaid on the Debentures, including any Additional Sums and Compounded Interest
(together, "Deferred Interest") that shall be payable to the Holders of the
-----------------
Debentures in whose names the Debentures are registered in the Security Register
on the record date relating to the Interest Payment Date on which the Extension
Period ends. Before the termination of any Extension Period, the Company may
further defer payments of interest by further extending such period, provided
--------
that such period, together with all such further extensions thereof, shall not
exceed 20 consecutive quarters, or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the
Debentures. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all
Deferred Interest then due, the Company may commence a new Extension Period,
subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest shall be due and payable
during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof.
SECTION 4.2. Notice of Extension.
-------------------
(a) If the Institutional Trustee is the only registered Holder of the
Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extension Period, the Company
shall give written notice to the Regular Trustees, the Institutional Trustee and
the Trustee of its selection of such Extension Period at least one Business Day
before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the
Trust Securities issued by the Trust are payable, or (ii) the date the Trust is
required to give notice of the record date, or the date such Distributions are
payable, to the New York Stock Exchange or other applicable self-regulatory
organization or to holders of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust, but
in any event at least one Business Day before such record date.
(b) If the Institutional Trustee is not the only Holder of the
Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extension Period, the Company
shall give the Holders of the Debentures and the Trustee written notice of its
selection of such Extension Period at least 10 Business Days before the earlier
of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (ii) the date the Company
is required to give notice of the record or payment date of such interest
payment to any applicable self-regulatory organization or to Holders of the
Debentures.
(c) The quarter in which any notice is given pursuant to paragraphs
(a) or (b) of this Section 4.2 shall be counted as one of the 20 quarters
permitted in the maximum Extension Period permitted under Section 4.1.

"Indenture"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
---------
reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and
the Holders of the Securities. By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities
are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of
interest and in other respects as provided in the Indenture. This Security is
one of the series designated on the face hereof (the "Debentures") and is
----------
limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in said Third Supplemental
Indenture.
Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event, Investment
Company Event or Capital Treatment Event, the Company shall have the right,
subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, to redeem this
Debenture in whole, but not in part, at the Redemption Price within 90 days
following the occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or Capital
Treatment Event (or, if the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") is then required, on such later
---------------
date as promptly as practicable after such approval is obtained). In addition,
the Company shall have the right to redeem this Debenture, in whole or in part,
at any time on or after September 20, 2004, at the Redemption Price (any of the
foregoing redemptions an "Optional Redemption"). The "Redemption Price" means
------------------- ----------------
an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount together with any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, including Additional Sums and Compounded
Interest, if any, to the date of such redemption. Any redemption pursuant to
this paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
notice. If the Debentures are only partially redeemed by the Company pursuant
to an Optional Redemption, the Debentures will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or
--- ----
by any other method utilized by the Securities Registrar; provided that if, at
the time of redemption, the Debentures are registered as a Global Debenture, the
Depositary shall determine the principal amount of such Debentures beneficially
held by each Debentureholder to be redeemed in accordance with its procedures.
In the event of redemption of this Debenture in part only, a new
Debenture or Debentures for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
14
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any redemption of Debentures by the
Company shall be subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if such
approval is then required under applicable law, rules, guidelines or policies of
the Federal Reserve.
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Debentures may be
declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected
(acting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities; provided, however, that
no such supplemental indenture shall (i) change the Maturity of the principal
of, or the Stated Maturity of any installment of interest (or premium, if any)
on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon
or the rate of interest thereon, or change the obligations of the Company to pay
additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Indenture, or to reduce the
amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and
payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof, or change
the method of calculating interest thereon or the coin or currency in which any
Security (or premium, if any, thereon) or the interest thereon is payable, or
reduce the minimum rate of interest thereon, or impair the right to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity
thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption
Date or Repayment Date); or (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of any series, the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such supplemental indenture or to waive certain defaults
thereunder and their consequences provided for in the Indenture or to reduce the
requirements of the Indenture for a quorum at meetings of Holders of Securities;
or (iii) change the obligations of the Company to maintain certain offices or
agencies as required by the Indenture; or (iv) modify any of the provisions of
the Indenture relating to supplemental indentures or the waiver of defaults,
except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived, without the consent of
the Holders of each Security then outstanding and affected thereby. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series affected
thereby, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Securities of such series, to
waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in
the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture with respect to such
series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series. Any
such consent or waiver by the registered Holder of this Debenture
15
(unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Debenture and of
any Debenture issued in exchange therefor or in place hereof (whether by
registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debenture.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Debenture or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on this Debenture at the time and place and at the
rate and in the money herein prescribed.
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term
of the Debentures, to defer payments of interest by extending the interest
payment period of such Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters (an
"Extension Period"), at the end of which period the Company shall pay all
----------------
interest then accrued and unpaid (together with interest thereon at the Interest
Rate to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law); provided that no Extension Period may end on a day other than an Interest
-------- ----
Payment Date or last beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Before the
termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further extend such
Extension Period, provided that such Extension Period together with all such
further extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarters or extend
beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Upon the termination of any such
Extension Period and the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any
additional amounts then due, the Company may commence a new Extension Period,
subject to the foregoing requirements.
During any such Extension Period, the Company shall not, and shall not
permit any Subsidiary to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on,
or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any
of the Company's capital stock, or (ii) make any payment of principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt security
of the Company that ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest
to the Debentures or make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee
by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the Company that by
their terms rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the
Debentures (other than (a) dividends or distributions in Common Stock, (b) any
declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a Rights
Plan, the issuance of any Common Stock of any class or series of preferred stock
of the Company under any Rights Plan or the repurchase of any rights distributed
pursuant to a Rights Plan, (c) payments under any Bank One Guarantee which is
for the benefit of the holders of Preferred Securities or Common Securities
issued by the Trust, (d) purchases of Common Stock related to the issuance of
Common Stock under any of the Company's benefit plans for its directors,
officers or employees and (e) obligations under any dividend reinvestment and
stock purchase plan).
16
Subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if such approval
is then required under applicable law, rules, guidelines or policies of the
Federal Reserve, the Company will have the right at any time to liquidate the
Trust and cause the Debentures to be distributed to the holders of the Trust
Securities in liquidation of the Trust.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, this Debenture is transferable by the registered Holder
hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Debenture
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in the City
and State of New York or the City of Chicago, Illinois accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Securities Registrar duly executed by the registered Holder hereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Debentures of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation
thereto.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and the Security Registrar
may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the owner hereof (whether or
not this Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership
or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and
premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07 of the Indenture) interest due
hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor
any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the
interest on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as
such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly
waived and released.
[The Debentures are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $25 and any integral multiple thereof.] [This Global
Debenture is exchangeable for Debentures in definitive form only under certain
limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. Debentures so issued are
issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $25 and any
integral multiple thereof.] As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations
17
herein and therein set forth, Debentures of this series [so issued]
are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Debentures of a
different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.
All terms used in this Debenture that are defined in the Indenture
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
THE INDENTURE AND THE DEBENTURES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
