and First Trust of Illinois, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture as
hereinafter defined), as supplemented and amended by a Third Supplemental
Indenture thereto dated as of February 20, 1986, and by an Eighth Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of May 15, 1990, and as last supplemented by the Sixteenth
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 7, 1996 (said Indenture, as so

Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
description of the property thereby pledged, the nature and extent of the

security, the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the rights and
obligations of the Corporation in respect of the Debentures, and the terms and
conditions upon which the Debentures are, and are to be, secured. The Debentures
may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different
times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in the
Indenture provided. This Debenture is one of a series designated as the "6 7/8%
Collateral Trust Debentures, Series Q, due August 1, 2001" of the Corporation
(herein called the "Series Q Debentures"), duly authorized and lawfully issued
in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $60,000,000 under and secured by
the Indenture.
The provisions of the Indenture may be waived, or modified or amended
by supplemental indenture, to the extent and in the manner provided in the
Indenture, but in certain instances only with the consent of the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of all Debentures at the time
outstanding, and of 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of each series of the
Debentures at the time outstanding which is affected by such waiver or
supplemental indenture; provided, however, that, without the written consent of
the holder of this Debenture, no such modification or amendment shall be made so
as to (i) extend the fixed maturity of this Debenture or the time of payment of
interest hereon, or reduce or otherwise modify the terms of payment of the
principal of, or the rate of interest on, this Debenture, or adversely affect
the right of the holder hereof to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, (ii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity
with the lien of the Indenture with respect to, or terminate the lien of the
Indenture on, any of the property covered thereby, or deprive the holder hereof
of the security afforded by the lien of the Indenture or (iii) reduce the
percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures, or of Series Q
Debentures, required to authorize any such modification or amendment or any
waiver of any provision of, or default under, the Indenture.

the principal of all the Debentures at any such time outstanding under the
Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable upon the conditions and
in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that in certain events such Event of Default and its consequences may
be waived and such declaration may be rescinded by the holders of outstanding
Debentures in the manner provided in the Indenture.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, declaration, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the holder of this Debenture shall bind the
holder of every Debenture issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to
be done by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Corporation in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon this Debenture.

The Series Q Debentures may not be redeemed prior to maturity.
The transfer of this Debenture may be registered by the registered
holder hereof or by his duly authorized attorney at the office or agency of the
Corporation in the City of Chicago, Illinois, or in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City of New York, New York, upon surrender of this Debenture for
cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form approved
by the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder of this Debenture or
by his duly authorized attorney, and thereupon one or more new Debentures of the
same series and aggregate principal amount will be issued in the name of the
transferee or transferees in exchange herefor without service charge, except
that the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay any stamp
taxes or other governmental charges that may be required with respect thereto,
as provided in the Indenture.
The person in whose name this Debenture shall be registered shall be
deemed the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account
of the principal of and interest on, this Debenture shall be made only to or
upon the written order of such registered owner or his duly authorized attorney.
All such payments shall satisfy and discharge the liability upon this Debenture
to the extent of the amounts so paid.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or
interest on, this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Corporation or any 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 issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.
