ARTICLE III

AMENDMENT OF PROVISION OF MORTGAGE

Section 15.06 of the Mortgage shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

SECTION 15.06. The Trustee and any successor to the Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trusts created by this Mortgage by giving notice thereof in writing to the Company, specifying the date when such resignation shall take effect, and by giving notice thereof to the bondholders in the manner and to the extent provided under Section 15.10(c), and by publishing such notice at least once a week for three successive calendar weeks (the first such publication to be not less than thirty days nor more than sixty days prior to the effective date of such resignation) in one authorized newspaper in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, and in one authorized newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York. Subject to the provisions of Sections 15.04 and 15.05, such resignation shall take effect on the date specified in such notice unless previously a successor Trustee shall have been appointed as hereinafter provided, in which event such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of such successor Trustee. The Co-Trustee and any successor to the Co-Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving the Trustee and the Company notice in writing of such resignation, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, which shall be at least thirty days after the giving of such notice. Such resignation shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 15.04 and 15.05, take effect on the date specified in such notice unless previously a successor trustee shall have been appointed as hereinafter provided, in which event such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of such a successor trustee.

Either of the Trustees or any successor trustee may be removed at any time by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the bonds issued hereunder and at the time outstanding, upon payment to the trustee so removed of all moneys then due to it or him hereunder, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing, signed in duplicate by such holders. One copy shall be filed with the Company and the other with the trustee so removed.

The Co-Trustee and any successor to the Co-Trustee may be removed at any time by an instrument in writing signed in duplicate by the Trustee, one copy of which shall be filed with the Company and the other delivered to the Co-Trustee so removed.

In case at any time either of the Trustees or any successor trustee shall resign, die, be dissolved or be removed or otherwise shall become disqualified to act or incapable of acting, or in case control of the Trustee or of any successor trustee, or of its officers shall be taken over by any public officer or officers, a successor trustee may be appointed by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the bonds issued hereunder and at the time outstanding by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed in duplicate by such holders, and filed, one copy with the retiring trustee and the other with the successor trustee, notification thereof being given to the Company by such successor trustee; but until a successor trustee shall be so appointed by the bondholders as herein authorized, the Company, by an instrument in writing, executed by order of the Board of Directors, shall in any such case appoint a successor to the Trustee and the Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing in any such case, appoint a successor to the Co-Trustee. Every such successor to the Trustee so appointed by the bondholders, by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the Company shall be a bank or trust company in good standing organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State, having an office in the United States of America, and (a) which shall be a corporation having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $5,000,000, (b) which shall be authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation to exercise corporate trust powers, and (c) which shall be subject to supervision or examination by a Federal or State authority. If such successor Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, the combined capital and surplus of such successor Trustee shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Every such successor trustee appointed by the bondholders or by the Trustee in succession to the Co-Trustee shall always be an individual, a citizen of the United States of America, unless otherwise required by law.

Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, in case at any time the Co-Trustee, or any successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the Trustees hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without the appointment of a successor Co-Trustee.

If in a proper case no appointment of a successor to the Trustee or of a successor to the Co-Trustee shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article XV within six months after a vacancy shall have occurred in the office of trustee, the holder of any bond or the retiring Trustee or Co-Trustee may apply to any court, State or Federal having jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor to the Trustee or to the Co-Trustee, as the case may be.

The holders of the bonds of Series 2008D and the bonds of Series 2008F shall be deemed to have approved the foregoing amendment; however, the foregoing amendment shall not become effective until such time as it shall have received the requisite approvals under the provisions of the Mortgage.

ARTICLE IV

CONFIRMATION OF LIEN

The Company, for the equal and proportionate benefit and security of the holders of all bonds at any time issued under the Mortgage, hereby confirms the lien of the Mortgage upon, and hereby grants, bargains, sells, transfers, assigns, pledges, mortgages, warrants and conveys unto the Trustees, all property of the Company and all property hereafter acquired by the Company, other than (in each case) property which, by virtue of any of the provisions of the Mortgage, is excluded from such lien, and hereby confirms the title of the Trustees (as set forth in the Mortgage) in and to all such property. Without in any way limiting or restricting the generality of the foregoing, there is specifically included within the confirmation of lien and title hereinabove expressed the property of the Company legally described on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof.
