(b)In the event that the Company is notified by the IFA Trustee that (i) an event of default under the IFA Indenture has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) the IFA Trustee has declared the principal of all the IFA 2016A Bonds then outstanding immediately due and payable pursuant to the IFA Indenture, the Company shall call for redemption, on a redemption date selected by it not later than forty-five (45) days following the date on which such notice is mailed, the 2024 Bond outstanding, and shall on such redemption date redeem the same; provided, however, that such requirement of redemption shall be deemed waived by the holder of the 2024 Bond, if prior to the date fixed for such redemption of the 2024 Bond (x) such event of default is waived or cured as set forth in the IFA Indenture, or (y) there shall have occurred any completed default (as defined in the Mortgage) which affects any bond of any series outstanding under the Mortgage and which completed default has not been cured and made good prior to such redemption date, it being the intent of this proviso that, in lieu of such right to redemption, the holder of the 2024 Bond shall be entitled only to such rights as are available to the holders of bonds of any other series outstanding under the Mortgage in the event of such completed default; and in case of any subsequent occurrence or continuance of the events described in (i) and (ii) of this Section 3(b), the Company shall have the same obligation (subject to the same proviso) to redeem the 2024 Bond.

(c)In the event the IFA Trustee notifies the Company and the IFA that the interest payable on the IFA 2016A Bonds held by persons other than a “substantial user” or a “related person” as those terms are used in Section 147(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or a formal ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or by a written opinion of an attorney or firm of attorneys of nationally recognized standing on the subject of municipal bonds delivered at the request of the Company, to be no longer excludable from gross income for federal tax purposes by reason of a breach by the Company of any covenant, agreement or representation in the Loan Agreement, the Company shall call the 2024 Bond then outstanding to be redeemed on any date within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that such requirement of redemption, whether in whole or in part shall be deemed waived by the holder of the 2024 Bond if, prior to the date fixed for redemption of the 2024 Bond pursuant to this Section 3(c), there shall have occurred any completed default

(as defined in the Mortgage) which affects any bond of any series outstanding under the Mortgage and which completed default has not been cured and made good prior to such redemption date, it being the intent of this proviso that, in lieu of such right to redemption, the holder of the 2024 Bond shall be entitled only to such rights as are available to the holders of bonds of any other series outstanding under the Mortgage in the event of such completed default; but when any such completed default shall have been cured and made good, if interest on the IFA 2016A Bonds shall still be taxable as described above, the Company shall have the same obligation (subject to the same proviso) to redeem the 2024 Bond on an interest payment date within one hundred eighty (180) days after the curing and making good of such completed default; provided further, that the Company may call for redemption such portion of the 2024 Bond, which in the written opinion of an attorney or firm of attorneys of nationally recognized standing on the subject of municipal bonds, would allow the IFA Trustee to redeem the IFA 2016A Bonds in part, which redemption would have the result that the interest payable on the IFA 2016A Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption in part would not be subject to federal income taxation in the hands of persons other than a “substantial user” or a “related person” as those terms are used in Section 147(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; provided further, however, that no such determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the Internal Revenue Service will be considered final for this purpose unless the Company has been given written notice and, if it is so desired and is legally allowed, has been afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of any owner of an IFA 2016A Bond, and until the conclusion of any appellate review, if sought.

In case of redemption of the 2024 Bond in whole for the purpose of prepayment under the Loan Agreement pursuant to subsections (a), (b) or (c) above, the amounts payable upon redemption of the 2024 Bond shall be a sum sufficient, together with other funds deposited with the IFA Trustee and available for such purpose, to pay the principal of, and interest on the IFA 2016A Bonds then outstanding and to pay all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of the IFA Trustee accrued and to accrue through final payment of the IFA 2016A Bonds.

In case of redemption in part pursuant to (c) above, the amount payable by the Company under this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Loan Agreement and the 2024 Bond shall be a sum sufficient, together with other funds deposited with the IFA Trustee and available for such purpose, to pay the principal of and interest on the portion of the 2024 Bond so to be redeemed, which sum together with other funds deposited with the IFA Trustee and available

for such purpose shall be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on those IFA 2016A Bonds being redeemed and to pay all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of the IFA Trustee accrued and to accrue through such partial redemption.

To comply with any obligations to redeem the 2024 Bond in whole or in part imposed in this Section 3, the Company shall give written notice of the date of redemption to the IFA Trustee, which date, unless otherwise specified in this Section 3, shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days from the date the notice is mailed. No further notice, by publication or otherwise, shall be required for redemption of the 2024 Bond, and the requirements of Section 59 of the Mortgage for notice by newspaper publication shall not apply to the 2024 Bond.

At the option of the holder, the 2024 Bond, upon surrender thereof at the office or agency of the Company in Chicago, Illinois, together with a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Company duly executed by the holder or by his duly authorized attorney, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.

The 2024 Bond will be nontransferable except to the IFA Trustee and successors thereto, if any, and to the Company. To the extent that it is transferable, it is transferable by the registered holder thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, Illinois, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at said office and upon presentation of a written instrument of transfer duly executed. Thereupon, the Company shall issue in the name of the transferee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new registered 2024 Bond or Bonds, in authorized denominations, of equal aggregate principal amount. Any such transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Mortgage and in this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

The Company shall not be required to transfer or exchange the 2024 Bond for a period of ten (10) days next preceding any interest payment date of said bond.

Except as set forth herein, no charge shall be made upon any transfer or exchange of any of the 2024 Bond other than for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge required to be paid by the Company.

The 2024 Bond shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) and shall be issued under the provisions of Article VII of the Original Mortgage.

To the extent that it is transferable, it is transferable by the registered holder thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Chicago, Illinois, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at said office and upon presentation of a written instrument of transfer duly executed. Thereupon, the Company shall issue in the name of the transferee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new registered 2024 Bond or Bonds, in authorized denominations, of equal aggregate principal amount. Any such transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Mortgage and in the Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

SECTION 5.Until the 2024 Bond in definitive form is ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and upon its request in writing the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu thereof, a fully registered 2024 Bond in temporary form, as provided in Section 15 of the Original Mortgage.

SECTION 6.The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay to the holder of the 2024 Bond the principal thereof and interest on said bond at the dates and place and in the manner mentioned therein; provided, however, that:

(a)The obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and interest on the 2024 Bond shall be discharged to the extent that any moneys in the Series 2016A Bond Fund within the Bond Fund (as defined in the IFA Indenture) created under and pursuant to the IFA Indenture are available for the payment of the principal of or interest on the IFA 2016A Bonds and are directed by the Company to be applied to the payment thereof in the manner provided in the IFA Indenture on or prior to the dates on which the Company is required to pay the principal of or interest on the 2024 Bond.

(b)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, the principal amount of any IFA 2016A Bonds acquired by the Company and delivered to the IFA Trustee, or acquired by the IFA Trustee and cancelled, shall be credited against the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of the 2024 Bond.

As the principal of and interest on the 2024 Bond is paid or deemed paid in full, and upon its receipt by the Company, such bond shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company shall promptly inform the Trustee of all payments made and credits availed of with respect to its obligations on the 2024 Bond. The Trustee shall not be required to recognize any payment made or credit availed of with respect to any 2024 Bond unless it has received (a) the bond for cancellation by it, or (b) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the IFA Trustee specifying the amount of such payment or credit and the principal amount of the 2024 Bond with respect to which the payment or credit was applied. In the absence of receipt by the Trustee of any 2024 Bond, any such certificate shall be controlling and conclusive.

SECTION 7.The covenant of the Company to make annual payments to the Trustee for a Maintenance and Improvement Fund as contained in Section 41 of the Original Mortgage and in the first twenty-four Supplemental

Indentures to the Original Mortgage creating the several series of First Mortgage Bonds presently outstanding under such Supplemental Indentures shall not apply to nor be for the benefit of the 2024 Bond, and the Company reserves the right, without any consent of, or other action by, the holder of the 2024 Bond, to amend, modify or delete the provisions of the Mortgage relating to such Maintenance and Improvement Fund and by acceptance of the 2024 Bond the holder thereof waives any right or privilege so to consent or take any other action with respect thereto.

SECTION 8.The Company covenants that, so long as the 2024 Bond shall remain outstanding, it will comply with all of the provisions of Section 47 of the Original Mortgage, including the provisions with respect to limitations on dividends and distributions and the purchase and redemption of stock.

SECTION 9.The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts herein declared, provided and created and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein and in the Mortgage set forth and upon the following terms and conditions:

The recitals contained herein and in the bonds shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or adequacy of the security afforded hereby, or as to the validity of this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture or of the 2024 Bond issued hereunder.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the IFA 2016A Bonds, the IFA Indenture, the Loan Agreement, or any act or omission of the IFA Trustee. No provision of this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action or exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture at the request or direction of the holder of the 2024 Bond pursuant to this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture unless and until such holder shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee against the costs, expenses or liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee’s compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties directly or by or through attorneys or agents and shall not be answerable for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent if appointed with due care. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any special, indirect, punitive

or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit), irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to Section 52 of the Original Mortgage is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on certificates of officers of the Company).

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing designated persons authorized to provide such instructions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its reasonable discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

SECTION 10.Whenever in this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture either of the parties hereto is named or referred to, this shall, subject to the provisions of Article XVII of the Original Mortgage, be deemed to include the successors or assigns of such party, and all the covenants and agreements in this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Trustee, shall, subject as aforesaid, bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of such parties, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11.Nothing in this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or to give to, any person, co-partnership or corporation, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the bonds outstanding under the Mortgage, any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture or any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof; and all the covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the bonds outstanding under the Mortgage.

SECTION 12.The Company covenants that all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Mortgage shall be applicable to the 2024 Bond issued hereunder, except as herein otherwise provided and except insofar as the same may be inconsistent with the provisions of this Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

SECTION 13.This Sixty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture is dated as of December 1, 2016, although executed and delivered on the date of the acknowledgement hereof by the Trustee; and shall be simultaneously executed and delivered in several counterparts, and all such counterparts executed and delivered, each as an original, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, THE HOLDER OF THE 2024 BOND, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE MORTGAGE OR THE 2024 BOND.
