NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Northern Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries (Northern Trust),
all of which are wholly owned. Significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements as of
September 30, 1995 and 1994 have not been audited by independent public
accountants. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the
interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' consolidated
financial statements to place them on a basis comparable with the current
period's consolidated financial statements. For a description of Northern
Trust's significant accounting principles, refer to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in the 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.

At September 30, 1995, other domestic and international loans include $946.9
million of overnight trust-related advances in connection with next day security
settlements, compared with $716.6 million at December 31, 1994 and $609.9
million at September 30, 1994.

Northern Trust adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 114 and
118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", effective January 1,
1995.  These statements provide guidance as to when loans should be classified
and reported as impaired and address how the reserve for credit losses related
to these loans should be determined.  Any shortfall in the estimated value of an
impaired loan compared with the recorded investment of the loan, is identified
as an allocated portion of the reserve for credit losses and is one of the
factors considered by management in their overall assessment of reserve
adequacy.  No changes were required to Northern Trust's accounting policies for
loans, charge-offs and interest income as a result of adopting these statements.
These policies are described in  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Footnotes 1E and 1F) in the 1994 Annual Report.

At September 30, 1995, nonperforming assets totaled $35.4 million.  Included in
this amount  were loans with a recorded investment of $27.7 million which were
also classified as impaired.  Impaired loans totaling $24.5 million had no
portion of the reserve for credit losses allocated to them, while $3.2 million
had an allocated reserve of $.4 million.  For the third quarter of 1995, the
total recorded investment in impaired loans averaged $29.0 million.  Total
interest income recognized on impaired loans for the quarter ended September 30,
1995 was $149 thousand, most of which was recognized using the cash-basis method
of accounting.

Item 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS

Net income for the third quarter totaled a record $58.1 million, an increase of
21% from the $48.0 million reported in the third quarter of 1994.  Net income
per common share on a fully diluted basis increased 18% to $.98 from $.83 in
1994.  This earnings performance produced an annualized return on average common
equity (ROE) of 18.11% versus 17.02% reported last year and an annualized return
on average assets (ROA) of 1.14% versus 1.05% in 1994.  Record levels of trust
fees, foreign exchange trading profits, and net interest income contributed to
the quarter's performance.  Total noninterest expenses increased 5.5% from the
previous year while declining from the first and second quarters of 1995.


NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased 14% and totaled $173.4 million for the quarter,
accounting for 64% of total taxable equivalent revenue. Trust fees, which
represent 73% of noninterest income and 47% of total taxable equivalent revenue,
grew 10% or $11.5 million over the comparable quarter of last year reaching
$127.3 million. The increase reflects an 8% growth level in Corporate and
Institutional Services (C&IS) and a 12% increase in Personal Financial Services
(PFS). Total trust assets under administration at quarter-end were $585.4
billion, up $90.6 billion from one year ago.

Trust fees from C&IS increased $4.9 million to $64.8 million.  The increase in
fees reflects new business and strong growth across all products, particularly
custody, retirement services, securities lending and investment management.
Custody fees increased $1.6 million and totaled $30.6 million for the quarter.
The growth was centered primarily in domestic custody driven by an increase in
transaction-based fee revenues and new business from both new and existing
clients.  Fees from retirement services generated by Hazlehurst & Associates,
Inc. increased 18% from the year ago quarter.  Domestic securities lending
fees, up 28% versus last year, reflect a 26% increase in the volume of
securities loaned as well as higher spreads earned from the investment of the
cash collateral.  Investment management fees increased 26%, primarily as a
result of new business.  C&IS trust assets under administration grew 18% or
$80.4 billion over last year and now total $525.0 billion.  C&IS assets under
the management of Northern Trust total $60.6 billion, up 29% from a year ago.

PFS trust fees amounted to $62.5 million, up 12% or $6.6 million from the
corresponding 1994 quarter.  Total personal trust assets under administration
increased $10.2 billion over last year and totaled $60.4 billion, with $36.6
billion under management.  The primary contributors to this fee growth were the
Wealth Management Group and PFS offices in Chicago, Florida and California.
PFS fees benefited from new business growth and higher market values of assets
under administration.  The increase in trust fees also reflects the contribution
of Beach Bank, a March 31, 1995 acquisition.

                                                                              10
<PAGE>
 
Security commissions and trading income totaled $5.8 million, compared with $4.4
million reported in the third quarter of last year.  The increase resulted
primarily from a higher volume of trading activity by individual clients.

Other operating income in the quarter totaled $40.0 million, compared to $32.6
million in the third quarter of 1994.  The principal items included in other
operating income are foreign exchange trading profits and treasury management
fees.  Foreign exchange trading profits were at record levels and totaled $16.2
million, an increase of $6.6 million.  Foreign exchange revenues, which are
generated in both Chicago and London, have benefited from an increase in cross-
border investment activities of Master Trust/Master Custody clients and
favorable market conditions.  The fee portion of treasury management revenues
rose 9% to $12.5 million.  Total treasury management revenues, which, in
addition to fees, include the value of compensating deposit balances, increased
during the quarter and reflect growth across each treasury management product,
particularly electronic services.  These revenues increased despite the fact
that $.8 million was credited to treasury management clients as a result of a
retroactive reduction in FDIC deposit insurance premiums.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the third quarter totaled $89.4 million, 5% higher than
the $85.0 million reported in the third quarter of 1994.  Net interest income is
defined as the total of interest income and amortized fees on earning assets
less interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds adjusted for the impact of
off-balance sheet hedging activity.  When net interest income is adjusted to a
fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable and
partially taxable assets are comparable, although the adjustment to a FTE basis
has no impact on net income.  Net interest income on a FTE basis for the third
quarter was $98.9 million, up 6% from the $93.2 million reported in 1994.  This
increase is due to higher levels of average earning assets, reflecting in part
the Beach Bank acquisition and the acquisition of Tanglewood Bank on July 31.

Earning assets for the third quarter averaged $17.8 billion, up 11% from the
$16.0 billion in the third quarter of 1994.  The $1.8 billion growth in earning
assets reflects an 11% or $922 million increase in average loans, a $1.6 billion
or 30% growth in average securities and a $685 million or 28% decrease in
average money market assets.

Overall loan volume reflected a $1.0 billion or 13% increase in domestic
lending, which was partially offset by a decline in international lending.
Approximately 46% of the increase in domestic lending is attributable to
residential mortgage loans now accounting for 39% of the total average loan
portfolio.  Commercial and industrial loans grew 13% or $372 million to average
$3.1 billion for the quarter.  In addition, domestic and international overnight
advances related to processing certain trust client investments averaged $697
million, up $118 million from a year ago.  Securities for the quarter averaged
$6.7 billion, up 30% from the $5.1 billion reported last year, due primarily to
a $1.4 billion increase in short-term federal agency securities.  The decline in
money market assets of $685 million was due to short-term interest rates
providing fewer opportunities to add marginal net interest income.

11
<PAGE>
 
The growth in average earning assets was funded primarily by increased levels of
interest-bearing time deposits, federal funds purchased and other borrowings,
and noninterest-related funds.  Interest-bearing deposits averaged $9.4 billion,
up $705 million from the third quarter of 1994.  This growth came principally
from savings certificates (up $893 million), partially offset by a $239 million
decline in foreign office time deposits.  The 72% increase in the average volume
of savings certificates is due in large part to successful certificate of
deposit campaigns conducted periodically during last year's fourth quarter and
the first quarter of 1995.  Average noninterest-related funds increased $163
million, due primarily to growth in stockholders' equity.  Total average
stockholders' equity increased $150 million or 12% from the third quarter of
1994.  The increase primarily reflects the growth in retained earnings.

The net interest margin decreased to 2.21% compared with 2.31% last year due
primarily to narrowing spreads between short-term assets and various short-term
funding sources.  Also contributing to the decline in the net interest margin
was the increase in the level of nonearning trust-related overnight advances.


PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses of $2.0 million compares to $1.0 million in the
third quarter of 1994.  For a discussion of the reserve for credit losses, refer
to the Asset Quality section on pages 14 and 15.


NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest expenses totaled $175.5 million for the quarter, up 5.5% from $166.2
million in the third quarter of 1994 and less than the Corporation's noninterest
expenses for each of the first two quarters of 1995.  The third quarter expenses
included a $3.9 million pension settlement charge for retiring officers, $1.2
million in staff-related severance costs and approximately $2.3 million of
expenses from the Beach Bank and Tanglewood Bank acquisitions.  These expenses
were largely offset by a $4.6 million refund in FDIC deposit insurance premiums
paid for the June through September 1995 period.  The majority of the remaining
increase in noninterest expenses was concentrated primarily in technology
spending and personal trust business expansion.

Salaries and benefits, which represent 60% of total noninterest expenses,
increased 6% to $104.4 million.  The principal items contributing to the change
were merit increases, incentive compensation, severance costs, and additions to
staff at Hazlehurst & Associates to support Northern's growing retirement
services business and from the Beach Bank and Tanglewood Bank acquisitions.
Higher costs related to retirement benefits, health care and payroll taxes also
contributed to the overall increase.  Staff on a full-time equivalent basis
totaled 6,465 at September 30, 1995.  Adjusting for the positions added by the
Beach Bank and Tanglewood Bank acquisitions, staff levels declined by 285
positions since the end of 1994.

                                                                              12
<PAGE>
 
Net occupancy expenses totaled $15.6 million, up 9% or $1.2 million from $14.4
million in the third quarter of 1994. The principal components of the increase
were higher real estate taxes and utility costs, amortization and depreciation
of leasehold improvements and buildings, as well as expansion costs related to
the opening of new offices in Florida, Illinois and Texas.

Equipment expense, which includes depreciation, rental, and maintenance costs,
totaled $12.0 million, up $1.2 million or 11% from the third quarter of 1994.
The principal components of the increase were higher rental costs for computers
and equipment and increased depreciation expense primarily related to personal
computers.

Other operating expenses totaled $43.5 million, up 2% from $42.3 million in the
third quarter of 1994.  Reflected in other operating expenses is the $3.9
million pension settlement charge, as well as a credit for the $4.6 million
refund of FDIC deposit insurance premiums.  Increases in computer software
amortization, up $2.4 million to $8.7 million, along with higher costs incurred
from processing errors, were partially offset by lower levels of professional
service costs, transaction-based depository fees and other real estate owned
operating costs.


PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $27.2 million for the third quarter compared
with $22.4 million in the year ago quarter.  The higher tax provision in 1995
resulted from the growth in taxable earnings for federal income tax purposes
while tax-exempt income declined slightly.  Partially offsetting this was a
lower state income tax provision due to increased levels of tax-exempt income
for state purposes.  The effective tax rate was 32% for both years.


NINE MONTHS EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS

Net income totaled $160.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
compared to $142.1 million last year, an increase of 13%.  On a fully diluted
basis, net income per common share was $2.71, up 9% from the $2.47 earned last
year.  The ROE for the nine month period was 17.37% versus 17.64% one year ago,
while the ROA was 1.12% versus 1.07% in 1994.

Noninterest income increased 5% to $503.5 million from $481.0 million in the
like period of 1994.  Excluding the $28.5 million gain recorded from the 1994
sale of the Corporation's interest in Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS), the
year-to-year increase was $51.0 million or 11%.  Noninterest income comprised
63% of total taxable equivalent revenue.  Trust fees totaled $371.4 million, up
10% from $338.8 million last year.  Security commissions and trading income
totaled $16.9 million, down $.3 million from the $17.2 million earned last year.
Other operating income, exclusive of the BSS gain from the prior year, increased
19% to $114.7 million.  Foreign exchange trading profits were at record levels
and totaled $43.0 million, an increase of $17.2 million compared with one year
ago.  The fee portion of treasury management revenues totaled $36.9 million, a
5% improvement from the $35.1 million reported in 1994.  Total treasury
management revenues, which, in addition to fees, include the value of
compensating deposit balances, also increased and contributed to the improvement
in net interest income.

13
<PAGE>
 
Net interest income stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled a record
$294.5 million, up 8% from the $272.1 million reported in the like period of
1994.  The provision for credit losses remained unchanged at $5.0 million.  Net
loan charge-offs declined to $4.8 million from $5.6 million in 1994.
Noninterest expenses totaled $530.7 million, up 3% from $515.6 million in
1994.  Exclusive of nonrecurring charges in 1994, total noninterest expenses
increased 7% from prior year levels.


BALANCE SHEET

Total assets as of September 30, 1995 were $20.2 billion and averaged $19.1
billion for the first nine months, up 8% from last year's average of $17.7
billion.  With increased lending activity, in addition to the Beach Bank and
Tanglewood Bank acquisitions, loans and leases totaled  $9.8 billion at
September 30, 1995, and averaged $9.0 billion for the first nine months.  This
compares with $8.5 billion in total loans at September 30, 1994 and $8.2 billion
on average for the first nine months of last year.  Driven primarily by
continued strong earnings growth and the acquisition of Beach Bank, common
stockholders' equity increased 14% and totaled $1.24 billion at September 30,
1995, versus $1.09 billion at September 30, 1994.  Total stockholders' equity
also increased and totaled $1.41 billion at September 30, 1995 compared with
$1.26 billion at September 30, 1994.

During the quarter, the Corporation purchased approximately 630,000 common
shares in connection with its stock buyback program.  The Northern Trust Company
successfully completed a $100 million subordinated bank note offering, adding
Tier 2 capital at favorable rates.  Northern Trust's risk-based capital ratios
remained strong at 8.9% for tier 1 and 12.7% for total capital at September 30,
1995.  These capital ratios are well above the minimum regulatory requirements
of 4% for tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital ratios.  The leverage ratio
(tier 1 capital to third quarter average assets) of 6.2% at September 30, 1995,
also exceeded the regulatory requirement of 3%.

Refer to footnote 7 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a
description of acquisitions.


ASSET QUALITY

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and leases, restructured loans,
and other real estate owned (OREO).  Nonperforming assets at September 30, 1995
totaled $35.4 million, compared with $30.0 million at December 31, 1994 and
$39.2 million at September 30, 1994.  Domestic nonaccrual loans and leases,
consisting primarily of commercial loans, totaled $30.4 million, or .33% of
total domestic loans and leases at September 30, 1995.  Included in this total
are commercial real estate loans of $5.0 million.

The following Nonperforming Asset table presents the outstanding amounts of
nonaccrual loans and leases, restructured loans and OREO.  Also shown are loans
that have interest or principal payments that are delinquent 90 days or more and
are still accruing interest.  The balance in this category at any quarter end
can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash collections, renegotiations and
renewals.

                                                                              14

</TABLE>

PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES.  The provision for credit losses is 
the charge against current earnings that is determined by management through a
disciplined credit review process as the amount needed to maintain a reserve
that is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in Northern Trust's loan and
lease portfolios and other credit undertakings. While the largest portion of
this reserve is intended to cover loan and lease losses, it is considered a
general reserve that is available to cover all credit-related exposures.

The 1995 third quarter provision for credit losses was $2.0 million, compared
with $1.0 million in 1994. Net charge-offs totaled $1.8 million in the third
quarter of 1995 versus net charge-offs of $1.0 million last year. The reserve
for credit losses was $147.3 million, equal to 1.50% of outstanding loans at
September 30, 1995. This compares with $144.8 million or 1.69% of outstanding
loans at December 31, 1994 and $144.9 million or 1.71% of outstanding loans at
September 30, 1994. The lower reserve to outstanding loans ratio at September
30, 1995 is attributable to loan growth, a significant portion of which is in
low-risk residential lending and overnight trust related advances.

The overall credit quality of the domestic portfolio has remained good as
evidenced by the low level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs.
Management's assessment of the current U.S. economy, the financial condition of
certain clients facing financial difficulties, bank acquisitions and portfolio
growth were primary factors impacting management's decision to increase the
reserve for credit losses to $147.3 million at September 30, 1995, up slightly
from December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1994.

Northern Trust continues to monitor closely several credits, but the overall
quality of its loan portfolio remains sound and the reserve for credit losses is
adequate to cover credit-related uncertainties as they exist today. Established
credit review procedures ensure that close attention is given to commercial real
estate-related loans and other commercial loans, as well as other credit
exposures that might be adversely affected by significant increases in interest
rates or unexpected downturns in segments of the economies of the United States
or other countries.

                                  ARTICLE I 
                               THE STOCKHOLDERS


     SECTION 1.1 Annual Meeting. There shall be an annual meeting of the
stockholders on the third Tuesday in April of each year at ten-thirty o'clock
A.M., or at such other date or time as shall be designated from time to time by
the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, for the election
of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before
the meeting.

     SECTION 1.2 Special Meetings. A special meeting of the stockholders may be
called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the

purpose or purposes for which such meeting shall be called.

     SECTION 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Unless a different manner of giving notice
is prescribed by statute, written or printed notice stating the place, day, and
hour of the meeting, and in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes
for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not more than 50 days nor

          SECTION 1.4. Fixing Date of Record.
  
          (a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record
date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date
is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more
than 60 nor less than 10 days (or less than 20 days if a merger or consolidation
of the Corporation, or a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of
the Corporation's property or assets, is to be acted upon at the meeting) before
the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors,
the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the next day
preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is
held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote
at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to an adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.

  ARTICLE       (b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
     I        entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a
              meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which
              record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution
              fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and
              which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon
              which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the
              Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board
              of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders
              entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a
              meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is
              required by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
              Corporation or by statute, shall be the first date on which a
              signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed
              to be taken is delivered in the manner required by law to the
              Corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware or
              at its principal place of business or to an officer or agent of
              the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of
              meetings of the Corporation's stockholders are recorded. Delivery
              made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand
              delivery or by certified or registered mail, return receipt
              requested. If no record has been fixed by the Board of Directors
              and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the
              Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by statute, the record
              date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate
              action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of
              business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the
              resolution taking such prior action.

                (c) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
              entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution
              or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to
              exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or
              exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action,
              the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date
              shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the
              record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more
              than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the
              record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose
              shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
              Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

                (d) Only those who shall be stockholders of record on the record
              date so fixed as aforesaid shall be entitled to such notice of,
              and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to
              receive payment of such dividend or other distribution, or to
              receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as
              the case may be, notwithstanding the transfer of any stock on the
              books of the Corporation after the applicable record date.

                SECTION 1.5. Inspectors of Election. The Board of Directors or
              the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the
              Corporation shall appoint, in advance, one or more inspectors to
              act at each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation. If no
              inspector has been appointed or one or more have been appointed
              but are unable or fail to act, the presiding officer of any
              meeting of the stockholders shall appoint one or more persons as
              inspectors for such meeting. Such inspectors shall ascertain the
              number of shares of stock of the Corporation outstanding and
              entitled to vote at the meeting and the voting power of each
              share; determine and report the number of shares represented at
              the meeting, based upon their determination of the validity and
              effect of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and
              report the results; and do such other acts as are required by law
              or are proper to conduct the election and voting with impartiality
              and fairness to all the stockholders. Each report of an inspector
              shall be in writing and signed by him or her or a majority of them
              if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If
              there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall
              be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or
              inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and
              the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.
              The inspector or inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or
              entities to assist in performing their duties.

                                       2

  ARTICLE       SECTION 1.6. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding    
     I        shares of capital stock entitled to vote at the         
              meeting, represented in person or by proxy, shall 
              constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. 
              In the absence of a quorum, a meeting may be 
              adjourned from time to time without notice to the 
              stockholders except as otherwise required by law.

                SECTION 1.7. Cumulative Voting Rights. At all 
              elections of Directors of the Corporation, each 
              stockholder entitled generally to vote for the 
              election of Directors shall be entitled to as many 
              votes as shall equal the number of votes which 
              (except for this provision as to cumulative voting) 
              the stockholder would be entitled to cast for the 
              election of Directors with respect to the 
              stockholder's shares of stock multiplied by the 
              number of Directors to be elected, and the 
              stockholder may cast all of such votes for a 
              single Director or may distribute them among the 
              number to be voted for, or for any two or more of 
              them as the stockholder may see fit.

                SECTION 1.8. Proxies. At all meetings of 
              stockholders, a stockholder entitled to vote may 
              vote either in person or by proxy executed in 
              writing by the stockholder or by the stockholder's 
              duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall 
              be filed with the Secretary before or at the time of 
              the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven 
              months from the date of its execution, unless 
              otherwise provided in the proxy.

                SECTION 1.9. Voting by Ballot. Voting in any 
              election for Directors shall be by ballot.

                SECTION 1.10. Voting Lists. The officer who has 
              charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall 
              prepare and make, at least ten days before every 
              meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the 
              stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, 
              arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the 
              address of each stockholder and the number of 
              shares registered in the name of each stockholder. 
              Such list shall be open to the examination of any 
              stockholder, for any purpose germane to the 
              meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a 
              period of at least ten days prior to the meeting,

              foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or 
              proxy as the by-laws of such corporation may 
              prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as 
              the board of directors of such corporation may 
              determine.

                Shares of capital stock of the Corporation standing 
              in the name of a deceased person, a minor ward or 
              an incompetent person, may be voted by his or her 
              administrator, executor, court appointed guardian 
              or conservator, either in person or by proxy 
              without a transfer of such shares into the name of 
              such administrator, executor, court appointed 
              guardian or conservator. Shares of capital stock of 
              the Corporation standing in the name of a trustee

              receiver, and shares held by or under the control 
              of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without 
              the transfer thereof into the receiver's name if 
              authority so to do be contained in an appropriate 
              order of the court by which such receiver was 
              appointed.

                A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be 
              entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been
              transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the
              pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

                Shares of its own capital stock belonging to this 
              Corporation shall not be voted, directly or 
              indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted 
              in determining the total number of outstanding 
              shares at any given time, but shares of its own 
              stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity may be 
              voted and shall be counted in determining the total 
              number of outstanding shares at any given time.

                                WAIVER OF NOTICE

                SECTION 14.1. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice 
              whatever is required to be given under the 
              provisions of these By-laws or under the provisions

              of Delaware, waiver thereof in writing, signed by 
              the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether        
              before or after the time stated therein, shall be

              waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the

              objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the 
              transaction of any business because the meeting is 
              not lawfully called or convened.

                                INDEMNIFICATION

                SECTION 15.1. Indemnification Request. A director, 
              officer or other person (the ``Indemnitee'') who 
              seeks indemnification (other than advancement of 
              expenses pursuant to Section 15.12 hereof), in 
              respect of amounts paid or owing as expenses, 
              judgments, fines, or in settlement, shall submit a 
              written request for indemnification (the 
              ``Indemnification Request'') to the Board of 
              Directors of the Corporation by delivering or 
              mailing the same, registered or certified mail, to 
              the Board of Directors c/o the Secretary of the 
              Corporation at the Corporation's principal 
              executive offices. If mailed, the Indemnification 
              Request shall be deemed made 48 hours after 
              depositing the same in the United States mail 
              addressed as aforesaid.

                SECTION 15.2. Determination of Indemnification 
              Request. The determination of the Indemnitee's 
              entitlement to indemnification as set forth in the 
              Indemnification Request shall be made in the 
              specific case, at the expense of the Corporation, 
              as set forth in paragraph 5 of Article Eighth of 
              the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. However, 
              in the event a Change of Control (as hereinafter 
              defined) shall have occurred, such determination 
              shall be made by Independent Counsel in a written 
              opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which 
              shall be delivered to the Indemnitee. 

                SECTION 15.3. Presumption of Entitlement; 
              Conclusive Effect of Findings of Fact and Law; 
              Other Procedures. The termination with respect to 
              the Indemnitee of any action, suit or proceeding or 
              of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, 
              order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of 
              nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of 
              itself adversely affect the right of the Indemnitee 
              to indemnification or create a presumption that the 
              Indemnitee did not meet the standard of conduct 
              required by Article Eighth of the Restated 
              Certificate of Incorporation for indemnification. 
              If the Indemnitee is a person referred to in 
              paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 Article Eighth of the Restated 
              Certificate of Incorporation, the Indemnitee shall 
              be presumed to have met the required standard of 
              conduct but only to the extent not contrary to any 
              final findings of fact or law made in any action, 
              suit or proceeding to which the Indemnitee is or 
              was a party and for which indemnification is 
              requested. The person, persons or entity making the 
              determination of the Indemnitee's entitlement to 
              indemnification shall be entitled to rely upon all 
              such findings of fact and law made known to such 
              person, persons or entity. Such person, persons or 
              entity may consider such other matters as they or 
              it deem appropriate, shall not be required to 
              receive or hear evidence, oral presentations, 
              briefs or other submission, shall not be required 
              to hold hearings, and shall not otherwise be 
              subject to any rules of evidence or procedure 
              applicable to judicial or other proceedings.

ARTICLE         SECTION 15.4. Cooperation and Expenses. The 
  XV          Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons 
              or entity making the determination with respect to 
              the Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification, 
              including providing to such person, persons or 
              entity upon reasonable advance request, any 
              documentation or information which is not 
              privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure 
              and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee 
              and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any 
              costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and 
              disbursements) reasonably incurred by the 
              Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, 
              persons or entity making such determination shall 
              be borne by the Corporation irrespective of the 
              determination as to the Indemnitee's entitlement to 
              indemnification.

                SECTION 15.5. Selection of Independent Counsel. If 
              a determination of the Indemnitee's entitlement to 
              indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, 
              the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided    
              in this Section 15.5. If a Change of Control shall 
              not have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be 
              selected by a majority vote of a quorum of the 
              Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested 
              Directors. If a Change of Control shall have 
              occurred, or if a quorum shall decline or fail to 
              select Independent Counsel within five business days 
              after having directed, pursuant to paragraph 5(b) 
              of Article Eighth of the Restated Certificate of 
              Incorporation, the determination of the 
              Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification to be 
              submitted to Independent Counsel, then Independent 
              Counsel shall be selected by the law firm regularly 
              or most frequently engaged by the Corporation 
              during the preceding three years for representation 
              or counseling in connection with general corporate 
              matters. In any event, Independent Counsel shall be 
              selected from among those Chicago, Illinois, or 
              Delaware law firms having a significant and 
              continuous practice in the field of corporate law 
              but excluding any firm that: (i) has, within the 
              preceding three years represented the Corporation, 
              the Indemnitee or affiliates of either in any 
              significant matter; (ii) has, within the preceding 
              three years, represented any other party in any 
              significant judicial or other proceeding against or 
              in opposition to the Corporation, the Indemnitee or 
              any affiliate of either; (iii) had any involvement 
              of any significant nature in or with respect to the 
              claim for which indemnification is requested; or 
              (iv) has any other material conflict of interest in 
              being engaged as Independent Counsel.

                SECTION 15.6. Time for Determination. The 
              determination of the Indemnitee's entitlement to 
              indemnification shall be made within 60 days after 
              such Indemnitee shall have submitted all such 
              additional information, if any, as shall have been 
              reasonably requested during the 30-day period 
              following the initial submission of the 
              Indemnification Request to the Board of Directors 
              pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof. The foregoing 
              notwithstanding, in the event that the claim with 
              respect to which indemnification is requested is 
              the subject of a judicial, government or other 
              proceeding, the Board of Directors, stockholders or 
              Independent Counsel, as the case may be, may defer 
              their determination until 60 days after any such 
              proceeding shall have been finally adjudicated or 
              terminated (by settlement or otherwise) and all 
              periods for appeal, rehearing or reinstitution of 
              such proceeding (whether in a different forum or 
              otherwise) have expired.

ARTICLE         SECTION 15.7. Failure To Make Determination; 
  XV          Remedies For Enforcement. If a determination of the 
              Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall 
              not be made within the period specified in these 
              By-laws, unless due to a material failure of the 
              Indemnitee to comply with his or her obligations 
              under Section 15.4 hereof, then the Indemnitee 
              shall be entitled to indemnification to the extent 
              and in the manner set forth in the Indemnification 
              Request. The Indemnitee may only enforce his or her 
              rights to indemnification, whether pursuant to a 
              determination that the Indemnitee is entitled to 
              indemnification or pursuant to this Section 15.7, 
              in any judicial proceeding brought, at the election 
              of the Indemnitee, in any court having jurisdiction 
              within the State of Delaware, the State of 
              Illinois, or the state in which the Corporation 
              shall then have its principal executive offices. 
              The Indemnitee shall be entitled to all expenses 
              actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in 
              connection with the successful enforcement of the 
              Indemnitee's right to indemnification.

                SECTION 15.8. Appeal of Adverse Determination. In 
              the event that a determination shall be made that 
              the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, 
              in whole or in part, the Indemnitee may only 
              institute an action in any court having 
              jurisdiction within the State of Delaware, the 
              State of Illinois, or the state in which the 
              Corporation shall have its principal executive 
              offices to establish the Indemnitee's right to 
              indemnification. Any such proceeding shall be 
              conducted in all respects as a de novo 
              determination on the merits and any such prior 
              determination made pursuant to these By-laws that 
              the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification 
              shall not constitute a presumption that the 
              Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

                SECTION 15.9. Burden of Proof. In any judicial 
              proceeding regarding the Indemnitee's right or 
              entitlement to indemnification or advancement of 
              expenses, the Corporation shall have the burden of 
              proving that any Indemnitee who is a person 
              referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of Article            
              Eighth of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation       
              is not entitled to indemnification or advancement 
              of expenses as the case may be, subject, however, 
              to principles of res judicata and collateral 
              estoppel relating to prior judicial proceedings to 
              which the Indemnitee is or was a party. In cases in 
              which the Indemnitee is not a person referred to in 
              paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of Article Eighth of the 
              Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the 
              Indemnitee shall have the burden of proving he or 
              she is entitled to indemnification or the 
              advancement of expenses.

                SECTION 15.10. Definition of ``Disinterested 
              Director.'' A Disinterested Director shall mean any 
              director who (i) was not a party to the claim or 
              proceeding with respect to which indemnification is 
              requested; (ii) has not submitted an 
              Indemnification Request or a request for 
              advancement of expenses on his or her own behalf 
              that has not been finally resolved; or (iii) does 
              not have any direct and material financial or other 
              personal interest in the determination of the 
              Indemnification Request.

                SECTION 15.11. Definition of ``Change of Control.'' 
              A Change of Control shall be deemed to have 
              occurred on the earliest of:    

                (a) The receipt by the Corporation of a Schedule 
              13D or other statement filed under Section 13(d) of 
              the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended 
              (the ``Exchange Act''), indicating that any entity, 
              person, or group has acquired beneficial ownership, 
              as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 
              Exchange Act, of more than 30% of the outstanding 
              capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote 
              for the election of directors (``voting stock'');

                                       15
<PAGE>

ARTICLE         (b) The commencement by an entity, person, or group 
  XV          (other than the Corporation or a subsidiary of the 
              Corporation) of a tender offer or an exchange offer 
              for more than 20% of the outstanding voting stock 
              of the Corporation;

                (c) The effective time of (i) a merger or 
              consolidation of the Corporation with one or more 
              other corporations as a result of which the holders 
              of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation 
              immediately prior to such merger or consolidation 
              hold less than 80% of the voting stock of the 
              surviving or resulting corporation, or (ii) a transfer 
              of substantially all of the property of the 
              Corporation other than to an entity of which the 
              Corporation owns at least 80% of the voting stock; or

                (d) The election to the Board of Directors of the 
              Corporation, without the recommendation or approval 
              of the incumbent Board of Directors of the 
              Corporation, of the lesser of (i) three directors 
              or (ii) directors constituting a majority of the 
              number of directors of the Corporation then in 
              office.

                 SECTION 15.12. Advancement of Expenses. Expenses 
              as may be incurred by a person referred to in 
              paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of Article Eighth of the 
              Restated Certificate of Incorporation in defending 
              a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding 
              shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the 
              final disposition of such action, suit or 
              proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on 
              behalf of such person to repay such amount if it 
              shall ultimately be determined that he or she is 
              not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation 
              as authorized in such Article Eighth. Such expenses 
              as may be incurred by other employees and agents 
              may be so paid on such terms and conditions, if 
              any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

              Article Eighth of the Restated Certificate of 
              Incorporation is not entitled to be indemnified by

OTHER PROVISIONS:

     The Northern Trust Company, an Illinois banking corporation (the "Bank"),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to ____________________ or registered
assigns, the principal sum of _________________ United States Dollars on the
Maturity Date specified above and to pay interest thereon from the Original
Issue Date specified above or from the most recent interest payment date to
which interest on this Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) has been
paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year
(unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) (each, an "Interest Payment
Date") and at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable,
commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue
Date (or, if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date and the
Interest Payment Date immediately following such Regular Record Date, on the
second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date), at the Interest
Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or made
available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest
shall be legally enforceable) at such Interest Rate (or the Default Rate per
annum specified above) on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any
overdue installment of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Senior
Note has a maturity of one year or less, interest will be paid only at maturity.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Senior Note
(or any predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the April 1 and October 1
(whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)), as the case may be, next
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity or upon
earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable, will be payable to the person to
whom principal shall be payable.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or
duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on such
Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this
Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of
business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest
(the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by the Bank, notice of which shall be
given to the holders of Senior Notes not less than 10 calendar days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner.

                                      -2-

     Payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior
Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain a paying agent (the "Paying
Agent") authorized by the Bank to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on, this Senior Note on behalf of the Bank and having an office or
agency (the "Paying Agent Office") in The City of New York or the City of
Chicago, Illinois (the "Place of Payment"), where this Senior Note may be
presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations or requests
in respect of payments with respect to this Senior Note may be served.  The Bank
has initially appointed itself as the Paying Agent, with the Paying Agent Office
currently located at 50 South LaSalle Street (Level BB-A), Chicago, Illinois
60675, Attention: Securities Services.

     THIS SENIOR NOTE IS A DIRECT, UNCONDITIONAL, UNSECURED AND UNSUBORDINATED
GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE BANK AND DOES NOT EVIDENCE A DEPOSIT INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.  THIS
SENIOR NOTE RANKS PARI PASSU WITH ALL OTHER UNSECURED AND UNSUBORDINATED
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BANK, EXCEPT DEPOSITS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS THAT ARE SUBJECT
TO A PRIORITY OR PREFERENCE.  UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CLAIMS OF CERTAIN CREDITORS,
INCLUDING HOLDERS OF DEPOSITS IN THE BANK, WOULD BE ENTITLED TO PRIORITY OVER
CLAIMS OF UNSECURED GENERAL CREDITORS OF THE BANK, INCLUDING THE HOLDER OF THIS
SENIOR NOTE, IN THE EVENT OF A LIQUIDATION OR OTHER RESOLUTION OF THE BANK.

     Payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this
Senior Note due at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if
applicable, will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and
surrender of this Senior Note to the Paying Agent at the Paying Agent Office in
the Place of Payment; provided that this Senior Note is presented to the Paying
Agent in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in accordance with its
normal procedures. Payments of interest on this Senior Note (other than at
maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment) will be made by wire transfer
to such account as has been appropriately designated to the Paying Agent by the
person entitled to such payments.

     This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Bank Notes due
from 30 days to fifteen years from date of issue of the Bank (herein called the
"Senior Notes").

     Payments of interest hereon on any Interest Payment Date will include
interest accrued to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date.  Interest hereon
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months,
provided that if this 
  
                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
Senior Note has a maturity of one year or less, interest hereon shall be
computed on the basis of actual days divided by 360.

     If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption
or repayment of this Senior Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the
related payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the
date such payment were due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so
payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date
or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.  "Business Day"
means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which
banking institutions in The City of New York or the City of Chicago, Illinois
generally are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

     This Senior Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so provided on
the face of this Senior Note, this Senior Note may be redeemed by the Bank on
and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof.  If
no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note may
not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.  On and after the Initial Redemption
Date, if any, this Senior Note may be redeemed at any time either in whole or in
part from time to time in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining
principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at
the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with accrued and
unpaid interest hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Senior Note to the
date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), on written notice
given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Bank to the registered holder hereof.  Whenever less than all the
Senior Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the terms of the Senior
Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank.  If less than all the
Senior Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed,
the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Paying Agent by lot
or in any usual manner approved by it.  In the event of redemption of this
Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note for the unredeemed portion hereof
shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

     The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage
specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Senior Note to be
redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if
any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal 
  
                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal
amount.

     This Senior Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder
hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on the Holder's Optional Repayment
Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof.  If no Holder's Optional
Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note will not be so
repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity.  On any Holder's
Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note will be repayable in whole or in part
in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof
will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment
price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued
and unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment.  For this Senior
Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a
Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note must be given, with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, to the Paying Agent
at its offices located at 50 South LaSalle Street (Level BB-A), Chicago,
Illinois  60675,  Attention:  Securities Services, or at such other address
which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Senior Notes,
not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to such Holder's Optional Repayment
Date.  Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be
irrevocable.

     If this Senior Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an Event of
Default with respect to the Senior Notes shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Senior Note may be declared
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided herein.  The "Default
Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of the first day of the
accrual period as determined under Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-
1(e) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by the
daily portion of the original issue discount for each day in such accrual period
ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under Proposed Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1272-1(c) (or successor regulation) under the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Upon payment of (i) the amount of
principal or premium, if any, so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on
any overdue principal and overdue interest or premium, if any, (in each case to
the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all
of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of, and
interest or premium, if any, on, this Senior Note shall terminate.
  
                                      -5-

     In case any Senior Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen and such Senior Note or evidence satisfactory to the Bank of the loss,
theft or destruction thereof (together with indemnity satisfactory to the Bank
and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Bank, a new Senior Note of like tenor will be issued by the
Bank in exchange for the Senior Note so mutilated, or in lieu of the Senior Note
so destroyed or lost or stolen.  All expenses and reasonable charges associated
with procuring the indemnity referred to above and with the preparation,
authentication and delivery of a new Senior Note shall be borne by the holder of
the Senior Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen.  If any Senior Note
which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Senior Note, pay or
authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case
of a mutilated Senior Note) upon compliance by the holder thereof with the
provisions of this paragraph.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, this Senior Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise
in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, officer or director, as
such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor corporation,
either directly or through the Bank 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 part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and
released.

     The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an "Event of
Default" with respect to this Senior Note: (i) default in the payment of any
interest with respect to this Senior Note when due, which continues for 30 days;
(ii) default in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, this
Senior Note when due; (iii) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises of (a) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Bank in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (b) a
decree or order appointing a conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or any other similar official of the Bank, or of
substantially all of the property of the Bank, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of the affairs of the Bank, and the continuance of any such decree
or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for
a period of 60 consecutive days; or (iv) the commencement by the Bank of a
voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, 
  
                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be
adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Bank to the entry of
a decree or order for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case
or proceeding, or the filing by the Bank of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable United States federal or
state law, or the consent by the Bank to the filing of such petition or to the
appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Bank or of
substantially all of the property of the Bank, or the making by the Bank of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by
the Bank in furtherance of any such action. If an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, the holder of this Senior Note may declare the principal
amount of, and accrued interest and premium, if any, on, this Senior Note due
and payable immediately by written notice to the Bank. Upon such declaration and
notice, such principal amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall
become due and payable seven calendar days after such notice. Any Event of
Default with respect to this Senior Note may be waived by the holder hereof.

     No provision of this Senior Note shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note in U.S. dollars at the times,
places and rate herein prescribed.

     The Bank shall cause to be kept at the corporate trust office of the Senior
Note Registrar designated below a register (the register maintained in such
corporate trust office or any other office or agency of the Bank in the Place of
Payment herein referred to as the "Senior Note Register") in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bank shall provide for the
registration of the Senior Notes and of transfers of the Senior Notes.  The Bank
is hereby initially appointed "Senior Note Registrar" for the purpose of
registering the Senior Notes and transfers of the Senior Notes as herein
provided.

     The transfer of this Senior Note is registrable in the Senior Note
Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Bank in the Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank
and the Paying Agent duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of like tenor,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the 
  
                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
designated transferee or transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank
shall not be required to register the transfer of any Senior Note that has been
called for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business
fifteen calendar days before the day of mailing of a notice of such redemption
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of $250,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof.  Each owner of a beneficial interest in this Senior Note is required to
hold a beneficial interest in $250,000 principal amount or any integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof of this Senior Note at all times.

     Prior to due presentment of this Senior Note for registration of transfer,
the Bank, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Bank or the Paying Agent may
treat the person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note be overdue, and neither
the Bank, the Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     All notices to the Bank under this Senior Note shall be in writing and
addressed to the Bank at 50 South LaSalle Street (Level BB-A), Chicago, Illinois
60675, Attention: Securities Services, or to such other address of the Bank as
the Bank may notify the holders of the Senior Notes.

     This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Illinois.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this instrument to be duly
executed.

       The Northern Trust Company, an Illinois banking corporation (the "Bank"),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to __________________________________
________________________________________________, or registered assigns, the
principal sum of _______________________________________________________________
________________________________________ United States Dollars on the Maturity
Date specified above and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date
specified above or from the most recent interest payment date (or, if the
Interest Reset Period specified above is daily or weekly, from, and including,
the day following the most recent Regular Record Date) to which interest on this
Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) has been paid or duly provided for
(each, an "Interest Payment Date"), on the Interest Payment Dates specified
above and at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable,
commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue
Date (or, if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date and the
Interest Payment Date immediately following such Regular Record Date, on the
second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date), at a rate per
annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the first
Interest Reset Date following the Original Issue Date and, on and after such
Interest Reset Date, at the rate determined in accordance with the provisions
set forth herein, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) at the last rate in effect prior to any payment default (or the
Default Rate per annum specified above, if such Default Rate is specified above)
on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any overdue installment of
interest.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Senior
Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the 15th calendar day
(whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)) before such Interest Payment
Date (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof); 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
provided, however, that interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption
or repayment, if applicable, will be payable to the person to whom principal
shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on such Regular Record Date
and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Senior Note (or any
predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of business on a special
record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (the "Special Record
Date") to be fixed by the Bank, notice of which shall be given to the holders of
Senior Notes not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date,
or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner.

       Payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this
Senior Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.  The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain a paying agent
(the "Paying Agent") authorized by the Bank to pay the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note on behalf of the Bank and
having an office or agency (the "Paying Agent Office") in The City of New York
or the City of Chicago, Illinois (the "Place of Payment"), where this Senior
Note may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations
or requests in respect of payments with respect to this Senior Note may be
served.  The Bank has initially appointed itself as such Paying Agent, with the
Paying Agent Office currently located at 50 South LaSalle Street (Level BB-A),
Chicago, Illinois 60675, Attention: Securities Services.

       THIS SENIOR NOTE IS A DIRECT, UNCONDITIONAL, UNSECURED AND UNSUBORDINATED
GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE BANK AND DOES NOT EVIDENCE A DEPOSIT INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.  THIS
SENIOR NOTE RANKS PARI PASSU WITH ALL OTHER UNSECURED AND UNSUBORDINATED
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BANK, EXCEPT DEPOSITS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS THAT ARE SUBJECT
TO A PRIORITY OR PREFERENCE.  UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CLAIMS OF CERTAIN CREDITORS,
INCLUDING HOLDERS OF DEPOSITS IN THE BANK, WOULD BE ENTITLED TO PRIORITY OVER
CLAIMS OF UNSECURED GENERAL CREDITORS OF THE BANK, INCLUDING THE HOLDER OF THIS
SENIOR NOTE, IN THE EVENT OF A LIQUIDATION OR OTHER RESOLUTION OF THE BANK.

       Payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this
Senior Note due at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if
applicable, will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and
surrender of this Senior Note to the Paying Agent at the Paying Agent Office in
the Place of Payment; provided that this Senior Note is presented to the Paying
Agent in time for the Paying Agent to 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
make such payment in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest
on this Senior Note (other than at maturity or upon earlier redemption or
repayment) will be made by wire transfer to such account as has been
appropriately designated to the Paying Agent by the person entitled to such
payments.

       This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Bank Notes
due from 30 days to fifteen years from date of issue of the Bank (herein called
the "Senior Notes").

       Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, if the rate of interest on
this Senior Note resets daily, weekly or monthly the Interest Payment Date for
this Senior Note will be the third Wednesday of each month; if the rate of
interest on this Senior Note resets quarterly, the Interest Payment Date for
this Senior Note will be the third Wednesday of March, June, September and
December of each year; if the rate of interest on this Senior Note resets semi-
annually, the Interest Payment Date for this Senior Note will be the third
Wednesday of each of two months of each year specified on the face hereof that
are six months apart; and if the rate of interest on this Senior Note resets
annually, the Interest Payment Date for this Senior Note will be the third
Wednesday of the month specified on the face hereof.  If any Interest Payment
Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Senior
Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date,
Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment will be the next
succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if the Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such next succeeding Business Day is
in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date
or date of earlier redemption or repayment will be the immediately preceding
Business Day.  "Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and
that is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or the
City of Chicago, Illinois generally are authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close, and with respect to Senior Notes with respect to which
the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, any day on which
dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank
market (a "London Business Day").

       This Senior Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so provided
on the face of this Senior Note, this Senior Note may be redeemed by the Bank on
and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof.  If
no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note may
not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.  On and after the Initial Redemption
Date, if any, this Senior Note may be redeemed at any time either in whole or in
part from time to time in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining
principal 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the
applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with accrued and unpaid
interest hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Senior Note to the date of
redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), on written notice given not
more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Bank to the registered holder hereof. Whenever less than all the Senior Notes at
any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the terms of the Senior Notes to be so
redeemed shall be selected by the Bank. If less than all the Senior Notes with
identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Senior Notes to
be so redeemed shall be selected by the Paying Agent by lot or in any usual
manner approved by it. In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part
only, a new Senior Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the
name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

       The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption
Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Senior
Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial
Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be
redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

       This Senior Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder
hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on the Holder's Optional Repayment
Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof.  If no Holder's Optional
Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note will not be so
repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity.  On any Holder's
Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note will be repayable in whole or in part
in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof
will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment
price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued
and unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment.  For this Senior
Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a
Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note must be given, with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, to the Paying Agent
at its offices located at 50 South LaSalle Street (Level BB-A), Chicago,
Illinois  60675, Attention:  Securities Services, or at such address which the
Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Senior Notes, not more
than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to such Holder's Optional Repayment Date.
Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

       The rate of interest on this Senior Note will be reset daily, weekly,
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (each such period, an "Interest
Reset Period" for this Senior Note, and the first calendar day of an Interest
Reset Period, an "Interest Reset Date"), as specified on the face hereof.
Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, if this Senior Note resets daily,
the Interest Reset Date will be each Business Day; if this Senior Note resets
weekly and the Interest Rate Basis is not the Treasury Rate, the Interest Reset
Date will be the Wednesday of each week; if this Senior Note resets weekly and
the Interest Rate Basis is the Treasury Rate, the Interest Reset Date will be
the Tuesday of each week (except as provided below); if this Senior Note resets
monthly and the Interest Rate Basis is not the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate,
the Interest Reset Date will be the third Wednesday of each month; if this
Senior Note resets monthly and the Interest Rate Basis is the 11th District Cost
of Funds Rate, the Interest Reset Date will be the first calendar day of each
month; if this Senior Note resets quarterly, the Interest Reset Date will be the
third Wednesday of March, June, September and December; if this Senior Note
resets semi-annually, the Interest Reset Date will be the third Wednesday of
each of two months of each year that are six months apart, as specified on the
face hereof; and if this Senior Note resets annually, the Interest Reset Date
will be the third Wednesday of one month of each year, as specified on the face
hereof; provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect from the
Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial
Interest Rate specified on the face hereof, and (ii) the interest rate in effect
for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity or earlier redemption or
repayment of any installment of principal hereof will be the interest rate in
effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such Maturity Date or date of earlier
redemption or repayment, as the case may be.  If any Interest Reset Date with
respect to this Senior Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day,
such Interest Reset Date will be the next succeeding Business Day, except that
in the case that the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR,
if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest
Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

       Except as otherwise specified in this paragraph, the rate of interest on
this Senior Note for each Interest Reset Date shall be the rate determined in
accordance with the provisions set forth under the applicable heading below
corresponding to the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof:

       Commercial Paper Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Senior Note is
the Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date
shall equal the Commercial Paper Rate (as determined below), as adjusted (x) by
the addition 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by
the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face
hereof. "Commercial Paper Rate" means, with respect to any Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date (as defined below), the Money Market Yield
(calculated as described below) of the rate on the relevant Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof as such rate is published by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System in the weekly statistical release entitled
"Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor
publication published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("H.15(519)") under the heading "Commercial Paper". If such rate is not
published prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
pertaining to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, then the
Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield (calculated as described
below) of the rate on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date for
commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as such
rate is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its daily
statistical release entitled "Composite 3:30 P.M. Quotations for U.S. Government
Securities" or any successor publication published by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York ("Composite Quotations") under the heading "Commercial Paper". If
such rate is published in neither H.15(519) nor in Composite Quotations by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, the Commercial Paper Rate
for such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date will be the Money Market
Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York
City time, on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, of three
leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York (which may include
one or more of the Agents (as defined below)) selected by the Calculation Agent
for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
placed for an industrial issuer whose senior unsecured bond rating is "AA", or
the equivalent, from at least two nationally recognized rating agencies;
provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate
determined on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date will be the
Commercial Paper Rate determined on the immediately preceding Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face
hereof.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
       "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield (expressed as a percentage)
calculated in accordance with the following formula:

                                          D x 360
                 Money Market Yield = _______________ x 100
                                       360 - (D x M)

where "D" refers to the per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank
discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and "M" refers to the actual number
of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

       LIBOR.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Senior Note is LIBOR, the
interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal LIBOR (as
determined below), as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of the Spread,
if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by the multiplication by the
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.  LIBOR shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

          (a) With respect to any LIBOR Interest Determination Date (as defined
     below), LIBOR will be either: (i) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the
     face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in U.S.
     dollars having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing
     on the second London Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest
     Determination Date, that appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined
     below) as of 11:00 A.M. London time on such LIBOR Interest Determination
     Date, if at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO
     Page, or (ii) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, the rate
     for deposits in U.S. dollars having the Index Maturity specified on the
     face hereof, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately
     following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, that appears on Telerate
     Page 3750 (as defined below) as of 11:00 A.M. London time, on such LIBOR
     Interest Determination Date.  The "Reuters Screen LIBO Page" means the
     display designated as page "LIBO" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates
     Service (or such other page as may replace the LIBO page on that service
     for purposes of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks).
     "Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated as page 3750 on the Dow
     Jones Telerate Service (or such other page or pages as may replace the 3750
     page on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated
     by the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of displaying London
     interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits).  If neither LIBOR
     Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face hereof, LIBOR will be
     determined as if LIBOR Reuters has been 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
     specified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if fewer than two offered rates
     appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, or no rate appears on Telerate Page
     3750, as applicable, LIBOR in respect of a related LIBOR Interest
     Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the
     rate described in paragraph (b) below.

          (b) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer
     than two offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, as specified
     in paragraph (a)(i) above, or on which no rate appears on Telerate Page
     3750, as specified in paragraph (a)(ii) above, as the case may be, the
     Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four
     major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the
     Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered
     quotation for deposits for the period of the Index Maturity specified on
     the face hereof, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately
     following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the
     London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such
     LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount of not less
     than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such
     market at such time.  If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR
     determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic
     mean of such quotations.  If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR
     determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic
     mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. New York City time on
     such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of
     New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to
     leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face
     hereof, commencing on the second London Business Day following such LIBOR
     Interest Determination Date, and in a principal amount of not less than
     $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market
     at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the
     Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR
     determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR
     determined on the immediately preceding LIBOR Interest Determination Date
     or, in the case of the first LIBOR Interest Determination Date, the Initial
     Interest Rate specified on the face hereof.

     Treasury Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Senior Note is the
Treasury Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal
the Treasury Rate (as determined below) as adjusted (x) by the addition or
subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by
the 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.
"Treasury Rate" means the rate for the most recent auction of direct obligations
of the United States ("Treasury bills") having the Index Maturity specified on
the face hereof, as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the heading "U.S.
Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction Average (Investment)" or, if such
rate is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation
Date, the auction average rate (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of
a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) for such
auction as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury
by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date. If the results of
the auction of Treasury bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof are neither published in H.15(519) nor otherwise published or reported as
provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if
no such auction is held in a particular week, then the Treasury Rate will be
calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity (expressed
as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable,
and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid
rates as of 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Interest
Determination Date (as defined below), of three leading primary United States
government securities dealers in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof or, if there are two
such issues which are equidistant from the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof, then the longer of the two; provided, however, that if the dealers
selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in
this sentence, the Treasury Rate determined on such Treasury Interest
Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate determined on the immediately
preceding Treasury Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first
Treasury Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate specified on the
face hereof.

     CD Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Senior Note is the CD Rate,
the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal the CD Rate (as
determined below), as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of the Spread,
if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by the multiplication by the
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.  "CD Rate" means the
rate on the relevant CD Interest Determination Date (as defined below) for
negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "CDs (Secondary

time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such CD Interest Determination Date,
then the CD Rate will be the rate on such CD Interest

Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in Composite Quotations under
the heading "Certificates of Deposit". If such rate is published neither in
H.15(519) nor in Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such
Calculation Date, the CD Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00
A.M., New York City time, on such CD Interest Determination Date, of three
leading non-bank dealers of negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in
The City of New York (which may include one or more of the Agents) selected by
the Calculation Agent for negotiable certificates of deposit of the four highest
rated banks (as rated by two nationally recognized rating agencies) of the 25
largest United States banks based on the most recent year-end survey published
in The American Banker (or a comparable publication) with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in a denomination of
$5,000,000; provided, however, that, if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate
determined on such CD Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate determined
on the immediately preceding CD Interest Determination Date or, in the case of
the first CD Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate specified on
the face hereof.

     Federal Funds Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Senior Note is the
Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall
equal the Federal Funds Rate (as determined below, as adjusted (x) by the
addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof
and/or (y) by the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on
the face hereof.  "Federal Funds Rate" means the rate on the relevant Federal
Funds Interest Determination Date (as defined below) for Federal Funds having
the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under
the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)".  If such rate is not published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Federal
Funds Interest Determination Date, then the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate
on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date as published in Composite
Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate".  If such rate is
published neither in H.15(519) nor in Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on such Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be
calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the
rates, as of 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date, for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds arranged
by three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in The City of New York
(which may include one or more of the Agents) selected by the Calculation Agent;
provided, however, that if the brokers selected as 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this
sentence, the Federal Funds Rate determined on such Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate determined on the immediately
preceding Federal Funds Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first
Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate specified
on the face hereof.

     Prime Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Senior Note is the Prime
Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal the Prime
Rate (as determined below), as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of
the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by the
multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.
"Prime Rate" means the rate set forth on the relevant Prime Interest
Determination Date (as defined below) in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime
Loan".  If such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on
the Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Interest Determination Date, then
the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that
appears on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime
rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Prime Interest Determination
Date.  If fewer than four such rates but two or more such rates appear on the
Reuters Screen NYMF Page on such Prime Interest Determination Date, the Prime
Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean
of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year
divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Interest
Determination Date by three major money center banks in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent.  If fewer than two such rates appear on the
Reuters Screen NYMF Page, the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation
Agent on the basis of the rates furnished in The City of New York by the
appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, having total
equity capital of at least $500,000,000 and being subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to
provide such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust
companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate determined on such Prime Interest
Determination Date will be the Prime Rate determined on the immediately
preceding Prime Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first Prime
Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face
hereof.  "Reuters Screen NYMF Page" means the display designated as page "NYMF"
on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace
the NYMF page on that service for the purpose of 

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).

     11th District Cost of Funds Rate Notes.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this
Senior Note is the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate, the interest rate hereon
for any Interest Reset Date shall equal the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate (as
determined below), as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of the Spread,
if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by the multiplication by the
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

     "11th District Cost of Funds Rate" means the rate equal to the monthly
weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the
month in which the relevant 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination
Date (as defined below) falls, as set forth under the caption "11th District" on
Telerate Page 7058 (as defined below) as of 11:00 A.M., San Francisco time, on
such 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date.  If such rate does
not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on any related 11th District Cost of Funds
Interest Determination Date, the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate for such 11th
District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted
average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the 11th Federal Home Loan
Bank District that was most recently announced (the "11th District Cost of Funds
Index") by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San
Francisco") as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding
the date of such announcement.  If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce
such rate for the calendar month immediately preceding such 11th District Cost
of Funds Interest Determination Date, then the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate
determined as of such 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date
will be the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate determined on the immediately
preceding 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date or, in the
case of the first 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date, the
Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof.

     "Telerate Page 7058" means the display designated as page "7058" on the Dow
Jones Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace the 7058 page on that
service for the purpose of displaying the monthly weighted average cost of funds
paid by member institutions of the 11th Federal Home Loan Bank District).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be
greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof and
shall not be lower than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face
hereof.  In addition, the interest rate hereon will in no event be higher 

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
 
than the maximum rate permitted by Illinois law, as the same may be modified by
United States law of general application.

     The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain a banking institution as
Calculation Agent hereunder.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the
Bank has initially appointed itself as Calculation Agent.  Upon the request of
the holder of this Senior Note, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest
rate then in effect, and, if different, the interest rate which will become
effective as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest
Determination Date with respect to this Senior Note.

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, all percentages resulting
from any calculation on this Senior Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the
nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths
of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being
rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655) and 9.876544% (or .09876544) being rounded to
9.87654% (or .0987654)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such
calculation on this Senior Note will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-
half cent being rounded upwards).  The interest rate in effect on any Interest
Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such Interest Reset Date.
The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest
Rate).  The Calculation Agent's determination of any interest rate will be final
and binding in the absence of manifest error.

     The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the
rate of interest hereon shall be determined in accordance with the provisions
under the headings above entitled "Commercial Paper Rate" (the "Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date"), "CD Rate" (the "CD Interest Determination Date"),
"Federal Funds Rate" (the "Federal Funds Interest Determination Date") or "Prime
Rate" (the "Prime Interest Determination Date") will be the second Business Day
preceding such Interest Reset Date.  The Interest Determination Date pertaining
to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest hereon shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions under the heading above entitled "11th District
Cost of Funds Rate" (the "11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination
Date") will be the last working day of the month immediately preceding such
Interest Reset Date on which the FHLB of San Francisco publishes the 11th
District Cost of Funds Index.  The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an
Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest hereon shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions under the heading above entitled "LIBOR" (the
"LIBOR Interest Determination Date") will be the second London Business Day
preceding such Interest Reset Date.  The Interest 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest
hereon shall be determined in accordance with the provisions under the heading
above entitled "Treasury Rate" (the "Treasury Interest Determination Date") will
be that day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which
Treasury bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury bills are normally sold at
auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which
case the auction is usually held on the following Tuesday, except that such
auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal
holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the
Treasury Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date
occurring in the next succeeding week. If an auction date shall fall on any
Interest Reset Date for a Senior Note with respect to which the Interest Rate
Basis specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, then such Interest
Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day immediately following such
auction date.

     The Calculation Date pertaining to the Interest Determination Date for any
Senior Note shall be the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination
Date or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day.

     Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date will
include interest accrued from, and including, the Original Issue Date or from,
and including, the last date on which interest has been paid to, but excluding,
such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that, if the Interest Reset
Period with respect to this Senior Note is daily or weekly, the interest payable
on any Interest Payment Date, other than interest payable on any date on which
principal of this Senior Note is payable, will include interest accrued from,
and including, the Original Issue Date or from, but excluding, the last date in
respect of which interest has been paid or made available for payment, as the
case may be, to, and including, the Regular Record Date next preceding such
Interest Payment Date, except that the interest payable at maturity or upon
earlier redemption or repayment will include interest accrued to, but excluding,
the Maturity Date or the date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case
may be.

     Accrued interest on this Senior Note from the Original Issue Date or from
the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided is calculated by
multiplying the face amount of this Senior Note by an accrued interest factor.
Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor
calculated for each day from the Original Issue Date or from the last date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to the
date for which accrued interest is being calculated in the period for which
interest is being 

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
calculated. The interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the
interest rate applicable to such date by 360, in the case that the Interest Rate
Basis specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, LIBOR, CD Rate,
Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or 11th District Cost of Funds Rate, or by the
actual number of days in the year, in the case that the Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate.

     If this Senior Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an Event of
Default with respect to the Senior Notes shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Senior Note may be declared
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided herein.  The "Default
Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of the first day of the
accrual period as determined under Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 
1.1272-1(e) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by
the daily portion of the original issue discount for each day in such accrual
period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under Proposed Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1272-1(c) (or successor regulation) under the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Upon payment of (i) the amount of
principal or premium, if any, so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on
any overdue principal and overdue interest or premium, if any (in each case to
the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all
of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of, and
interest or premium, if any, on, this Senior Note shall terminate.

     In case any Senior Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen and such Senior Note or evidence satisfactory to the Bank of the loss,
theft or destruction thereof (together with indemnity satisfactory to the Bank
and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Bank, a new Senior Note of like tenor will be issued by the
Bank in exchange for the Senior Note so mutilated, or in lieu of the Senior Note
so destroyed or lost or stolen.  All expenses and reasonable charges associated
with procuring the indemnity referred to above and with the preparation,
authentication and delivery of a new Senior Note shall be borne by the holder of
the Senior Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen.  If any Senior Note
which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Senior Note, pay or
authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case
of a mutilated Senior Note) upon compliance by the holder thereof with the
provisions of this paragraph.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
 
     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, this Senior Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise
in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, officer or director, as
such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor corporation,
either directly or through the Bank 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.

     The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an "Event of
Default" with respect to this Senior Note: (i) default in the payment of any
interest with respect to this Senior Note when due, which continues for 30 days;
(ii) default in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, this
Senior Note when due; (iii) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises of (a) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Bank in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (b) a
decree or order appointing a conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or any other similar official of the Bank, or of
substantially all of the property of the Bank, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of the affairs of the Bank, and the continuance of any such decree
or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for
a period of 60 consecutive days; or (iv) the commencement by the Bank of a
voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case
or proceeding to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the
Bank to the entry of a decree or order for relief in an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any
bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding, or the filing by the Bank of a
petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any
applicable United States federal or state law, or the consent by the Bank to the
filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official of the Bank or of substantially all of the property of the Bank, or the
making by the Bank of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking
of corporate action by the Bank in furtherance of any such action.  If an Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing, the holder of this Senior Note may
declare the principal amount of, and accrued interest and premium, if any, on,
this Senior Note due and payable immediately by written notice to the Bank.
Upon such declaration and notice, 

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
 
such principal amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall become due
and payable seven calendar days after such notice. Any Event of Default with
respect to this Senior Note may be waived by the holder hereof.

     No provision of this Senior Note shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal, and
premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note in U.S. dollars at the times,
places and rate herein prescribed.

     The Bank shall cause to be kept at the corporate trust office of the Senior
Note Registrar designated below a register (the register maintained in such
corporate trust office or any other office or agency of the Bank in the Place of
Payment herein referred to as the "Senior Note Register") in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bank shall provide for the
registration of the Senior Notes and of transfers of the Senior Notes.  The Bank
is hereby initially appointed "Senior Note Registrar" for the purposes of
registering the Senior Notes and transfers of the Senior Notes as herein
provided.

     The transfer of this Senior Note is registrable in the Senior Note
Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Bank in the Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank
and the Paying Agent duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of like tenor,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Bank shall not be required to register the transfer of any Senior
Note that has been called for redemption during a period beginning at the
opening of business fifteen calendar days before the date of mailing of a notice
of such redemption and ending at the close of business on the date of such
mailing.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of $250,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof.  Each owner of a beneficial interest in this Senior Note is required to
hold a beneficial interest in $250,000 principal amount or any integral 

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
 
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof of this Senior Note at all times.

     Prior to due presentment of this Senior Note for registration of transfer,
the Bank, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Bank or the Paying Agent may
treat the person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note be overdue, and neither
the Bank, the Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     All notices to the Bank under this Senior Note shall be in writing and
addressed to the Bank at 50 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60675, or to
such other address of the Bank as the Bank may notify the holders of the Senior
Notes.

     This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Illinois.

Co., CS First Boston Corporation, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Lehman Brothers,

be designated as an "Agent" under that certain Amended and Restated Distribution
Agreement, dated September 6, 1995, among the Bank, Northern Trust Corporation

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this instrument to be duly

     The undersigned hereby irrevocably request(s) and instruct(s) the Bank to

OTHER PROVISIONS:

     The Northern Trust Company, an Illinois banking corporation (the "Bank"),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to ____________________ or registered
assigns, the principal sum of _________________ United States Dollars on the
Maturity Date specified above and to pay interest thereon from the Original
Issue Date specified above or from the most recent interest payment date to
which interest on this Subordinated Note (or any predecessor Subordinated Note)
has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of
each year (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) (each, an "Interest
Payment Date") and at maturity or upon earlier redemption, if applicable,
commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue
Date (or, if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date and the
Interest Payment Date immediately following such Regular Record Date, on the
second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date), at the Interest
Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or made
available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest
shall be legally enforceable) at such Interest Rate on any overdue principal and
premium, if any, and on any overdue installment of interest.  The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will be paid to the person in whose name this Subordinated Note (or any
predecessor Subordinated Note) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the April 1 and October 1
(whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)), as the case may be, next
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity or upon
earlier redemption, if applicable, will be payable to the person to whom
principal shall be payable.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on such Regular
Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Subordinated
Note (or any predecessor Subordinated Note) is registered at the close of
business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest
(the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by the Bank, notice of which shall be
given to the holders of Subordinated Notes not less than 10 calendar days 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful
manner.

     Payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this
Subordinated Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.  The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain a paying agent
(the "Paying Agent") authorized by the Bank to pay the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note on behalf of the Bank
and having an office or agency (the "Paying Agent Office") in The City of New
York or the City of Chicago, Illinois (the "Place of Payment"), where this
Subordinated Note may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices,
designations or requests in respect of payments with respect to this
Subordinated Note may be served.  The Bank has initially appointed itself as the
Paying Agent, with the Paying Agent Office currently located at 50 South LaSalle
Street (Level BB-A), Chicago, Illinois 60675, Attention: Securities Services.

     THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE IS A DIRECT, UNCONDITIONAL AND UNSECURED GENERAL
OBLIGATION OF THE BANK,  DOES NOT EVIDENCE A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.  THIS
SUBORDINATED NOTE IS SUBORDINATE TO THE CLAIMS OF DEPOSITORS AND GENERAL
CREDITORS OF THE BANK.

     Payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this
Subordinated Note due at maturity or upon earlier redemption, if applicable,
will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of
this Subordinated Note to the Paying Agent at the Paying Agent Office in the
Place of Payment; provided that this Subordinated Note is presented to the
Paying Agent in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in accordance
with its normal procedures. Payments of interest on this Subordinated Note
(other than at maturity or upon earlier redemption) will be made by wire
transfer to such account as has been appropriately designated to the Paying
Agent by the person entitled to such payments.

     This Subordinated Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Subordinated
Medium-Term Bank Notes due from five to fifteen years from date of issue of the
Bank (herein called the "Subordinated Notes").

     Payments of interest hereon on any Interest Payment Date will include
interest accrued to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date.  Interest hereon
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
    
                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
     If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption
of this Subordinated Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the
related payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the
date such payment were due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so
payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date
or date of earlier redemption, as the case may be. "Business Day" means any day
that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking
institutions in The City of New York or the City of Chicago, Illinois generally
are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

     The indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by this Subordinated Note, including
principal and interest, is unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of
payment to the Bank's obligations to its depositors, its obligations under
bankers' acceptances and letters of credit, and its obligations to its other
creditors (including any obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation), whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred,
other than any obligations which rank on a parity with, or junior to, the
Subordinated Notes.  In the event of any insolvency proceeding, receivership,
conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding-up of the Bank,
whether voluntary or involuntary, all such obligations (except obligations which
rank on a parity with, or junior to, the Subordinated Notes) shall be entitled
to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal
of, or interest on, the Subordinated Notes.  In the event of any such
proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to such prior
obligations, the holders of the Subordinated Notes, together with the holders of
any obligations of the Bank ranking on a parity with the Subordinated Notes,
shall be entitled to be paid, from the remaining assets of the Bank, the unpaid
principal of, and the unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Notes or such other
obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property,
or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations
of the Bank ranking junior to the Subordinated Notes.

     The Subordinated Notes shall rank on a parity with the subordinated note in
the principal amount of $50,000,000, due January 2, 2000, issued by the Bank to
Northern Trust Corporation (the "Corporation"), the subordinated note in the
principal amount of $25,000,000, due July 1, 2002, issued by the Bank to the
Corporation, the $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Subordinated
Notes due 2003 issued by the Bank in 1993, and such other obligations which may
be issued by the Bank which are specifically designated as ranking on a parity
with the 
    
                                      -4-

Subordinated Notes by express provision in the instruments creating or
evidencing such obligations.

     This Subordinated Note will not be subject to any sinking fund.  If so
provided on the face of this Subordinated Note and subject to the approval of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, this Subordinated Note may be redeemed by
the Bank on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face
hereof.  If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this
Subordinated Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.  On and after
the Initial Redemption Date, if any, and subject to the approval of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago, this Subordinated Note may be redeemed at any time
either in whole or in part from time to time in increments of $1,000 (provided
that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the
option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below),
together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon at the applicable rate borne by
this Subordinated Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption
Date"), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Bank to the registered holder hereof.
Whenever less than all the Subordinated Notes at any time outstanding are to be
redeemed, the terms of the Subordinated Notes to be so redeemed shall be
selected by the Bank.  If less than all the Subordinated Notes with identical
terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Subordinated Notes to be
so redeemed shall be selected by the Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner
approved by it.  In the event of redemption of this Subordinated Note in part
only, a new Subordinated Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued
in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

     The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage
specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Subordinated Note
to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption
Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,
if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed
until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

     This Subordinated Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder
hereof prior to maturity.

     If this Subordinated Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an
Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Subordinated
Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided
herein. The "Default Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price 
   
                                      -5-

as of the first day of the accrual period as determined under Proposed Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1272-1(e) (or successor regulation) under the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration
occurs increased by the daily portion of the original issue discount for each
day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined
under Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(c) (or successor regulation)
under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Upon payment
of (i) the amount of principal or premium, if any, so declared due and payable
and (ii) interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest or premium, if
any, (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable), all of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of
the principal of, and interest or premium, if any, on, this Subordinated Note
shall terminate.

     In case any Subordinated Note shall at any time become mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen and such Subordinated Note or evidence satisfactory to
the Bank of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with indemnity
satisfactory to the Bank and such other documents or proof as may be required in
the premises) shall be delivered to the Bank, a new Subordinated Note of like
tenor will be issued by the Bank in exchange for the Subordinated Note so
mutilated, or in lieu of the Subordinated Note so destroyed or lost or stolen.
All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring the indemnity
referred to above and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new
Subordinated Note shall be borne by the holder of the Subordinated Note so
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen.  If any Subordinated Note which has
matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen,
the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Subordinated Note, pay or
authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case
of a mutilated Subordinated Note) upon compliance by the holder thereof with the
provisions of this paragraph.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, this Subordinated Note, for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Bank 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 part of the consideration for the issue hereof,
expressly waived and released.

     An "Event of Default" with respect to this Subordinated Note will occur if
the Bank shall consent to, or a court or other governmental agency shall enter a
decree or order for, the appointment of a receiver or other similar official in
any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Bank or
all or substantially all of its property and, in the case of a decree or order,
such decree or order shall have remained in force for a period of 60 days.  If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the holder of this
Subordinated Note may declare the principal amount of, and accrued interest and
premium, if any, on, this Subordinated Note due and payable immediately by
written notice to the Bank.  Upon such declaration and notice, such principal
amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall become due and payable seven
calendar days after such notice.  Any Event of Default with respect to this
Subordinated Note may be waived by the holder hereof.  NO PAYMENT MAY BE MADE ON
THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE IN THE EVENT OF ACCELERATION RESULTING FROM AN EVENT OF
DEFAULT WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF
CHICAGO.  THERE IS NO RIGHT OF ACCELERATION IN THE CASE OF A DEFAULT IN THE
PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF, OR INTEREST ON, THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE OR IN THE
PERFORMANCE OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION OF THE BANK UNDER THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE OR
UNDER ANY OTHER SECURITY ISSUED BY THE BANK.

     No provision of this Subordinated Note shall alter or impair the obligation
of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note in U.S. dollars at the
times, places and rate herein prescribed.

     The Bank shall cause to be kept at the corporate trust office of the
Subordinated Note Registrar designated below a register (the register maintained
in such corporate trust office or any other office or agency of the Bank in the
Place of Payment herein referred to as the "Subordinated Note Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bank
shall provide for the registration of the Subordinated Notes and of transfers of
the Subordinated Notes.  The Bank is hereby initially appointed "Subordinated
Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering the Subordinated Notes and
transfers of the Subordinated Notes as herein provided.

     The transfer of this Subordinated Note is registrable in the Subordinated
Note Register, upon surrender of this Subordinated Note for registration of
transfer at the office or agency of the Bank in the Place of Payment, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Bank and the Paying Agent duly executed by, the holder
hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Subordinated Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to 
   
                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
the designated transferee or transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Bank shall not be required to register the transfer of any Subordinated Note
that has been called for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of
business fifteen calendar days before the day of mailing of a notice of such
redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The Subordinated Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in minimum denominations of $250,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof.  Each owner of a beneficial interest in this Subordinated Note
is required to hold a beneficial interest in $250,000 principal amount or any
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof of this Subordinated Note at all
times.

     Prior to due presentment of this Subordinated Note for registration of
transfer, the Bank, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Bank or the Paying
Agent may treat the person in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Subordinated Note be
overdue, and neither the Bank, the Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     All notices to the Bank under this Subordinated Note shall be in writing
and addressed to the Bank at 50 South LaSalle Street (Level BB-A), Chicago,
Illinois 60675, Attention: Securities Services, or to such other address of the
Bank as the Bank may notify the holders of the Subordinated Notes.

     This Subordinated Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Illinois.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this instrument to be duly
executed.

       The Northern Trust Company, an Illinois banking corporation (the "Bank"),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to __________________________________
________________________________________________, or registered assigns, the
principal sum of _______________________________________________________________
________________________________________ United States Dollars on the Maturity
Date specified above and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date
specified above or from the most recent interest payment date (or, if the
Interest Reset Period specified above is daily or weekly, from, and including,
the day following the most recent Regular Record Date) to which interest on this
Subordinated Note (or any predecessor Subordinated Note) has been paid or duly
provided for (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), on the Interest Payment Dates
specified above and at maturity or upon earlier redemption, if applicable,
commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue
Date (or, if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date and the
Interest Payment Date immediately following such Regular Record Date, on the
second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date), at a rate per
annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the first
Interest Reset Date following the Original Issue Date and, on and after such
Interest Reset Date, at the rate determined in accordance with the provisions
set forth herein, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for
payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) at the last rate in effect prior to any payment default on any
overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any overdue installment of
interest.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this
Subordinated Note (or any predecessor Subordinated Note) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be
the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)) before
such Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof);
provided, however, that 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption, if applicable, will be
payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not
so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to
the holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in
whose name this Subordinated Note (or any predecessor Subordinated Note) is
registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of
such defaulted interest (the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by the Bank,
notice of which shall be given to the holders of Subordinated Notes not less
than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time
in any other lawful manner.

       Payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this
Subordinated Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.  The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain a paying agent
(the "Paying Agent") authorized by the Bank to pay the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note on behalf of the Bank
and having an office or agency (the "Paying Agent Office") in The City of New
York or the City of Chicago, Illinois (the "Place of Payment"), where this
Subordinated Note may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices,
designations or requests in respect of payments with respect to this
Subordinated Note may be served.  The Bank has initially appointed itself as
such Paying Agent, with the Paying Agent Office currently located at 50 South
LaSalle Street (Level BB-A), Chicago, Illinois 60675, Attention: Securities
Services.

       THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE IS A DIRECT, UNCONDITIONAL AND UNSECURED GENERAL
OBLIGATION OF THE BANK, DOES NOT EVIDENCE A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.  THIS
SUBORDINATED NOTE IS SUBORDINATE TO THE CLAIMS OF DEPOSITORS AND GENERAL
CREDITORS OF THE BANK.

       Payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this
Subordinated Note due at maturity or upon earlier redemption, if applicable,
will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of
this Subordinated Note to the Paying Agent at the Paying Agent Office in the
Place of Payment; provided that this Subordinated Note is presented to the
Paying Agent in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in accordance
with its normal procedures. Payments of interest on this Subordinated Note
(other than at maturity or upon earlier redemption) will be made by wire
transfer to such account as has been appropriately designated to the Paying
Agent by the person entitled to such payments.

                                      -3-

       This Subordinated Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Subordinated
Medium-Term Bank Notes due from five to fifteen years from date of issue of the
Bank (herein called the "Subordinated Notes").

       Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, if the rate of interest on
this Subordinated Note resets daily, weekly or monthly, the Interest Payment
Date for this Subordinated Note will be the third Wednesday of each month; if
the rate of interest on this Subordinated Note resets quarterly, the Interest
Payment Date for this Subordinated Note will be the third Wednesday of March,
June, September and December of each year; if the rate of interest on this
Subordinated Note resets semi-annually, the Interest Payment Date for this
Subordinated Note will be the third Wednesday of each of two months of each year
specified on the face hereof that are six months apart; and if the rate of
interest on this Subordinated Note resets annually, the Interest Payment Date
for this Subordinated Note will be the third Wednesday of the month specified on
the face hereof.  If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier
redemption of this Subordinated Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day,
such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption will be
the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that, if the Interest Rate
Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such next succeeding Business
Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date,
Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption will be the immediately preceding
Business Day.  "Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and
that is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or the
City of Chicago, Illinois generally are authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close, and with respect to Subordinated Notes with respect to
which the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, any day on
which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London
interbank market (a "London Business Day").

       The indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by this Subordinated Note,
including principal and interest, is unsecured and subordinate and junior in
right of payment to the Bank's obligations to its depositors, its obligations
under bankers' acceptances and letters of credit, and its obligations to its
other creditors (including any obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), whether now outstanding or hereafter
incurred, other than any obligations which rank on a parity with, or junior to,
the Subordinated Notes.  In the event of any insolvency proceeding,
receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding-
up of the Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such obligations (except
obligations which rank 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
on a parity with, or junior to, the Subordinated Notes) shall be entitled to be
paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of, or
interest on, the Subordinated Notes. In the event of any such proceeding, after
payment in full of all sums owing with respect to such prior obligations, the
holders of the Subordinated Notes, together with the holders of any obligations
of the Bank ranking on a parity with the Subordinated Notes, shall be entitled
to be paid, from the remaining assets of the Bank, the unpaid principal of, and
the unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Notes or such other obligations before
any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property, or otherwise,
shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Bank
ranking junior to the Subordinated Notes.

       The Subordinated Notes shall rank on a parity with the subordinated note
in the principal amount of $50,000,000, due January 2, 2000, issued by the Bank
to Northern Trust Corporation (the "Corporation"), the subordinated note in the
principal amount of $25,000,000, due July 1, 2002, issued by the Bank to the
Corporation, the $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Subordinated
Notes due 2003 issued by the Bank in 1993, and such other obligations which may
be issued by the Bank which are specifically designated as ranking on a parity
with the Subordinated Notes by express provision in the instruments creating or
evidencing such obligations.

       This Subordinated Note will not be subject to any sinking fund.  If so
provided on the face of this Subordinated Note and subject to the approval of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, this Subordinated Note may be redeemed by
the Bank on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face
hereof.  If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this
Subordinated Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.  On and after
the Initial Redemption Date, if any, and subject to the approval of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago, this Subordinated Note may be redeemed at any time
either in whole or in part from time to time in increments of $1,000 (provided
that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the
option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below),
together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon at the applicable rate borne by
this Subordinated Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption
Date"), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Bank to the registered holder hereof.
Whenever less than all the Subordinated Notes at any time outstanding are to be
redeemed, the terms of the Subordinated Notes to be so redeemed shall be
selected by the Bank. If less than all the Subordinated Notes with identical
terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Subordinated Notes to be
so redeemed shall be selected by the 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. In the event of
redemption of this Subordinated Note in part only, a new Subordinated Note for
the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof
upon the surrender hereof.

       The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption
Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this
Subordinated Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the
Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption
Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal
amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal
amount.

       This Subordinated Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder
hereof prior to maturity.

       The rate of interest on this Subordinated Note will be reset daily,
weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (each such period, an
"Interest Reset Period" for this Subordinated Note, and the first calendar day
of an Interest Reset Period, an "Interest Reset Date"), as specified on the face
hereof.  Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, if this Subordinated
Note resets daily, the Interest Reset Date will be each Business Day; if this
Subordinated Note resets weekly and the Interest Rate Basis is not the Treasury
Rate, the Interest Reset Date will be the Wednesday of each week; if this
Subordinated Note resets weekly and the Interest Rate Basis is the Treasury
Rate, the Interest Reset Date will be the Tuesday of each week (except as
provided below); if this Subordinated Note resets monthly and the Interest Rate
Basis is not the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate, the Interest Reset Date will
be the third Wednesday of each month; if this Subordinated Note resets monthly
and the Interest Rate Basis is the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate, the
Interest Reset Date will be the first calendar day of each month; if this
Subordinated Note resets quarterly, the Interest Reset Date will be the third
Wednesday of March, June, September and December; if this Subordinated Note
resets semi-annually, the Interest Reset Date will be the third Wednesday of
each of two months of each year which are six months apart, as specified on the
face hereof; and if this Subordinated Note resets annually, the Interest Reset
Date will be the third Wednesday of one month of each year, as specified on the
face hereof; provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect from the
Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial
Interest Rate specified on the face hereof, and (ii) the interest rate in effect
for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity or earlier redemption
hereof will be the interest rate in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding
such Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption, as 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
the case may be. If any Interest Reset Date with respect to this Subordinated
Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset
Date will be the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the case that the
Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, if such Business Day
is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date will be the
immediately preceding Business Day.

       Except as otherwise specified in this paragraph, the rate of interest on
this Subordinated Note for each Interest Reset Date shall be the rate determined
in accordance with the provisions set forth under the applicable heading below
corresponding to the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof:

       Commercial Paper Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Subordinated
Note is the Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest
Reset Date shall equal the Commercial Paper Rate (as determined below), as
adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on
the face hereof and/or (y) by the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if
any, specified on the face hereof.  "Commercial Paper Rate" means, with respect
to any Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date (as defined below), the
Money Market Yield (calculated as described below) of the rate on the relevant
Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the
Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as such rate is published by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the weekly statistical
release entitled "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any
successor publication published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System ("H.15(519)") under the heading "Commercial Paper".  If such rate is not
published prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
pertaining to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, then the
Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield (calculated as described
below) of the rate on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date for
commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as such
rate is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its daily
statistical release entitled "Composite 3:30 P.M. Quotations for U.S. Government
Securities" or any successor publication published by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York ("Composite Quotations") under the heading "Commercial Paper".  If
such rate is published in neither H.15(519) nor in Composite Quotations by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, the Commercial Paper Rate
for such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date will be the Money Market
Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York
City time, on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, of three
leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York (which may include
one or more of the Agents (as defined below)) selected by the 

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on
the face hereof placed for an industrial issuer whose senior unsecured bond
rating is "AA", or the equivalent, from at least two nationally recognized
rating agencies; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by
the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the
Commercial Paper Rate determined on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination
Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate determined on the immediately preceding
Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first
Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate
specified on the face hereof.

       "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield (expressed as a percentage)
calculated in accordance with the following formula:

                                          D x 360
                 Money Market Yield = _______________ x 100
                                       360 - (D x M)

where "D" refers to the per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank
discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and "M" refers to the actual number
of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

       LIBOR.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Subordinated Note is LIBOR,
the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal LIBOR (as
determined below), as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of the Spread,
if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by the multiplication by the
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.  LIBOR shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

          (a) With respect to any LIBOR Interest Determination Date (as defined
     below), LIBOR will be either: (i) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the
     face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in U.S.
     dollars having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing
     on the second London Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest
     Determination Date, that appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined
     below) as of 11:00 A.M. London time on such LIBOR Interest Determination
     Date, if at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO
     Page, or (ii) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, the rate
     for deposits in U.S. dollars having the Index Maturity specified on the
     face hereof, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately
     following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, that appears on Telerate
     Page 3750 (as defined below) as of 11:00 A.M. London time, on such LIBOR
     Interest 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
     Determination Date. The "Reuters Screen LIBO Page" means the display
     designated as page "LIBO" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or
     such other page as may replace the LIBO page on that service for purposes
     of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks). "Telerate
     Page 3750" means the display designated as page 3750 on the Dow Jones
     Telerate Service (or such other page or pages as may replace the 3750 page
     on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated by
     the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of displaying London
     interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If neither LIBOR Reuters
     nor LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face hereof, LIBOR will be
     determined as if LIBOR Reuters has been specified. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, if fewer than two offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen
     LIBO Page, or no rate appears on Telerate Page 3750, as applicable, LIBOR
     in respect of a related LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be
     determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in paragraph
     (b) below.

          (b) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer
     than two offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, as specified
     in paragraph (a)(i) above, or on which no rate appears on Telerate Page
     3750, as specified in paragraph (a)(ii) above, as the case may be, the
     Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four
     major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the
     Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered
     quotation for deposits for the period of the Index Maturity specified on
     the face hereof, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately
     following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the
     London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such
     LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount of not less
     than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such
     market at such time.  If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR
     determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic
     mean of such quotations.  If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR
     determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic
     mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. New York City time on
     such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of
     New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to
     leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face
     hereof, commencing on the second London Business Day following such LIBOR
     Interest Determination Date, and in a principal amount of not less than
     $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market
     at such time; provided, however, 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
     that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
     mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest
     Determination Date will be LIBOR determined on the immediately preceding
     LIBOR Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first LIBOR
     Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate specified on the
     face hereof.

     Treasury Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Subordinated Note is the
Treasury Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal
the Treasury Rate (as determined below) as adjusted (x) by the addition or
subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by
the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face
hereof.  "Treasury Rate" means the rate for the most recent auction of direct
obligations of the United States ("Treasury bills") having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof, as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the
heading "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction Average (Investment)"
or, if such rate is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
Calculation Date, the auction average rate (expressed as a bond equivalent, on
the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily
basis) for such auction as otherwise announced by the United States Department
of the Treasury by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date.  If
the results of the auction of Treasury bills having the Index Maturity specified
on the face hereof are neither published in H.15(519) nor otherwise published or
reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation
Date, or if no such auction is held in a particular week, then the Treasury Rate
will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity
(expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market bid rates as of 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury
Interest Determination Date (as defined below), of three leading primary United
States government securities dealers in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof or, if there are two
such issues which are equidistant from the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof, then the longer of the two; provided, however, that if the dealers
selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in
this sentence, the Treasury Rate determined on such Treasury Interest
Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate determined on the immediately
preceding Treasury Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first
Treasury Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate specified on the
face hereof.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
     CD Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Subordinated Note is the CD
Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal the CD
Rate (as determined below), as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of
the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by the
multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.
"CD Rate" means the rate on the relevant CD Interest Determination Date (as
defined below) for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "CDs
(Secondary Market)".  If such rate is not so published before 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such CD Interest
Determination Date, then the CD Rate will be the rate on such CD Interest
Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in Composite Quotations under
the heading "Certificates of Deposit".  If such rate is published neither in
H.15(519) nor in Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such
Calculation Date, the CD Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00
A.M., New York City time, on such CD Interest Determination Date, of three
leading non-bank dealers of negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in
The City of New York (which may include one or more of the Agents) selected by
the Calculation Agent for negotiable certificates of deposit of the four highest
rated banks (as rated by two nationally recognized rating agencies) of the 25
largest United States banks based on the most recent year-end survey published
in The American Banker (or a comparable publication) with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in a denomination of
$5,000,000; provided, however, that, if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate
determined on such CD Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate determined
on the immediately preceding CD Interest Determination Date or, in the case of
the first CD Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest Rate specified on
the face hereof.

     Federal Funds Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Subordinated Note
is the Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date
shall equal the Federal Funds Rate (as determined below, as adjusted (x) by the
addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof
and/or (y) by the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on
the face hereof.  "Federal Funds Rate" means the rate on the relevant Federal
Funds Interest Determination Date (as defined below) for Federal Funds having
the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under
the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)".  If such rate is not published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
Calculation Date pertaining to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date,
then the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading
"Federal Funds/Effective Rate". If such rate is published neither in H.15(519)
nor in Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such
Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates, as of 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, for the last
transaction in overnight Federal Funds arranged by three leading brokers of
Federal Funds transactions in The City of New York (which may include one or
more of the Agents) selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that
if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate determined on such Federal
Funds Interest Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate determined on
the immediately preceding Federal Funds Interest Determination Date or, in the
case of the first Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, the Initial
Interest Rate specified on the face hereof.

     Prime Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this Subordinated Note is the
Prime Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal the
Prime Rate (as determined below), as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction
of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by the
multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.
"Prime Rate" means the rate set forth on the relevant Prime Interest
Determination Date (as defined below) in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime
Loan".  If such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on
the Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Interest Determination Date, then
the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that
appears on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime
rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Prime Interest Determination
Date.  If fewer than four such rates but two or more such rates appear on the
Reuters Screen NYMF Page on such Prime Interest Determination Date, the Prime
Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean
of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year
divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Interest
Determination Date by three major money center banks in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent.  If fewer than two such rates appear on the
Reuters Screen NYMF Page, the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation
Agent on the basis of the rates furnished in The City of New York by the
appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing
business under the laws of 

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
the United States, or any State thereof, having total equity capital of at least
$500,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to provide such rate or rates;
provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by
the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime
Rate determined on such Prime Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate
determined on the immediately preceding Prime Interest Determination Date or, in
the case of the first Prime Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest
Rate specified on the face hereof. "Reuters Screen NYMF Page" means the display
designated as page "NYMF" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such
other page as may replace the NYMF page on that service for the purpose of
displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).

     11th District Cost of Funds Rate Notes.  If the Interest Rate Basis of this
Subordinated Note is the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate, the interest rate
hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal the 11th District Cost of Funds
Rate (as determined below), as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of
the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and/or (y) by the
multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

     "11th District Cost of Funds Rate" means the rate equal to the monthly
weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the
month in which the relevant 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination
Date (as defined below) falls, as set forth under the caption "11th District" on
Telerate Page 7058 (as defined below) as of 11:00 A.M., San Francisco time, on
such 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date.  If such rate does
not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on any related 11th District Cost of Funds
Interest Determination Date, the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate for such 11th
District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted
average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the 11th Federal Home Loan
Bank District that was most recently announced (the "11th District Cost of Funds
Index") by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San
Francisco") as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding
the date of such announcement.  If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce
such rate for the calendar month immediately preceding such 11th District Cost
of Funds Interest Determination Date, then the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate
determined as of such 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date
will be the 11th District Cost of Funds Rate determined on the immediately
preceding 11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date or, in the
case of the first 

                                      -13-

11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date, the Initial Interest
Rate specified on the face hereof.

     "Telerate Page 7058" means the display designated as page "7058" on the Dow
Jones Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace the 7058 page on that
service for the purpose of displaying the monthly weighted average cost of funds
paid by member institutions of the 11th Federal Home Loan Bank District).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be
greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof and
shall not be lower than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face
hereof.  In addition, the interest rate hereon will in no event be higher than
the maximum rate permitted by Illinois law, as the same may be modified by
United States law of general application.

     The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain a banking institution as
Calculation Agent hereunder.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the
Bank has initially appointed itself as Calculation Agent.  Upon the request of
the holder of this Subordinated Note, the Calculation Agent will provide the
interest rate then in effect, and, if different, the interest rate which will
become effective as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest
Determination Date with respect to this Subordinated Note.

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, all percentages resulting
from any calculation on this Subordinated Note will be rounded, if necessary, to
the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-
millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545)
being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655) and 9.876544% (or .09876544) being
rounded to 9.87654% (or .0987654)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting
from such calculation on this Subordinated Note will be rounded to the nearest
cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).  The interest rate in effect on
any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such Interest
Reset Date.  The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate
from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial
Interest Rate).  The Calculation Agent's determination of any interest rate will
be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.

     The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the
rate of interest hereon shall be determined in accordance with the provisions
under the headings above entitled "Commercial Paper Rate" (the "Commercial Paper
Interest Determination Date"), "CD Rate" (the "CD Interest Determination Date"),
"Federal Funds Rate" (the "Federal Funds Interest Determination Date") or "Prime
Rate" (the "Prime Interest 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
Determination Date") will be the second Business Day preceding such Interest
Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date
if the rate of interest hereon shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions under the heading above entitled "11th District Cost of Funds Rate"
(the "11th District Cost of Funds Interest Determination Date") will be the last
working day of the month immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date on which
the FHLB of San Francisco publishes the 11th District Cost of Funds Index. The
Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of
interest hereon shall be determined in accordance with the provisions under the
heading above entitled "LIBOR" (the "LIBOR Interest Determination Date") will be
the second London Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest
Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest
hereon shall be determined in accordance with the provisions under the heading
above entitled "Treasury Rate" (the "Treasury Interest Determination Date") will
be that day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which
Treasury bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury bills are normally sold at
auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which
case the auction is usually held on the following Tuesday, except that such
auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal
holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the
Treasury Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date
occurring in the next succeeding week. If an auction date shall fall on any
Interest Reset Date for a Subordinated Note with respect to which the Interest
Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, then such Interest
Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day immediately following such
auction date.

     The Calculation Date pertaining to the Interest Determination Date for any
Subordinated Note shall be the tenth calendar day after such Interest
Determination Date or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day.

     Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date will
include interest accrued from, and including, the Original Issue Date or from,
and including, the last date on which interest has been paid to, but excluding,
such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that, if the Interest Reset
Period with respect to this Subordinated Note is daily or weekly, the interest
payable on any Interest Payment Date, other than interest payable on any date on
which principal of this Subordinated Note is payable, will include interest
accrued from, and including, the Original Issue Date or from, but excluding, the
last date in respect of which interest has been paid or made available for
payment, as the case may be, to, and including, the Regular Record Date next
preceding such Interest Payment Date, 

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
except that the interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption will
include interest accrued to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or the date of
earlier redemption, as the case may be.

     Accrued interest on this Subordinated Note from the Original Issue Date or
from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided is
calculated by multiplying the face amount of this Subordinated Note by an
accrued interest factor.  Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the
interest factor calculated for each day from the Original Issue Date or from the
last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may
be, to the date for which accrued interest is being calculated in the period for
which interest is being calculated.  The interest factor for each such day is
computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such date by 360, in the
case that the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the Commercial
Paper Rate, LIBOR, CD Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or 11th District Cost
of Funds Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case that the
Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate.

     If this Subordinated Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an
Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Subordinated
Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided
herein. The "Default Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of
the first day of the accrual period as determined under Proposed Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1272-1(e) (or successor regulation) under the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration
occurs increased by the daily portion of the original issue discount for each
day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined
under Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(c) (or successor regulation)
under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Upon payment
of (i) the amount of principal or premium, if any, so declared due and payable
and (ii) interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest or premium, if
any (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable), all of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of
the principal of, and interest or premium, if any, on, this Subordinated Note
shall terminate.

     In case any Subordinated Note shall at any time become mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen and such Subordinated Note or evidence satisfactory to
the Bank of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with indemnity
satisfactory to the Bank and such other documents or proof as may be required in
the premises) shall be delivered to the Bank, a new Subordinated Note 

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
 
of like tenor will be issued by the Bank in exchange for the Subordinated Note
so mutilated, or in lieu of the Subordinated Note so destroyed or lost or
stolen. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring the
indemnity referred to above and with the preparation, authentication and
delivery of a new Subordinated Note shall be borne by the holder of the
Subordinated Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen. If any Subordinated
Note which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Subordinated Note,
pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in
the case of a mutilated Subordinated Note) upon compliance by the holder thereof
with the provisions of this paragraph.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, this Subordinated Note, for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Bank 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.

      An "Event of Default" with respect to this Subordinated Note will occur if
the Bank shall consent to, or a court or other governmental agency shall enter a
decree or order for, the appointment of a receiver or other similar official in
any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Bank or
all or substantially all of its property and, in the case of a decree or order,
such decree or order shall have remained in force for a period of 60 days.  If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the holder of this
Subordinated Note may declare the principal amount of, and accrued interest and
premium, if any, on, this Subordinated Note due and payable immediately by
written notice to the Bank.  Upon such declaration and notice, such principal
amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall become due and payable seven
calendar days after such notice.  Any Event of Default with respect to this
Subordinated Note may be waived by the holder hereof.  NO PAYMENT MAY BE MADE ON
THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE IN THE EVENT OF ACCELERATION RESULTING FROM AN EVENT OF
DEFAULT WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF
CHICAGO.  THERE IS NO RIGHT OF ACCELERATION IN THE CASE OF A DEFAULT IN THE
PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF, OR INTEREST ON, THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE OR IN THE
PERFORMANCE OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION OF THE BANK UNDER THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE OR
UNDER ANY OTHER SECURITY ISSUED BY THE BANK.

                                      -17-

     No provision of this Subordinated Note shall alter or impair the obligation
of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal, and
premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note in U.S. dollars at the
times, places and rate herein prescribed.

     The Bank shall cause to be kept at the corporate trust office of the
Subordinated Note Registrar designated below a register (the register maintained
in such corporate trust office or any other office or agency of the Bank in the
Place of Payment herein referred to as the "Subordinated Note Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bank
shall provide for the registration of the Subordinated Notes and of transfers of
the Subordinated Notes.  The Bank is hereby initially appointed "Subordinated
Note Registrar" for the purposes of registering the Subordinated Notes and
transfers of the Subordinated Notes as herein provided.

     The transfer of this Subordinated Note is registrable in the Subordinated
Note Register, upon surrender of this Subordinated Note for registration of
transfer at the office or agency of the Bank in the Place of Payment, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Bank and the Paying Agent duly executed by, the holder
hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Subordinated Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall not be required to
register the transfer of any Subordinated Note that has been called for
redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen calendar
days before the day of mailing of a notice of such redemption and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The Subordinated Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in minimum denominations of $250,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof.  Each owner of a beneficial interest in this Subordinated Note
is required to hold a beneficial interest in $250,000 principal amount or any
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof of this Subordinated Note at all
times.

     Prior to due presentment of this Subordinated Note for registration of
transfer, the Bank, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Bank or the Paying
Agent may treat the person in whose 

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
 
name this Subordinated Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this Subordinated Note be overdue, and neither the Bank, the
Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     All notices to the Bank under this Subordinated Note shall be in writing
and addressed to the Bank at 50 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60675,
or to such other address of the Bank as the Bank may notify the holders of the
Subordinated Notes.

     This Subordinated Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Illinois.

     As used in this Subordinated Note, the term "Agents" shall mean Goldman,
Sachs & Co., CS First Boston Corporation, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Lehman
Brothers, Lehman Brothers Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce
Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and any other person, firm or entity which shall
hereafter be designated as an "Agent" under that certain Amended and Restated
Distribution Agreement, dated September 6, 1995, among the Bank, Northern Trust
Corporation and the Agents (as hereinabove defined).

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this instrument to be duly
executed.
