EXHIBIT 1

McDONALD'S CORPORATION

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

To the Representatives named in Schedule I hereto of the Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto

Dear Sirs:

1. Introductory. McDonald's Corporation (the `` Company''), a Delaware corporation, proposes to sell to the underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the ``Underwriters''), for whom you are acting as representatives (the ``Representatives'', which term may refer to a single Representative if so indicated on Schedule I hereto), the principal amount of its securities identified in Schedule I hereto (the ``Securities''), to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of October 19, 1996 as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1 to be dated as of January 8, 1998 (collectively, the ``Indenture''), between th e Company and First Union National Bank, as trustee (the ``Trustee''). (If the firm or firms listed in Schedule II hereto include only the firm or firms listed in Schedule I hereto, then the terms ``Underwriters'' and ``Representatives,'' as used herein, shall each be deemed to refer to such firm or firms.)

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each of the Underwriters that:

(a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ``Securities Act '') (File No. 333-14141), which has become effective, for the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities. Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(i) under the Securities Act and complies in all other material respects with said Rule. The Company proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) or (b)(5) under the Securities Act a supplement to the form of prospectus included in registration statement File No. 333-14141 relating to the Securities and the plan of distribution thereof or, if the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 under the Securities Act, a Term Sheet (as such term is hereinafter defined) relating to the Securities that shall contain such information as is required or permitted by Rules 434 and 424(b) under the Securities Act. The registration statement File No. 333-14141, including the exhibits thereto, is hereinafter called the ``Registration Statement; '' the prospectus in the form in which it appears in registration statement File No. 333-14141, is hereinafter called the ``Basic Prospectus;'' and such supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) or
(b)(5) (including the Basic Prospectus as so supplemented) or, if the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 under the Securities Act, in the form of the Term Sheet as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) (together with the Basic Prospectus), is hereinafter called the ``Final Prospectus. '' Any preliminary form of the Final Prospectus which has heretofore been filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) is hereinafter called the ``Preliminary Final Prospectus. '' Any abbreviated term sheet that satisfies the requirements of Rule 434 under the Securities Act is hereinafter called the ``Term Sheet. '' Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Exchange Act '') on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms ``amend,'' ``amendment'' or ``supplement'' with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

(b) As of the date hereof, when the Final Prospectus is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, when, prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), any amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective (including the filing of any document incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), when any supplement to the Final Prospectus is filed with the Commission and at the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), (i) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, and the Indenture will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the ``Trust Indenture Act'') and the Exchange Act and the respective rules and regulations thereunder and (ii) neither the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, nor the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee, (ii) information, if any, contained in the Registration Statement or Final Prospectus relating to the Depository Trust Company ( ``DTC'') and its book-entry system, or (iii) the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus.

(c) The financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries included in the Registration Statement fairly present the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of operations and cash flow for the periods therein specified; and said financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as otherwise stated therein. As used herein, ``consolidated subsidiaries'' means each subsidiary of the Company which is included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company contained in its annual report to shareholders for 1996 in accordance with the consolidation policies set forth therein or which would have been so included if it had been a subsidiary of the Company as of the date of such consolidated financial statements, and each other subsidiary of the Company which is included in consolidated financial statements of the Company prepared from time to time thereafter.

(d) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus and prior to the Closing Date hereinafter mentioned, except as set forth or contemplated in the Final Prospectus, (1) neither the Company nor any of its consolidated subsidiaries has entered into any transaction not in the ordinary course of business which is material to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, considered as a whole, (2) there has been no material adverse change in the properties, business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, considered as a whole, and (3) no legal or governmental proceeding, which has or will have materially affected the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries, considered as a whole, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has been or will have been instituted or threatened.

(e) The Company and each of its Significant Subsidiaries (herein defined to mean the list of the Company's domestic and foreign subsidiaries appearing in Exhibit 21 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996) have been duly incorporated and are validly existing as corporations in good standing under the laws of their respective states or jurisdictions of incorporation, with corporate power and authority to own their properties and to conduct their business as described in the Basic Prospectus and Final Prospectus. The Company and each of its Significant Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business as foreign corporations and are in good standing in all states or jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of real property or the conduct of business requires such qualifications, except where failure to be so qualified cannot be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, considered as a whole. The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Significant Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly through one or more Significant Subsidiaries (except McDonald's Development Italy, Inc., McDonald's Properties (Australia) Pty., Ltd., McDonald's Development Italia S.p.A, McDonald's Restaurants (Swisse) S.A. and McDonald's Australia Limited, of which the Company directly or indirectly owns a majority of the capital stock), and all of such shares of the Significant Subsidiaries are owned free and clear of any liens, charges and encumbrances.

(f) The consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will not
(i) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company as presently in effect or (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party, or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, except such conflicts, breaches or defaults referred to in this subclause (ii) which would not materially and adversely affect the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries considered as a whole.

(g) The Securities have been duly and validly authorized and, when issued, authenticated and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and this Agreement, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights and general principles of equity, and will conform to the description thereof contained in the Final Prospectus. The Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company and will be a valid and legal instrument enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights and general principles of equity. The Indenture is duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

3. Sale, Purchase and Delivery of Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly (unless otherwise indicated on Schedule I hereto), agrees to purchase from the Company, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto, the principal amount of the Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in Schedule II hereto, except that, if Schedule I hereto provides for the sale of Securities pursuant to delayed delivery arrangements, the respective principal amounts of Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be as set forth in Schedule II hereto, less the respective amounts of Contract Securities determined as provided below. Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters are herein sometimes called the ``Underwriters' Securities'' and Securities to be purchased pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts as hereinafter provided are herein called ``Contract Securities''.

If so provided in Schedule I hereto, the Underwriters are authorized to solicit offers to purchase Securities from the Company pursuant to delayed delivery contracts (``Delayed Delivery Contracts''), substantially in the form of Schedule III hereto but with such changes therein as the Company may authorize or approve. The Underwriters will endeavor to make such arrangements and, as compensation therefor, the Company will pay to the Representatives, for the account of the Underwriters, on the Closing Date, the percentage set forth in Schedule I hereto of the principal amount of the Securities for which Delayed Delivery Contracts are made. Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors, including commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. The Company will make Delayed Delivery Contracts in all cases where sales of Contract Securities arranged by the Underwriters have been approved by the Company but, except as the Company may otherwise agree, each such Delayed Delivery Contract must be for not less than the minimum principal amount set forth in Schedule I hereto and the aggregate principal amount of Contract Securities may not exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount set forth in Schedule I hereto. The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts. The principal amount of Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter as set forth in Schedule II hereto shall be reduced by an amount which shall bear the same proportion to the total principal amount of Contract Securities as the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the aggregate principal amount set forth in Schedule II hereto, except to the extent that you determine that such reduction shall be otherwise than in such proportion and so advise the Company in writing; provided, however, that the total principal amount of Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the aggregate principal amount set forth in Schedule II hereto, less the aggregate principal amount of Contract Securities.

Delivery of and payment for the Underwriters' Securities shall be made at the office, on the date and at the time specified in Schedule I hereto, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Underwriters' Securities being herein called the ``Closing Date''). Delivery of the Underwriters' Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Company in Federal (same day) funds, or, if so indicated on Schedule I hereto, in New York Clearinghouse (next day) funds. Certificates for the Underwriters' Securities shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Representatives may request not less than two full business days in advance of the Closing Date.

The Company agrees to have the Underwriters' Securities available for inspection, checking and packaging by the Representatives in New York, New York, not later than 1:00 PM on the business day prior to the Closing Date.

If so provided in Schedule I hereto, Underwriters' Securities will be represented by one or more definitive global Securities in book-entry form which will be deposited by or on behalf of the Company with DTC or DTC's designated custodian. In such case, (a) delivery of the Underwriters' Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters by causing DTC to credit the Underwriters' Securities to the account of the Representatives at DTC, and (b) the Company will cause the certificates representing the Underwriters' Securities to be made available to the Representatives for inspection not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date at the office of DTC or its designated custodian.

4. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that:

(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing, and the Company will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause the Final Prospectus to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 and/or Rule 434 under the Securities Act. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 and/or Rule 434 under the Securities Act, (ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the Securities shall have become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or amendment of or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(b) The Company will prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the request of the Representatives, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Final Prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, may be necessary to enable the several Underwriters to continue the sale of the Securities, and the Company will use its best efforts to cause any such amendments to become effective and any such supplements to be filed with the Commission and approved for use by the Underwriters as promptly as possible. If at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event relating to or affecting the Company occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or which will effect such compliance. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the Company will furnish such information with respect to itself as the Representatives may from time to time reasonably request.

(c) As soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the end of the 12-month period beginning at the end of the current fiscal quarter of the Company, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and you an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning not earlier than said effective date which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(d) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) and each amendment thereto which shall become effective on or prior to the Closing Date and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Securities Act, as many copies of any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing all documents relating to the offering.

(e) The Company will furnish such information and execute such instruments as may be required to qualify the Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as you designate, will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for distribution and will arrange for the determination of the legality of the Securities for purchase by institutional investors. The Company shall not be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation nor, except as to matters and transactions relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(f) So long as the Securities shall be outstanding, the Company will deliver to you (i) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as at the end of and for such year and the last preceding year, all in reasonable detail and audited by independent public accountants, (ii) as soon as practicable after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods in each fiscal year, unaudited consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as at the end of and for such period and for the comparable period of the preceding year, all in reasonable detail, (iii) as soon as available, all such proxy statements, financial statements and reports as the Company shall send or make available to its stockholders generally, and (iv) copies of all such annual, periodic and current reports as the Company or any subsidiary shall file with the Commission or any securities exchange.

(g) The Company will apply for the listing of the Securities on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. if requested to do so by you.

(h) The Company will pay all costs and expenses in connection with the transactions herein contemplated, including, but not limited to, the fees and disbursements of its counsel; the fees, costs and expenses of preparing, printing and delivering the Indenture and the Securities; the fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee; accounting fees and disbursements; the costs and expenses in connection with the qualification or exemption of the Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, including filing fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with any Blue Sky Memorandum; the costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and the Basic, Preliminary Final, and Final Prospectus, the preparation and printing of this Agreement and the furnishing to the Underwriters of such copies of each prospectus as the Underwriters may reasonably require; and the fees of rating agencies. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section and in Sections 7 and 8 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

(i) Until the business day following the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the consent of the Representatives, offer or sell, or announce the offering of, any debt securities (other than up to $200,000,000 principal amount of the Company's medium term notes to be issued pursuant to the Company's Registration Statements on Form S-3 (File Nos. 33- 42642 and 33-60939)) covered by the Registration Statement or any other registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

5. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the date hereof, as of the date of the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement filed prior to the Closing Date (including the filing of any document incorporated by reference therein) and as of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the written statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or shall be pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, shall be contemplated by the Commission.

(b) No event, nor any material adverse change in the condition of the Company, financial or otherwise, shall have occurred, nor shall any event exist which makes untrue or incorrect any material statement or information contained in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or which is not reflected in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus, but should be reflected therein in order to make the statements or information contained therein not misleading.

(c) You shall not have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or any prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact which, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, is material, or omits to state a fact which, in the opinion of such counsel, is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(d) You shall have received at the Closing Date (or prior thereto as indicated) the following:

(i) An opinion from Gloria Santona, Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Secretary, or a Vice President and Assistant General Counsel of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:

(B) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee, is duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights and general principles of equity.

(C) The Securities have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when duly executed on behalf of the Company, duly authenticated by the Trustee or the Trustee's authenticating agent, and duly delivered to the several Underwriters against payment therefor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in the case of the Underwriters' Securities, or to the purchasers thereof pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts, in the case of Contract Securities, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms and entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights and general principles of equity.

(D) The Indenture and the Securities conf orm as to legal matters with the statements concerning them made in the Final Prospectus, and such statements accurately set forth the provisions thereof required to be set forth in the Final Prospectus.

(E) This Agreement and any Delayed Delivery Contracts have been validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Company.

(F) The Registration Statement and any amendments thereto have become effective under the Securities Act, and, to the best of the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended, has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, and the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto (except for the financial statements and other financial data included therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the respective rules thereunder; such counsel has no reason to believe that either the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; the descriptions in the Registration Statement and Final Prospectus of statutes, legal and governmental proceedings and contracts and other documents are accurate and fairly present the information required to be shown; and such counsel does not know of any legal or governmental proceedings required to be described in the Final Prospectus which are not described as required, nor of any contracts or documents of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or Final Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which are not described and filed as required.

(G) The consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and the fulfillment of the terms hereof or of any Delayed Delivery Contracts will not result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which, to the knowledge of such counsel, the Company is a party, or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company as presently in effect or, to the knowledge of such counsel, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties.

(H) No authorization, approval, consent or other action of any governmental authority or agency is required in connection with the sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement or in any Delayed Delivery Contracts except such as may be required under the Securities Act or under state securities or blue sky laws.

The Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to render their opinions. In connection with such opinions, such counsel may rely on representations or certificates of officers of the Company.

(iii) A certificate of the President or a Vice President, and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company or its Treasurer, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:

(B) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the respective signers of the certificate, are contemplated under the Securities Act.

(C) The signers of the certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus; neither the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto includes, as of the Closing Date, any untrue statement of a material fact or omits, as of the Closing Date, to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; since the latest respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, there has been no material adverse change in the financial position, business or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, considered as a whole, except as set forth in or contemplated by the Final Prospectus; and since the effective date of the Registration Statement, as amended, no event has occurred which is required to be set forth in the Final Prospectus which has not been so set forth.

(e) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to you such further certificates and documents as you may reasonably request.

(f) The Company shall have accepted Delayed Delivery Contracts in any case where sales of Contract Securities arranged by the Underwriters have been approved by the Company.

If any condition of the Underwriters' obligations hereunder required to be satisfied prior to the Closing Date is not so satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by you by notice in writing or by facsimile transmission to the Company.

In rendering the opinions described in Sections 5(d)(i) and
(ii) above, Ms. Gloria Santona, other counsel for the Company, and counsel for the Underwriters may, as to matters involving the laws of any state other than Illinois, rely upon the opinion or opinions of local counsel satisfactory to you, but in such case a signed copy of each such opinion shall be furnished to you.

All such opinions (including opinions, if any, of local counsel), certificates, letters and documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in all material respects satisfactory to you and to counsel for the Underwriters, as to which both you and such counsel shall act reasonably. The Company will furnish you with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as you request.

You, on behalf of the Underwriters, may waive in writing the compliance by the Company of any one or more of the foregoing conditions or extend the time for their performance.

6. Representation of the Underwriters. Each of t he Underwriters severally represents and warrants to the Company that the information furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter or by you expressly for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus does not, and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto thus furnished will not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

7. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by you on behalf of the Underwriters by notice in writing delivered to the Company prior to the Closing Date if prior to such time (i) trading in the Company's common stock shall have been suspended by the Commission on the New York Stock Exchange for a period of twenty-four hours or more or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, in either case to such a degree as would in your judgment materially adversely affect the market for the Securities; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in the State of New York or the United States shall have been declared by Federal authorities; or
(iii) there has occurred any material outbreak, or material escalation, of hostilities involving the United States or other national or international calamity or crisis, of such magnitude and severity in its effect on the financial markets of the United States, in your reasonable judgment, as to prevent or materially impair the marketing, or enforcement of contracts for sale, of the Securities.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by you because of any failure on the part of the Company to comply with any of the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall pay, in addition to the costs and expenses referred to in Section 4(h), all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Underwriters in contemplation of the performance by them of their obligations hereunder, including but not limited to the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters, the Underwriters' reasonable printing and traveling expenses, and postage and telephone charges relating directly to the offering contemplated by the Final Prospectus, and also including advertising expenses incurred after the effective date of the Registration Statement, it being understood that such out- of-pocket expenses shall not include any compensation, salaries or wages of the officers, partners or employees of any of the Underwriters.

The Company shall not in any event be liable to the several Underwriters for damages on account of loss of anticipated profits arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and provided, further, that the foregoing indemnification with respect to the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the Securities, if such Underwriter failed to send or give copies of the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, excluding documents incorporated therein by reference, to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person in any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Basic Prospectus or any Preliminary Final Prospectus was corrected in the Final Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus as amended or supplemented). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company either within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each of its directors and each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, any such controlling person or any such director or officer may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you specifically for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page of the Final Prospectus and under the heading ``Underwriting'' or ``Plan of Distribution '' and, if Schedule I hereto provides for sale of Securities pursuant to delayed delivery arrangements, in the last sentence under the heading ``Delayed Delivery Arrangements'' in the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Final Prospectus, and you confirm that such statements are correct. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which each such Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt by such indemnified party of notice from the indemnifying party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the Representatives of the Underwriters in the case of subparagraph (a), representing the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) or (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; provided, further, that, with respect to legal and other expenses incurred by an indemnified party for which an indemnifying party shall be liable hereunder, all such legal fees and expenses shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as they are incurred.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) of this Section 8 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable from the Company on grounds of policy or otherwise, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount bears to the sum of such discount and the purchase price of the Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto and the Company is responsible for the balance; provided, however, that (i) in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clause (i) of this paragraph (d). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph (d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Underwriter. If the Underwriters' obligations to purchase Securities pursuant to Section 3 hereof are several and not joint and if any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement and unless otherwise provided in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bear to the aggregate amount of Securities set opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the several Underwriters, set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement, will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of its officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile transmission and confirmed to them, at the address specified in Schedule I hereto; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile transmission and confirmed to the Company at One McDonald's Plaza, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523, Attention of the Treasurer, with a copy to the Controller.

12. Successors; Governing Law. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in
Section 8 hereof and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators, and no other persons will have any right or obligation hereunder. The terms ``successors'' and ``assigns'' as used herein shall not include a purchaser as such from any Underwriter. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Illinois.

13. Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement, ``business day'' means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, sign and return to us the enclosed duplicate hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement between the Company and the several Underwriters in accordance with its terms.

Very truly yours,

If no request is received, the Securities will be registered in the name of the undersigned and issued in a denomination equal to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased by the undersigned on the Delivery Date.

A. COMMON STOCK

Each share of Common Stock shall be equal to every other share of Common Stock in every respect. Subject to any exclusive voting rights which may vest in holders of Preferred Stock under the provisions of any series of the Preferred Stock established by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority herein provided, the shares of Common Stock shall entitle the holders thereof to one vote for each share upon all matters upon which stockholders have the right to vote.

B. PREFERRED STOCK

(1) Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as are stated and expressed in this Article and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided.

(2) Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors subject to the provisions of this Article to authorize the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each series, to fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series:

(a) The number of shares to constitute such series and the distinctive designations thereof;

(b) The dividend rate or rates to which such shares shall be entitled and the restrictions, limitations and conditions upon the payment of such dividends, whether dividends shall be cumulative or non- cumulative and, if cumulative, the date or dates from which dividends shall accumulate, the dates on which dividends, if declared, shall be payable, and the preferences or relations to the dividends payable on any other series of Preferred Stock;

(c) Whether or not all or any part of the shares of such series shall be redeemable, and if so, the limitations and restrictions with respect to such redemptions, the manner of selecting shares of such series for redemption if less than all shares are to be redeemed, and the amount, if any, in addition to any accrued dividends thereon, which the holder of shares of such series shall be entitled to receive upon the redemption thereof, which amount may vary at different redemption dates and may be different with respect to shares redeemed through the operation of any retirement or sinking fund and with respect to shares otherwise redeemed;

(d) The amount in addition to any accrued dividends thereon which the holders of shares of such series shall be entitled to receive upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, which amount may vary depending on whether such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is voluntary or involuntary and, if voluntary, may vary at different dates;

(e) Whether or not the shares of such series shall be subject to the operation of a purchase, retirement or sinking fund, and, if so, whether such purchase, retirement or sinking fund shall be cumulative or non-cumulative, the extent and the manner in which such fund shall be applied to the purchase or redemption of the shares of such series for retirement or to other corporate purposes and the terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof;

(f) Whether or not the shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of stock of any other class or classes, or of any other series of the same class, and if so convertible or exchangeable, the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the method, if any, of adjusting the same;

(g) The voting powers, if any, of such series in addition to the voting powers provided by law; except that such powers shall not include the right to have more than one vote per share;

(h) Any other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall not be inconsistent with law or with this Article.

Notwithstanding the fixing of the number of shares constituting a particular series upon the issuance thereof, the Board of Directors may at any time thereafter authorize the issuance of additional shares of the same series, or decrease the number of shares constituting such series (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding).

(3) All shares of any one series of Preferred Stock shall be identical with all other shares of the same series except that shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to the dates from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative; and all series shall rank equally and be identical in all respects, except as permitted by the foregoing provisions of paragraph B. (2).

(4) (a) The holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cash dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors at such rate per share per annum, cumulatively if so provided, and with such preferences, as shall have been fixed by the Board of Directors, before any dividends shall be paid upon or declared and set apart for the Common Stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, and such dividends on each series of the Preferred Stock shall cumulate, if at all, from and after the dates fixed by the Board of Directors with respect to such cumulation. Accrued dividends shall bear no interest.

(b) If dividends on the Preferred Stock are not declared in full then dividends shall be declared ratably on all shares of stock of each series of equal preference in proportion to the respective unpaid cumulative dividends, if any, to the end of the then current dividend period. No ratable distribution shall be declared or set apart for payment with respect to any series until accumulated dividends in arrears in full have been declared and paid on any series senior in preference.

(c) Unless dividends on all outstanding shares of series of the Preferred Stock having cumulative dividend rights shall have been fully paid for all past dividend periods, and unless all required sinking fund payments, if any, shall have been made or provided for, no dividend (except a dividend payable in Common Stock or in any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock) shall be paid upon or declared and set apart for the Common Stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock.

(d) Subject to the foregoing provisions, the Board of Directors may declare and pay dividends on the Common Stock and on any class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, to the extent permitted by law. After full dividends for the current dividend period, and, in the case of Preferred Stock having cumulative dividend rights after all prior dividends have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled, to the exclusion of the holders of the Preferred Stock, to all further dividends declared and paid in such current dividend period.

(5) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation shall be made to or set apart for the holders of shares of any class or classes of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, the holders of the shares of each series of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive payment of the amount per share fixed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of the shares of such series, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders; but they shall be entitled to no further payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amount which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this paragraph B. (5), the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Corporation or a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary.

(6) Shares of any series of Preferred Stock which have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Company (excluding shares purchased and retired, whether through the operation of a retirement or sinking fund or otherwise, and shares which, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of stock of any other class or classes) shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a part or may be reclassified and reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock or as part of any other series of Preferred Stock, all subject to the conditions or restrictions on issuance fixed by the Board of Directors with respect to the shares of any other series of Preferred Stock.

(7) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the authorizing resolutions, none of the shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to any voting rights and the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes. So long as any shares of any series of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, irrespective of series, either expressed in writing (to the extent permitted by law) or by their affirmative vote at a meeting called for that purpose: (i) adopt any amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or take any other action which in any material respect adversely affects any preference, power, special right, or other term of the Preferred Stock or the holders thereof, (ii) create or issue any class of stock entitled to any preference over the Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, or the distribution of capital assets, (iii) increase the aggregate number of shares constituting the authorized Preferred Stock or (iv) create or issue any other class of stock entitled to any preference on a parity with the Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of capital assets.

(8) If in any case the amounts payable with respect to any obligations to retire shares of the Preferred Stock are not paid in full in the case of all series with respect to which such obligations exist, the number of shares of each of such series to be retired pursuant to any such obligations shall be in proportion to the respective amounts which would be payable on account of such obligations if all amounts payable in respect of such series were discharged in full.

(9) The shares of Preferred Stock may be issued by the Corporation from time to time for such consideration as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Any and all shares for which the consideration so fixed shall have been paid or delivered shall be deemed fully paid and nonassessable.

(10) For the purpose of the provisions of this Article dealing with Preferred Stock or of any resolution of the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock or of any certificate filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to any such resolution (unless otherwise provided in any such resolution or certificate):

(a) The term "outstanding", when used in reference to shares of stock, shall mean issued shares, excluding shares held by the Corporation and shares called for redemption, funds for the redemption of which shall have been set aside or deposited in trust;

(b) The amount of dividends "accrued" on any share of Preferred Stock as at any dividend date shall be deemed to be the amount of any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to and including such dividend date, whether or not earned or declared, and the amount of dividends "accrued" on any share of Preferred Stock as at any date other than a dividend date shall be calculated as the amount of any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to and including the last preceding dividend date, whether or not earned or declared, plus an amount equivalent to interest on the involuntary liquidation value of such share at the annual dividend rate fixed for the shares of such series for the period after such last preceding dividend date to and including the date as of which the calculation is made;

(c) The term "class or classes of stock of the corpora- tion ranking junior to the Preferred Stock" shall mean the Common Stock of the Corporation and any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation hereafter authorized which shall rank junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation.

C. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CAPITAL STOCK

No holder of any share or shares of any class of stock of the Corporation shall have any preemptive or preferential right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class of the Corporation now or hereafter authorized or any securities convertible into or carrying any rights to purchase any shares of stock of any class of the Corporation now or hereafter authorized, other than such rights, if any, as the Board of Directors in its discretion from time to time may grant, and at such prices and upon such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors in its discretion may fix.

D. SERIES OF PREFERRED STOCK

Following are the statements of the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the series of Preferred Stock that have been designated by the Board of Directors as authorized herein:

1. Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation (hereinafter called the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences, and limitations thereof as follows:

Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock:

Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 2,050,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.

(A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, without par value (the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this
Section immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event, provided that in no event shall a share of Series A Preferred Stock be entitled to more than one vote.

(B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

(C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

Section 4. Certain Restrictions.

(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in
Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

(i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;

(ii) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or

(iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, provided that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

Section 9. Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to all series of any other class of the Corporation's Preferred Stock.

Section 10. Amendment. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.

2. Series D Preferred Stock.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation (hereinafter called the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences and limitations thereof as follows:

Series D Preferred Stock:

Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as Series D Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series D Preferred Stock shall be three hundred thousand (300,000). Shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $100 per share. Such number may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, however that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants issued by or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series D Preferred Stock.

Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.

(A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock and of any other Junior Stock (as hereinafter defined in Section 4(B)), shall be entitled to receive a cash dividend payable in an amount per share equal to $1.25 per quarter and no more (such amount being referred to herein as the "Dividend Amount"), which dividend shall be payable when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the purpose, payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as "Dividend Payment Date"), subject to Section 2(B) below, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share of Series D Preferred Stock. In the event that any Dividend Payment Date shall occur on any day other than a "Business Day" (as hereinafter defined), the dividend payment due on such Dividend Payment Date shall be paid on the Business Day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. For purposes of these resolutions, "Business Day" shall mean each day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or a date on which federally or state chartered banking institutions in Chicago, Illinois or New York, New York are required or authorized to be closed.

(B) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock from the date of issue of such shares and shall accrue on a daily basis whether or not declared and whether or not the Corporation shall have earnings or surplus out of which such dividends could be paid at the time. Dividends accrued on the shares of Series D Preferred Stock for any period less than a full quarterly period between Dividend Payment Dates shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 30-day months and in lieu of the initial quarterly dividend, such a proportional dividend shall accrue for the period from the date of issue until the first Dividend Payment Date after the issuance of any such shares. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Accumulated but unpaid dividends shall cumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable, but no interest shall accrue on accumulated but unpaid dividends.

(C) Dividends paid on the shares of Series D Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.

Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(A) Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(B) Except as otherwise provided by law or in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

(C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law or in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action. Any increase or decrease in the authorized class of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely within the meaning of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and no class vote shall be required to authorize such increase or decrease.

Section 4. Certain Restrictions.

(A) So long as any Series D Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, no dividend shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment on any other series of stock ranking on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends ("Parity Stock"), unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Series D Preferred Stock dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Series D Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock accumulated and unpaid through the most recent such dividend payment period, and accumulated and unpaid on such Parity Stock through the dividend payment period on such Parity Stock ending on such dividend payment date or such dividend payment date immediately preceding such dividend payment period.

(B) So long as any Series D Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, in the event that full cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid or set apart for payment, the Corporation shall not declare and pay or set apart for payment any dividends or make any other distributions on, or make any payment on account of the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, Common Stock or any other class of stock or series thereof of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series D Preferred Stock (collectively, "Junior Stock") until full cumulative and unpaid dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) any dividend payable solely in any shares of Junior Stock, or (ii) the acquisition of shares of Junior Stock either
(x) pursuant to any employee or director incentive or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted or (y) in exchange solely for shares of any other Junior Stock. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4, the Board of Directors may declare and the Corporation may pay or set apart for payment dividends and other distributions on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock; and may purchase or otherwise redeem or retire any of the Junior Stock or Parity Stock or any warrants, rights, or options or other securities exercisable for or convertible into any of the Junior Stock or Parity Stock and the holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.

Section 5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(A) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (i) to the holders of shares of Junior Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share (such amount being referred to herein as the "Liquidation Preference"), plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, as to the date of such payment, or (ii) to the holders of shares of Parity Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series D Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. After payment of the full amount to which they are entitled as provided by the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(A), the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

(B) Neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity, nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation or other entity with or into the Corporation, nor the sale, transfer or lease of all or any portion of the assets of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for purposes of this Section 5.

(C) Written notice of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable to holders of Series D Preferred Stock in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be made in accordance with Section 8 below not less than 20 days prior to any payment date stated therein, to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, at their respective addresses shown on the books of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series D Preferred Stock; provided, however, that a failure to give notice as provided herein or any defect therein shall not affect the Corporation's ability to consummate a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 6. Redemption.

All of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock shall be redeemed, by the Corporation, out of funds legally available therefor, on the later of (i) February 1, 1997 and (ii) the death of Maurice J. Sullivan, an individual residing in the State of Hawaii, to whom the initial shares of Series D Preferred Stock will initially be issued (the "Redemption Date"). The shares shall be redeemed at a price of $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, to the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price"). On or subsequent to the Redemption Date, upon surrender of the certificates for any shares to be redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the Redemption Price of such shares shall be paid in cash. In the event that the Redemption Price is either paid or made available for payment, then, notwithstanding that the certificate or certificates evidencing any of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall terminate, effective on the Redemption Date, and any such certificate shall represent only the right to receive the Redemption Price, without interest, upon surrender. No interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price after the Redemption Date.

Section 7. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series D Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of the redemption of such shares as provided hereby, or otherwise so acquired, shall be retired and the Corporation shall take all actions necessary to restore such shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without par value, of the Corporation, which shares may thereafter be reissued as part of a new series of such Preferred Stock or as Series D Preferred Stock, as permitted by law.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

(A) All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, and delivered personally, sent by courier, or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) addressed: (i) if to the Corporation, to its office at McDonald's Plaza, Oak Brook, Illinois 60521 (Attention: Secretary) or to the transfer agent designated by the Corporation or (ii) if to any holder of the Series D Preferred Stock, to such holder at the address of such holder as listed in the stock records books of the Corporation (which may include the records of any transfer agent for the Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be) or (iii) to such other address as the Corporation or any such holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.

(B) The Corporation shall pay any and all stock transfer and documentary stamp taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery or shares of Series D Preferred Stock or certificates representing such shares. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series D Preferred Stock in a name other than the name in which the shares of Series D Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any person with respect to any such shares other than a payment to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(C) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations as the same may be amended, all payments in the form of dividends, distributions on voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up otherwise made upon the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and any other stock ranking on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to such dividend or distribution shall be made pro rata, so that amounts paid per share on the Series D Preferred Stock and such other stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the required dividends, distributions or payments, as the case may be, then payable per share on the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and such other stock bear to each other.

(D) The Corporation may appoint and from time to time discharge and change, a transfer agent for the Series D Preferred Stock. Upon any such appointment or discharge of a transfer agent, the Corporation shall send notice thereof in accordance with Section 8(A) to each holder of record of Series D Preferred Stock.

FIFTH: The minimum amount of capital with which the Corporation will commence business is One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).

SIXTH: The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

SEVENTH: The private property of the stockholders of the Corporation shall not be subject to the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatsoever.

EIGHTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware the Board of Directors is expressly authorized and empowered:

(a) In the manner provided in the by-laws of the Corporation to make, alter, amend and repeal the by-laws of the Corporation in any respect not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or with the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation;

(b) By a resolution or resolutions passed by a majority of the whole Board, to designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of two or more of the directors of the Corporation which, to the extent provided in said resolution or resolutions or in the by-laws of the Corporation, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may have power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be stated in the by-laws of the Corporation or as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors;

(c) Subject to any applicable provisions of the by-laws of the Corporation then in effect, to determine from time to time, whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders; and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Corporation, except as conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, unless and until authorized so to do by resolution of the Board of Directors or of the stockholders of the Corporation;

(d) To fix from time to time the amount of the surplus or profits of the Corporation to be reserved as working capital or for any other lawful purpose;

(e) Without any action by the stockholders, to authorize the borrowing of moneys for any of the purposes of the Corporation and, from time to time without limit as to amount, to authorize and cause the making, execution, issuance, sale or other disposition of promissory notes, drafts, bonds, debentures and other negotiable or non-negotiable instruments and evidences of indebtedness, and the securing of the same by mortgage, pledge, deed of trust or otherwise.

In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon it, the Board of Directors may exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised, or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the by-laws of the Corporation.

Any contract, transaction or act of the Corporation or of the directors or of any committee, which shall be ratified by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy and voting at any annual meeting, or at any special meeting called for such purpose, shall, insofar as permitted by law or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, be as valid and as binding as though ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

The Corporation may enter into contracts or transact business with one or more of its directors, or with any firm of which one or more of its directors are members or with any trust, firm, corporation or association in which any one or more of its directors is a stockholder, director or officer or otherwise interested, and any such contract or transaction shall not be invalidated in the absence of fraud because such director or directors have or may have interests therein which are or might be adverse to the interest of the Corporation, even though the presence and/or vote of the director or directors having such adverse interest shall have been necessary to constitute a quorum and/or to obligate the Corporation upon such contract or transaction, provided that such interests shall have been disclosed to the other directors and a majority of the directors voting shall have approved such contract or transaction; and no director having such adverse interest shall be liable to this Corporation or to any stockholder or creditor thereof, or to any other person for any loss incurred by it under or by reason of any such contract or transaction; nor shall any such director or directors be accountable for any gains or profits realized thereon.

The Corporation shall have power to indemnify any and all of its directors or officers or former directors or officers or any person who may have served at its request as a director or officer of another corporation in which it owns shares of capital stock or of which it is a creditor against liabilities and expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been directors or officers or a director or officer of the Corporation, or of such other corporation, except in relation to matters as to which any such director or officer or former director or officer or person shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty. Such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.

NINTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held outside the State of Delaware, if the by-laws so provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to the laws of the State of Delaware) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the by-laws of the Corporation. Elections of directors need not be by ballot unless the by-laws of the Corporation shall so provide.

TENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to the extent and in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

ELEVENTH: It is hereby declared to be a proper corporate purpose, reasonably calculated to benefit stockholders, for the Board of Directors to base the response of the Corporation to any 'Acquisition Proposal' on the Board of Directors' evaluation of what is in the best interests of the Corporation and for the Board of Directors, in evaluating what is in the best interests of the Corporation, to consider:

(i) the best interest of the stockholders; for this purpose the Board shall consider, among other factors, not only the consideration being offered in the Acquisition Proposal, in relation to the then current market price, but also in relation to the then current value of the Corporation in a freely negotiated transaction and in relation to the Board of Directors' then estimate of the future value of the Corporation as an independent entity; and


(ii) such other factors as the Board of Directors determines to be relevant, including, among other factors, the social, legal and economic effects upon franchisees, employees, suppliers, customers and business.

"Acquisition Proposal" means any proposal of any person (a) for a tender offer or exchange offer for any equity security of the Corporation, (b) to merge or consolidate the Corporation with another corporation, or (c) to purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Corporation.

TWELFTH: Subject to all other applicable provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and to all applicable provisions of the law of Delaware, relating, inter alia, to stockholder approval, the Board of Directors shall have the power to merge or consolidate the Corporation with another corporation or to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, including its good will and its corporate franchises, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration, which may be in whole or in part shares of stock in, and/or other securities of, any corporation or corporations, as the Board of Directors shall deem expedient and for the best interests of the Corporation, but, regardless of any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if any party to any such transaction shall be a person or entity owning, immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, of record or beneficially, 2% or more of the stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding having voting power, such power of the Board of Directors shall be exercisable only when and as duly authorized by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding having voting power given at a stockholders' meeting duly called for that purpose; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall have the power to merge the Corporation with another corporation without action by the stockholders to the extent and in the manner permitted from time to time by the law of Delaware. In determining whether or not any person or entity (the 'Primary Holder') owns, of record or beneficially, 2% or more of the stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding having voting power, there shall be aggregated with all shares of such stock owned of record or beneficially by the Primary Holder (a) all shares of such stock owned of record or beneficially by any person or entity who or which would be deemed to be controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Primary Holder under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any federal statute enacted to take the place of either or both such statutes or any regulation promulgated under either of such statutes or such successor statutes (an 'Affiliate') and (b) all shares of such stock owned of record or beneficially by any person or entity acting in concert with the Primary Holder and/or with an Affiliate of the Primary Holder. This Article Twelfth shall not be altered, amended or repealed except by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding having voting power, given at a stockholders' meeting duly called for that purpose, upon a proposal adopted by the Board of Directors.

THIRTEENTH: Board of Directors.

(a) Number, Election and Terms. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than 11 nor more than 24 persons. The exact number of directors within the minimum and maximum limitations specified in the preceding sentence shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

At the 1983 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of office of the first class to expire at the 1984 annual meeting of stockholders, the term of office of the second class to expire at the 1985 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of office of the third class to expire at the 1986 annual meeting of stockholders.

At each annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification and election, directors elected to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election.

(b) Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office. Directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of the class to which they have been elected expires. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(c) Removal. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative votes of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors.

(d) Amendment, Repeal, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors shall be required to amend, alter or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article Thirteenth.

FOURTEENTH: Stockholder Action. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' written notice only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors shall be required to amend, alter or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article Fourteenth.

FIFTEENTH: Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. To the fullest extent that the general corporate law of the State of Delaware, as it exists on the date hereof or as it may hereafter be amended, permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. No amendment to or repeal of this Article Fifteenth shall apply to or have any effect on liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which restates and integrates but does not further amend the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of McDonald's Corporation, as heretofore amended or supplemented, there being no discrepancy between such Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as so amended and supplemented, and the provisions hereof, and having been adopted in accordance with Section 245 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, has been executed by its Vice President and attested by its Assistant Secretary, as of this 19th day of December, 1997.

(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this Section 9, such business, as determined by the Chairman of the meeting, must be a proper subject for stockholder action under Delaware corporation law, and the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than sixty
(60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty
(30) days or delayed by more than sixty (60) days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and a representation as to whether or not the stockholder intends to solicit proxies in support of such proposed nominee; (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, and a representation as to whether or not the stockholder intends to solicit proxies in support of such proposal; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

(B) Special Meetings of Stockholders - Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting of stockholders pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting.

Nominations by stockholders of such persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder's notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 9 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

The Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 9 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 9 or if the stockholder solicits proxies in support of such stockholder's proposed nomination or proposed business without such stockholder having made the representation required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 9, to declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded.

(2) For purposes of this Section 9, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(B) Limitation on Committee Authority - No committee shall have the power or authority of the Board of Directors in reference to (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the Delaware General Corporation Law to be submitted to stockholders for approval; or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing the By-Laws of the Corporation.

(C) Procedural Provisions - A majority of the members of a committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of such members present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of such committee.

The Board of Directors may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any committee who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be stated in these By-Laws or as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report its acts and proceedings to the Board.

Section 7 - Meetings - The newly-elected Directors may hold their first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum be present, immediately after the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders, or the time and place of such meeting may be fixed by consent in writing of all the Directors.

For purposes of this Section, members of the Board of Directors who serve the Corporation in capacities, such as outside consultants, attorneys, or business advisors, shall not be considered by virtue of such service as being employed by the Corporation. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, or otherwise and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 10 - Action Without Meeting - Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors, or of such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

ARTICLE V - INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

Section 1 - Right to Indemnification -

(A) Indemnified Persons - Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in or called as a witness in any Proceeding because he or she is an Indemnified Person, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the DGCL permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment). Such indemnification shall cover all expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and other expenses of litigation) and all liabilities and losses (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA or other excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(B) Additional Indemnified Persons - (1) Each Additional Indemnified Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in or called as a witness in any Proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) because he or she is an Additional Indemnified Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation against expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and other expenses of litigation) and all liabilities and losses (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA or other excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred by such person in connection therewith if such Additional Indemnified Person acted in Good Faith. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that an Additional Indemnified Person did not act in Good Faith.

(2) Each Additional Indemnified Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in or called as a witness in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because he or she is an Additional Indemnified Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation against expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and other expenses of litigation) incurred by such person in connection therewith if such Additional Indemnified Person acted in Good Faith, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Additional Indemnified Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(3) Any indemnification under paragraphs (B)(1) or (B)(2) of this Section 1 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation unless it is determined that indemnification of the Additional Indemnified Person is not proper in the circumstances because such person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in either paragraph (B)(1) or (B)(2) of this Section 1. Such determination shall be made: (a) by the Board of Directors of the Corporation by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, or (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable if a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. Such determination shall be made within one hundred twenty (120) days (or such longer period established as set forth in the next sentence) after receipt by the Board of Directors of written notice from the Additional Indemnified Person seeking indemnification setting forth in reasonable detail the facts known to such person concerning the Proceeding. The period during which the Board of Directors may determine that indemnification is not proper may be extended to a period established by the Board of Directors by written notice to the Additional Indemnified Person delivered to such person within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt by the Board of Directors of such person's written notice seeking indemnification.

(C) Denial of Authorization for Certain Proceedings - Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, except with respect to indemnification of Indemnified Persons specified in Section 3 of this Article V, the Corporation shall indemnify an Indemnified Person or Additional Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if (i) authorization for such Proceeding (or part thereof) was not denied by the Board of Directors of the Corporation prior to the earlier of (x) sixty (60) days after receipt of notice thereof from such Indemnified Person or one hundred twenty
(120) days after receipt of notice thereof from such Additional Indemnified Person, as the case may be, or (y) a Change of Control, and
(ii) in the case of a Proceeding initiated by an Additional Indemnified Person, it is not a Proceeding to enforce rights under this Article V.

(D) Certain Defined Terms - For purposes of this Article V, the following terms shall have the following means (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined):

(i) a "Proceeding" is any investigation, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and any appeal therefrom;

(ii) an "Indemnified Person" is a person who is, was, or had agreed to become (A) a Director of the Corporation (including, in the case of such person seeking indemnification while serving as a Director who is or was an officer of the Corporation, such person in his capacity as an officer) or (B) an officer, employee or a Delegate, as defined herein, of the Corporation (but, except as included within clause (A), with respect to such officers, employees and Delegates and persons agreeing to become officers, employees or Delegates only as to Proceedings occurring after a Change of Control, as defined herein, arising out of acts, events or omissions occurring prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously with, such Change of Control), or the legal representative or any of the foregoing;

(iii) a "Delegate" is (A) any employee of the Corporation serving as a director or officer (or in a substantially similar capacity) of an entity or enterprise (x) in which the Corporation owns a l0% or greater equity interest or (y) the principal function of which is to service or benefit the Corporation or its licensees; (B) any employee of the Corporation serving as a trustee or fiduciary of an employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (A); and (C) any employee serving at the request of the Corporation in any capacity with any entity or enterprise other than the Corporation;

(iv) a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) any "Person" (as that term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) is or becomes (except in a transaction approved in advance by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under such Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities, or (B) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Corporation cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election of each Director who was not a Director at the beginning of the period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of the period;

(v) an "Additional Indemnified Person" is a person who is, was, or had agreed to become an officer, Delegate or employee of the Corporation and who is not an Indemni- fied Person; and

(vi) "Good Faith" shall mean with respect to any Additional Indemnified Person that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.

Section 2 - Expenses - Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a person indemnified pursuant to Section 1 of this Article V in defending or otherwise being involved in a Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking (the "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; provided, that (A) if a Change of Control has occurred, such person shall be required to deliver to the Corporation the Undertaking only if such an undertaking is required under the DGCL then in effect, and (B) in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person, except a Proceeding authorized by Section 3 of this Article V, the Corporation shall pay said expenses in advance of final disposition only if authorization for such Proceeding (or part thereof) was not denied by the Board of Directors of the Corporation prior to the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days in the case of an Indemnified Person, or one hundred twenty (120) days in the case of an Additional Indemnified Person, after receipt of a request for such advancement accompanied by the Undertaking or (ii) a Change of Control. A person to whom expenses are advanced pursuant hereto shall not be obligated to repay pursuant to the Undertaking until the final determination of any pending Proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction concerning the right of such person to be indemnified or the obligation of such person to repay such expenses.

Section 3 - Protection of Rights - If a claim by an Indemnified Person under Section 1 of this Article V is not promptly paid in full by the Corporation after a written claim has been received by the Corporation or if expenses pursuant to Section 2 of this Article V have not been promptly advanced after a written request for such advancement by an Indemnified Person (accompanied by the Undertaking if required by Section 2 of this Article V) has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or the advancement of expenses. If successful, in whole or in part, in such suit, such claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the reasonable expense thereof. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the Undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation (or, if a Change of Control has occurred, the Undertaking is not required to be tendered to the Corporation under the DGCL) that indemnification of the claimant is prohibited by law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. If a Change of Control has occurred, a claimant making a claim under Section 1 of this Article V or seeking to avoid repayment to the Corporation of expenses advanced pursuant to Section 2 of this Article V shall have (i) the right, but not the obligation, to have a determination made by independent legal counsel, at the expense of the Corporation, as to whether indemnification of the claimant is prohibited by law; and (ii) shall have the right (A) to select as independent legal counsel to make such determination any legal counsel designated for such purpose in a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors that is in full force and effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or (B), if the Board of Directors has failed to designate any such legal counsel or all such counsel refuse to make such a determination, to request the American Arbitration Association, at the expense of the Corporation, to select an independent legal counsel familiar with matters of the type in dispute to make such a determination. If a determination has been made in accordance with the preceding sentence, no determination inconsistent therewith by other legal counsel, by the Board of Directors, or by stockholders shall be of any force or effect. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination, if required, prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that indemnification of the claimant is prohibited, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that indemnification of the claimant is prohibited.

Section 4 - Miscellaneous -

(A) Non-Exclusivity of Rights - The rights conferred on any person by this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise. The Board of Directors shall have the authority, by resolution, to provide for such indemnification of agents of the Corporation or others and for such other indemnification of Directors, officers, Delegates or employees, of the Corporation as it shall deem appropriate.

(B) Insurance, contracts, and funding - The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, Delegate, employee, or agent of, the Corporation against any expenses, liabilities or losses, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liabilities or losses under the DGCL. The Corporation hereby agrees that, for a period of six (6) years after any Change of Control, it shall cause to be maintained policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance providing coverage at least comparable to and in the same amounts as that provided by any such policies in effect immediately prior to such Change of Control. The Corporation may enter into contracts with any Director, officer, Delegate or employee of the Corporation in furtherance of the provisions of this Article V and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect the advancing of expenses and indemnification as provided in this Article V.

(C) Contractual nature - The provisions of this Article V as amended effective December 17, 1990 shall be applicable with respect to events, acts and omissions occurring prior to or subsequent to such Amendment, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, Delegate or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person. This Article V shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each person who, at any time that this Article V as so amended is in effect, serves or agrees to serve in any capacity which entitles him to indemnification hereunder and any repeal or other modification of this Article V or any repeal or modification of the DGCL or any other applicable law shall not limit any rights of indemnification for Proceedings then existing or arising out of events, acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification, including, without limitation, the right to indemnification for Proceedings commenced after such repeal or modification to enforce this Article V with regard to Proceedings arising out of acts, omissions or events arising prior to such repeal or modification.

(D) Cooperation - Each Indemnified Person and Additional Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to such Indemnified Person's or Additional Indemnified Person's entitlement to indemnification under this Article V, 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 such Indemnified Person or Additional Indemnified Person and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by such Indemnified Person or Additional Indemnified Person in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Corporation (irrespective of the determination as to such Indemnified Person's or Additional Indemnified Person's entitlement to indemnification) and the Corporation hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold such Indemnified Person or Additional Indemnified Person harmless therefrom.

(E) Subrogation - In the event of any payment under this Article V to an Indemnified Person or Additional Indemnified Person, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Person or Additional Indemnified Person, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(F) Severability - If this Article V, or any portion hereof shall be invalidated or held to be unenforceable on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the decision of which shall not have been reversed on appeal, this Article V shall be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to avoid a violation of law and, as so modified, this Article V and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 3 - Transfer of Shares - The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable upon its books by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives by the surrender of the old certificates duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, to the Corporation by the delivery thereof to the person in charge of the stock and transfer books and ledgers or to such other person as the Directors may designate, by whom they shall be canceled; and new certificates shall thereupon be issued. A record shall be made of each transfer and a duplicate thereof mailed to the Delaware office; and whenever a transfer shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be expressed in the entry of the transfer.

Section 4 - Record Date - 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, or to express consent to Corporate action in writing without a meeting or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or 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, in advance, a record date which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which shall not be more than sixty

Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock of the Corporation; and in the case of a dividend paid in shares of theretofore unissued capital stock of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall, by resolution, direct that there be designated as capital in respect of such shares an amount not less than the aggregate par value of such shares and, in the case of shares without par value, such amount as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. Before declaring any dividend, there may be set apart out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends, such sum or sums as the Directors from time to time in their discretion deem proper for working capital or as a reserve fund to meet contingencies or for such other purposes as the Directors shall deem conducive to the interests of the Corporation.

Section 7 - Seal - The Corporate seal shall be circular in form and shall contain the name of the Corporation, the year of its creation, and the words, "CORPORATE SEAL DELAWARE." Said seal may be used by causing it, or a facsimile thereof, to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

Stockholders not entitled to vote shall not be entitled to receive notice of any meetings except as otherwise provided by statute.

Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given under the provisions of any law or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or these By-Laws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.

(1) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or

ARTICLE VII - AMENDMENTS

The By-Laws of this Corporation may be made, altered, amended, or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, provided that notice of the proposed making, alteration, amendment or repeal is included in the notice of the meeting at which such action takes place.

SUPPLEMENTAL TO SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES INDENTURE
DATED AS OF OCTOBER 19, 1996


McDONALD'S CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1
Dated as of January 8, 1998
Series of 6 3/8% Debentures due 2028
$150,000,000

Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of January 8, 1998, between McDONALD'S CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Company"), and FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association, authorized to accept and execute trusts (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Trustee").

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, The Company and the Trustee have executed and delivered a Senior Debt Securities Indenture dated as of October 19, 1996 (the "Indenture").

WHEREAS, Section 10.01 of the Indenture provides for the Company, when authorized by the Board of Directors, and the Trustee to enter into an indenture supplemental to the Indenture to establish the form or terms of any series of Debt Securities as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.02 of the Indenture.

WHEREAS, Sections 2.01 and 2.02 of the Indenture provide for Debt Securities of any series to be established pursuant to an indenture supplemental to the Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the series of Debt Securities provided for herein, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of such series of Debt Securities, as follows:

ARTICLE ONE
RELATION TO INDENTURE; DEFINITIONS.

SECTION 1.01. This Supplemental Indenture No. 1 constitutes an integral part of the Indenture.

SECTION 1.02. For all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture:

(1) Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings specified in the Indenture;

(2) All references herein to Articles and Sections, unless otherwise specified, refer to the corresponding Articles and Sections of this Supplemental Indenture No. 1; and

(3) The terms "hereof", "herein", "hereto", "hereunder" and "herewith" refer to this Supplemental Indenture.

ARTICLE TWO
THE SERIES OF DEBT SECURITIES.

SECTION 2.01. There shall be a series of Debt Securities designated the "6 3/8% Debentures due 2028" (the "Debentures"). The Debentures shall be limited to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount.

SECTION 2.02. The principal amount of the Debentures shall be payable on January 8, 2028.

SECTION 2.03. The Debentures will be represented by a global security (the "Global Security"). The Global Security will be executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary") and registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary. Except under circumstances described below, the Debentures will not be issuable in definitive form.

Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee ("participants") or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that beneficial interest will only be effected through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants).

So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of the Global Security, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Debentures represented by the Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Security will not be entitled to have Debentures represented by the Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Debentures in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture.

Principal and interest payments on Debentures represented by the Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security.

If the Depositary notifies the Company that it is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be eligible to continue as Depositary, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Debentures. If a successor Depositary for the Debentures is not appointed by the Company within 90 days from the date the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver, Debentures in definitive form in exchange for the entire Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have the Debentures represented by the Global Security and, in such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver, Debentures in definitive form in exchange for the entire Global Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Debentures represented by the Global Security equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Debentures registered in its name. Debentures so issued in definitive form will be issued as registered Debentures in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified by the Company.

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual Debentures, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Individual Debentures issued in exchange for a Global Security shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Debentures to, or in accordance with the instructions of the persons in whose name such Debentures are so registered.

Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Debentures represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Debentures may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for the Debentures to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for the Debentures or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

SECTION 2.04. The Debentures shall bear interest at the rate of 6 3/8% per annum, payable semi-annually, in arrears, on January 8 and July 8 of each year, commencing July 8, 1998 (each, an ``Interest Payment Date''). The Debentures shall be dated the date of authentication and interest shall be payable on the principal represented thereby from the later of January 8, 1998, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. If any date on which interest is payable is not a business day, the payment of interest due on such date may be made on the next succeeding business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay).

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder in whose name any Debenture is registered in the Debt Security register at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a business day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a "Regular Record Date"). Interest payable on redemption or maturity will be payable to the person to whom the principal is paid.

Any interest on any Debenture which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) and Clause (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debentures are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Debenture and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Section provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date ("Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefore to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Debentures at his address as it appears in the Debt Security register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an authorized newspaper in each Place of Payment, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debentures are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Debentures may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Debenture delivered under this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debenture shall carry the rights to interest accrued but unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debenture.

SECTION 2.05. The Place of Payment for the Debentures shall be both the City of New York, New York, and the City of Charlotte, North Carolina. The Trustee shall be the paying agent for the Debentures.

SECTION 2.06. The Debentures will be redeemable as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time (a "Company Redemption Date"), at a redemption price equal to the greater of
(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Company Redemption Date on the semi-annual basis (assuming a 360- day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Company Redemption Date.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Company Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Company Redemption Date.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Debentures to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Debentures. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any Company Redemption Date, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day preceding such Company Redemption Date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated ``Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities'' or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Company Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations'' means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Company Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such Company Redemption Date.

"Reference Treasury Dealer" means Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and any additional reference dealers appointed by the Company at the sole discretion of the Company, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any Company Redemption Date to each holder of Debentures to be redeemed.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after any Company Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Debentures or portions thereof called for redemption.

SECTION 2.07. The Debentures may be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof.

SECTION 2.08. The Debentures shall be in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

ARTICLE THREE
MISCELLANEOUS.

SECTION 3.01. The recitals of fact herein and in the Debentures shall be taken as statements of the Company and shall not be construed as made by the Trustee.

SECTION 3.02. This Supplemental Indenture No. 1 shall be construed in connection with and as a part of the Indenture.

(b) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 or in the Debentures issued hereunder should be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected, impaired, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

SECTION 3.05. (a) This Supplemental Indenture No. 1 may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, and all said counterparts executed and delivered, each as an original, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(b) The descriptive headings of the several Articles of this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 were formulated, used and inserted in this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 for convenience only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, McDONALD'S CORPORATION has caused this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 to be signed, acknowledged and delivered by its President, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer or Senior Vice President and Treasurer and its corporate seal to be affixed hereunto and the same to be attested by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, and FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, as Trustee, has caused this Supplemental Indenture No. 1 to be signed, acknowledged and delivered by one of its Vice Presidents, and its seal to be affixed hereunto and the same to be attested by one of its Authorized Officers, all as of the day and year first written above.

The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various currencies, may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided.

In the case where any interest payment date or the maturity date does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest or principal otherwise payable on such day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the interest payment date or the maturity date, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date or the maturity date.
The Debentures will be redeemable as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time (a ``Company Redemption Date''), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Company Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Company Redemption Date.
``Treasury Rate '' means, with respect to any Company Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Company Redemption Date.
``Comparable Treasury Issue '' means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Debentures to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Debentures. ``Independent Investment Banker '' means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.
``Comparable Treasury Price'' means, with respect to any Company Redemption Date, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day preceding such Company Redemption Date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated ``Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities'' or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Company Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations. ``Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations '' means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Company Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such Company Redemption Date.
``Reference Treasury Dealer '' means each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and any additional reference dealers appointed by the Company at the sole discretion of the Company, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a ``Primary Treasury Dealer''), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any Company Redemption Date to each holder of Debentures to be redeemed.

If an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Debentures, the principal of the Debentures may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of each series of the Debt Securities at the time outstanding (as defined in the Indenture) to be affected (each series voting as a class), evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Debt Security, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount or premium if any, thereon, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided, without the consent of the Holder of each Debt Security so affected or reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon acceleration of maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debt Securities the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected.
