Notice to Holders of Certificates of Deposit of Option to Exchange for Bonds Issued in Reorganization Plan.

The undersigned have taken an active part to protect the interests of the First Mortgage Bondholders and a plan of reorganization has been published. This plan not only safeguards your bonds, but affords an option for exchange into bonds bearing a higher rate of interest which may prove attractive to bondholders.

Holders of the First Mortgage Four Per Cent. Bonds of 1990, have the choice open to them, either

(a) To retain, undisturbed, their present bonds paying four per cent. per annum, having 69 years to run:

(b) To deposit under the plan, which offers in exchange new Prior Lien Mortgage Bonds for the same principal amount, but with an aggregate interest rate of four and one-half per cent. per annum and having 40 years to run, secured by a new Prior Lien Mortgage which (except to the extent that the First Mortgage 4's and a few minor issues are not deposited under the plan) will be substantially a first mortgage on the entire system embraced in the reorganization (including substantially all of its lines of railroad, rolling stock, shops and terminals, all existing First Mortgage Bonds refunded and generally all property hereafter acquired).

In either event, the overdue coupon is to be paid in cash. Believing that the choice is essentially one for the individual bondholder, your committee having accomplished the purpose for which it was organized, has decided to dissolve.
