(unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Debenture and
any Debentures which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor,
irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Debenture
or such other Debentures.

it is exchangeable, in whole but not in part, for Debentures registered in the
names of Persons other than the Depositary or its nominee or in the name of a

same aggregate denominations to be registered in the name of such Depositary or

hereof and (subject to the provisions on the face hereof) interest due hereon

future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of the Company or of any
successor either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being, by

future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of the Company or of any
successor either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any
