holder prior to maturity.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be
registered on the Security Register of the Corporation relating

outstanding and all other Securities then outstanding issued
under the Indenture and affected thereby, on behalf of the
holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the
