Any such consent or waiver by the registered Holder of this Debenture (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 of any Debenture issued in exchange therefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debenture. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Debenture at the time and place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Debentures, to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period of such Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters (an "Extension Period"), at the end of which period the Company shall pay all - ----------------- interest then accrued and unpaid (together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law); provided that no Extension Period may end on a day other than an Interest -------- ---- Payment Date or last beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Before the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further extend such Extension Period, provided that such Extension Period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarters or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts then due, the Company may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. During any such Extension Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock, or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt security of the Company that ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures or make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the Company that by their terms rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures (other than (a) dividends or distributions in Common Stock, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a Rights Plan, the issuance of any Common Stock of any class or series of preferred stock of the Company under any Rights Plan or the repurchase of any rights distributed pursuant to a Rights Plan, (c) payments under any Bank One Guarantee which is for the benefit of the holders of Preferred Securities or Common Securities issued by the Trust, (d) purchases of Common Stock related to the issuance of Common Stock under any of the Company's benefit plans for its directors, officers or employees and (e) obligations under any dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan). Subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if such approval is then required under applicable law, rules, guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve, the Company will have the right at any time to liquidate the Trust and cause the Debentures to be distributed to the holders of the Trust Securities in liquidation of the Trust. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Debenture is transferable by the registered Holder hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Debenture for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in the City and State of New York or the City of Chicago, Illinois accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Debentures of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and the Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the owner hereof (whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07 of the Indenture) interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.
