the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the

Item 4.
Description of DuPont Common Stock
Holders of DuPont Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends that may be declared by the Board of
Directors of DuPont from surplus or net earnings, but not until all cumulative dividends on preferred stock shall have been declared and set apart for payment at the annual rates of $4.50 a share for the $4.50 Series and $3.50 a share for the $3.50
Series. Holders of DuPont Common Stock have the right to vote on all questions to the exclusion of all other stockholders, except as otherwise expressly provided by law or unless DuPont shall be in default in the payment of dividends on preferred
stock for a period of six months. In the latter event, until accumulated and unpaid dividends on preferred stock of all series shall have been paid, the holders of the outstanding preferred stock shall have the exclusive right, voting separately and
as a class, to elect two directors, or if the total number of directors of DuPont be only three, then only one director, at each meeting of stockholders held for the purpose of electing directors.
On liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of DuPont, whether
voluntary or involuntary, after payments have been made to holders of preferred stock, holders of DuPont Common Stock have the right to share ratably the remaining assets available for distribution. In the event of voluntary liquidation, holders of
preferred stock are entitled to accumulated dividends and $115 a share for the $ 4.50 Series and $107 a share for the $3.50 Series; in the event of involuntary liquidation, holders of both series are entitled to accumulated dividends and $100 a
share. Holders of DuPont Common Stock do not have any preemptive rights.

Law of Delaware against any liability, cost or expense asserted against such director or officer and incurred by such director or officer in any such person's capacity as director or officer, or arising out of any such person's status as a

S-K Item 512 Undertakings
(a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement.
(i)  To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
(iii)  To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)  To remove from registration by
means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933 each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3
(h)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
