This 2013 Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000. Additional Securities, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the 2013 Notes (except a different issue date, issue price and bearing interest from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the 2013 Notes, and, if no interest has been paid, from July 3, 2007), may also be issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture without the consent of the existing Holders of the 2013 Notes. Such additional Securities shall be part of the same series as the 2013 Notes.

The 2013 Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, on July 15, 2009 or any Interest Payment Date thereafter, upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice as provided in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such 2013 Notes being redeemed, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such redemption date will be payable to the Holder of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

The interest rate applicable during each quarterly interest period will be equal to the Three-Month LIBOR Rate as of the Interest Determination Date plus 0.95%, except that the interest rate for the interest period from and including the date of issuance to but excluding October 15, 2007 will be equal to 6.31000%, with interest on the 2013 Notes for subsequent quarterly periods reset on each Interest Payment Date (each of these dates is called an “Interest Reset Date”), beginning on October 15, 2007, based on the Three-Month LIBOR Rate as of the Interest Determination Date plus 0.95%. The interest rate on the 2013 Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by Michigan law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application; provided, however, that in no event shall the rate of interest on the 2013 Notes exceed 12% per annum.

“Three-Month LIBOR Rate” means the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the three-month period commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date. If this rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, the calculation agent will determine the rate on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market (selected by the calculation agent) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of three months commencing on that Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. In such case, the calculation agent will request the principal London office of each of the aforesaid major banks to provide a quotation of such rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, and, if fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City (selected by the calculation agent), at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a period of three months commencing on that Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if fewer than three banks selected by the calculation agent are quoting rates, the interest rate for the applicable interest period will be the same as the interest rate for the immediately preceding period.

“Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display page so designated on the Reuters service (or such other page as may replace such page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks).

“Interest Determination Date” means, with respect to any Interest Reset Date, the second London Banking Day prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date; provided, that the initial Interest Determination Date shall be October 11, 2007.

A “London Banking Day” is any Business Day in which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

The calculation agent will, upon the request of the holder of any 2013 Note, provide the interest rate then in effect. The Trustee will serve as the calculation agent until such time as the Issuer appoints a successor calculation agent. All calculations made by the calculation agent in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Issuer and the holders of the 2013 Notes. The Issuer may appoint a successor calculation agent at the Issuer’s sole discretion.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest rate with respect to the 2013 Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (for example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655) and 9.876544% (or .09876544) being rounded to 9.87654% (or .0987654)), and all dollar amounts in or resulting from any such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, the Issuer shall notify the Holder of this 2013 Note of such occurrence and such Holder shall have the right to require the Issuer to make a Required Repurchase of all or any part of this 2013 Note at a Change of Control Purchase Price equal to 101% of the principal amount of this 2013 Note to be so purchased as more fully provided in the Indenture and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. In the event of a Required Repurchase of only a portion of this 2013 Note, a new 2013 Note or 2013 Notes for the unrepurchased portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If an Event of Default with respect to this 2013 Note shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this 2013 Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, redemption date, repurchase date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any 2013 Note shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this 2013 Note) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, redemption date, repurchase date or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, redemption date, repurchase date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day; provided, however, that if any such next succeeding Business Day in respect of a 2013 Note is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Issuer upon written request any money or property held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the 2013 Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such return, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each such Holder notice that such money or property remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed money or property then remaining shall be returned to the Issuer. After return to the Issuer, Holders entitled to the money or property must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of this 2013 Note or (ii) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this 2013 Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of all outstanding 2013 Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Securities of all series then outstanding and affected (voting as one class).

The Indenture permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Securities of all series at the time outstanding with respect to which a default shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as one class) to waive on behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Securities of such series any past default by the Issuer, provided that no such waiver may be made with respect to a default in the payment of the principal of or the interest on any Security of such series or the default by the Issuer in respect of certain covenants or provisions of the Indenture, the modification or amendment of which must be consented to by the Holder of each outstanding Security of each series affected.

As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any 2013 Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each affected series (voting as one class) shall have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each affected series (voting as one class) a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or any interest on this 2013 Note on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this 2013 Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this 2013 Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this 2013 Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this 2013 Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this 2013 Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new 2013 Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The 2013 Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 2013 Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of 2013 Notes and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Issuer shall not be required to (i) issue, exchange or register the transfer of this 2013 Note for a period of 15 days next preceding the mailing of the notice of redemption of 2013 Notes or (ii) exchange or register the transfer of any 2013 Note or any portion thereof selected, called or being called for redemption, except in the case of any 2013 Note to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

Prior to due presentment of this 2013 Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this 2013 Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this 2013 Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All terms used in this 2013 Note without definition which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

SECTION 2.05. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. The Trustee’s certificates of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

ARTICLE III

CHANGE OF CONTROL

SECTION 3.01. Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (the effective date of such Change of Control Repurchase Event being the “Change of Control Date”), each Holder of a 2013 Note shall have the right to require that the Issuer repurchase (a “Required Repurchase”) all or any part of such Holder’s 2013 Note at a repurchase price payable in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such 2013 Note plus accrued interest to the Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”).

(a) Within 30 days following the Change of Control Date, the Issuer shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating:

(i) that a Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s 2013 Notes at the Change of Control Purchase Price;

(ii) the Change of Control Purchase Price;

(iii) the date on which any Required Repurchase shall be made (which shall be no earlier than 60 days nor later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Purchase Date”);

(iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent; and

(v) the procedures that Holders must follow to cause the 2013 Notes to be repurchased, which shall be consistent with this Section 3.01 and the Indenture.

(b) Holders electing to have a 2013 Note repurchased must deliver a written notice (the “Change of Control Purchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent (initially the Trustee) at its corporate trust office in New York, New York, or any other office of the Paying Agent maintained for such purposes, not later than 30 days prior to the Purchase Date. The Change of Control Purchase Notice shall state: (i) the portion of the principal amount of any 2013 Notes to be repurchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; (ii) that such 2013 Notes are to be repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to the change of control provisions of the Indenture; and (iii) unless the 2013 Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, the certificate numbers of the 2013 Notes to be delivered by the Holder thereof for repurchase by the Issuer. Any Change of Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by the Holder by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent not later than three Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. The notice of withdrawal shall state the principal amount and, if applicable, the certificate numbers of the 2013 Notes as to which the withdrawal notice relates and the principal amount of such 2013 Notes, if any, which remains subject to a Change of Control Purchase Notice.

If a 2013 Note is represented by a Global Note (as described in Article VI hereof), the Depositary or its nominee will be the Holder of such 2013 Note and therefore will be the only entity that can elect a Required Repurchase of such 2013 Note. To obtain repayment pursuant to this Section 3.01 with respect to such 2013 Note, the beneficial owner of such 2013 Note must provide to the broker or other entity through which it holds the beneficial interest in such 2013 Note (i) the Change of Control Purchase Notice signed by such beneficial owner, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, and (ii) instructions to such broker or other entity to notify the Depositary of such beneficial owner’s desire to obtain repayment pursuant to this Section 3.01. Such broker or other entity will provide to the Paying Agent (i) the Change of Control Purchase Notice received from such beneficial owner and (ii) a certificate satisfactory to the Paying Agent from such broker or other entity stating that it represents such beneficial owner. Such broker or other entity will be responsible for disbursing any payments it receives pursuant to this Section 3.01 to such beneficial owner.

(c) Payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price for a 2013 Note for which a Change of Control Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn is conditioned (except in the case of a 2013 Note represented by one or more Global Notes) upon delivery of such 2013 Note (together with necessary endorsements) to the Paying Agent at its office in New York, New York, or any other office of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose, at any time (whether prior to, on or after the Purchase Date) after the delivery of such Change of Control Purchase Notice. Payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price for such 2013 Note will be made promptly following the later of the Purchase Date or the time of delivery of such 2013 Note. If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, money sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price of such 2013 Note on the Business Day following the Purchase Date, then, on and after such date, interest will cease accruing, and all other rights of the Holder shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price upon delivery of the 2013 Note).

(d) The Issuer shall comply with the provisions of Regulation 14E and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, which may then be applicable in connection with any offer by the Issuer to repurchase 2013 Notes at the option of Holders upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(e) No 2013 Note may be repurchased by the Issuer as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect to the 2013 Notes).

ARTICLE VI

GLOBAL NOTES

The 2013 Notes will be issued initially in the form of Global Notes. “Global Note” means a registered 2013 Note evidencing one or more 2013 Notes issued to a depositary (the “Depositary”) or its nominee, in accordance with this Article VI and bearing the legend prescribed in this Article VI. One or more Global Notes will represent all 2013 Notes. The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Article VI and the Issuer Order with respect to the 2013 Notes, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Notes in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Notes to be represented by such Global Note or Global Notes, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless the Global 2013 Note is presented by an authorized representative of the Depositary to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depositary (and any payment is made to such nominee of the Depositary or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depositary), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any Person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof has an interest herein.”

Notwithstanding Section 2.8 of the Original Indenture, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for 2013 Notes in definitive form, a Global Note representing one or more 2013 Notes may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary, to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for 2013 Notes or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

If at any time the Depositary for the 2013 Notes is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the 2013 Notes, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the 2013 Notes. If a successor Depositary for the 2013 Notes is not appointed by the Issuer by the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date the Issuer receives notice to the effect that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to act, or the Issuer determines that the Depositary is unable to act or (ii) the effectiveness of the Depositary’s resignation or failure to fulfill its duties as Depositary, the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive 2013 Notes, will authenticate and deliver 2013 Notes in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note or Global Notes representing such 2013 Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes.

The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the 2013 Notes issued in the form of one or more Global Notes shall no longer be represented by such Global Note or Global Notes. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive 2013 Notes, will authenticate and deliver 2013 Notes in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note or Global Notes representing such 2013 Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes.

The Depositary for such 2013 Notes may surrender a Global Note or Global Notes for such 2013 Notes in exchange in whole or in part for 2013 Notes in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge:

(i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new 2013 Note or 2013 Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Note; and

(ii) to such Depositary a new Global Note in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Note and the aggregate principal amount of 2013 Notes in definitive form delivered to Holders thereof.

In any exchange provided for in this Article VI, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver 2013 Notes in definitive registered form in authorized denominations.

Upon the exchange of a Global Note for 2013 Notes in definitive form, such Global Note shall be cancelled by the Trustee. 2013 Notes in definitive form issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Article VI shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or Security Registrar. The Trustee shall deliver such 2013 Notes to the Persons in whose names such 2013 Notes are so registered.

ARTICLE VII

ARTICLE VIII

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

This Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture is a supplement to the Original Indenture. As supplemented by this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified, approved and confirmed, and the Original Indenture and this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

In addition to those matters set forth in Section 8.2 of the Original Indenture (including the terms and conditions of the 2013 Notes set forth herein), with respect to the 2013 Notes, no amendment or supplemental indenture to the Indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each 2013 Note affected thereby:

(a) reduce the redemption price or Change of Control Purchase Price of the 2013 Notes; or

(b) change the terms applicable to redemption or purchase of the 2013 Notes in a manner adverse to the Holder.

In addition, with respect to the 2013 Notes, notwithstanding Section 5.10 of the Original Indenture, approval of the Holders of each outstanding 2013 Note shall be required to waive any default by the Issuer in any payment of the redemption price or Change of Control Purchase Price with respect to any 2013 Notes.

TESTIMONIUM

This Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year first written above.
