CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY
FIRST MORTGAGE BOND
COLLATERAL SERIES (INTEREST BEARING) DUE 2003
This bond is one of the bonds of a series designated as First Mortgage
Bonds, Collateral Series (Interest Bearing) due 2003 (sometimes herein referred
to as the "2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds") issued under and in
accordance with and secured by an Indenture dated as of September 1, 1945, given
by the Company (or its predecessor, Consumers Power Company, a Maine
corporation) to City Bank Farmers Trust Company (JPMorgan Chase Bank, successor)
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Trustee"), together with indentures
supplemental thereto, heretofore or hereafter executed, to which indenture and
indentures supplemental thereto (hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Indenture") reference is hereby made for a description of the property
mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security and the rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee and the rights of the holders of
said bonds and of the Trustee and of the Company in respect of such security,
and the limitations on such rights. By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds to
be secured thereby are issuable in series which may vary as to date, amount,
date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the
Indenture.
The 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds are to be issued and
delivered to the Agent in order to evidence and secure the obligation of the
Company under the Credit Agreement to make payments to the Banks under the
Credit Agreement and to provide the Banks the benefit of the lien of the
Indenture with respect to the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the
principal of 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially,
as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time
that any such payment shall be due, the then due principal of the IB Percentage
of the Loans and/or IB Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations included in
the IB Percentage of the Obligations shall have been fully or partially
paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with
respect to the IB Percentage of the Loans and/or the IB Percentage of the
Reimbursement Obligations means that if any payment is made on the principal of
the IB Percentage of the Loans and/or the IB Percentage of the Reimbursement
Obligations, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the principal of
the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be deemed discharged in the
same amount as the payment with respect to the IB Percentage of the Loans and/or
the IB Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations discharges the outstanding
obligation with respect to such IB Percentage of the Loans and/or IB Percentage
of the Reimbursement Obligations. No such payment of principal shall reduce the
principal amount of the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the
interest on 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially,
as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time
that any such payment shall be due, the IB Percentage of the then due interest
and/or fees under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially
-2-
paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with
respect to the IB Percentage of the interest and/or fees under the Credit
Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees under
the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the
interest on the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be deemed
discharged in the same amount as the payment with respect to the IB Percentage
of the Loans and/or the IB Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations
discharges the outstanding obligation with respect to such IB Percentage of the
Loans and/or IB Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations.
The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the
obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and
interest on this bond, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has
been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until the Trustee shall have
received a written notice from the Agent stating (i) that timely payment of
principal and interest on the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds has not
been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be
made by it to the Agent in connection with the Obligations pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, and (iii) the IB Percentage of the amount of the arrearage.
If an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with
respect to the payment of the principal of the Loans and/or the Reimbursement
Obligations shall have occurred, it shall be deemed to be a default for purposes
of Section 11.01 of the Indenture in the payment of the principal of the 2003
Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds equal to the IB Percentage of the amount of
such unpaid principal or Reimbursement Obligations (but in no event in excess of
the principal amount of the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds). If an Event
of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect to the payment of
interest on the Loans and/or the Reimbursement Obligations or any fees shall
have occurred, it shall be deemed to be a default for purposes of Section 11.01
of the Indenture in the payment of the interest on the 2003 Interest Bearing
Collateral Bonds equal to the IB Percentage of the amount of such unpaid
interest or fees.
This bond is not redeemable except upon written demand of the Agent
following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and
the acceleration of the Obligations, as provided in Section 9.2 of the Credit
Agreement. This bond is not redeemable by the operation of the improvement fund
or the maintenance and replacement provisions of the Indenture or with the
proceeds of released property.
In case of certain defaults as specified in the Indenture, the
principal of this bond may be declared or may become due and payable on the
conditions, at the time, in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. The holders of certain specified percentages of the bonds at the time
outstanding, including in certain cases specified percentages of bonds of
particular series, may in certain cases, to the extent and as provided in the
Indenture, waive certain defaults thereunder and the consequences of such
defaults.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five per
centum in principal amount of the bonds (exclusive of bonds disqualified by
reason of the Company's interest therein) at the time outstanding, including, if
more than one series of bonds shall be at the time outstanding, not less
-3-
than sixty per centum in principal amount of each series affected, to effect, by
an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, modifications or alterations of the
Indenture and of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
holders of the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such modification
or alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent of the
holder hereof which will (a) extend the maturity of this bond or reduce the rate
or extend the time of payment of interest hereon or reduce the amount of the
principal hereof, or (b) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise
permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture, or (c) reduce
the percentage of the principal amount of the bonds the holders of which are
required to approve any such supplemental indenture.
The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or other
action by holders of the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds or any other
series created after the Sixty-eighth Supplemental Indenture, to amend the
Indenture to reduce the percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders
of which are required to approve any supplemental indenture (other than any
supplemental indenture which is subject to the proviso contained in the
immediately preceding sentence) (a) from not less than seventy-five per centum
(including sixty per centum of each series affected) to not less than a majority
in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding or (b) in case fewer
than all series are affected, not less than a majority in principal amount of
the bonds of all affected series, voting together.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or
interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect
hereof or of the Indenture, to or against any incorporator, stockholder,
director or officer, past, present or future, as such, of the Company, or of any
predecessor or successor company, either directly or through the Company, or
such predecessor or successor company, or otherwise, under any constitution or
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or
otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, stockholders, directors and
officers, as such, being waived and released by the holder and owner hereof by
the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms
of the Indenture.
This bond shall be exchangeable for other registered bonds of the same
series, in the manner and upon the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, upon
the surrender of such bonds at the Investor Services Department of the Company,
as transfer agent. However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05 of
the Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of bonds of said series other than for any tax or taxes or other
governmental charge required to be paid by the Company.
The Agent shall surrender this bond to the Trustee when all of the
principal of and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations arising
under the Credit Agreement, and all of the fees payable pursuant to the Credit
Agreement with respect to the Obligations shall have been duly paid, and the
Credit Agreement shall have been terminated.

FIRST MORTGAGE BOND
COLLATERAL SERIES (ZERO RATE) DUE 2003
This bond is one of the bonds of a series designated as First Mortgage
Bonds, Collateral Series (Zero Rate) due 2003 (sometimes herein referred to as
the "2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds") issued under and in accordance with and
secured by an Indenture dated as of September 1, 1945, given by the Company (or
its predecessor, Consumers Power Company, a Maine corporation) to City Bank
Farmers Trust Company (JPMorgan Chase Bank, successor) (hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the "Trustee"), together with indentures supplemental thereto,
heretofore or hereafter executed, to which indenture and indentures supplemental
thereto (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Indenture") reference is
hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature
and extent of the security and the rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Trustee and the rights of the holders of said bonds and of the Trustee and
of the Company in respect of such security, and the limitations on such rights.
By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds to be secured thereby are issuable in
series which may vary as to date, amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and
in other respects as provided in the Indenture.
The 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds are to be issued and delivered to
the Agent in order to evidence and secure the obligation of the Company under
the Credit Agreement to make payments to the Banks and to provide the Banks the
benefit of the lien of the Indenture with respect to the 2003 Zero Rate
Collateral Bonds.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the
principal of 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the
case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any
such payment shall be due, the then due principal of the ZR Percentage of the
Loans and/or the ZR Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations, and the
then-due ZR Percentage of payment obligations with respect to interest and/or
fees under the Credit Agreement, shall have been fully or partially paid.
Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect
to the ZR Percentage of the Loans, the ZR Percentage of the Reimbursement
Obligations, or the ZR Percentage of interest and/or fees under the Credit
Agreement means that if any payment is made on the principal of the ZR
Percentage of the Loans and/or the ZR Percentage of the Reimbursement
Obligations, or if any payment is made on the ZR Percentage of the interest
and/or fees under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with
respect to the principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds shall be deemed
discharged in the same amount as the payment with respect to the ZR Percentage
of the Loans, the ZR Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations, or the ZR
Percentage of the interest and/or fees discharges the outstanding obligation
with respect to such ZR Percentage of the Loans, ZR Percentage of the
Reimbursement Obligations, or the ZR Percentage of the interest and/or fees. No
payment of principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds attributable to any
payment of the principal of Loans or Reimbursement Obligations shall reduce the
principal amount of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds, but any payment of
S-8
principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds attributable to any payment of
interest or fees under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal of the
2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds.
The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the
obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of this
bond, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully
satisfied and discharged unless and until the Trustee shall have received a
written notice from the Agent stating (i) that timely payment of principal on
the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is
in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in
connection with the Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the
ZR Percentage of the amount of the arrearage.
If an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with
respect to the payment of the principal of the Loans and/or the Reimbursement
Obligations and/or any interest or fees shall have occurred, it shall be deemed
to be a default for purposes of Section 11.01 of the Indenture in the payment of
the principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds equal to the ZR Percentage
of the amount of such unpaid principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest
and/or fees (but in no event in excess of the principal amount of the 2003 Zero
Rate Collateral Bonds).
This bond is not redeemable except upon written demand of the Agent
following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and
the acceleration of the Obligations, as provided in Section 9.2 of the Credit
Agreement. This bond is not redeemable by the operation of the improvement fund
or the maintenance and replacement provisions of the Indenture or with the
proceeds of released property.
In case of certain defaults as specified in the Indenture, the
principal of this bond may be declared or may become due and payable on the
conditions, at the time, in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. The holders of certain specified percentages of the bonds at the time
outstanding, including in certain cases specified percentages of bonds of
particular series, may in certain cases, to the extent and as provided in the
Indenture, waive certain defaults thereunder and the consequences of such
defaults.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than seventy-five per
centum in principal amount of the bonds (exclusive of bonds disqualified by
reason of the Company's interest therein) at the time outstanding, including, if
more than one series of bonds shall be at the time outstanding, not less than
sixty per centum in principal amount of each series affected, to effect, by an
indenture supplemental to the Indenture, modifications or alterations of the
Indenture and of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
holders of the bonds and coupons; provided, however, that no such modification
or alteration shall be made without the written approval or consent of the
holder hereof which will (a) extend the maturity of this bond or reduce the
amount of the principal hereof, or (b) permit the creation of any lien, not
otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with the lien of the Indenture, or
(c) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of the bonds the holders of
which are required to approve any such supplemental indenture.
The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or other
action by holders of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds or any other series
created after the Sixty-eighth Supplemental Indenture, to amend the Indenture to
reduce the percentage of the principal amount
S-9
of bonds the holders of which are required to approve any supplemental indenture
(other than any supplemental indenture which is subject to the proviso contained
in the immediately preceding sentence) (a) from not less than seventy-five per
centum (including sixty per centum of each series affected) to not less than a
majority in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding or (b) in case
fewer than all series are affected, not less than a majority in principal amount
of the bonds of all affected series, voting together.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal on this bond,
or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the
Indenture, to or against any incorporator, stockholder, director or officer,
past, present or future, as such, of the Company, or of any predecessor or
successor company, either directly or through the Company, or such predecessor
or successor company, or otherwise, under any constitution or statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such
liability of incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers, as such, being
waived and released by the holder and owner hereof by the acceptance of this
bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.
This bond shall be exchangeable for other registered bonds of the same
series, in the manner and upon the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, upon
the surrender of such bonds at the Investor Services Department of the Company,
as transfer agent. However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05 of
the Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of bonds of said series other than for any tax or taxes or other
governmental charge required to be paid by the Company.
The Agent shall surrender this bond to the Trustee when all of the
principal of and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations arising
under the Credit Agreement, and all of the fees payable pursuant to the Credit
Agreement with respect to the Obligations shall have been duly paid, and the
Credit Agreement shall have been terminated.

Indenture) with the tolls, rents, revenues, issues, earnings, income, products
and profits thereof, excepting, however, the property, interests and rights
specifically excepted from the lien of the Indenture as set forth in the
Indenture.
TOGETHER WITH all and singular the tenements, hereditaments and

said premises, property, franchises and rights hereby conveyed, assigned,
pledged or mortgaged, or intended so to be, unto the Trustee, its successor or
successors in trust and their assigns forever;
BUT IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS, with power of sale for the equal and
proportionate benefit and security of the holders of all bonds now or hereafter
authenticated and delivered under and secured by the Indenture and interest
coupons appurtenant thereto, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture and of
any supplemental indenture, and for the enforcement of the payment of said bonds
and coupons when payable and the performance of and compliance with the
covenants and conditions of the Indenture and of any supplemental indenture,
without any preference, distinction or priority as to lien or otherwise of any
bond or bonds over others by reason of the difference in time of the actual
authentication, delivery, issue, sale or negotiation thereof or for any other
reason whatsoever, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Indenture; and
so that each and every bond now or hereafter authenticated and delivered
thereunder shall have the same lien, and so that the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest
S-11
on every such bond shall, subject to the terms thereof, be equally and
proportionately secured, as if it had been made, executed, authenticated,
delivered, sold and negotiated simultaneously with the execution and delivery
thereof.
AND IT IS EXPRESSLY DECLARED by the Company that all bonds
authenticated and delivered under and secured by the Indenture, as supplemented
and amended as above set forth, are to be issued, authenticated and delivered,
and all said premises, property, franchises and rights hereby and by the
Indenture and indentures supplemental thereto conveyed, assigned, pledged or
mortgaged, or intended so to be, are to be dealt with and disposed of under,
upon and subject to the terms, conditions, stipulations, covenants, agreements,
trusts, uses and purposes expressed in the Indenture, as supplemented and
amended as above set forth, and the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
SECTION 1. There is hereby created two (2) series of bonds (the "2003
Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds" and the "2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds")
designated as hereinabove provided, both of which shall also bear the
descriptive title "First Mortgage Bond", and the forms thereof shall be
substantially as hereinbefore set forth (collectively, the "Sample Bonds"). The
2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate
principal amount of $22,500,000, shall mature on July 11, 2003 and shall be
issued only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and
any multiple thereof. The 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds shall be issued in the
aggregate principal amount of $227,500,000, shall mature on July 11, 2003 and
shall be issued only as registered bonds without coupons in denominations of
$1,000 and any multiple thereof. The serial numbers of the Collateral Bonds
shall be such as may be approved by any officer of the Company, the execution
thereof by any such officer either manually or by facsimile signature to be
conclusive evidence of such approval. The Collateral Bonds are to be issued to
and registered in the name of the Agent under the Credit Agreement (as such
terms are defined in the Sample Bonds) to evidence and secure any and all
Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company
under the Credit Agreement.
The 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall bear interest as set
forth in the Form of Registered Bond of the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral
Bonds hereinbefore set forth (the "Interest Bearing Sample Bond"). The principal
of and the interest on said bonds shall be payable as set forth in the Interest
Bearing Sample Bond. The principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds shall
be payable as set forth in the Form of Registered Bond of the 2003 Zero Rate
Collateral Bonds hereinbefore set forth (the "Zero Rate Sample Bond"). All
payments of interest with respect to the Obligations shall be applied to the
Collateral Bonds according to the IB Percentage (in the case of the 2003
Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds) or the ZR Percentage (in the case of the 2003
Zero Rate Collateral Bonds), as applicable. "IB Percentage" and "ZR Percentage"
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Interest Bearing Sample
Bond and the Zero Rate Sample Bond, respectively.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the
principal of 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially,
as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time
that any such payment shall be due, the then due principal of the IB Percentage
of the Loans and/or IB Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations included in
the IB Percentage of the Obligations shall have been fully or partially paid.
Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect
to the IB
S-12
Percentage of the Loans and/or the IB Percentage of the Reimbursement
Obligations means that if any payment is made on the principal of the IB
Percentage of the Loans and/or the IB Percentage of the Reimbursement
Obligations, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the principal of
the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be deemed discharged in the
same amount as the payment with respect to the IB Percentage of the Loans and/or
the IB Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations discharges the outstanding
obligation with respect to such IB Percentage of the Loans and/or IB Percentage
of the Reimbursement Obligations. No such payment of principal shall reduce the
principal amount of the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the
interest on 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially,
as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time
that any such payment shall be due, the IB Percentage of the then due interest
and/or fees under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid.
Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect
to the IB Percentage of the interest and/or fees under the Credit Agreement
means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees under the Credit
Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on
the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds shall be deemed discharged in the
same amount as the payment with respect to the IB Percentage of the Loans and/or
the IB Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations discharges the outstanding
obligation with respect to such IB Percentage of the Loans and/or IB Percentage
of the Reimbursement Obligations.
The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the
principal of 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the
case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any
such payment shall be due, the then due principal of the ZR Percentage of the
Loans and/or the ZR Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations, and the
then-due ZR Percentage of payment obligations with respect to interest and/or
fees under the Credit Agreement, shall have been fully or partially paid.
Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect
to the ZR Percentage of the Loans, the ZR Percentage of the Reimbursement
Obligations, or the ZR Percentage of interest and/or fees under the Credit
Agreement means that if any payment is made on the principal of the ZR
Percentage of the Loans and/or the ZR Percentage of the Reimbursement
Obligations, or if any payment is made on the ZR Percentage of the interest
and/or fees under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with
respect to the principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds shall be deemed
discharged in the same amount as the payment with respect to the ZR Percentage
of the Loans, the ZR Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligations, or the ZR
Percentage of the interest and/or fees discharges the outstanding obligation
with respect to such ZR Percentage of the Loans, ZR Percentage of the
Reimbursement Obligations, or the ZR Percentage of the interest and/or fees. No
payment of principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds attributable to any
payment of the principal of Loans or Reimbursement Obligations shall reduce the
principal amount of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds, but any payment of
principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds attributable to any payment of
interest or fees under the Credit Agreement shall be applied to reduce the
principal of the 2003 Zero Rate Collateral Bonds.
S-13
The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the
obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and
interest on the Collateral Bonds, so far as such payments at the time have
become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until the Trustee
shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (i) that timely
payment of principal and interest on the 2003 Interest Bearing Collateral Bonds
has not been made or that timely payment of principal on the 2003 Zero Rate
Collateral Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to
the payments required to be made by it to the Agent pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.
The Collateral Bonds shall be exchangeable for other registered bonds
of the same series, in the manner and upon the conditions prescribed in the
Indenture, upon the surrender of such bonds at the Investor Services Department
of the Company, as transfer agent. However, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.05 of the Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of bonds of said series other than for any tax or taxes or
other governmental charge required to be paid by the Company.
SECTION 2. The Collateral Bonds are not redeemable by the operation of
the maintenance and replacement provisions of this Indenture or with the
proceeds of released property.
SECTION 3. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement and the acceleration of the Obligations, the Collateral Bonds shall be
redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand from the
Agent stating that there has occurred under the Credit Agreement both an Event
of Default and a declaration of acceleration of the Obligations and demanding
redemption of the Collateral Bonds (including a description of the amount of
principal, interest and fees which comprise such Obligations). The Company
waives any right it may have to prior notice of such redemption under the
Indenture. Upon surrender of the Collateral Bonds by the Agent to the Trustee,
the Collateral Bonds shall be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the
aggregate amount of the Obligations.
SECTION 4. The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or
other action by the holder of the Collateral Bonds or of any subsequent series
of bonds issued under the Indenture, to make such amendments to the Indenture,
as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Section 17.02 to read
as follows:
SECTION 17.02. With the consent of the holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the bonds at the time
outstanding or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, or, if fewer
than all series are affected, not less than a majority in principal
amount of the bonds at the time outstanding of each series the rights
of the holders of which are affected, voting together, the Company,
when authorized by a resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time
and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or modifying the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the holders of any of the bonds and coupons;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (1) extend
the maturity of any of the bonds or reduce the rate or
S-14
extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the amount of
the principal thereof, or reduce any premium payable on the redemption
thereof, without the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, or
(2) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to
or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture, without the consent of
the holders of all the bonds then outstanding, or (3) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders of
which are required to approve any such supplemental indenture, without
the consent of the holders of all the bonds then outstanding. For the
purposes of this Section, bonds shall be deemed to be affected by a
supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture adversely affects
or diminishes the rights of holders thereof against the Company or
against its property. The Trustee may in its discretion determine
whether or not, in accordance with the foregoing, bonds of any
particular series would be affected by any supplemental indenture and
any such determination shall be conclusive upon the holders of bonds of
such series and all other series. Subject to the provisions of Sections
16.02 and 16.03 hereof, the Trustee shall not be liable for any
determination made in good faith in connection herewith.
Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a
resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the
consent of bondholders as aforesaid (the instrument or instruments
evidencing such consent to be dated within one year of such request),
the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall
not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the bondholders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof.
The Company and the Trustee, if they so elect, and either
before or after such consent has been obtained, may require the holder
of any bond consenting to the execution of any such supplemental
indenture to submit his bond to the Trustee or to ask such bank, banker
or trust company as may be designated by the Trustee for the purpose,
for the notation thereon of the fact that the holder of such bond has
consented to the execution of such supplemental indenture, and in such
case such notation, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, shall be made
upon all bonds so submitted, and such bonds bearing such notation shall
forthwith be returned to the persons entitled thereto.
Prior to the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the
Company shall publish a notice, setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture, at least once in one daily
newspaper of general circulation in each city in which the principal of
any of the bonds shall be
S-15
payable, or, if all bonds outstanding shall be registered bonds without
coupons or coupon bonds registered as to principal, such notice shall
be sufficiently given if mailed, first class, postage prepaid, and
registered if the Company so elects, to each registered holder of bonds
at the last address of such holder appearing on the registry books,
such publication or mailing, as the case may be, to be made not less
than thirty days prior to such execution. Any failure of the Company to
give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
SECTION 5. As supplemented and amended as above set forth, the
Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto shall be read, taken and construed as one and
the same instrument.
SECTION 6. Nothing contained in this Supplemental Indenture shall, or
shall be construed to, confer upon any person other than a holder of bonds
issued under the Indenture, as supplemented and amended as above set forth, the
Company, the Trustee and the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks (as such term
is defined in the Credit Agreement), any right or interest to avail himself of
any benefit under any provision of the Indenture, as so supplemented and
amended.
SECTION 7. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for or in respect of
the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Indenture
as hereby supplemented or the due execution hereof by the Company or for or in
respect of the recitals and statements contained herein (other than those
contained in the sixth, seventh and eighth recitals hereof), all of which
recitals and statements are made solely by the Company.
SECTION 8. This Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed
in several counterparts and all such counterparts executed and delivered, each
as an original, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 9. In the event the date of any notice required or permitted
hereunder shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision
of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture thereto) such notice need not
be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the date fixed for such notice.
"Business Day" means, with respect to this Section 9, any day, other than a
Saturday or Sunday, on which banks generally are open in Chicago, Illinois and
New York, New York for the conduct of substantially all of their commercial
lending activities and on which interbank wire transfers can be made on the
Fedwire system.
SECTION 10. This Supplemental Indenture and the Collateral Bonds shall
be governed by and deemed to be a contract under, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Michigan, and for all purposes shall be construed
in accordance with the laws of such state, except as may otherwise be required
by mandatory provisions of law.
