##### 



The bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be issued as registered bonds without coupons in
denominations of a multiple of $1,000. The bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be issued
in the aggregate principal amount of $68,500,000, shall mature on December 1, 2036
(subject to earlier redemption or release) and shall bear interest at the rate of
interest established for the Strategic Fund Bonds from time to time in accordance
with the Strategic Fund Indenture, payable on such dates as interest shall be
payable on the Strategic Fund Bonds, until the principal thereof shall have become
due and payable and thereafter until the Companys obligation with respect to the
payment of said principal shall have been discharged as provided in the Indenture.The bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and
interest as provided in the Indenture, but only to the extent and in the manner
herein provided. The bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be payable, as to principal,
premium, if any, and interest, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough
of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, in any coin or currency of the United
States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and
private debts.Except as provided herein, each bond of 2008 Series DT shall be dated the date of
its authentication and interest shall be payable on the principal represented
thereby from the next preceding date to which interest has been paid on bonds of
2008 Series DT, unless the bond is authenticated on a date to which interest has
been paid, in which case interest shall be payable from the date of authentication,
or unless the date of authentication is prior to the first date on which interest is
payable on the Strategic Fund Bonds, in which case interest shall be payable from
April 11, 2008.The bonds of 2008 Series DT in definitive form shall be, at the election of the
Company, fully engraved or shall be lithographed or printed in authorized
denominations as aforesaid and numbered R-1 and upwards (with such further
designation as may be appropriate and desirable to indicate by such designation the
form, series and denomination of bonds of 2008 Series DT). Until bonds of 2008
Series DT in definitive form are ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and
upon its request in writing the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in lieu
thereof, bonds of 2008 Series DT in temporary form, as provided in Section 10 of
Article II of the Indenture. Temporary bonds of 2008 Series DT, if any, may be
printed and may be issued in authorized denominations in substantially the form of
definitive bonds of 2008 Series DT, but without a recital of redemption prices and
with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
bonds, all as may be determined by the Company.Interest on any bond of 2008 Series DT that is payable on any interest payment date
and is punctually paid or duly provided for shall be paid to the person in whose
name that bond, or any previous bond to the extent evidencing the same debt as that
evidenced by that bond, is registered at the close of business on the regular record
date for such interest, which regular record date shall be the record date for the
Strategic Fund Bonds with respect to such interest payment date. If the Company
shall default in the payment of the interest due on any interest payment date on the
principal represented by any bond of 2008 Series DT, such defaulted interest shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder of that bond on the relevant
regular record date by virtue of his having been such holder, and such defaulted
interest may be paid to the registered
 12

holder of that bond (or any bond or bonds of
2008 Series DT issued upon transfer or exchange thereof) on the date of payment of
such defaulted interest or, at the election of the Company, to the person in whose
name that bond (or any bond or bonds of 2008 Series DT issued upon transfer or
exchange thereof) is registered on a subsequent record date established by notice
given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of bonds of 2008 Series
DT not less than ten (10) days preceding such subsequent record date, which
subsequent record date shall be at least five (5) days prior to the payment date of
such defaulted interest.Bonds of 2008 Series DT shall not be assignable or transferable except as may be set
forth under Section 405 of the Note Indenture or in the supplemental note indenture
relating to the Notes, or, subject to compliance with applicable law, as may be
involved in the course of the exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an
Event of Default under the Note Indenture. Any such transfer shall be made upon
surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, together with a written
instrument of transfer (if so required by the Company or by the Trustee) in form
approved by the Company duly executed by the holder or by its duly authorized
attorney.Bonds of 2008 Series DT shall in the same manner be exchangeable for a
like aggregate principal amount of bonds of 2008 Series DT upon the terms and
conditions specified herein and in Section 7 of Article II of the Indenture. The
Company waives its rights under Section 7 of Article II of the Indenture not to make
exchanges or transfers of bonds of 2008 Series DT during any period of ten (10) days
next preceding any redemption date for such bonds.Bonds of 2008 Series DT, in definitive and temporary form, may bear such legends as
may be necessary to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations made
pursuant thereto or as may be specified in the Note Indenture.Upon payment of the principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, whether
at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, or upon provision for
the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article V of the Note
Indenture, bonds of 2008 Series DT in a principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Notes, shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium or
interest, be deemed fully paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder to make
such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged, and, in the case of the
payment of principal and premium, if any, such bonds shall be surrendered for
cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee.In the event the Company desires to provide for the payment of bonds of 2008 Series
DT, in lieu of defeasing such bonds in accordance with the Indenture, it shall
either redeem an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund Bonds or take such action
as shall be required by Article VIII of the Strategic Fund Indenture to defease an
equal principal amount of the Strategic Fund Bonds. Pursuant to Section 2.03(c) of
the Twenty-Third Supplemental Indenture to the Note Indenture dated April 1, 2008,
such redemption or defeasance shall result in the discharge of the Companys
obligation with respect to such Notes and the
 13

##### 



cancellation thereof which, in
accordance with the preceding paragraph, shall result in the discharge of the
Companys obligation with respect to the applicable bonds of 2008 Series DT and
cancellation thereof.Any amount payable by the Company in respect of principal of bonds of 2008 Series
DT, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or upon acceleration or
otherwise, in a circumstance where there has not been a corresponding payment of
principal of Strategic Fund Bonds shall be applied simultaneously to the redemption
or defeasance of an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund Bonds in accordance
with the Strategic Fund Indenture. In the event the amount so paid is insufficient
to provide for such redemption or defeasance, the Company shall pay such additional
amount as shall be necessary to make up for the deficiency.RELEASE.
    
    SECTION 2. From and after the Release Date (as defined in the Note Indenture), the
bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged and the
obligation of the Company thereunder shall be terminated. On the Release Date, the
bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be surrendered to and canceled by the Trustee. The
Company covenants and agrees that, prior to the Release Date, it will not take any
action that would cause the outstanding principal amount of the bonds of 2008 Series
DT to be less than the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes.REDEMPTION OF BONDS
OF 2008 SERIES DT.
    
    SECTION 3. Bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be redeemed on the respective dates and in
the respective principal amounts which correspond to the redemption dates for, and
the principal amounts to be redeemed of, the Notes.In the event the Company elects to redeem any Notes prior to maturity in accordance
with the provisions of the Note Indenture, the Company shall give the Trustee notice
of redemption of bonds of 2008 Series DT on the same date as it gives notice of
redemption of Notes to the Note Indenture Trustee.REDEMPTION OF BONDS

    SECTION 4. In the event of an Event of Default under the Note Indenture and the
acceleration of all Notes, the bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be redeemable in whole
upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand (hereinafter called a Redemption
Demand) from the Note Indenture Trustee stating that there has occurred under the
Note Indenture both an Event of Default and a declaration of acceleration of payment
of principal, accrued interest and premium, if any, on the Notes, specifying the
last date to which interest on the Notes has been paid (such date being hereinafter
referred to as the Initial Interest Accrual Date) and demanding redemption of the
bonds of said series. In addition, in the event of a required redemption of the
Notes upon demand of the Bond Trustee prior to the Release Date upon a declaration
of acceleration of the payment of the Strategic Fund Bonds, the bonds of 2008 Series
DT shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a Redemption Demand
from the Note Indenture Trustee stating that such redemption of the Notes is
required, stating that the redemption price was not paid when due and demanding
redemption of the bonds of 2008 Series DT. The Trustee shall, within five (5) days
after receiving such Redemption Demand, mail a copy thereof to the Company marked to
indicate the date of its receipt by the Trustee. Promptly upon receipt by the
Company of such copy of a Redemption Demand, the Company shall fix a date on which
it will redeem the bonds of said series so demanded to be redeemed (hereinafter
called the

Demand Redemption Date). Notice of the date fixed as the Demand
Redemption Date shall be mailed by the Company to the Trustee at least ten (10) days

(x) the 60th day after receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand or (y) the
maturity date of such bonds first occurring following the 20th day after the receipt
by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand; provided, however, that if the Trustee
shall not have received such notice fixing the Demand Redemption Date on or before
the 10th day preceding the earlier of such dates, the Demand Redemption Date shall
be deemed to be the earlier of such dates. The Trustee shall mail notice of the
Demand Redemption Date (such notice being hereinafter called the Demand Redemption
Notice) to the Note Indenture Trustee not more than ten (10) nor less than five (5)
days prior to the Demand Redemption Date.Each bond of 2008 Series DT shall be redeemed by the Company on the Demand
Redemption Date therefor upon surrender thereof by the Note Indenture Trustee to the
Trustee at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest thereon at the rate specified for such bond from the Initial Interest
Accrual Date to the Demand Redemption Date plus an amount equal to the aggregate
premium, if any, due and payable on such Demand Redemption Date on all Notes;
provided, however, that in the event of a receipt by the Trustee of a notice that,
pursuant to Section 602 of the Note Indenture, the Note Indenture Trustee has
terminated proceedings to enforce any right under the Note Indenture, then any
Redemption Demand shall thereby be rescinded by the Note Indenture Trustee, and no
Demand Redemption Notice shall be given, or, if already given, shall be
automatically annulled; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee is not
authorized to take any action pursuant to a Redemption Demand and such Redemption
Demand shall be of no force or effect, unless it is executed in the name of the Note
Indenture Trustee by its President or one of its Vice Presidents.FORM

State of Michigan, for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A., as Note Indenture Trustee, or registered assigns, at the
Companys office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New
York, the principal sum of  Dollars ($) in lawful
money of the United States of America on December 1, 2036 (subject to earlier
redemption or release) and interest thereon at the rate of interest established for
the Strategic Fund Bonds from time to time in accordance with the Strategic Fund
Indenture, in like lawful money, from April __, 2008, and after the first payment of
interest on bonds of this Series has been made or otherwise provided for, from the
most recent date to which interest has been paid or otherwise provided for, on such
dates as interest shall be payable on the Strategic Fund Bonds, until the Companys
obligation with respect to payment of said principal shall have been discharged, all
as provided, to the extent and in the manner specified in the Indenture hereinafter
mentioned and in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which this bond has been
issued.Under a Collateral Trust Indenture, dated as of June 30, 1993, as amended and as
further supplemented as of April 1, 2008 (hereinafter called the Note Indenture),
between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor
trustee (hereinafter called the Note Indenture Trustee), the Company has issued
its 2008 Series DT Variable Rate Senior Notes due 2036 (the Notes). This bond was

Notes. Payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes
shall constitute like payments on this bond as further provided herein and in the
supplemental indenture pursuant to which this bond has been issued.The Notes were issued to secure the Companys obligations under the Loan Agreement

improvement or analogous fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any
particular series and except as provided in Section 3 of Article VI of said
Indenture) by an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1924, duly executed by the
Company to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as successor Trustee, to

Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including the Supplemental
Indenture dated as of April 1, 2008) reference is hereby made for a description of
the properties and franchises mortgaged and conveyed, the nature and extent of the
security, the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are issued and under which
additional bonds may be issued, and the rights of the holders of the bonds and of
the Trustee in respect of such security (which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 1,
2008, are hereinafter collectively called the Indenture). As provided in the
Indenture, said bonds may be for various principal sums and are issuable in series,
which may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may
otherwise vary as in said Indenture provided. With the consent of the Company and
to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Indenture, the rights and
obligations of the Company and of the holders of the bonds and the terms and
provisions of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, may be

percent (85%) in amount of the bonds then outstanding, and, if the rights of one or
more, but less than all, series of bonds then outstanding are to be affected by the
action proposed to be taken, then also by affirmative vote of at least eighty-five
percent (85%) in amount of the series of bonds so to be affected (excluding in every
instance bonds disqualified from voting by reason of the Companys interest therein
as specified in the Indenture); provided, however, that, without the consent of the
holder hereof, no such modification or alteration shall, among other things, affect
the terms of payment of the principal of or the interest on this bond, which in
those respects is unconditional.This bond is redeemable prior to the Release Date upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture, including provision for redemption upon demand of the Note
Indenture Trustee following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note
Indenture and the acceleration of the principal of the Notes and including provision
for redemption upon demand of the Note Indenture Trustee in the event of a required
redemption of the Notes following a declaration of acceleration of the Strategic
Fund Bonds, such demand stating that such redemption of the Notes is required,
stating that the redemption price thereof was not paid when due and demanding
redemption of this bond.Under the Indenture, funds may be deposited with the Trustee (which shall have
become available for payment), in advance of the redemption date of any of the bonds
of 2008 Series DT (or portions thereof), in trust for the redemption of such bonds
(or portions thereof) and the interest due or to become due thereon, and thereupon
all obligations of the Company in respect of such bonds (or portions thereof) so to
be redeemed and such interest shall cease and be discharged, and the holders thereof
shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any and all claims of
whatsoever nature on their part under the Indenture or with respect to such bonds
(or portions thereof) and interest. In the event the Company desires to provide for
the payment of bonds of 2008 Series DT, in lieu of defeasing such bonds in
accordance with the Indenture, the Company shall either redeem an equal principal
amount of Strategic Fund Bonds or take such action as shall be required by the
Strategic Fund Indenture to defease an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund
Bonds.In case an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the principal
of all the bonds issued thereunder may become or be declared due

and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.Any amount payable by the Company in respect of principal of bonds of 2008 Series
DT, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, in a
circumstance where there has not been a corresponding payment of principal of
Strategic Fund Bonds shall be applied simultaneously to the redemption or defeasance
of an equal principal amount of Strategic Fund Bonds in accordance with the
Strategic Fund Indenture.Upon payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes,
whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise or upon
provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Article V of
the Note Indenture, bonds of 2008 Series DT in a principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such Notes, and having both a corresponding maturity date and
interest rate shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium or
interest, be deemed fully paid and the obligation of the Company thereunder to make
such payment shall forthwith cease and be discharged, and, in the case of the
payment of principal and premium, if any, such bonds of said series shall be
surrendered for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee.This bond is not assignable or transferable except as set forth under Section 405 of
the Note Indenture or in the supplemental indenture relating to the Notes, or,
subject to compliance with applicable law, as may be involved in the course of the
exercise of rights and remedies consequent upon an Event of Default under the Note
Indenture. Any such transfer shall be made by the registered holder hereof, in
person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, on the books of the Company
kept at its office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New
York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, and thereupon, a new registered
bond of the same series of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, and this bond with
others in like form may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new bonds of the
same series of other authorized denominations, but of the same aggregate principal
amount, all as provided and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture, and upon payment, in any event, of the charges prescribed in the
Indenture.From and after the Release Date (as defined in the Note Indenture), the bonds of
2008 Series DT shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged and the
obligation of the Company thereunder shall be terminated. On the Release Date, the
bonds of 2008 Series DT shall be surrendered to and cancelled by the Trustee. The
Company covenants and agrees that, prior to the Release Date, it will not take any
action that would cause the outstanding principal amount of the bonds of 2008 Series
DT to be less than the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes.No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this
bond, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the
Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or
against any past, present or future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of
