“Common Stock”), at the liquidation preference divided by $0.80;



     WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement, but which are not defined herein, shall

     WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company entered
into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement dated as of January 30, 2009 with the Purchaser (the
“Closing Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
therein, the Company agreed to issue and sell, and, the Purchaser agreed to purchase: (i) 50,000
shares of the Company’s preferred stock with terms substantially identical to the Series B
Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, with each share convertible into Common
Stock, at the liquidation preference divided by $0.80 (the “Conversion Shares”), and (ii)
$50 million of trust preferred securities with a 10% coupon, both as described in the Closing

     IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the Company and the
Purchaser agree as follows:



     SECTION 1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase the Shares. At the Closing (as defined in
Section 3), the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue and sell

     2.1 The completion of the purchase and sale of the Additional Shares (the “Closing”)
shall occur on February 17, 2008 at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP located at 125 Broad
Street, New York, New York 10004 or such other date or location as agreed by the parties, but not

the appropriate party (the “Closing Date”).



 









 





     2.2 At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver, in immediately available funds, the full
amount of the Purchase Price for the Additional Shares being purchased hereunder to an
account designated by the Company and the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the
Additional Shares evidenced by one or more share certificates incorporating the terms set forth in
the certificate of designations of the Series B Preferred Stock bearing an appropriate legend
referring to the fact that the Series B Preferred Stock were sold in reliance upon the exemption
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 thereunder as more further described in Section 3.5.



     SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser. The Purchaser
represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that:



     3.1 Experience. (i) The Purchaser is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in
financial and business matters, in making, and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to
investments in shares representing an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the
Additional Shares, including investments in securities issued by the Company and comparable
entities, has the ability to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Additional Shares and
has reviewed carefully the information provided by the Company to the Purchaser in connection with
this Agreement and the purchase of the Additional Shares hereunder, and has requested, received,
reviewed and considered all information it deems relevant in making an informed decision to
purchase the Additional Shares; (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring Additional Shares in the ordinary
course of its business and for its own account for investment only and with no present intention of
distributing any of the Additional Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other
persons regarding the distribution of such Additional Shares (this representation and warranty not
limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell pursuant to a registration statement or in compliance with
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Rules and
Regulations”)); (iii) the Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge,
transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or
take a pledge of) any of the Additional Shares, nor will the Purchaser engage in any short sale
that results in a disposition of any of the Additional Shares by the Purchaser, except in
compliance with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and any applicable state
securities laws; (iv) the Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.



     3.2 Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Additional Shares are
being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations and state securities laws and that
the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set
forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the
Purchaser to acquire the Additional Shares.



     3.3 Investment Decision. The Purchaser understands that nothing in the Agreement or
any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the
Additional Shares, constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Purchaser has consulted such
legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or
appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Additional Shares.



2









 





     3.4 Risk of Loss. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Additional
Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of the Purchaser’s
investment, and the Purchaser has full cognizance of and understands all of the risk factors
related to the Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities. The Purchaser understands that the market
price of the Common Stock into which the Additional Shares is convertible has been volatile, and
that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Additional Shares.



     3.5 Legend. The Purchaser understands that, until such time as a registration
statement has been declared effective or the Additional Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular
date that can then be immediately sold, the Additional Shares will bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form:




“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT
RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR
PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.




THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND OTHER
RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 17, 2008,
COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER.”



     3.6 Transfer Restrictions. Consistent with the legend set forth in Section 3.5, the
Additional Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws and
the transfer and other restrictions set forth in the Investment Agreement as if they were
“Securities” thereunder.



     SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company
represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Purchaser that:



     4.1 Organization and Standing. The Company has been duly incorporated and is an
existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan.

applicable to the offering of the Shares and such consents, approvals, authorizations or other
orders as have been obtained and are in full force and effect.



     4.5 No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of this
Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by the
Company with any of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the conversion provisions
