Exhibit 4-R(4)




Second Supplemental Indenture




          THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Second Supplemental Indenture”) is made as of
December 6, 2004, between Dana Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and Citibank,
N.A., as trustee. Any term used but not defined herein shall have the corresponding meaning given
to it in the Indenture (as defined below).




Recitals of the Company




          The Company and the Trustee have heretofore executed and delivered an Indenture dated as of
August 8, 2001 as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 1, 2004 (the
“2001 Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company has heretofore issued its 9% Notes due 2011, in
the aggregate principal amount of € 200,000,000 (the “Euro Notes”) and its 9% Notes due 2011, in
the aggregate principal amount of $575,000,000 (the “Dollar Notes” and collectively the “Notes”).
The Company desires to amend or eliminate certain provisions of the 2001 Indenture as they relate
to the Euro Notes as hereinafter set forth.




          Pursuant to its Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation, dated November 15, 2004 (the
“Offer to Purchase”), as supplemented and amended, the Company commenced a tender offer (as amended
from time to time, the “Tender Offer”) for Notes and a solicitation of consents (as amended from
time to time, the “Solicitation”) from the holders of the Notes to certain amendments to the 2001
Indenture (the “Proposed Amendments”).




          Section 9.2 of the 2001 Indenture provides, with certain exceptions, that the Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement the 2001 Indenture with the consent of the holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding.




          Section 2.2 of the 2001 Indenture treats each of the Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes as a
single series for purposes of amendments to the 2001 Indenture.




          The Company has determined that, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of Euro Notes outstanding, the amendments set forth in Article I hereof
are authorized or permitted by Section 9.2 of the 2001 Indenture. In furtherance thereof, the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to
Sections 9.2 and 9.4 of the 2001 Indenture.




          Pursuant to the Tender Offer and Solicitation, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Euro Notes then outstanding have duly consented to the Proposed Amendments,
as such Proposed Amendments are described in the Offer to Purchase.




          All acts and things necessary to amend the 2001 Indenture and to make this Second Supplemental
Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Trustee, in accordance with its terms, have been
done.




          NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby covenants and agrees with the Trustee as follows:
