            A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Receivables Loan
Agreement dated as of December 31, 2004 among the Borrower, the "Conduit
Lenders", "Committed Lenders" and "Funding Agents" from time to time parties

            B. The parties hereto have agreed to amend the Receivables Loan
Agreement on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above,
and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

            SECTION 1. Amendments. Effective as of the Effective Date, the
Receivables Loan Agreement is amended as follows:

            1.1 The definition of "Tranche Period" in Section 1.01 of the
Receivables Loan Agreement is amended to delete the clauses (i) and (ii) thereof
prior to the proviso in such definition and to substitute therefore the
following:

            "(i) initially, the period commencing on (and including) the
      applicable Borrowing Date and ending on (but excluding) the Business Day
      specified by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, and (ii)
      thereafter, each successive period commencing on (and including) the last
      day of the immediately preceding Tranche Period for such Tranche and
      ending on (but excluding) the Business Day specified by the Borrower in a
      written notice to each Funding Agent not later than (x) in the case of a
      Eurodollar

<PAGE>

      Tranche, 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day
      immediately before the first day of such Tranche Period and (y) in the
      case of any other Tranche, 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business
      Day immediately before the first day of such Tranche Period;" .

            1.2 The definition of "Tranche Period" in Section 1.01 of the
Receivables Loan Agreement is further amended (a) to delete the word "and"
appearing at the end of clause (iii) in the proviso of such definition, (b) to
replace the period appearing at the end of clause (iv) in the proviso of such
definition with a semi-colon and (c) to add the following new clauses (v) and
(vi) to the proviso of such definition:

            "(v) no Tranche Period for a Tranche the Interest for which is
      computed by reference to the CP Rate shall be a period longer than 60
      days; and

            (vi) if Interest for any Tranche Period is to be calculated on the
      basis of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, such Tranche Period shall be a
      period of one, two or three months, and such Tranche Period shall end on
      the day in the applicable succeeding calendar month which corresponds
      numerically to the beginning day of such Tranche Period, provided,
      however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such
      succeeding month, such Tranche Period shall end on the last Business Day
      of such succeeding month."

            1.3 Section 2.04(a) of the Receivables Loan Agreement is amended to
add the following language immediately after the first appearance of the word
"Tranche":

            "the Interest for which is computed by reference to the Alternate
      Rate and, in the case of a Tranche for which Interest is computed by
      reference to the CP Rate, on each Monthly Settlement Date"

            1.4 Section 2.04(d) of the Receivables Loan Agreement is amended to
add the following language immediately after the term "Tranche Period" in the
first place where such term appears:

            "(or the Business Day immediately before each Monthly Settlement
      Date, if the Interest for the related Tranche is computed by reference to
      the CP Rate)"

            1.5 Section 2.06(c) of the Receivables Loan Agreement is amended to
add the following language immediately after the first appearance of the word
"Tranche":

            "the Interest for which is computed by reference to the Alternate
      Rate and, in the case of a Tranche for which Interest is computed by
      reference to the CP Rate, on each Monthly Settlement Date"

            SECTION 2. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become
effective as of the date (the "Effective Date") on which the Administrative
Agent shall have received a copy of this Amendment duly executed by the
Borrower, the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent and each of the
Lenders.

Receivables Loan Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof," "herein,"
"hereby" or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the

executed in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision
contained therein.

            3.4 The Borrower represents that this Amendment has been duly

company powers and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation.

            SECTION 5. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed

counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by
facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Amendment.

            SECTION 6. Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included
herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Amendment for any other purpose.

                            CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY

               FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, SERIES 2005 DUE APRIL 1, 2035

            The interest payable on any interest payment date will, subject to
certain exceptions provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned, be paid to
the person in whose name this bond is registered at the close of business on the
record date, which shall be the first day of the month

                                       5
<PAGE>
in which such interest payment is due (whether or not a business day). The
principal of and the premium, if any, and the interest on this bond shall be
payable at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Jackson, Michigan
designated for that purpose, 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.

            Upon payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, the MSF Bonds, 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 VIII of the MSF Trust Indenture, the principal of, and
premium, if any, on the Series 2005 Bonds and the interest thereon then due
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 Series 2005 Bonds shall be surrendered
for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee. Upon
cancellation of any MSF Bond purchased by the Company pursuant to Article III of
the MSF Trust Indenture, in accordance with Section 3.06(a) thereof, the
principal of the Series 2005 Bonds shall, to the extent of the principal amount
of the MSF Bonds so cancelled, be deemed fully paid and the obligation of the
Company under the Series 2005 Bonds to make payment of such principal shall
forthwith cease and be discharged and Series 2005 Bonds in a principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the MSF Bonds so cancelled shall be surrendered
for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee. 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 premium, if
any, and interest on the Series 2005 Bonds, so far as such payments at the time
have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the
foregoing sentence unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written
notice from the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee signed by one of its officers
stating (i) that timely payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, the
MSF Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the
payments required to be made by it to the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee pursuant
to the Loan Agreement after giving effect to any available moneys in the Bond
Fund provided by the MSF Trust Indenture, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.

            This bond is one of the bonds issued and to be issued from time to
time under and in accordance with and all secured by an Indenture dated as of
September 1, 1945, given by the Company (or its predecessor of the same name, a
Maine corporation) to City Bank Farmers Trust Company (JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., successor) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Trustee"), and
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.

                                       6
<PAGE>
            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 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.

            This bond is not redeemable by the operation of the improvement fund
or the maintenance and replacement provisions of the Indenture or by the use of
proceeds of released property.

            This bond is redeemable 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 MSF Bonds, including provision for
redemption upon demand of the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee following the
occurrence of an Event of Default under the MSF Trust Indenture and the
acceleration of the MSF Bonds.

            This bond shall not be assignable or transferable except as may be
required to effect a transfer to any successor trustee under the MSF Trust
Indenture, 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 MSF Trust Indenture. Any such transfer shall be effected at
the Investor Services Department of the Company, as transfer agent (hereinafter
referred to as "corporate trust office"). 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 said corporate
trust office of the 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.

            No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, 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.

right, title and interest and claim whatsoever, at law as well as in equity,
which the Company now has or may hereafter acquire in and to the aforesaid
premises, property, franchises and rights and every part and parcel thereof.

            SUBJECT, HOWEVER, with respect to such premises, property,
franchises and rights, to excepted encumbrances as said term is defined in
Section 1.02 of the Indenture, and

subject also to all defects and limitations of title and to all encumbrances
existing at the time of acquisition.

            TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all 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 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 one series of bonds designated as
hereinabove provided, which shall also bear the descriptive title "First
Mortgage Bond", and the form thereof shall be substantially as hereinbefore set
forth. Series 2005 Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of
$35,000,000, shall mature on April 1, 2035 and shall be issued only as
registered bonds without coupons in denominations of $5,000 and any multiple
thereof. The serial numbers of the Series 2005 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. Series 2005 Bonds shall bear interest at the rates per annum
effective from time to time with respect to the MSF Bonds, until the principal
thereof shall have become due and payable, specified in the title thereof,
payable on each interest payment date for the MSF Bonds in each year. The
principal of and the premium, if any, and the interest on said bonds shall be
payable 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, at the office or
agency of the Company in the City of Jackson, Michigan designated for that
purpose.

                                       9
<PAGE>
            Upon payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest
on the MSF Bonds, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or
otherwise, or upon provision for payment thereof having been made in accordance
with Article VIII of the MSF Trust Indenture, the principal of, and premium, if
any, on the Series 2005 Bonds and the interest thereon then due 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 such payment of principal
and premium, if any, such Series 2005 Bonds shall be surrendered for
cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee. Upon
cancellation of any MSF Bond purchased by the Company pursuant to Article III of
the MSF Trust Indenture, in accordance with Section 3.06(a) thereof, the
principal of the Series 2005 Bonds shall, to the extent of the principal amount
of the MSF Bonds so cancelled, be deemed fully paid and the obligation of the
Company under the Series 2005 Bonds to make payment of such principal shall
forthwith cease and be discharged and Series 2005 Bonds in a principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the MSF Bonds so cancelled shall be surrendered
for cancellation or presented for appropriate notation to the Trustee. 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 premium, if
any, and interest on the Series 2005 Bonds, so far as such payments at the time
have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the
foregoing sentence unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written
notice from the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee signed by one of its officers
stating (i) that timely payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, the
MSF Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the
payments required to be made by it to the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee pursuant
to the Loan Agreement after giving effect to any available moneys in the Bond
Fund provided by the MSF Trust Indenture, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.

            Each Series 2005 Bond is to be irrevocably assigned to, and
registered in the name of the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee, to secure payment of
the MSF Bonds, the proceeds of which have been provided for financing the cost
of certain solid waste disposal facilities pursuant to the provisions of the
Loan Agreement.

            Series 2005 Bonds shall not be assignable or transferable except as
may be required to effect a transfer to any successor trustee under the MSF
Trust Indenture, 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 MSF Trust Indenture. Any such transfer shall be
transferred at the Investor Services Department of the Company, as transfer
agent (hereinafter and in the Series 2005 Bonds referred to as "corporate trust
office"). Series 2005 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 said corporate trust office of
the 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.

                                       10
<PAGE>
            SECTION 2. Series 2005 Bonds 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 MSF Bonds.

            In the event the Company elects or is required to redeem any MSF
Bonds prior to maturity in accordance with the provisions of the MSF Trust
Indenture, the Company may on the same date redeem the Series 2005 Bonds in
principal amounts and at prices corresponding to the MSF Bonds so redeemed. In
the event of an optional redemption of any MSF Bonds, the Company agrees to give
the Trustee notice of any such redemption of the Series 2005 Bonds on the same
date as it gives notice of the optional redemption of the MSF Bonds to the MSF
Trust Indenture Trustee.

            Series 2005 Bonds are not redeemable by the operation of the
improvement fund or the maintenance and replacement provisions of the Indenture
or by the use of proceeds of released property.

            SECTION 3. In the event of an Event of Default under the MSF Trust
Indenture and the acceleration of all MSF Bonds, the Series 2005 Bonds shall be
redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand (hereinafter
called a "Redemption Demand") from the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee stating that
there has occurred under the MSF Trust Indenture both an Event of Default and a
declaration of acceleration of payment of principal, accrued interest and
premium, if any, on the MSF Bonds, specifying the last date to which interest on
the MSF Bonds has been paid (such date being hereinafter referred to as the
"Initial Interest Accrual Date") and demanding redemption of the Series 2005
Bonds. The Trustee shall, within five 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
Series 2005 Bonds 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 days prior to such Demand
Redemption Date. The date to be fixed by the Company as and for the Demand
Redemption Date may be any date up to and including the earlier of (x) the 60th
day after receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand or (y) the maturity
date of the Series 2005 Bonds; 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 MSF Trust Indenture Trustee not more than ten nor
less than five days prior to the Demand Redemption Date.

            Each of the Series 2005 Bonds shall be redeemed by the Company on
the Demand Redemption Date therefor upon surrender thereof by the MSF Trust
Indenture Trustee to the Trustee at a redemption price equal to the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon at the rate then in effect with
respect to 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 MSF Bonds; provided, however, that
in the event of a receipt by the Trustee of a notice that, pursuant to Section
9.02 of the MSF Trust

                                       11
<PAGE>
Indenture, the MSF Trust Indenture Trustee has terminated proceedings to enforce
any right under the MSF Trust Indenture, then any Redemption Demand shall
thereby be rescinded by the MSF Trust 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.

            SECTION 4. The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote
or other action by the holder of the Series 2005 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 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

                                       12
<PAGE>
      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 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 MSF Trust Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the
holder or holders of the MSF Bonds, any right or interest

                                       13
<PAGE>
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, eighth and ninth 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 Series 2005 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.

            SECTION 11. Detailed Description of Property Mortgaged:
