“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the state of New York or the
state of Michigan are required or authorized by law or executive order to be closed. The interest installment so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date with respect to this Note will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the
person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the relevant record date for such interest installment, which
shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record
Date”). Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
Holders on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given
to the registered Holders of the Notes not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of, and premium, if any, and the
interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company
by check mailed to the registered Holder at the close of business on the Regular Record Date at such address as shall appear in the
Security Register. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, if this Note is a Global Note and is held in book-entry form through
the facilities of the Depositary, payments on this Note will be made to the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with arrangements
then in effect between the Trustee and the Depositary.

Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the registered Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to
be, authenticated and delivered.
