or (b) has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of the period that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio involves a discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period; (2) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will have made any Asset Disposition or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Asset Disposition: (a) the Consolidated EBITDA for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such period; and (b) Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of The Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Asset Disposition for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale); (3) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) will have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged with or into the Company) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit, division or line of business, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the incurrence of any -7- Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition occurred on the first day of such period; and (4) if since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) will have made any Asset Disposition or any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition or Investment or acquisition of assets occurred on the first day of such period. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company (including pro forma expense and cost reductions calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act). If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Protection Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Protection Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). "Consolidated EBITDA" for any period means, without duplication, the Consolidated Net Income for such period, plus the following to the extent deducted in calculating such Consolidated Net Income: (1) Consolidated Interest Expense; (2) Consolidated Income Taxes; (3) consolidated depreciation expense; (4) consolidated amortization of intangibles; and (5) other non-cash charges reducing Consolidated Net Income (excluding any such non-cash charge to the extent it represents an accrual of or reserve for cash charges in any future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense that was paid in a prior period not included in the calculation).

(d) Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. (i) The Global Securities initially shall (A) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (B) be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, (C) bear the Global Security legends set forth in Section 2.1(c). The Depositary shall be DTC unless the Company appoints a successor Depositary by delivery of a Company Order to the Trustee specifying such successor Depositary. (ii) The Depositary or its nominee shall be the Holder of the Global Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in the Securities represented by the Global Securities shall hold such interest pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Any such owner's beneficial ownership of any such Securities will be shown only on, and the transfer of such ownership interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee. (iii) All payments on a Global Security will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and Holder of such Global Security. The Company will be fully discharged by payment to or to the order of such Depositary from any responsibility or liability in respect of each amount so paid. (iv) Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for a Global Security in certificated form, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary or nominee thereof to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of Depositary or a nominee of such successor. (v) Owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities shall be entitled or required, as the case may be, but only under the circumstances described in Section 2.1(d)(vii), to receive physical delivery of physical Securities. (vi) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof pursuant to subsection (vii) of this Section shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any -37- Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and delivery the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.1(d)(vii), the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Securities in definitive form. (vii) Definitive Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security, (A) if DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as a clearing agency for the Global Security or ceases to be a "Clearing Agency" registered under the Exchange Act or (B) if the Depositary or the owner of a Book-Entry Interest so requests such exchange in writing delivered through the applicable Depositary following an Event of Default. In connection with a transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this subsection (vii), the applicable Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the applicable Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the applicable Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Securities, as the case may be, of authorized denominations. Definitive Securities shall also be issued in exchange for interests in Global Securities in connection with resales of Initial Securities or Additional Securities to IAIs. Upon any issuance of Definitive Securities in respect of less than the entire principal amount of a Global Security, the Depositary shall decrease the aggregate principal amount of such Global Security by making appropriate notations in its records and on such Global Security so as to reflect a decrease equal to the principal amount of Definitive Securities issued in relation to the interests formerly represented by such Global Security. (viii) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in the other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest. (ix) Any Definitive Securities delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to subsection (vii) above shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6 hereof, bear the Restricted Securities Legend, unless such exchange is made on or after (A) an Initial Security or an Additional Security is sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, pursuant to the Registration -38- Rights Agreement, (B) an Initial Security or an Additional Security is exchanged for an Exchange Security in the Exchange Offer under an effective registration statement, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, or (C) the Resale Restriction Termination Date.

Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless, after giving effect to any exchange of Initial Securities for Exchange Securities. A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee authenticates the Security manually or by facsimile. The signature of the Trustee on a Security shall be conclusive evidence that such Security has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) the Initial Securities for issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000, (2) the Additional Securities in an aggregate principal amount to be determined by the Company, and (3) Exchange Securities for issue only in an Exchange Offer or registered resale, in each case pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and only in exchange for the applicable Initial Securities or the Additional Securities, as the case may be, of the same series of an equal principal amount, in each case upon a Company Order. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Securities are to be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be Initial Securities, Additional Securities or Exchange Securities. With respect to any Additional Securities, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of its Board of Directors and an Officer's Certificate, the following information: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and (ii) the issue price and the issue date of the Additional Securities. All Securities issued under the Indenture (whether Initial Securities, Additional Securities or Exchange Securities) will be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. In case the Company, pursuant to Article IV hereof, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, and the successor Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or any such merger, or to which such transfer or lease shall have been made, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article IV hereof, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease may, -39- from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.2 hereof in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name. SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the "Registrar") and offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying Agents").

The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.9. The Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent. The Company initially appoints the Trustee in New York as the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Securities. SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agents a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest when due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent.

Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Securities representing an equal principal amount of Securities of the same class. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a holder of Definitive Securities. SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agents shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and return to the Company all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange. SECTION 2.12. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, each installment of interest may be paid by check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Security Register and; provided, further, that all payments with respect to the Securities, the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Company and the Paying Agent prior to the applicable record date for such payment, will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Payments in respect of Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof. Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for when the same becomes due and payable, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such a Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Securities (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called "Defaulted Interest") shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) as to which the Defaulted Interest relates are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as -48- defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause (a) provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest that shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 hereof, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). (b) The Company may make payment of such Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities as to which the Defaulted Interest relates are registered at the close of business on a specified date in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. (c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. SECTION 2.13. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. SECTION 2.14. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities shall use "CUSIP" or "ISIN" numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" or "ISIN" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" or "ISIN" numbers for the Securities. -49- ARTICLE III COVENANTS SECTION 3.1. Application of Certain Covenants. After such time as: (1) the Securities have been assigned an Investment Grade rating by both Rating Agencies; (2) if the Investment Grade rating is BBB-, in the case of S&P, or Baa3, in the case of Moody's, it shall not be accompanied by either (i) in the case of S&P, a negative outlook, creditwatch negative or the equivalent thereof or (ii) in the case of Moody's, a negative outlook, a review for possible downgrade or the equivalent thereof; and (3) no Default under this Indenture has occurred and is continuing, (all such events collectively constituting an "Investment Grade Rating Event") and notwithstanding that the Securities may later cease to have an Investment Grade rating by either or both Rating Agencies or that the Investment Grade rating may later be accompanied by either or both items (i) or (ii) set forth in paragraph (2) above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, paragraph (a) of Section 3.9, paragraph (a) of Section 3.13 and clause (c) of Section 4.1 hereof, and paragraph (b) of Section 3.9 and paragraph (b) of Section 3.13 hereof shall become effective and apply to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Notice of the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee for delivery to the holders of the Securities. A change in the rating on the Securities by either Rating Agency shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that such Rating Agency shall have publicly announced the change. SECTION 3.2. Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest. The Company will pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agents hold in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and interest then due and the Trustee or such Paying Agents, as the case may be, are not prohibited from paying such money to the Securityholders on that date. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. SECTION 3.3. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for the Securities an office or agency where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where the Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be such an -50- office or agency of the Company as shall be the offices specified in Section 2.3 hereof. In addition, the Company may designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such offices or agencies. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for the Securities for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency. SECTION 3.4. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust; Unclaimed Money. If the Company should at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto sums sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act. The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; (b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities; and (c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge or defeasance of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any -51- Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of any principal, premium or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust, unless otherwise required by certain provisions of applicable law; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agents with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agents, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, or cause to be mailed to such Holder, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. SECTION 3.5. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article IV hereof, the Company will at all times do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any rights if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and that the loss thereof is not materially disadvantageous to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. SECTION 3.6. Reports by the Company. So long as any Security is outstanding, the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC, file with the Trustee and mail or cause to be mailed to the Holders at their addresses as set forth in the Security Register, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or which the Company would be required to file with the Commission if the Company then had a series of securities registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, the Company shall cause its annual report to stockholders and any quarterly or other financial reports furnished to its stockholders generally to be filed with the Trustee and mailed, no later than the date such materials are mailed or made available to the Company's stockholders, to the Holders at their addresses as set forth in the Security Register. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including information concerning the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder, provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of any of its responsibilities hereunder. -52- SECTION 3.7. Annual Certificate. The Company covenants and agrees to deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officer's Certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture and stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Company he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If he or she does, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with TIA Section 314(a)(4). SECTION 3.8. Books of Record and Account. The Company will keep proper books of record and account, either on a consolidated or individual basis. The Company shall cause its books of record and account to be examined either on a consolidated or individual basis, by one or more firms of independent public accountants not less frequently than annually. The Company shall prepare its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time. SECTION 3.9. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens upon any of their respective properties or assets (including, without limitation, any asset in the form of the right to receive payments, fees or other consideration or benefits) whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, other than: (1) Liens granted by the Company on property or assets of the Company securing Indebtedness of the Company that is permitted by this Indenture and that is pari passu with the Securities; provided, that the Securities are secured on an equal and ratable basis with such Liens; (2) Liens granted by the Company on property or assets of the Company securing Indebtedness of the Company that is permitted by this Indenture and that is subordinated to the Securities; provided, that the Securities are secured by Liens ranking prior to such Liens; (3) Permitted Liens; (4) Liens in respect of Acquired Indebtedness permitted by this Indenture; provided, that the Liens in respect of such Acquired Indebtedness secured such Acquired Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Acquired Indebtedness and such Liens and the Acquired Indebtedness were not incurred by the Company or by the Person being acquired or from whom the assets were acquired in connection with, or in anticipation of, the incurrence of such Acquired Indebtedness by the Company, and provided, further that such Liens in respect of such Acquired Indebtedness do not extend to or cover any property or assets of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company other than the property or assets that secured the Acquired Indebtedness prior to the time such Indebtedness became Acquired Indebtedness of the Company; and -53- (5) Liens arising from claims of holders of Indebtedness against funds held in a defeasance trust for the benefit of such holders. (b) In the event that paragraph (a) of this Section 3.9 no longer applies to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in light of the circumstances set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, except with respect to Indebtedness between the Company and any Restricted Subsidiaries, the Company will not incur or guarantee (or permit Restricted Subsidiaries to incur or guarantee) any Secured Debt other than Permitted Secured Debt without equally and ratably securing the Securities. SECTION 3.10. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness, and the Company will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock, except: (1) Indebtedness of the Company, if immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the net proceeds thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company for the four full fiscal quarters for which quarterly or annual financial statements are available next preceding the incurrence of such Indebtedness would be greater than 2.25 to 1.00; (2) Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date; (3) Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities in an amount not to exceed $1.56 billion; (4) Indebtedness owed by the Company to any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or Indebtedness owed by a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided, that, upon either (a) the transfer or other disposition by such Restricted Subsidiary or the Company of any Indebtedness so permitted under this clause (4) to a Person other than the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (b) the issuance (other than directors' qualifying shares), sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests (including by consolidation or merger) of such Restricted Subsidiary to a Person other than the Company or another such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of which such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, the provisions of this clause (4) shall no longer be applicable to such Indebtedness and such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been incurred at the time of any such issuance, sale, transfer or other disposition, as the case may be; (5) Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Currency Agreement to the extent entered into to hedge any other Indebtedness permitted under this Indenture;

(9) Obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds and completion guarantees provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in the ordinary course of business; (10) Indebtedness consisting of notes issued to employees, officers or directors in connection with the redemption or repurchase of Capital Stock held by such Persons in an aggregate amount not in excess of $10.0 million at any time outstanding; (11) Guarantees by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary permitted to be incurred under another provision of this Section 3.10; provided that any Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary is given in compliance with Section 3.16 hereof; (12) Indebtedness of the Company under the Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities related thereto; (13) Indebtedness incurred to renew, extend or refinance (collectively for purposes of this clause (13) to "refinance") any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (1), (2) or (12) of this Section 3.10; provided, that: (a) such Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted amount, if less) of Indebtedness so refinanced plus the amount of any premium required to be paid in connection with such refinancing pursuant to the terms of the Indebtedness refinanced or the amount of any premium reasonably determined by the Company as necessary to accomplish such refinancing by means of a tender offer, exchange offer, or privately negotiated repurchase, plus the expenses of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary incurred in connection therewith and (b) (I) in the case of any refinancing of Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Securities such refinancing Indebtedness is made pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to the Securities, and, in the case of any refinancing of Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the Securities, such refinancing Indebtedness is subordinate in right of payment to the -55- Securities on terms no less favorable to the Holders than those contained in the Indebtedness being refinanced, (II) in either case, the refinancing Indebtedness by its terms, or by the terms of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Indebtedness is issued does not have an Average Life that is less than the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness being refinanced and does not permit redemption or other retirement (including pursuant to any required offer to purchase to be made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) of such Indebtedness at the option of the holder thereof prior to the final Stated Maturity of the Indebtedness being refinanced, other than a redemption or other retirement at the option of the holder of such Indebtedness (including pursuant to a required offer to purchase made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) which is conditioned upon a change of control of the Company pursuant to provisions substantially similar to those contained in Section 3.17 hereof and (III) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary may not be incurred to refinance any Indebtedness of the Company unless otherwise permitted pursuant to clause (16) below; and provided, further, that any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) above may be refinanced pursuant to this clause (13) provided that such refinancing occurs not later than three months after the repayment of the Indebtedness being refinanced, notwithstanding an initial repayment of the Indebtedness being refinanced using the Company's available cash resources. (14) Indebtedness consisting of take-or-pay obligations contained in supply agreements entered into by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (15) Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries issued to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided, that, upon either (a) the transfer or other disposition by such Restricted Subsidiary or the Company of any Preferred Stock so permitted under this clause (15) to a Person other than the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or (b) the issuance (other than directors' qualifying shares), sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests (including by consolidation or merger) of such Restricted Subsidiary to a Person other than the Company or another such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of which such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, the provisions of this clause (15) shall no longer be applicable to such Preferred Stock and such Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time of any such issuance, sale, transfer or other disposition, as the case may be; -56- (16) Indebtedness incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries to Persons other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries issued to Persons other than the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness plus (ii) the stated liquidation preference of such Preferred Stock shall not exceed in the aggregate $250.0 million; (17) the consummation of any Qualified Securitization Transaction; and (18) Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, not otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to clauses (1) through (17) of this Section 3.10, which, together with any other outstanding Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (18), has an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $100.0 million at any time outstanding. Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. SECTION 3.11. Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to directly or indirectly: (A) declare or pay any dividend, or make any distribution of any kind or character (whether in cash, property or securities), in respect of any class of its Capital -57- Stock or to the holders thereof in their capacity as stockholders, excluding any (a) dividend or distributions payable solely in shares of its Qualified Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to acquire its Qualified Capital Stock or (b) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; (B) purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire or retire for value shares of Capital Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, any securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Capital Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or any options, warrants or rights to purchase or acquire shares of Capital Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, excluding any such shares of Capital Stock, options, warrants, rights or securities which are owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; (C) make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Person; or (D) redeem, defease, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled maturity, repayment or sinking fund payment, Indebtedness which is subordinate in right of payment to the Securities (each of the transactions described in clauses (A) through (D) (other than any exception to any such clause) being a "Restricted Payment"), if at the time thereof: (1) an Event of Default, or an event that with the passing of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, or (2) upon giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company could not incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to clause (1) of Section 3.10 hereof, or (3) upon giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the aggregate of all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date exceeds the sum (without duplication) of: (a) 50% of Consolidated Net Income of the Company (or, in the case cumulative Consolidated Net Income of the Company shall be negative, less 100% of such deficit) for the period (treated as an accounting period) from the Issue Date through the last day of the Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available; plus (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received after the Issue Date, including the fair market value of readily marketable securities from the issuance of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company and warrants, rights or options on Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (other than in respect of any such issuance to a Subsidiary of the Company) and the principal amount of -58- Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company that has been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Capital Stock of the Company which Indebtedness was incurred after the Issue Date; plus (c) in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date, an amount equal to the lesser of the return of capital with respect to such Investment and the cost of such Investment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition of such Investment; plus (d) an amount equal to the sum of (I) the net reduction in Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries resulting from the receipt of dividends, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets or proceeds from the disposition of Capital Stock or other distributions or payments, in each case to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from, or with respect to, interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries, and (II) the portion (proportionate to the Company's equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date; plus (e) solely in connection with the payment of ordinary quarterly dividends on the Company's common stock, an aggregate of $270.0 million. For purposes of determining the amount expended for Restricted Payments under this clause (3), property other than cash shall be valued at its fair market value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph will not prohibit: (1) any dividend on any class of Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries paid within 70 days after the declaration thereof if, on the date when the dividend was declared, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, could have paid such dividend in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; (2) the renewal, extension or refinancing of any Indebtedness otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of clause (13) of Section 3.10 hereof; (3) the exchange or conversion of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for or into Qualified Capital Stock of the Company; (4) any Restricted Payments, including loans or other advances made pursuant to any employee benefit plans (including plans for the benefit of directors) or employment agreements or other compensation arrangements or plans, in each case as -59- such agreement, arrangement or plan is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in its good faith judgment; (5) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Investment made with the proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company; provided, that the proceeds of such sale of Qualified Capital Stock shall not be (and have not been) included in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph; (6) the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Capital Stock of the Company in exchange for or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company; provided, that the proceeds of such sale of Capital Stock shall not be (and have not been) included in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph; (7) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company in exchange for or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company; provided, that the proceeds of such sale of Qualified Capital Stock shall not be (and have not been) included in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph; (8) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any purchase or redemption or other retirement for value of Capital Stock of the Company required pursuant to any shareholders agreement, management agreement or employee stock option or restricted stock agreement in accordance with the provisions of any such arrangement in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate; (9) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price thereof; (10) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the redemption of any stock purchase rights under a rights plan in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million; (11) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Investments in Permitted Joint Ventures; provided, that after giving pro forma effect to such Investment, the Company could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to clause (1) of Section 3.10; (12) Investments by the Company in Dana Credit Corporation made in the ordinary course of business for periods not exceeding 30 days at any time and in amounts not exceeding $20.0 million at any time outstanding; and (13) Restricted Payments by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, not otherwise permitted to be made pursuant to clauses (1) through (12) above, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million. -60- Each Restricted Payment described in clauses (1), (4) and (8) of the previous sentence shall be taken into account (and the Restricted Payments described in the remaining clauses shall not be taken into account) for purposes of computing the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (3) of the preceding paragraph. SECTION 3.12. Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make one or more Asset Dispositions unless: (1) the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration for such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company); (2) not less than 75% of the consideration for the disposition consists of cash or readily marketable Cash Equivalents or the assumption of Indebtedness (other than non-recourse Indebtedness or any Indebtedness subordinated to the Securities) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or other obligations relating to such assets (and release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on the Indebtedness or other obligations assumed); and (3) all Net Available Proceeds, less any amounts invested or committed to be invested within 360 days of such Asset Disposition in Related Business Assets (including capital expenditures or the Capital Stock of another Person (other than the Company); provided, that immediately after giving effect to any such investment such Person shall be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), are applied, on or prior to the 360th day after such Asset Disposition (unless and to the extent that the Company shall determine to make an Offer to Purchase), either to (a) the permanent reduction and prepayment of any Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness which is expressly subordinate to the Securities) then outstanding (including a permanent reduction of commitments in respect thereof) or (b) the permanent reduction and repayment of any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company then outstanding (including a permanent reduction of commitments in respect thereof). The 361st day after such Asset Disposition shall be deemed to be the "Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date," and the amount of Net Available Proceeds from Asset Dispositions otherwise subject to the preceding provisions not so applied or as to which the Company has determined not to so apply shall be referred to as the "Unutilized Net Available Proceeds." Within fifteen days after the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, the Company shall make an Offer to Purchase the outstanding Securities in the aggregate amount of the Unutilized Net Available Proceeds at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Purchase Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may defer making any Offer to Purchase outstanding Securities until there are aggregate Unutilized Net Available Proceeds equal to or in excess of $25.0 million (at which time, the entire Unutilized -61- Net Available Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of $25.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this paragraph). Pending application of the Unutilized Net Available Proceeds pursuant to this covenant, such Unutilized Net Available Proceeds shall be invested in Permitted Investments of the types described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of the definition of "Permitted Investments." If any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries ranking pari passu with the Securities requires that prepayment of, or an offer to prepay, such Indebtedness be made with any Net Available Proceeds, the Company may apply such Net Available Proceeds pro rata (based on the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding and the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if less) of all such other Indebtedness then outstanding) to the making of an Offer to Purchase the Securities in accordance with the foregoing provisions and the prepayment or the offer to prepay such pari passu Indebtedness. Any remaining Net Available Proceeds following the completion of the required Offer to Purchase may be used by the Company for any other purpose (subject to the other provisions of this Indenture) and the amount of Net Available Proceeds then required to be otherwise applied in accordance with this covenant shall be reset to zero, subject to any subsequent Asset Disposition. These provisions will not apply to a transaction consummated in compliance with the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof. (b) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any Asset Swaps, unless: (1) at the time of entering into such Asset Swap and immediately after giving effect to such Asset Swap, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; (2) in the event such Asset Swap involves the transfer by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of assets having an aggregate fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, in excess of $20.0 million, the terms of such Asset Swap have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as being fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view; and (3) in the event such Asset Swap involves the transfer by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of assets having an aggregate fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, in excess of $500.0 million, the Company has received a written opinion from an independent investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing that such Asset Swap is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view. (c) In the event that the Company makes an Offer to Purchase the Securities pursuant to this Section 3.12, the Company shall comply with any applicable securities laws and regulations, including any applicable requirements of Section 14(e) of, and Rule 14e-1 under, the Exchange Act and any violation of the provisions of the indenture relating to such Offer to Purchase occurring as a result of such compliance shall not be deemed an Event of Default or an -62- event that with the passing of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. SECTION 3.13. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless: (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, if the fair market value exceeds $20.0 million) of the property subject to such transaction; (2) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Indebtedness in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof; and (3) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is treated as an Asset Disposition and all of the conditions of Section 3.12 hereof (including the provisions concerning the application of Net Available Proceeds after the Sale and Leaseback Transaction) are satisfied at the time required to be satisfied pursuant to that covenant with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, treating all of the cash consideration (with the items constituting cash consideration to be determined in accordance with Section 3.12 hereof) received in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction as Net Available Proceeds for purposes of such covenant. For the purposes of this paragraph (a), the term "Sale and Leaseback Transaction" means an arrangement relating to property now owned or hereafter acquired whereby the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary transfers such property to a person and the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary leases it from such Person. (b) In the event that paragraph (a) of this covenant no longer applies to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in light of the circumstances set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, the Company will not engage in any Sale and Leaseback Transactions (except leases for a temporary period not exceeding 36 months) involving any Principal Property, or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which has been in operation for more than 180 days to do so, unless (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Secured Debt on such Principal Property equal to the amount realizable upon such sale or transfer as if such amount were secured by a mortgage, without equally and ratably securing the Securities; or (2) an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale or the fair value of such Principal Property is applied within 180 days either to (A) the retirement of indebtedness of the Company that was Funded Debt at the time it was created or (B) the purchase of other Principal Property having a value at least equal to the greater of such amounts; or -63- (3) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction involved an industrial revenue bond, pollution control bond or other similar financing arrangement between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any federal, state or municipal government or other governmental body or agency. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the term "Sale and Leaseback Transaction" means any arrangement with any person or entity providing for the leasing by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Property whereby such Principal Property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to such person or entity; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any such arrangement involving a lease for a term, including renewal rights, of not more than three years. SECTION 3.14. Limitation on Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or suffer to exist or allow to become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: (1) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make other payments or distributions on its Capital Stock or any other equity interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, owned by the Company or by any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or make payments on any Indebtedness owed to the Company or to any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; (2) make loans or advances to the Company or to any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or (3) transfer any of their respective property or assets to the Company or to any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company. (b) The restrictions in paragraph (a) above, however, will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (1) applicable law or regulations; (2) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; (3) any agreement in effect on the Issue Date as any such agreement is in effect on such date; (4) any agreement relating to any Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary prior to the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of the Company and outstanding on such date and not incurred in anticipation or contemplation of becoming a Subsidiary of the Company, provided, such encumbrance or restriction shall not apply to any assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries other than such Restricted Subsidiary; -64- (5) any agreement effecting a refinancing of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (3) or (4) of this paragraph (b) or this clause (5) or contained in any amendment to an agreement referred to in clause (3) or (4) of this paragraph (b) or this clause (5); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or amendment are no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in such agreements referred to in clauses (3) and (4) of this paragraph (b); (6) Indebtedness or any other contractual requirements (including pursuant to any corporate governance documents in the nature of a charter or by-laws) of a Securitization Subsidiary arising in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction, provided, that any such encumbrances and restrictions apply only to such Securitization Subsidiary; or (7) this Indenture. SECTION 3.15. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to: (1) sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its property or assets to any Affiliate of the Company or of any Subsidiary, (2) purchase any property or assets from any Affiliate of the Company or of any Subsidiary, (3) make any Investment in any Affiliate of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or (4) enter into or amend or extend any contract, agreement or understanding with or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company or of any Subsidiary (each of (1) through (4) being an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than Affiliate Transactions that are on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm's length transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company from an unaffiliated party; provided, that if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction or series of Affiliate Transactions involving or having an aggregate value of more than $20.0 million, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof shall, prior to the consummation of such Affiliate Transaction, have determined (as evidenced by a resolution thereof) that such Affiliate Transaction meets the foregoing standard. (b) The restrictions in paragraph (a) above shall not apply to: (1) any transaction between Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, or between the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if such transaction is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Indenture; -65- (2) transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business; (3) reasonable fees and compensation paid to and advances of expenses to and indemnity provided on behalf of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors or senior management; (4) any Qualified Securitization Transactions; (5) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date (including, without limitation, the Operating Agreement, the agreements relating to the Receivables Facility and the Tax Sharing Agreement between the Company and Dana Credit Corporation) or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) or in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; (6) Restricted Payments permitted by this Indenture; (7) loans or advances to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business; (8) joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, pursuant to joint venture agreements) and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the senior management of the Company, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; and (9) any employment or compensation arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business that is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. SECTION 3.16. Limitation on Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Company will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company unless such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for the guarantee of payment of the Securities (each a "Subsidiary Guarantee") by such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (a "Subsidiary Guarantor"); provided, any guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor of such other Indebtedness: (1) (a) (I) is unsecured or (II) is secured and (A) in the case of any such guarantee of Indebtedness of the Company ranking pari passu with the Securities, the relevant Subsidiary Guarantees are secured equally and ratably with any Liens securing such guarantee and (B) in the case of any such guarantee of Indebtedness of the Company subordinated to the Securities, the relevant Subsidiary Guarantees are secured on a basis ranking prior to the Liens securing such guarantee and -66- (b) (I) in the case of any such guarantee of Indebtedness of the Company subordinated or junior to the Securities (whether pursuant to its terms or by operation of law), such guarantee is subordinated pursuant to a written agreement to the relevant Subsidiary Guarantees at least to the same extent and in the same manner as such other Indebtedness is subordinated to the Securities, or (II) the Subsidiary Guarantees are not subordinated or junior to any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and (2) such Subsidiary Guarantor waives, and agrees it will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company as a result of any payment by it under such Subsidiary Guarantees. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 3.16, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon either (i) the unconditional release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor's guarantees of all other Indebtedness of the Company (other than a release resulting from payment under such Subsidiary Guarantor's guarantees) or (ii) any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company, of all (but not less than all) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to a transaction which is in compliance with all of the terms of this Indenture. (c) The provisions of paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section 3.16 shall not apply with respect to (1) guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding on the Issue Date; (2) guarantees of Acquired Indebtedness outstanding at the time that a Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary of the Company; and (3) guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness to the extent such Indebtedness could have been incurred by such Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to clause (16) of Section 3.10 hereof (without duplication in the case of the same Indebtedness being guaranteed by one or more Restricted Subsidiaries). SECTION 3.17. Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder's Securities pursuant to the Change of Control offer on the terms set forth in this Indenture (a "Change of Control Offer") at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder stating: (1) the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control; -67- (2) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.17 and that all Securities tendered shall be accepted for payment; (3) the purchase price and the purchase date, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date"); (4) that any Security not tendered or properly withdrawn shall continue to accrue interest; (5) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Securities accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders electing to have any Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Securities, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Securities completed, to a Paying Agent at the addresses specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the applicable Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Securities delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Securities purchased; and (8) that Holders whose Securities are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (2) deposit with the Paying Agents, an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together with an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions of Securities being purchased by the Company. (c) The Paying Agents shall promptly mail to each Holder of Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, -68- and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. (d) The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. (e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not properly under such Change of Control Offer. (f) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.17 by virtue of such conflict. SECTION 3.18. Payments for Consents. Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fees or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment. SECTION 3.19. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee or as otherwise necessary, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. ARTICLE IV MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE BY THE COMPANY SECTION 4.1. Merger, Consolidation, Etc.. The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or transfer (by lease, assignment, sale, or otherwise) all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person unless: -69- (a) either (1) the Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person in such a consolidation or merger or (2) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company are transferred (the Company or such other Person being referred to as the "Surviving Person") shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture; (b) immediately after the transaction and the incurrence or anticipated incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, no Event of Default will exist; (c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (a) above (including giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction), the Surviving Person could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to clause (1) of Section 3.10 hereof; and (d) an Officer's Certificate has been delivered to the Trustee to the effect that the conditions set forth in the preceding clauses (a), (b) and, to the extent then applicable, (c) have been satisfied and an Opinion of Counsel (from a counsel who shall not be an employee of the Company) has been delivered to the Trustee to the effect that the conditions set forth in the preceding clause (a) and, to the extent then applicable, clause (c), have been satisfied. Upon any consolidation, merger or transfer in accordance with the foregoing, the Surviving Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a party hereto, and thereafter the predecessor corporation will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Securities and this Indenture. ARTICLE V REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES SECTION 5.1. Applicability of Article. The Securities shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and in accordance with this Article. SECTION 5.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In the case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities, the Company shall, not less than 5 days prior to giving the notice of redemption contemplated by Section 5.4 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, Redemption Price, and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. -70- SECTION 5.3. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed will be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee in compliance with any applicable rules of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not listed on a securities exchange or if there are no applicable rules, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems appropriate and fair; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall make the selection from the Securities that have not previously been called for redemption and may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for the Securities, or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of the Securities of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the Company, any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company thereof shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption. For purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. SECTION 5.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the applicable Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (unless the Redemption Date shall be an interest payment date) interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date on, all Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. SECTION 5.6. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than the fifth Business Day after any Officer obtains knowledge of such Default), written notice, in the form of an Officer's Certificate, of any Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. -74- SECTION 6.2. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(g) or (h) above involving the Company) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities may, and the Trustee shall upon the request of Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities then Outstanding to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by Holders) and upon such declaration such principal amount, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest will become immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or the Securities to the contrary. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(g) or (h) above involving the Company occurs, all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities then Outstanding will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of any Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration of the Securities and its consequences if all existing Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities which has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration) have been cured or waived and if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. SECTION 6.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if: (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security, if any, when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holder of such Security, the whole amount then due and payable on such Security for principal, premium, if any, and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal, premium, if any, and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Security and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of such Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to secure any other proper remedy. -75- SECTION 6.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and take such actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders of Securities allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.9 hereof. SECTION 6.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee, in its own name as an express trust, without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect to which judgment was recovered. SECTION 6.6. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default. SECTION 6.7. Waiver of Past Defaults. In addition to the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may waive on behalf of the Holders of all Securities a past Default or Event of Default as it relates to the Securities and its consequences except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security or (ii) an Event of Default resulting from the breach of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof cannot be amended or modified without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security adversely affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture. SECTION 6.8. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to the Securities; provided, however, that (a) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture (b) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that is prejudicial to the rights of the Holders of Securities not consenting or that would in the good faith judgment of the Trustee have a substantial likelihood of involving the Trustee in personal liability and (c) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to the taking of any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable -76- indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. This paragraph shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. SECTION 6.9. Limitation on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (a) the Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities; (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be, or which may be, incurred by the Trustee in pursuing the remedy; (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and the offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings; and (e) during such 60 day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities have not given to the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request. No one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 6.11. Application of Money Collected. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.9 hereof; -77- Second: to Holders of Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected for amounts due and unpaid on such Securities for principal of, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and Third: to the Company. The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.11. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. SECTION 6.12. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. SECTION 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.10 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any existing right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 6.14. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. SECTION 6.15. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. -78- ARTICLE VII TRUSTEE SECTION 7.1.

(f) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11 hereof. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11 hereof, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.11 hereof, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. SECTION 7.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring -83- Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee, without further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. (b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 7.11. (c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under the Trust Indenture Act. (d) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in Section 10.2 hereof. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. SECTION 7.12. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 7.12, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect heretofore specified in this Article. SECTION 7.13. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. SECTION 7.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent with respect to the Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue, exchange, registration of -84- transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company. Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.14, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 10.2 hereof. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 7.14. The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses (including legal fees) for its services under this Section 7.14. If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 7.14, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form: This is one of the Securities described in the within-mentioned Indenture.

SECTION 8.2. Application of Trust Funds. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 3.4 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (excluding the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. SECTION 8.3. Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may at its option by or pursuant to Board Resolution, at any time, elect to have Sections 8.4 or 8.5 hereof be applied to Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. SECTION 8.4. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company's exercise of the option specified in Section 8.3 above applicable to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.6 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter "defeasance"), subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 8.10. For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.7 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clause (b) of this Section, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall on a Company Order execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust funds described in Section 8.6(a) hereof and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities when such payments are due; (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.10, 2.12, 3.2, 3.3 and 6.10 hereof; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (d) this Article VIII.

Following a defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. SECTION 8.5. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise of the option specified in Section 8.3 hereof applicable to this Section, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Article III (other than under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7 and 3.19) and Article IV hereof with respect to the Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.6 -87- hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with Article III (other than under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7 and 3.19) and Article IV hereof, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in under Article III (other than under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7 and 3.19) and Article IV, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

SECTION 8.8. Repayment to Company. To the extent permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 76, as amended or interpreted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board from time to time, or any successor thereto ("Standard No. 76"), or to the extent permitted by the Commission, the Trustee shall, from time to time, take one or more of the following actions as specified in a Company Request: (a) retransfer, reassign and deliver to the Company any securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.6(a) hereof, provided that the Company shall, in substitution therefor, simultaneously transfer, assign and deliver to the Trustee other U.S. Governmental Obligations appropriate to satisfy the Company's obligations in respect of the Securities; and (b) the Trustee and Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon Company Request any excess money or securities held by them at any time, including, without limitation, any assets deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.6(a) exceeding those necessary for the purposes of Section 8.6(a) hereof.

Principal and Interest. Dana Corporation, a Virginia corporation (such corporation and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at a rate of 10-1/8 % per annum from the Issue Date (as defined in the Indenture referred to below) until repayment at maturity or redemption. The Company will pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing September 15, 2002. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand, to the extent permitted by law, at the rate borne by this Security; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent permitted by law. 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the principal amount of the Securities as provided above on each Interest Payment Date, commencing September 15, 2002, to the persons which are Holders (as reflected in the Register at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even if the Security is canceled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such record date; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal, the Company will make payment to the Holder that surrenders this Security to a Paying Agent on or after March 15, 2010. The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in U.S. Dollars. If a payment date is a date other than a Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Definitive Securities will be payable, and Definitive Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Global Securities will be payable by the Company through the Trustee to the Depositary in immediately available funds. Holders of Definitive Securities will be entitled to A-5 receive interest payments by wire transfer in immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Such wire instructions, upon receipt by the Trustee, shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder. If wire instructions have not been received by the Trustee with respect to any Holder of a Definitive Security, payment of interest may be made by check in immediately available funds mailed to such Holder at the address set forth upon the Register maintained by the Registrar for these Securities. 3. Paying Agents and Registrar. Initially, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Trustee, Paying Agent in New York City and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change the Paying Agent or transfer agent without notice to any Holder. The Company may also appoint one or more additional Paying Agents without notice to any Holder. The Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary may act as a Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent, subject to certain limitations. 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Initial Securities under an Indenture dated as of March 11, 2002 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), and registrar and a paying agent for the Securities. The terms of the Initial Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended ("TIA"). The Initial Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control. 5. Exchange Offer. In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement dated March 6, 2002, between Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and the several other initial purchasers named therein, as initial purchasers, and the Company (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), if the Exchange Offer contemplated thereby is not completed on or before the date that is nine months after the Closing Date, the annual interest rate borne by this Security will be increased by 1.0% per annum until the exchange offer is completed. In addition, in the event that a shelf registration statement contemplated thereby is not declared effective within the time periods specified therein, the annual interest rate borne by this Security will be increased by 1.0% per annum until such shelf registration statement is declared effective. Whenever there is mentioned herein, in any context, the payment of interest on this Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of any additional interest to the extent that, in such context, any such additional interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Security, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement and express mention of the payment of additional interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional interest in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. A-6 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Security: (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the Initial Securities at the time such Initial Securities are exchanged in the Exchange Offer shall be due and payable on the next Interest Payment Date for the Exchange Securities following completion of the Exchange Offer and shall be paid to the Holder on the relevant record date of the Exchange Securities issued in respect of the Initial Securities exchanged, and (ii) interest on the Exchange Securities issued in the Exchange Offer shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Initial Securities or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. 6. Redemption. (a) Optional Redemption. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities in whole, or from time to time in part, at any time after March 15, 2006 upon not less than 30 or not more than 60 days' prior notice mailed to each Holder to be so redeemed at such Holders' registered address. The Notes shall be redeemed at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on or after March 15 of the years set forth below:
REDEMPTION YEAR PRICE - ---- ----- 2006.......................................... 105.063% 2007.......................................... 102.531% 2008 and thereafter........................... 100.000%
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note being redeemed is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company. (b) In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not so listed, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem to be fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements) provided that (i) Securities and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 and (ii) no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less than $1,000. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if applicable, segregated and held in trust) money sufficient to pay the A-7 Redemption Price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on such date. 7. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in paragraph 8 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities. 8. Repurchase at Option of Holder. If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's Securities pursuant to the Change of Control offer on the terms set forth in this Indenture (a "Change of Control Offer"). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder as set forth in the Indenture. In the event of certain Asset Dispositions and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Company shall make an Offer to Purchase the outstanding applicable issue of Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the purchase date. 9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Securities selected for redemption. Also, it need not register the transfer or exchange of any Securities for a period beginning at the opening of 15 calendar days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption under paragraph 6 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection. 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes. 11. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agents will pay the money back to the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agents with respect to such money shall cease. A-8 12. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. Subject to certain conditions contained in the Indenture, at any time some or all of the obligations under the Securities and the Indenture may be terminated if the Company deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities to redemption or stated maturity, as the case may be. 13. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Indenture, with the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities adversely affected by such supplemental indenture, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or supplemental indentures to add any provisions to or to change or eliminate any provisions of this Indenture or of any other supplemental indenture or to modify the rights of the Holders of such Securities. Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution and the Trustee at any time and from time to time, may enter into supplemental indentures, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, mistake or inconsistency provided that such action does adversely affect the rights of any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive on behalf of the Holders of all Securities a past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security or (ii) an Event of Default resulting from the breach of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to the Indenture cannot be amended or modified without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security adversely affected. 14. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, among other things, to create Liens, incur Indebtedness and issue Preferred Stock, make Restricted Payments and make Asset Dispositions. In addition, the Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to engage in mergers and consolidations or transfers of all or substantially all of its assets. The Indenture requires the Company to deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officer's Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his duties as an Officer of the Company he would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If he does, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. After such time as: (1) the Securities have been assigned an Investment Grade rating by both Rating Agencies; (2) if the Investment Grade rating is BBB-, in the case of S&P, or Baa3, in the case of Moody's, it shall not be accompanied by either (i) in the case of S&P, a negative outlook, creditwatch negative or the equivalent thereof or (ii) in the case of Moody's, a negative A-9 outlook, a review for possible downgrade or the equivalent thereof; and (3) no Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, and notwithstanding that the Securities may later cease to have an Investment Grade rating by either or both Rating Agencies or that the Investment Grade rating may later be accompanied by either or both items (2)(i) or (2)(ii) above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to certain covenants. 15. Defaults and Remedies. The Indenture specifies certain Events of Default and remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount hereof may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon such a declaration, such principal amount, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest will become immediately due and payable. In the event of certain Events of Default relating to Bankruptcy Law, all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities then outstanding will ipso facto become due and payable. 16. Trustee Dealings with the Company. Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee. 17. No Recourse Against Others.

By accepting a Security, each Securityholder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 18. Authentication.

Principal and Interest. Dana Corporation, a Virginia corporation (such corporation and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at a rate of 10-1/8 % per annum from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Initial Securities in respect of which this Security has been issued in exchange or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date (as defined in the Indenture referred to below) until repayment at maturity or redemption. The Company will pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing September 15, 2002. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand, to the extent permitted by law, at the rate borne by this Security; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent permitted by law. 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the principal amount of the Securities as provided above on each Interest Payment Date, commencing September 15, 2002, to the persons which are Holders (as reflected in the Register at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even if the Security is canceled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such record date; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal, the Company will make payment to the Holder that surrenders this Security to a Paying Agent on or after March 15, 2010. B-4 The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in U.S. Dollars. If a payment date is a date other than a Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Definitive Securities will be payable, and Definitive Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Global Securities will be payable by the Company through the Trustee to the Depositary in immediately available funds. Holders of Definitive Securities will be entitled to receive interest payments by wire transfer in immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Such wire instructions, upon receipt by the Trustee, shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder. If wire instructions have not been received by the Trustee with respect to any Holder of a Definitive Security, payment of interest may be made by check in immediately available funds mailed to such Holder at the address set forth upon the Register maintained by the Registrar for these Securities. 3. Paying Agents and Registrar. Initially, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Trustee, Paying Agent in New York City and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change the Paying Agent or transfer agent without notice to any Holder. The Company may also appoint one or more additional Paying Agents without notice to any Holder. The Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary may act as a Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent, subject to certain limitations. 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of March 11, 2002 (the "Indenture"), between the Company, Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), and registrar and a paying agent for the Securities. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended ("TIA"). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control. B-5 5. Redemption. (a) Optional Redemption. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities in whole, or from time to time in part, at any time after March 15, 2006 upon not less than 30 or not more than 60 days' prior notice mailed to each Holder to be so redeemed at such Holders' registered address. The Notes shall be redeemed at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on or after March 15 of the years set forth below:
YEAR REDEMPTION PRICE 2006.......................................... 105.063% 2007.......................................... 102.531% 2008 and thereafter........................... 100.000%
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note being redeemed is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company. (b) In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not so listed, then on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem to be fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements) provided that (i) Securities and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 and (ii) no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less than $1,000. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if applicable, segregated and held in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on such date. B-6 6. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities. 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's Securities pursuant to the Change of Control offer on the terms set forth in this Indenture (a "Change of Control Offer"). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder as set forth in the Indenture. In the event of certain Asset Dispositions and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Company shall make an Offer to Purchase the outstanding applicable issue of Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the purchase date. 8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Securities selected for redemption. Also, it need not register the transfer or exchange of any Securities for a period beginning at the opening of 15 calendar days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption under paragraph 6 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection. 9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes. 10. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agents will pay the money back to the Company at its B-7 request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agents with respect to such money shall cease. 11. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. Subject to certain conditions contained in the Indenture, at any time some or all of the obligations under the Securities and the Indenture may be terminated if the Company deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities to redemption or stated maturity, as the case may be. 12. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Indenture, with the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities adversely affected by such supplemental indenture, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or supplemental indentures to add any provisions to or to change or eliminate any provisions of this Indenture or of any other supplemental indenture or to modify the rights of the Holders of such Securities. Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution and the Trustee at any time and from time to time, may enter into supplemental indentures, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, mistake or inconsistency provided that such action does adversely affect the rights of any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive on behalf of the Holders of all Securities a past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security or (ii) an Event of Default resulting from the breach of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to the Indenture cannot be amended or modified without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security adversely affected. 13. Restrictive Covenants.

If he does, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. After such time as: (1) the Securities have been assigned an Investment Grade rating by both Rating Agencies; (2) if the Investment Grade rating is BBB-, in the case of S&P, or Baa3, in the case of Moody's, it shall not be accompanied by either (i) in the case of S&P, a negative outlook, creditwatch negative or the equivalent thereof or (ii) in the case of Moody's, a negative outlook, a review for possible downgrade or the equivalent thereof; and (3) no Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, and notwithstanding that the Securities may later cease to have an Investment Grade rating by either or both Rating Agencies or that the Investment Grade rating may later be accompanied by either or both items (2)(i) or (2)(ii) above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to certain covenants. 14. Defaults and Remedies. The Indenture specifies certain Events of Default and remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount hereof may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon such a declaration, such principal amount, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest will become immediately due and payable. In the event of certain Events of Default relating to Bankruptcy Law, all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities then outstanding will ipso facto become due and payable. 15. Trustee Dealings with the Company.
