called the "Company", which term includes any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or
registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of $ on the Stated
Maturity Date specified above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each
as defined on the reverse hereof or upon any declaration of acceleration; each
such Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or declaration of
acceleration being hereinafter referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect
to the principal repayable on such date), and to pay interest thereon, at the
Interest Rate per annum specified above, until the entire principal hereof is
paid or made available for payment. The Company will pay interest in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above (each, an "Interest
Payment Date"), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding
the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as
defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments
will commence on the second Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original
Issue Date to the Holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such
second Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Note will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Any capitalized term not
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to it in that certain Indenture
by and among the Company, Sun Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation
("Sun"), and Bankers Trust Company, a New York banking corporation, dated as of
April 24, 1996, and amended pursuant to a First Supplemental Indenture dated as
of August 20, 1997.
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest
has been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an "Interest
Period"). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described
herein, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) is registered in the Security Register applicable to this
Note at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a
Business Day, as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment
Date (the "Record Date"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest payable on the
Maturity Date will be payable to the Person to whom the principal hereof and
premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for ("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on any Record Date, and shall be paid to the Person in
whose name this Note is registered in the Security Register applicable to this
Note at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special Record
Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee
hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this
Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record
Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Note may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more
fully provided for in the Indenture.
Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this
Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon
presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable
Repayment Date, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the reverse
hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other paying agency in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York which is maintained by the Trustee where
Notes may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, and
where notices to or demands upon the Company in respect of the Notes or the
Indenture may be made, as the Company may determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
such payment is to be made in a Specified Currency other than United States
dollars as set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the Holder
hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that such
bank has appropriate facilities
-3-
4
therefor and that this Note (and, if applicable, a duly completed repayment
election form) is presented and surrendered at the aforementioned office of the
Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in
accordance with its normal procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest
Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register maintained at the aforementioned office of the Trustee;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a Holder of U.S. $10,000,000 (or, if the Specified
Currency specified above is other than United States dollars, the equivalent
thereof in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of
Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions) will be
entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire
transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15
calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer
instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by
such Xxxxxx.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is
not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall
accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of such
payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions
are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in
The City of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Specified Currency is
other than United States dollars and any payment is to be made in the Specified
Currency in accordance with the provisions hereof, such day is also not a day
on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or
executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center (as defined below)
of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, in the case of European
Currency Units ("ECU"), is not a day that appears as an ECU non-settlement day
on the display designated as "ISDE" on the Xxxxxx Monitor Money Rates Service
(or a day so designated by the ECU Banking Association) or, if ECU
non-settlement days do not appear on that page (and are not so designated), is
not a day on which payments in ECU cannot be settled in the international
interbank market). "Principal Financial Center" means the capital city of the
country issuing the Specified Currency (except as described in the immediately
preceding sentence with respect to ECUs) except that with respect to United
States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch
guilders, Italian lire, Swiss francs and ECU's, the "Principal Financial
Center" shall be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Frankfurt, Amsterdam,
Milan, Zurich and Luxembourg, respectively.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency (or, if the
Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of the
country which issued the Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is
legal tender for the payment of such debts). If the Specified Currency is
other than United States dollars, any such amounts so payable by the Company
will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into United States
dollars for payment to the Holder of this Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Holder of this Note may elect to receive such amounts in such Specified
Currency pursuant to the provisions set forth below.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the
Holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a
specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest
in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, any United States dollar
amount to be received by the Holder of this Note will be based on the highest
bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at
approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day
preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (one of whom may be
-4-
5
the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by
the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency
for United States dollars for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate
amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of Notes scheduled to
receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer
commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by
the Holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid
quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the
Specified Currency unless the Specified Currency is not available due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of
the Company.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the Holder
of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of
principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the
Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the
Trustee at its corporate trust office in The City of New York on or prior to
the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity
Date, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered
or sent by facsimile transmission. The Holder of this Note may elect to
receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in the Specified
Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest and
need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election will remain
in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but written notice of
any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the
applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date,
as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a
composite currency and the Holder of this Note shall have duly made an election
to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if
any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if
the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company
will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of this Note by
making such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market
Exchange Rate (as defined below) computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the
second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate
is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market
Exchange Rate or as otherwise specified on the face hereof. The "Market
Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in
The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as
certified for customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as otherwise
determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under
such circumstances in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of
Default.
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and the Holder of this
Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of
any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this
Note in the Specified Currency and if such composite currency is unavailable
due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the
control of the Company, then the Company will be entitled to satisfy its
obligations to the Holder of this Note by making such payment in United States
dollars. The amount of each payment in United States dollars shall be
computed on the basis of the equivalent of the composite currency in United
States dollars. The component currencies of the composite currency for this
purpose (collectively, the "Component Currencies" and each, a "Component
Currency") shall be the currency amounts that were components of the composite
currency as of the last day on which the composite currency was used. The
equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars shall be
calculated by aggregating the United States dollar equivalents of the Component
Currencies. The United States dollar equivalent of each of the Component
Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the
Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or,
if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most
recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency, or as
otherwise specified on the face hereof.
-5-
6
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of
combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component
Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more
Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of
those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such
single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component
Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is
divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the original Component
Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the
sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall
be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof after the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication and, if
so specified above, in the Addendum hereto, which further provisions shall have
the same force and effect as if set forth on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, if the
face of this Note specifies that an Addendum is attached hereto or that
"Other/Additional Provisions" apply, this Note shall be subject to the terms
set forth in such Addendum or such "Other/Additional Provisions".
REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH
ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE
SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH IN THIS PLACE.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to
any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed under its corporate seal.

SUN COMMUNITIES OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(FIXED RATE)
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
(hereinafter called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an Indenture (the "Indenture") among the Company, Sun, and Bankers
Trust Company, a banking corporation organized under the laws of the State of
New York, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this
Note is a part), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of
Securities designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More From Date
of Issue" (the "Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note or in an
Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum
denominations of U.S. $1,000 and integral multiples thereof or the minimum
Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following
two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated
Maturity Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on
any date on or after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face
hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 or
the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal
amount hereof shall be at least U.S. $1,000 or such minimum Authorized
Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (each, a "Redemption
Date"), on written notice given to the Holder of this Note no more than 60 nor
less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date and in accordance with
the provisions of the Indenture. If no Initial Redemption Date is set forth on
the face hereof, this Note may not be redeemed prior to Maturity. The
"Redemption Price", if any, shall initially be the Initial Redemption
Percentage specified on the face hereof, if any, multiplied by the unpaid
principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption
Percentage, if any, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption
Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the
face hereof until the Redemption Price is 100% of the unpaid principal amount
to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new
Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the
same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon
the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the
Holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face
hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 or the minimum
Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof
shall be at least U.S. $1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at a
repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount to be repaid,
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment
(each, a "Repayment Date"). If an Optional Repayment Date is not set forth on
the face hereof, this Note will not be repayable at the option of the Holder
hereof prior to Maturity. For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be
received, together with the form hereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment"
duly completed, by the Trustee at its corporate trust office not more than 60
nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such
repayment option by the
-8-
9
Holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note
in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and
otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If this Note is a Discount Note as specified on the face hereof, the
amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment
or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of (1) the Issue Price, if
any, specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of the Discount,
as defined below) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note (if
applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable), if any, and (2) any
unpaid interest on this Note accrued from the Original Issue Date to the
Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the
case may be. The difference between the Issue Price and 100% of the principal
amount of this Note is referred to herein as the "Discount".
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of
any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this
Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause the yield on the Note to be
constant. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day
year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as
defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment
Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal
to the initial interest rate applicable to this Note and an assumption that the
maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original
Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial Period") is
shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of
the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial
Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided
into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period
being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.
If an Event of Default, shall occur and be continuing, the principal
amount of the Notes may be declared accelerated and thereupon become due and
payable in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided
in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Note.
If any Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on
the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect
to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such Holder shall have previously given
written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall
have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default as Trustee, (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered
reasonable indemnity to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request, (iv) the Trustee shall have
failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, and (v) the Trustee shall not have
received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of
this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request.
The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof (and Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or any interest thereon on or after the respective due dates
expressed herein.
-9-
10
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with
the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected thereby. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holders of this Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Company in any Place of Payment where the principal of,
make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Note are payable, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereon one or
more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the
same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities of this series, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any
Additional Amounts as contemplated by the Indenture.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Note, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby or hereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such or, against any
past, present or future stockholder, partner, officer or director, as such, of
the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any
successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the
enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the
acceptance of this Note by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration
for the issue of the Securities of this series.
THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS NOTE, SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to
