under the Credit Agreement with daily interest from the date hereof, computed
as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the principal amount hereof from time
to time unpaid, at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount
which shall at all times be equal to the rate of interest applicable to such
portion in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and with interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue
installments of interest and late charges at the rates provided in the Credit
Agreement. Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Credit
Agreement, except that all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or
accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof. Capitalized

This Note is one of one or more Notes evidencing borrowings under and is
entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
The principal of this Note may be due and payable in whole or in part prior to
the maturity date stated above and is subject to mandatory prepayment in the
amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Credit Agreement, and may
be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in the
Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements
between the undersigned Borrower and the Banks and the Agent, whether now
existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited
so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of
any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged
or received by the Banks exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable
2
law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable
to the Banks in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to
the Banks shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable
law; and if from any circumstance the Banks shall ever receive anything of
value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount,
an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
the principal balance of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower and to the
payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance
of principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower, such excess shall
be refunded to the undersigned Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be
paid to the Banks shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until
payment in full of the principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Borrower
(including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest
thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the
undersigned Borrower and the Banks and the Agent.
In case an Event of Default shall occur, the entire principal amount of
this Note may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in said Credit Agreement. In addition to and not in limitation
of the foregoing and the provisions of the Credit Agreement hereinabove
defined, the undersigned further agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed
by applicable law, to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and legal expenses, incurred by the holder of this Note in endeavoring to
collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due, whether by
acceleration or otherwise.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Michigan (without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules
of any jurisdiction).
The undersigned maker and all guarantors and endorsers, hereby waive
presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of intention to accelerate the
indebtedness evidenced hereby, notice of acceleration of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby and all other demands and notices in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as
specifically otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, and assent to
extensions of time of payment or forbearance or other indulgence without
notice.
This Note and certain other notes executed contemporaneously herewith
are replacement notes for that certain Amended and Restated Note dated as of
June 24, 1996 made by the undersigned to the order of BankBoston, N.A. in the
principal face amount of $75,000,000.00, which replacement notes are being
