[REVERSE  SIDE OF NOTE]

 

DANA CORPORATION

 

5.85% Senior Note due 2015

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dates as of December 10,  2004 (herein called the “Base Indenture”) as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 10, 2004 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), 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 Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $450 million.

 

The Notes of this series are subject to redemption at any time, in whole or in part, upon at least 30 calendar days’ notice by mail.  The Company will pay a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed (plus any interest that accrued before the redemption date) and any “make-whole amount” with respect to the Notes.  Interest installments on a Note specified to be due on or before such redemption date will be payable to the Holders of record on the relevant record date.

 

The “make-whole amount” means the amount by which (1) the aggregate present value (as of the redemption date) of the principal being redeemed and the remaining payments of interest to the stated maturity date (excluding the interest that accrued before the redemption date) payable on that principal had the redemption not been made, determined by discounting the principal and interest on a semi-annual basis in the “reinvestment rate” (as described below) from the dates on which the principal and interest would have been payable to the redemption date, exceeds (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed.

 

The reinvestment rate is determined on the third business day before the notice of redemption is given to participants and is equal to the Treasury Yield plus 0.25%.

 

The “Treasury Yield” means the yield on Treasury Notes at a constant maturity corresponding to the remaining life to the stated maturity (as of the redemption date, rounded to the nearest month) of the principal being redeemed.

 

The Treasury Yield will equal the arithmetic mean of the yields published in the statistical release (identified below) under the heading “Week Ending” for “U.S. Government Securities — Treasury Constant Maturities” with a maturity equal to such remaining life. If no published maturity exactly corresponds with such remaining life, then the Company will interpolate or extrapolate the Treasury Yield on a straight line basis from the arithmetic mean of the yields for the next shortest and longest published maturities.

 



 

The statistical release is the release designated “H.15(19)” or any successor publication published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System which re-ports yields on actively traded United States government Securities adjusted to constant maturities.  If no statistical release is published at the time of any redemption of the Notes or if the for-mat or content of the statistical release changes so as to preclude a determination of the Treasury Yield in the above manner, the Company will designate a reasonably comparable index.  For calculating the reinvestment rate, the Company will use the most recent statistical release published before the date of determination of the make-whole amount.

 

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note or (b) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of any accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

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 Notes 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 a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes 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 Holder of this Note will be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note 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.

 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note will 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 thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes 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 and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding for 60 calendar days after receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity.  The foregoing will apply to any suit instituted by

 



 

the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture will alter or impair the obligation of the company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium 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 registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium 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 thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

Pursuant to, but subject to the exceptions in, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to consummate an Exchange Offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall have the right to exchange this Note for a Note of the Company with the same maturity which shall have been registered under the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all material respects to this Note (except that such Note shall not be entitled to additional interest and shall not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions). The Holders shall be entitled to receive certain additional interest in the event such Exchange Offer is not consummated or the Notes are not offered for resale and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.(1)

 

The Notes of this series are issuable only in full registered form without coupons, in a minimum denomination of US $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that (or comparable amounts in foreign currency.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company of 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 shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent will be affected by notice to the contrary.

 


(1)                                  This Section not to appear on Exchange Securities or Additional Securities unless required by the terms of such Additional Securities.

 



 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Note Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to the Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 

All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture will have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
