STANDARD FEDERAL BANCORPORATION, INC., a Michigan Corporation (the
"Company", which terms include any successor corporation under the Subordinated
Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay
to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, 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) (each
such Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date 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 principal hereof is paid or duly made available for
payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) at the Default Rate per annum specified above on any overdue
principal, premium and/or interest. 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.
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 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
2
3
name this Note is registered 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 Subordinated Indenture.
Payment of principal, 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 of this Note, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the
reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for
that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently
located at [ADDRESS], New York, New York [ZIP CODE], or at such other paying
agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company may
determine; provided, however, that if the Specified Currency specified above is
other than United States dollars and such payment is to be made in the
Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions 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
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 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 holder.
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
3
4
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 Reuter 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 that with respect to United
States dollars, Australian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders, Italian
lire, Swiss francs and ECU, the "Principal Financial Center" shall be The City
of New York, Sydney, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan, Zurich and Luxembourg,
respectively.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, 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, except as otherwise provided below, 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.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the
holder of this Note may elect to receive such amounts in such Specified
Currency. If 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 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
4
5
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.
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 cable, telex or other form of 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) 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 (as defined in the Subordinated
Indenture).
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
5
6
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
by the Exchange Rate Agent 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
most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency,
or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.
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 and, if so specified on the face hereof, in an
Addendum hereto, which further provisions shall have the same force and effect
as if set forth on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or
"Other/Additional Provisions" apply to this Note as specified above, this Note
shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such
"Other/Additional Provisions".
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Subordinated Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
STANDARD FEDERAL BANCORPORATION, INC.
SUBORDINATED MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Fixed Rate)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Debt Securities (the
"Debt Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under a Subordinated
Indenture, dated as of June __, 1996, as amended, modified or supplemented from
time to time (the "Subordinated Indenture"), between the Company and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any
successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture), to which Subordinated
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 Debt
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Debt 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 Subordinated
Indenture or on the face hereof, as the case maybe.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided in
the Subordinated Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Note is issued
subject to such provisions. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same,
agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, and authorizes the Trustee on
his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate such subordination as provided in the Subordinated Indenture and
appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
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 specified 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
8
9
with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (each, a
"Redemption Date"), on notice given no more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar
days prior to the Redemption Date and in accordance with the provisions of the
Subordinated Indenture. The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial
Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof multiplied by the unpaid
principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption
Percentage 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 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"). 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 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 an Original Issue 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 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) 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
9
10
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) 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, as defined in the Subordinated Indenture,
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be accelerated in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Subordinated Indenture.
The Subordinated Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i)
the entire indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of
Default with respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain
conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
The Subordinated 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 Debt Securities
at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of
not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Debt
Securities at the time outstanding and affected thereby. The Subordinated
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities
of any series, on behalf of the holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Subordinated
Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Subordinated Indenture permit the
holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on
behalf of all of the holders of Debt Securities of such series, certain past
defaults under the Subordinated Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and other Notes
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange heretofore or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note.
No reference herein to the Subordinated Indenture and no provision of
this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium,
if any, and interest in respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or
formula, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
10
11
As provided in the Subordinated Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is
registrable in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any
place where the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon 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 by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
As provided in the Subordinated Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein and herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but
otherwise having the same terms and conditions, as requested by the holder
hereof surrendering the same.
No service charge shall 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 or the Trustee may treat
the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner thereof 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.
The Subordinated Indenture and this Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely in such State.
