<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your investment in the securities involves certain risks. In consultation with your own financial and legal advisers, you should carefully
consider whether an investment in the securities is suitable for you. The securities are not an appropriate investment for you if you do not understand the terms of the securities or financial matters
generally. Risks relating to the securities will be set forth in the relevant prospectus supplement for the offering of such securities. In addition, certain factors that may adversely affect the
business of AAM&nbsp;Inc. (as defined below) or Holdings (as defined below) are discussed in our periodic reports referred to in "Where You Can Find More Information," below. For example, Holdings'
Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2019, contains a discussion of significant risks that could be relevant to an investment in the securities. You should
not purchase the securities described in this prospectus unless you understand and know you can bear all of the investment risks involved. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are required to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and, in
accordance with those requirements, we file combined reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Unless the context otherwise requires, the
terms "the Company," "we," "us", "our" and "AAM" refer to collectively (i)&nbsp;American Axle&nbsp;&amp; Manufacturing,&nbsp;Inc., or AAM&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its direct and
indirect subsidiaries, (ii)&nbsp;American Axle&nbsp;&amp; Manufacturing Holdings,&nbsp;Inc., or Holdings, a Delaware corporation, and the direct parent corporation of AAM&nbsp;Inc. and
(iii)&nbsp;Metaldyne Performance Group&nbsp;Inc., or MPG, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Holdings has no material
operations or assets other than its ownership of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of AAM&nbsp;Inc. and MPG. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
can call the SEC's toll-free number at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information. The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and
other information regarding companies like ours that file with the SEC electronically. The documents can be found by searching the EDGAR archives at the SEC's website. Our SEC filings and other
information about us may also be obtained from our website at www.aam.com, although information on our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus. Material that we have filed may also be
inspected at the library of the New York Stock Exchange, 20 Broad Street, New York, New York 10005. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" the information we file with them, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents that
are considered part of this prospectus. Later information that we file will automatically update and supersede this information. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and any future
filings we make with the SEC under Section&nbsp;13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than information furnished under Items&nbsp;2.02 or 7.01 of Form&nbsp;8-K) (i)&nbsp;after
the date of the filing of this registration statement and prior to effectiveness and (ii)&nbsp;until the offering of the particular securities covered by a prospectus supplement or term sheet has
been completed. This prospectus is part of a registration statement filed with the SEC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may issue debt securities in one or more distinct series. This section summarizes the material terms of the debt securities that are common
to all series. Most of the financial terms and other specific material terms of any series of debt securities that we offer will be described in a prospectus supplement or term sheet to be attached to
the front of this prospectus. Furthermore, since the terms of specific debt securities may differ from the general information we have provided below, you should rely on information in the prospectus
supplement or term sheet that contradicts different information below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
required by federal law for all debt securities of companies that are publicly offered, the debt securities are governed by a document called an "indenture." An indenture is a
contract between us and a financial institution acting as trustee on your behalf. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the trustee will be U.S. Bank National Association. The trustee
has two main roles. First, </FONT></P>

trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf, described in the sixth paragraph under "Events of
Default." Second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties for us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
term "trustee" refers to the senior trustee or the subordinated trustee, as appropriate. We will refer to the indenture that governs the debt securities, as amended from time to
time, as the "Indenture." The Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"). </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following summary does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the debt securities and the
Indenture. We urge you to read the Indenture and the form of the debt securities, which you may obtain from us upon request. As used in this description, all references to "AAM&nbsp;Inc.," "our
company," the "issuer," "we," "us" or "our" mean American Axle&nbsp;&amp; Manufacturing,&nbsp;Inc., excluding, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries,
including those acting as Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below), and all references to "Holdings" mean American Axle&nbsp;&amp; Manufacturing Holdings,&nbsp;Inc., our parent corporation, excluding,
unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries. Holdings has no material operations or assets other than its ownership of 100% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of American Axle&nbsp;&amp; Manufacturing,&nbsp;Inc., and Metaldyne
Performance Group&nbsp;Inc. ("MPG"). The Subsidiary Guarantors are MPG and certain of AAM&nbsp;Inc.'s and MPG's current and future subsidiaries ("Subsidiary Guarantors"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The debt securities will be AAM&nbsp;Inc.'s obligations which may be secured or unsecured. The senior unsecured securities will rank equally
with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and will be guaranteed by Holdings and/or any Subsidiary Guarantors, if applicable. The Holdings guarantee and any Subsidiary guarantees
will rank equally with all of their other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Terms of secured debt securities and the related Holdings guarantee and any Subsidiary guarantees will be more
fully described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of AAM&nbsp;Inc.'s senior indebtedness as more fully
described in a prospectus supplement or term sheet. The subordinated debt securities will be guaranteed on a subordinated basis by Holdings, and, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors, as more
fully described in a prospectus supplement or term sheet. </FONT></P>

Indenture provides that any debt securities proposed to be sold under this prospectus and the attached prospectus supplement or term sheet, including the guarantee by Holdings and
any Subsidiary guarantees ("offered debt securities") and any debt securities issuable upon the exercise of debt warrants or upon conversion or exchange of other offered securities ("underlying debt
securities"), as well as other unsecured debt securities, may be issued under the Indenture in one or more series. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder from time to time. Debt securities issued under the Indenture, when a single trustee is acting
for all debt securities issued under the Indenture, are called the "indenture securities." The Indenture also provides that there may be more than one trustee thereunder, each with respect to one or
more different series of indenture securities. See "Resignation of Trustee" below. At a time when two or more trustees are acting under the Indenture, each with respect to only certain series, the
term "indenture securities" means the one or more series of debt securities with respect to which each respective trustee is acting. In the event that there is more than one trustee under the
Indenture, the powers and trust obligations of each trustee described in this prospectus will extend only to the one or more series of indenture securities for which it is trustee. If two or more
trustees are acting under the Indenture, then the indenture securities for which each trustee is acting would be treated as if issued under separate indentures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Indenture does not contain any provisions that give you protection in the event we issue a large amount of debt or we are acquired by another entity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
refer you to the prospectus supplement or term sheet for information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the Events of Default or our covenants that
are described below, including any addition of a covenant or other provision providing event risk or similar protection. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have the ability to issue indenture securities with terms different from those of indenture securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, to reopen a
previous issue of a series of indenture securities and issue additional indenture securities of that series unless the reopening was restricted when that series was created. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless
otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement or term sheet, the debt securities will be denominated in U.S. dollars and all payments on the debt securities will be
made in U.S. dollars. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payment
of the purchase price of the debt securities must be made in immediately available funds. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
used in this prospectus, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required
by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>provided</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>however</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, that, with
respect to foreign currency debt securities, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks 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, if the specified currency is the euro, the day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real Time Gross
Settlement Express Transfer ("TARGET") System is operating, which we refer to as a "TARGET Business Day"); and </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>provided further</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> that, with respect to
debt securities as to which LIBOR is an applicable interest rate basis, the day is also a London Business Day. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"London

Optional Redemption, Repayment and Repurchase  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If specified in a prospectus supplement or term sheet, we may redeem the debt securities at our option, in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, at a redemption price as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement or term sheet. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will mail notice of any redemption at least 30&nbsp;days, but not more than 60&nbsp;days, before the date of redemption to each holder of the debt securities to be redeemed. If
less than all of the debt securities are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select debt securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis or by any other method the trustee deems fair and
appropriate. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the debt securities or portions thereof called for redemption. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regardless
of anything in this prospectus to the contrary, if a debt security is an OID Note (as defined below) (other than an Indexed Note), the amount payable in the event of
redemption or repayment prior to its stated maturity will be the amortized face amount on the redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. The amortized face amount of an OID Note will be equal
to (i)&nbsp;the issue price specified in the applicable prospectus supplement or term sheet plus (ii)&nbsp;that portion of the difference between the issue price and the principal amount of the
OID Note that has accrued at the yield to maturity described in the prospectus supplement or term sheet (computed in accordance with generally accepted U.S. bond yield computation principles) by the
redemption or repayment date. However, in no case will the amortized face amount of an OID Note exceed its principal amount. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
may at any time purchase debt securities at any price in the open market or otherwise. We may hold, resell or surrender for cancellation any debt securities that we purchase. </FONT></P>

Issuance of Securities in Registered Form  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may issue the debt securities in registered form, in which case we will issue them in book-entry form only. Debt securities issued in
book-entry form will be represented by global securities. We also will have the option of issuing debt securities in non-registered form as bearer securities if we issue the securities outside the
United States to non-U.S. persons. In that case, the prospectus supplement or term sheet will set forth the mechanics for holding the bearer securities, including the procedures for receiving
payments, for exchanging the bearer securities for registered securities of the same series, and for receiving notices. The prospectus supplement or term sheet will also describe the requirements with
respect to our maintenance of offices or agencies outside the United States and the applicable U.S. federal tax law requirements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Book-Entry Holders.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will issue registered debt securities in book-entry form only, unless we specify otherwise in the applicable
prospectus
supplement or term sheet. This means debt securities will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a depositary that will hold them on behalf of financial institutions
that participate in the depositary's book-entry system. These participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the debt securities held by the depositary or its nominee. These
institutions may hold these interests on behalf of themselves or customers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the Indenture, only the person in whose name a debt security is registered is recognized as the holder of that debt security. Consequently, for debt securities issued in book-entry
form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the debt securities and we will make all payments on the debt securities to the depositary. The depositary will then pass along the
payments it receives to its participants, which, in turn, will pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they
have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the debt securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a result, investors will not own debt securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that
participates in the depositary's book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the debt securities are represented by one or more global securities, investors will be
indirect holders, and not holders of the debt securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Street Name Holders.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the future, we may issue debt securities in certificated form or terminate a global security. In these cases,
investors may
choose to hold their debt securities in their own names or in "street name." Debt securities held in street name are registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution chosen by
the investor, and the investor would hold a beneficial interest in those debt securities through the account he or she maintains at that institution. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
debt securities held in street name, we will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the debt securities are registered as the
holders of those debt securities and we will make all payments on those debt securities to them. These institutions will pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial
owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold debt securities in street name will be indirect holders, and
not holders, of the debt securities. </FONT></P>

to amend the Indenture or to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of the Indenture), we would seek the approval only from the holders,

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accrued
interest on a Floating Rate Note is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of a Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is the sum of the interest
factors calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each day is computed by dividing the interest rate in effect on that day by
(1)&nbsp;the actual number of days in the year, in the case of Treasury Rate Notes or CMT Rate Notes, or (2)&nbsp;360, in the case of other Floating Rate Notes. The interest factor for Floating
Rate Notes for which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more interest rate bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable interest
rate bases applied. All percentages resulting from any calculation are rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upward. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) will be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). Dollar amounts used in the calculation are rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded
upward). </FONT></P>

Indexed Notes  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may issue debt securities for which the amount of interest or principal that you will receive will not be known on your date of purchase.
Interest or principal payments for these types of debt securities, which we call "Indexed Notes," are determined by reference to securities, financial or non-financial indices, currencies,
commodities, interest rates, or a composite or baskets of any or all of the above. Examples of indexed items that may be used include a published stock index, the common stock price of a publicly
traded company, the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen, or the price of a barrel of West Texas intermediate crude oil. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
you purchase an Indexed Note, you may receive a principal amount at maturity that is greater than or less than the Note's face amount, and an interest rate that is greater than or
less than the interest rate that you would have earned if you had instead purchased a conventional debt security issued by us
at the same time with the same maturity. The amount of interest and principal that you will receive will depend on the structure of the Indexed Note and the level of the specified indexed item
throughout the term of the Indexed Note and at maturity. Specific information pertaining to the method of determining the interest payments and the principal amount will be described in the prospectus
supplement or term sheet, as well as additional risk factors unique to the Indexed Note, </FONT></P>

Renewable Notes  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may issue Renewable Notes ("Renewable Notes") which are debt securities that will automatically renew at their stated maturity date unless
the holder of a Renewable Note elects to terminate the automatic extension feature by giving notice in the manner described in the related prospectus supplement or term sheet. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
holder of a Renewable Note must give notice of termination at least 15 but not more than 30&nbsp;days prior to a Renewal Date. The holder of a Renewable Note may terminate the
automatic extension for less than all of its Renewable Notes only if the terms of the Renewable Note specifically permit partial termination. An election to terminate the automatic extension of any
portion of the Renewable Note is not revocable and will be binding on the holder of the Renewable Note. If the holder elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity of the Note, the
holder will become entitled to the principal and interest accrued up to the Renewal Date. The related prospectus supplement or term sheet will identify a stated maturity date beyond which the Maturity
Date cannot be renewed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
a Renewable Note is represented by a Global Security, DTC or its nominee will be the holder of the Note and therefore will be the only entity that can exercise a right to terminate
the automatic extension of a Note. In order to ensure that DTC or its nominee will exercise a right to terminate the automatic extension provisions of a particular Renewable Note, the beneficial owner
of the Note must instruct the broker or other DTC participant through which it holds an interest in the Note to notify DTC of its desire to terminate the automatic extension of the Note. Different
firms have different cut-off times for accepting instructions from their customers and, accordingly, each beneficial owner should consult the broker or other participant through which it holds an
interest in a Note to ascertain the cut-off time by which an instruction must be given for delivery of timely notice to DTC or its nominee. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may issue Notes whose stated Maturity Date may be extended at our option (an "Extendible Note") for one or more whole-year periods (each, an
"Extension Period"), up to but not beyond a stated maturity date described in the related prospectus supplement or term sheet (but not to exceed 30&nbsp;years from the date of issue). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
may exercise our option to extend the Extendible Note by notifying the applicable trustee (or any duly appointed paying agent) at least 45 but not more than 60&nbsp;days prior to
the then effective Maturity Date. If we elect to extend the Extendible Note, the trustee (or paying agent) will mail (at least 40&nbsp;days prior to the Maturity Date) to the registered holder of
the Extendible Note&nbsp;a notice (an "Extension Notice") informing the holder of our election, the new Maturity Date and any updated terms. Upon the mailing of the Extension Notice, the maturity of
that Extendible Note will be extended automatically as set forth in the Extension Notice. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However,
we may, not later than 20&nbsp;days prior to the Maturity Date of an Extendible Note (or, if that date is not a Business Day, prior to the next Business Day), at our option,
establish a higher interest rate, in the case of a Fixed Rate Note, or a higher spread and/or spread multiplier, in the case of a Floating Rate Note, for the Extension Period by mailing or causing the
applicable trustee (or paying agent) to mail notice of such higher interest rate or higher spread and/or spread multiplier to the holder of the Note. The notice will be irrevocable. </FONT></P>

Global Securities  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What Is a Global Security</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As noted above, we usually will issue debt securities as registered securities in book-entry form only. A
global security
represents one or any other number of individual debt securities. Generally, all debt securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
debt security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we
select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement or term sheet, The Depository Trust
Company, New York, New York, known as DTC, will be the depositary for all debt securities issued in book-entry form. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary or its nominee, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those
situations below under "Special Situations when a Global Security Will Be Terminated." As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and holder
of all debt securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account
with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that has an account with the depositary. Thus, an investor whose security
is represented by a global security will not be a holder of the debt security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will pay interest to the person listed in the trustee's records as the owner of the debt security at the close of business on a particular
day in advance of each due date for interest, even if that person no longer owns the debt security on the interest due date. That day, usually about two weeks in advance of the interest due date, is
called the "record date." Because we will pay all the interest for an interest period to the holders on the record date, holders buying and selling debt securities must work out between themselves the
appropriate purchase price. The most common manner is to adjust the sales price of the debt securities to prorate interest fairly between buyer and seller based on their respective ownership periods
within the particular interest period. This prorated interest amount is called "accrued interest." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Covenant Defeasance.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under current United States federal tax law, we can make the deposit described below and be released from some of
the
restrictive covenants in the Indenture under which the particular series was issued. This is called "covenant defeasance." In that event, you would lose the protection of those restrictive covenants
but would gain the protection of having money and government securities set aside in trust to repay your debt securities. If you hold subordinated securities, you also would be released from the
subordination provisions described in the applicable prospectus supplement or term sheet. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following:</FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2> If the debt securities of the particular series are denominated in U.S. dollars, deposit in trust for the benefit of all holders of such debt
securities a combination of money and United States government or United States government agency debt securities or bonds that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other
payments on the debt securities on their various due dates. </FONT><FONT SIZE=2>
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2> Deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that, under current United States federal income tax law, we may make the
above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves at maturity. </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2> Deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel stating that the above deposit does not require registration by us under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, and a legal opinion and officers' certificate stating that all conditions precedent to covenant defeasance have been complied with. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we accomplish covenant defeasance, you can still look to us for repayment of the debt securities if there were a shortfall in the trust deposit or the trustee is prevented from making
payment. In fact, if one of the remaining Events of Default occurred (such as our bankruptcy) and the debt securities became immediately due and payable, there might be a shortfall. Depending on the
event causing the default, you may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Full Defeasance.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If there is a change in United States federal tax law, as described below, we can legally release ourselves from all
payment and
other obligations on the debt securities of a particular series (called "full defeasance") if we put in place the following other arrangements for you to be repaid:</FONT></P>

Revenue Service ruling that allows us to make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt
securities ourselves at maturity. Under current United States federal tax law, the deposit and our legal release from the debt securities would be treated as though we paid you your share of the cash
and debt securities or bonds at the time the cash and debt securities or bonds were deposited in trust in exchange for your debt securities and you would recognize gain or loss on the debt securities
at the time of the deposit. </FONT><FONT SIZE=2>

the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt. The Board will make any determination to issue such shares based on its judgment as to the best
interests of Holdings and its stockholders. The Board, in so acting, could issue preferred stock or series common stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction
that some, or a majority, of Holdings' stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then-current market price of
such stock. </FONT></P>

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of the New York
Stock Exchange, which would apply so long as the common stock remains listed on the New York Stock Exchange, require
stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of common stock. These additional shares may be used for a
variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One
of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock, preferred stock and series common stock may be to enable Holdings' Board of Directors to issue shares to
persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Holdings by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or
otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of Holdings' management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing
market prices. </FONT></P>

The Delaware General Corporation Law  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holdings is a Delaware corporation subject to Section&nbsp;203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").
Section&nbsp;203 provides that, subject to certain exceptions specified therein, a Delaware corporation shall not engage in certain "business combinations" with any "interested stockholder" for a
three-year period following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder unless (i)&nbsp;the corporation has elected in its certificate of incorporation not to be governed by
Section&nbsp;203 (Holdings has not made such an election), (ii)&nbsp;prior to such time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (iii)&nbsp;upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested
stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding certain shares), or (iv)&nbsp;at or subsequent to such time, the
business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and by the affirmative vote of at least 66<SUP>2</SUP>/<SMALL>3</SMALL>% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the
interested stockholder. The three-year prohibition also does not apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of certain
extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval
of a majority of the corporation's directors. The term "business combination" is defined generally to include mergers or consolidations between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder,"
transactions with an "interested stockholder" involving the assets or stock of the corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries and transactions which increase an interested stockholder's percentage
ownership of stock. Except as specified in Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL, an "interested stockholder" is defined to include any person, other than the corporation and any direct or indirect
majority-owned subsidiary, that is (x)&nbsp;the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
certain circumstances, Section&nbsp;203 makes it more difficult for a person who would be an "interested stockholder" to effect various business combinations with a corporation
for a three-year period. The provisions of Section&nbsp;203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring Holdings to negotiate in advance with Holdings' Board of Directors, because the
stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Board of Directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in Holdings' Board of Directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise
deem to be in their best interests. </FONT></P>

Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws contain certain provisions that could make more difficult the acquisition of Holdings by means
of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Classified Board.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate of Incorporation provides that Holdings' Board of Directors will be divided into three classes of
directors, with
the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible. As a result, approximately one-third of the Board of Directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect
of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of Holdings' Board. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to any rights of holders of Preferred Stock or Series
Common Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors will be fixed in the manner provided in the Bylaws. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws
provide that the number of directors will be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board, but must consist of not less than three directors. In addition, the
Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to any rights of holders of Preferred Stock, and unless the Board otherwise determines, any vacancies will be filled only by the affirmative vote of
a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum. The Holdings' Board of Directors currently consists of eight directors, but will be increased to 11 members as a condition to, and
effective upon, the completion of the merger with MPG. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Removal of Directors.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors serving on a classified
board may be
removed by the stockholders only for cause. In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide that directors may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of
holders of at least 75% of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors ("Voting Stock"), voting together as a single class. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stockholder Action.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or
special meeting
of stockholders and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders can be called only by
Holdings' Chief Executive Officer or pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board. Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require that the Board call a special meeting of
stockholders. Moreover, the business permitted to be conducted at any special meeting of stockholders is limited to the business brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting given by
Holdings. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Advance Notice Procedures.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to make nominations of candidates for
election as
directors, or bring other business before an annual or special meeting of stockholders of Holdings (the "Stockholders Notice Procedure"). The Stockholders Notice Procedure provides that only persons
who are nominated by, or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, or by a stockholder who has given timely written notice to the </FONT></P>

of Holdings prior to the meeting at which directors are to be elected, will be eligible for election as directors of Holdings. The Stockholders Notice Procedure also provides that at an
annual meeting only such business may be conducted as has been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting delivered by Holdings or by, or at the direction of, the Chairman of the
Board or by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given timely written notice to the Secretary of Holdings of such stockholder's intention to bring such business before such
meeting. Under the Stockholders Notice Procedure, for notice of stockholder nominations to be made at an annual meeting to be timely, such notice must be received by Holdings not less than
70&nbsp;days nor more than 90&nbsp;days prior to the first anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting (or, if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 20&nbsp;days or
delayed by more than 70&nbsp;days from such anniversary date, not earlier than the 90th&nbsp;day prior to such meeting and not later than the later of (x)&nbsp;the 70th&nbsp;day prior to such
meeting and (y)&nbsp;the 10th&nbsp;day after public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the number of directors to be elected
is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or
specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by Holdings at least 80&nbsp;days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice will be
timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by Holdings not later than the 10th&nbsp;day after such public announcement is first made
by Holdings. Under the Stockholders Notice Procedure, for notice of a stockholder nomination to be made at a special meeting at which directors are to be elected to be timely, such notice must be
received by Holdings not earlier than the 90th&nbsp;day before such meeting and not later than the later of (x)&nbsp;the 70th&nbsp;day prior to such meeting and (y)&nbsp;the 10th&nbsp;day
after the public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In addition, under the Stockholders Notice Procedure, a stockholder's notice to Holdings proposing to nominate a person for
election as a director or relating to the conduct of business other than the nomination of directors must contain certain specified information. If the Chairman of the Board or other officer presiding
at a meeting determines that a person was not nominated, or other business was not brought before the meeting, in accordance with the Stockholders Notice Procedure, such person will not be eligible
for election as a director, or such business will not be conducted at such meeting, as the case may be. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proxy Access.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bylaws contain a proxy access provision which allows eligible stockholders who comply with the requirements set forth
in the ByLaws
to include their own director nominees in Holdings' proxy statement along with the candidates nominated by the Board. Pursuant to the proxy access provision, a stockholder, or group of up to 20
stockholders, owning an aggregate of 3% or more of Holdings' outstanding capital stock continuously for at least three years, may nominate a candidate for election to the Board and such candidate will
be included in Holdings' proxy statement for the applicable annual meeting of Holdings' stockholders. Holdings will not be required, however, to include in its proxy statement more stockholder
nominees than that number constituting the greater of (i)&nbsp;two and (ii)&nbsp;20% of the total number of directors of Holdings then serving on the Board. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Liability of Directors; Indemnification.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director will not be personally liable for
monetary damages
to Holdings or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The Certificate of
Incorporation also provides that each current or former director, officer, employee or agent of Holdings, or each such person who is or was serving or who had agreed to serve at the request of
Holdings as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such
person), will be indemnified by Holdings to the full extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may in the future be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that
such amendment permits Holdings to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted Holdings to provide prior to such amendment). The Certificate of Incorporation also specifically

indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement or term sheet, purchasers are required to pay for Foreign Currency Debt Securities in the specified currency. At the present time, there are limited
facilities in the United States for conversion of U.S. dollars into specified currencies and vice versa, and banks may elect not to offer non-U.S. dollar checking or savings account facilities in the
United States. However, if requested on or prior to the fifth Business Day preceding the date of delivery of the Foreign Currency Debt Securities, or by such other day as determined by the agent who
presents such offer to purchase Foreign Currency Debt Securities to us, such agent may be prepared to arrange for the conversion of U.S. dollars into the specified currency set forth in the applicable
prospectus supplement or term sheet to enable the purchasers to pay for the Foreign Currency Debt Securities. Each such conversion will be made by the agents on such terms and subject to such
conditions, limitations and charges as the agents may from time to time establish in accordance with their regular foreign exchange practices. All costs of exchange will be borne by the purchasers of
the Foreign Currency Debt Securities. </FONT></P>

banks do not generally offer non-U.S. dollar-denominated account facilities in their offices in the United States, although they are permitted to do so. Accordingly, a holder of Foreign Currency Debt
Securities will be paid in U.S. dollars converted from the specified currency unless the holder is entitled to elect, and does elect, to be paid in the specified currency, or as otherwise specified in

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
U.S. dollar amount to be received by a holder of a Foreign Currency Debt Security will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by an agent for us
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement or term sheet (the "Exchange Rate Agent") at approximately 11:00&nbsp;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 us for the purchase by the quoting dealer
of the specified currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date in the aggregate amount of the specified currency payable to all holders of Foreign Currency Debt Securities scheduled to
