payable on the redemption hereof, (b)&nbsp;permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted,

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The IQ Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, without premium
or penalty, at any time or from time to time on or after April&nbsp;15, 2010, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60&nbsp;days&#146; notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be
redeemed plus unpaid accrued interest to the redemption date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">If notice of redemption is given as aforesaid, the IQ Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the
redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price together with any accrued interest
thereon, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the
redemption price and accrued interest) the IQ Notes shall cease to bear interest. If any IQ Note
called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall,
until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at a rate of 5.65% per annum. Subject to the
foregoing and applicable law (including without limitation, United States federal securities laws),
the Company or its affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, purchase outstanding IQ Notes
by tender, in the open market or by private agreement; provided, however, the Company may not use
any purchased IQ Notes as a credit against any redemption obligation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 3.02. <I>Redemption at the Holder&#146;s Option. </I>For purposes of this Section&nbsp;3.02 a
&#147;Beneficial Owner&#148; means the person who has the right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of an
interest in the IQ Notes and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as the interest
and principal payable to the holder thereof. In general, a determination of beneficial ownership
in the IQ Notes will be subject to the rules, regulations and procedures governing the depositary
and institutions that have accounts with the depositary or a nominee thereof (the <B>&#147;</B>Participants<B>&#148;</B>).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">Unless the IQ Notes have been declared due and payable prior to their maturity by reason of a
default (as defined in the Indenture), the personal representative or other person authorized to
represent the estate of the deceased Beneficial Owner or from a surviving joint tenant(s) or
tenant(s) by the entirety or the trustee of a trust (each, a &#147;Representative&#148;) of a deceased
Beneficial Owner has the right to request redemption prior to the stated maturity of all or part of
such deceased Beneficial Owner&#146;s interest, expressed in integral multiples of $1,000 principal
amount, in the IQ Notes, and the Company will redeem the same subject to the limitations that the
Company will not be obligated to redeem, during the period from April&nbsp;13, 2005 through and
including April&nbsp;15, 2006 (the &#147;Initial Period&#148;), and during any twelve-month period which ends on
and includes each April&nbsp;15 thereafter (each such twelve-month period being hereinafter referred to
as a &#147;Subsequent Period&#148;), (i)&nbsp;on behalf of a deceased Beneficial Owner any interest in the IQ
Notes which exceeds an aggregate principal amount of $35,000 (the &#147;Individual Limitation&#148;) or (ii)
interests in the IQ Notes in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $3,000,000 (the &#147;Annual
Limitation&#148;). Representatives of deceased Beneficial Owners must make arrangements with the
Participant through whom such interest is owned in order that timely presentation of redemption
requests can be made by the Participant to the Trustee. The Trustee shall maintain records with
respect to such redemption requests received by it including date of receipt, the name of the
Participant filing the redemption request and the status of each such redemption request with
respect to the Individual Limitation and the Annual Limitation. The Trustee shall immediately file
each redemption request it receives, together with the information regarding the eligibility
thereof with respect to the Individual Limitation and Annual Limitation, with the Company. The
depositary, the Trustee and the Company may conclusively assume, without independent investigation,
that the statements contained in each redemption request are true and correct and shall have no
responsibility for reviewing any documents submitted to the Participant by the Representative or
for determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the Beneficial Owner of the Interest in
the IQ Notes to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the Representative is duly
authorized to request redemption on behalf of the applicable Beneficial Owner.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">Subject to the Individual Limitation and the Annual Limitation, the Company will, after the
death of any Beneficial Owner, redeem the interest of such Beneficial Owner in the IQ Notes on the
next interest payment date occurring not less than 30&nbsp;days following receipt by the Company of a
redemption request received from the Trustee. If redemption requests exceed the aggregate
principal amount of interests in IQ Notes required to be redeemed during the Initial Period or
during any Subsequent Period, then such excess redemption requests will be applied in the order
received by the Trustee to successive Subsequent Periods, regardless of the number of Subsequent
Periods required to redeem such interests. The Company may at any time notify the Trustee that it
will redeem, on the next interest payment date occurring not less than 30&nbsp;days thereafter, all or
any such lesser amount of IQ Notes for which redemption requests have been received but which are
not then eligible for redemption by reason of the Individual Limitation and the Annual Limitation.
All redemption requests will be redeemed in the order in which the Trustee receives the redemption
request. To obtain repayment pursuant to a redemption request, the Representative must provide to
the Participant (i)&nbsp;a written request for repayment signed by the Representative, and such
signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of
the NASD or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United
States, (ii)&nbsp;appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that (A)&nbsp;the
Representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased Beneficial Owner, (B)&nbsp;the death of
such Beneficial Owner has occurred and (C)&nbsp;the deceased was the owner of a beneficial interest in
such IQ Note at the time of death, (iii)&nbsp;if applicable, a properly executed assignment or
endorsement, and (iv)&nbsp;if the beneficial interest in such IQ Note is held by a nominee of the
deceased Beneficial Owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such nominee attesting to
the deceased&#146;s ownership of a beneficial interest in such IQ Note. The Participant will provide
these documents to the Trustee. All questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of
redemption on behalf of a deceased Beneficial Owner will be determined by the Company, in its sole
discretion, which determinations will be final and binding on all parties.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">For purposes of this Section&nbsp;3.02 an interest in IQ Notes held in tenancy by the entirety,
joint tenancy or by tenants in common will be deemed to be held by a single Beneficial Owner and
the death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed the death of
a Beneficial Owner. The death of a person who, during his lifetime, was entitled to substantially
all of the rights of a Beneficial Owner of an interest in the IQ Notes will be deemed the death of
the Beneficial Owner, regardless of the recordation of such interest on the records of the
Participant, if such rights can be established to the satisfaction of the Participant and the
Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">If the Company, although not obligated to do so, chooses to redeem interests of any deceased
Beneficial Owner in the IQ Notes in the Initial Period or any Subsequent Period in excess of the
Individual Limitation, such redemption, to the extent that it exceeds the Individual Limitation for
any deceased Beneficial Owner, shall not be included in the computation of the Annual Limitation
for such Initial Period or such Subsequent Period, as the case may be, or for any succeeding
Subsequent Period. The Company may, at its option, redeem interests of deceased Beneficial Owners
in the IQ Notes, in the Initial Period or any Subsequent Period in an aggregate principal amount
exceeding the Annual Limitation. Any such redemption, to the extent it exceeds the Annual
Limitation, shall not reduce the Annual Limitation for any Subsequent Period.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">In the case of any redemption request which is presented pursuant to this Section&nbsp;3.02 and
which has not been fulfilled at the time the Company gives notice of its election to redeem part of
the IQ Notes pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.01 hereof, the IQ Notes which are the subject of such pending
redemption request shall be redeemed prior to any other IQ Notes.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The price the Company will pay for the IQ Notes to be redeemed pursuant to a redemption
request is 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption
date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The principal amount of any IQ Notes acquired or redeemed by the Company other than by
redemption at the option of any Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner pursuant to this
Section&nbsp;3.02 shall not be included in the computation of either the Individual Limitation or the
Annual Limitation for the Initial Period or for any Subsequent Period.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">Any redemption request may be withdrawn by the Representative upon delivery of a written
request for such withdrawal given by the Participant on behalf of the Representative to the
depositary and by the depositary to the Trustee not less than 60&nbsp;days prior to the interest payment
date on which such IQ Notes are eligible for redemption.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The Company may, at its option, purchase any IQ Notes for which Redemption Requests have been
received in lieu of redeeming such IQ Notes. Any IQ Notes so purchased by the Company shall either
be reoffered for sale and sold within 180&nbsp;days after the date of purchase or presented to the
Trustee for redemption and cancellation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 4. The IQ Notes are not redeemable by the operation of the maintenance and replacement
provisions of the Indenture or with the proceeds of released property or in any other manner except
as set forth in Section&nbsp;3 hereof.

<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">SECTION 5.06. <I>Insurer&#146;s Rights to Notice; Subrogation.</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">As long as the Policy shall be in full force and effect, the Company, the Trustee and any
Paying Agent agree to comply with the following provisions:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">(a)&nbsp;If the Trustee or Paying Agent determines that there will be insufficient funds to pay the
principal of or interest on the IQ Notes on any date when payment is due, the Trustee or Paying
Agent shall so notify the Insurer within one business day after such determination. Such notice
shall specify the amount of the anticipated deficiency, the IQ Notes to which such deficiency is
applicable and whether such IQ Notes will be deficient as to principal or interest, or both. The
Insurer will make payments of principal or interest due, and payments due on receipt of a
redemption request from a Representative on the IQ Notes on or before the first day next following
the date on which the Insurer shall have received notice of nonpayment from the Trustee or Paying
Agent or the date when such payment is due, whichever occurs later.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">(b)&nbsp;The Trustee or Paying Agent shall, after giving notice to the Insurer as provided in (a)
above, make available to the Insurer and, at the Insurer&#146;s direction, to The Bank of New York, in
New York, New York, as insurance trustee for the Insurer or any successor insurance trustee (the
&#147;Insurance Trustee&#148;), the registration books of the Company maintained by the Trustee or Paying
Agent and all records relating to the IQ Notes maintained by the Trustee or the Paying Agent under
the Indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">(c)&nbsp;The Trustee or Paying Agent shall provide the Insurer and the Insurance Trustee with a
list of registered owners of IQ Notes entitled to receive principal or interest payments from the
Insurer under the terms of the Policy, and shall make arrangements with the Insurance Trustee (i)
to mail checks or pay by wire transfer to the registered owners of IQ Notes entitled to receive all
or partial interest payments from the Insurer and (ii)&nbsp;to pay principal upon IQ Notes surrendered
or otherwise assigned to the Insurance Trustee by the registered owners of IQ Notes entitled to
receive full or partial principal payments from the Insurer.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">(d)&nbsp;The Trustee or Paying Agent shall, at the time it provides notice to the Insurer pursuant
to (a)&nbsp;above, notify registered owners of IQ Notes entitled to receive the payment of principal or
interest thereon from the Insurer (i)&nbsp;as to the fact of such entitlement, (ii)&nbsp;that the Insurer
will remit to them all or a part of the interest payments next coming due upon proof of any
holder&#146;s entitlement to interest payments and delivery to the Insurance Trustee, in form
satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee, of an appropriate assignment of the registered owner&#146;s right
to payment, (iii)&nbsp;that should they be entitled to receive full payment of principal from the
Insurer, they must surrender their IQ Notes (and/or provide an appropriate instrument of assignment
in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee to permit ownership of such IQ Notes to be registered
in the name of the Insurer) for payment to the Insurance Trustee, and not the Trustee or Paying
Agent and (iv)&nbsp;that should they be entitled to receive partial payment of principal from the
Insurer, they must surrender their IQ Notes (and/or provide an appropriate instrument of assignment
in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee) for payment thereon first to the Trustee or Paying
Agent who shall note on such IQ Notes (or in the registry for same) the portion of the principal
paid by the Company through the Trustee or Paying Agent and then to the Insurance Trustee, which
will then pay the unpaid portion of principal.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">(e)&nbsp;In the event that the Trustee or Paying Agent has notice that any payment of principal of
or interest on IQ Notes which has become Due for Payment (as defined in the Policy) and which is
made to a holder of IQ Notes by or on behalf of the Company has been deemed a preferential transfer
and theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code
by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the final, nonappealable order of a court having
competent jurisdiction, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall, at the time the Insurer is notified
pursuant to (a)&nbsp;above, notify all registered owners that in the event that any registered owner&#146;s
payment is so recovered, such registered owner will be entitled to payment from the Insurer to the
extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are not otherwise available, and the Trustee or Paying
Agent shall furnish to the Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest
on the IQ Notes which have been made by the Trustee or Paying Agent and subsequently recovered from
registered owners and the dates on which such payments were made.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">(f)&nbsp;In addition to those rights granted the Insurer under the Indenture, the Insurer shall, to
the extent it makes payment of principal of or interest on the IQ Notes, become subrogated to the
rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Policy, and to
evidence such subrogation (i)&nbsp;in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due interest, the
Trustee or Paying Agent shall note the Insurer&#146;s rights as subrogee on the registration books of
the Company maintained by the Trustee or Paying Agent upon receipt from the Insurer of proof of the
payment of interest thereon to the registered owners of the IQ Notes, and (ii)&nbsp;in the case of
subrogation as to claims for past due principal, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall note the
Insurer&#146;s rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Company maintained by the Trustee or
Paying Agent upon surrender of the IQ Notes by the registered owners thereof together with proof
from the Insurer of the payment of principal thereof.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">SECTION 5.07. <I>Insurer&#146;s Rights Concerning the Trustee.</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">(a)&nbsp;The Insurer shall receive prompt written notice from the Company of any Trustee or Paying
Agent resignation. The Company shall not appoint a successor Trustee or Paying Agent without the
prior approval of the Insurer.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 12%">(b)&nbsp;Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, in determining whether the rights of
the holders of IQ Notes will be adversely affected in any material respect by any action taken
pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Indenture, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall consider
the effect on the holders of IQ Notes as if there were no Policy.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; font-size: 12pt">SECTION 5.08. <I>Insurer&#146;s Rights.</I>

enforcement of all rights and remedies granted to the holders of IQ Notes.

bonds issued under the Indenture, as supplemented and amended as above set forth, the Company, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Insurer, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Supplement or any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof, and all covenants, stipulations,
promises and agreements in this Supplement contained by and on behalf of the Company shall be for
the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Insurer and the
holders of the bonds.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">The Company agrees to comply with all the covenants, terms and conditions set forth in the
Insurance Agreement and to ensure that no Event of Default (as defined therein) occurs thereunder.
If an Event of Default (as defined in the Insurance Agreement) occurs, the Insurer shall give
notice thereof to the Trustee and the Trustee shall thereupon demand that the Company cure such
failure as set forth in Section&nbsp;11.01(f) of the Indenture. As provided in Section&nbsp;11.01(f) of the
Indenture, the failure to cure such failure within the time period set forth therein, shall be a
default under the Indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 6. The Company reserves the right, without any consent, vote or other action by the
holders of the IQ Notes or of any subsequent series of bonds issued under the Indenture, to make
such amendments to the Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Section
17.02 to read as follows:


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt">SECTION 17.02. With the consent of the holders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, or, if fewer than all series are
affected, not less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds at the
time outstanding of each series the rights of the holders of which are
affected, voting together, the Company, when authorized by a resolution, and
the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of any of the bonds
and coupons; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall
(1)&nbsp;extend the maturity of any of the bonds or reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the amount of the principal
thereof, or reduce any premium payable on the redemption thereof, without
the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, or (2)&nbsp;permit the
creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity with
the lien of this Indenture, without the consent of the holders of all the
bonds then outstanding, or (3)&nbsp;reduce the aforesaid percentage of the
principal amount of bonds the holders of which are required to approve any
such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all the
bonds then outstanding. For the purposes of this Section, bonds shall be
deemed to be affected by a supplemental indenture if such supplemental
indenture adversely affects or diminishes the rights of holders thereof
against the Company or against its property. The Trustee may in its
discretion determine whether or not, in accordance with the foregoing, bonds
of any particular series would be affected by any supplemental indenture and
any such determination shall be conclusive upon the holders of bonds of such
series and all other series. Subject to the provisions of Sections&nbsp;16.02
and 16.03 hereof, the Trustee shall not be liable for any determination made
in good faith in connection herewith.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a resolution
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of bondholders as
aforesaid (the instrument or instruments evidencing such consent to be dated
within one year of such request), the Trustee shall join with the Company in
the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental
indenture affects the Trustee&#146;s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but
shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">It shall not be necessary for the consent of the bondholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">The Company and the Trustee, if they so elect, and either before or
after such consent has been obtained, may require the holder of any bond
consenting to the execution of any such supplemental indenture to submit his
bond to the Trustee or to ask such bank, banker or trust company as may be
designated by the Trustee for the purpose, for the notation thereon of the
fact that the holder of such bond has consented to the execution of such
supplemental indenture, and in such case such notation, in form satisfactory
to the Trustee, shall be made upon all bonds so submitted, and such bonds
bearing such notation shall forthwith be returned to the persons entitled
thereto.


<P align="left" style="margin-left:8%; margin-right:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Prior to the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the
Company shall publish a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance
of such supplemental indenture, at least once in one daily newspaper of
general circulation in each city in which the principal of any of the bonds
shall be payable, or, if all bonds outstanding shall be registered bonds
without coupons or coupon bonds registered as to principal, such notice
shall be sufficiently given if mailed, first class, postage prepaid, and
registered if the Company so elects, to each registered holder of bonds at
the last address of such holder appearing on the registry books, such
publication or mailing, as the case may be, to be made not less than thirty
days prior to such execution. Any failure of the Company to give such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 7. As supplemented and amended as above set forth, the Indenture is in all respects
ratified and confirmed, and the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto shall be read,
taken and construed as one and the same instrument.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 8. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Indenture as hereby supplemented or the due
execution hereof by the Company or for or in respect of the recitals and statements contained
herein (other than those contained in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth recitals hereof), all of
which recitals and statements are made solely by the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 9. This Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts
and all such counterparts executed and delivered, each as an original, shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 10. In the event the date of any notice required or permitted hereunder shall not be a
Business Day (as defined below), then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or of
any supplemental indenture thereto) such notice need not be made on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date fixed for
such notice. &#147;Business Day&#148; means, with respect to this Section&nbsp;10, any day, other than a Saturday
or Sunday, on which banks generally are open in New York, New York for the conduct of substantially
all of their commercial lending activities and on which interbank wire transfers can be made on the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%">SECTION 11. This Supplemental Indenture and the IQ Notes shall be governed by and deemed to be
a contract under, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan, and for all
purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such state, except as may otherwise be
required by mandatory provisions of law.

<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt">$150,000,000 5.65% Insured Quarterly Notes due 2035<U> </U>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Ladies and Gentlemen:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">I am the Assistant General Counsel of CMS Energy Corporation, a Michigan corporation, of which
Consumers Energy Company, a Michigan corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), is a wholly owned indirect
subsidiary. I have acted as special counsel to the Company with respect to the issuance and sale
of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.65% Insured Quarterly Notes due 2035 (the &#147;IQ
Notes&#148;) issued under the Indenture dated as of September&nbsp;1, 1945 between the Company and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as Trustee, as amended by certain supplemental indentures thereto including the
102<sup>nd</sup> Supplemental Indenture dated as of April&nbsp;13, 2005 relating to the IQ Notes. The
Company issued and sold the IQ Notes pursuant to an effective shelf Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (No 333-120611) (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) and a Prospectus Supplement dated April&nbsp;7, 2005
to a Prospectus dated December&nbsp;1, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">In rendering the opinions expressed below, I, or attorneys acting under my supervision, have
examined originals, or copies of originals certified to my satisfaction, of such agreements,
documents, certificates and other statements of governmental officials and corporate officers and
such other papers and evidence, as I have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for such
opinions. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the
genuineness of all signatures, and the legal capacity of all natural persons and the conformity
with the original documents of any copies thereof submitted to me for examination. I have further
assumed without investigation that each document submitted to me for review and relied upon for
this opinion is accurate and complete as of the date given to the date hereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">On the basis of such review, I am of the opinion that the IQ Notes have been legally issued by
the Company and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors&#146; rights generally
or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding
at law or in equity).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company&#146;s Current Report
on Form 8-K filed on April&nbsp;13, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Very truly yours,


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">/s/ Robert C. Shrosbree
