        4.2 The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Agent and the Banks
have fully performed all of their obligations under the Credit Agreement and all
documents executed in connection with the Credit Agreement and all actions taken
by the Agent or any of the Banks are reasonable and appropriate under the

documents executed in connection therewith and otherwise available. The Loan
Parties represent and warrant that they have no claims or causes of action
against the Agent or any of the Banks.

        4.3 If any of the Loan Parties shall fail to perform or observe any

and their employees, agents, executors, heirs, successors and assigns, do hereby
release the Agent, the Banks, and their respective predecessors, officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors

        4.5 The Loan Parties agree to pay and save the Agent and the Banks
harmless from liability for the payment of all costs and expenses arising in
connection with this Amendment, including the fees and expenses of Dickinson
Wright PLLC, counsel to the Agent, in connection with the preparation and review
of this Amendment and any related documents.

        4.6 The Agent, the Banks and the Loan Parties, after consulting or
having had the opportunity to consult with counsel, knowingly, voluntarily and
intentionally waive any right any of them may have to a trial by jury in any
litigation based upon or arising out of the Loan Documents, this Amendment or
any related instrument or agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by
this Amendment or any conduct, dealing, statements (whether oral or written) or
actions of any of them. None of the parties hereto shall seek to consolidate, by
counterclaim or otherwise, any such action in which a jury trial has been waived
with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived.
These provisions shall not be deemed to have been modified in any respect or
relinquished by any party hereto except by a written instrument executed by such
party.

        4.7 THE LOAN PARTIES WAIVE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW,
ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER FROM THE AGENT OR THE BANKS
IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Loan Parties, the Agent and the Banks and their respective successors and
permitted assigns (provided that the Loan Parties shall not be permitted, absent
the prior written consent of the Agent, to assign any of their rights or
obligations under this Amendment). No other person or entity shall have any
rights whatsoever under this Amendment. Time shall be of the strictest essence
in the performance of each and every one of the Loan Parties’ obligations
hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, this Amendment shall not be

hereof shall be executed by the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Banks, and
delivered to the Agent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        4.9 The Loan Documents, as modified and amended by this Amendment,
constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may only be modified or amended by a further writing signed by
the party to be charged. If any of the provisions of this Amendment are in
conflict with any applicable statute or rule of law or otherwise unenforceable,
such offending provisions shall be null and void only to the extent of such
conflict or unenforceability, but shall be deemed separate from and shall not
invalidate any other provision of this Amendment. Terms used but not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan
Documents.

        4.10 There are no promises or inducements which have been made to any
signatory hereto to cause such signatory to enter into this Amendment other than
those which are set forth in this Amendment. The Loan Parties acknowledge that
they, or their authorized officers have thoroughly read and reviewed the terms
and provisions of this Amendment and are familiar with same, that the terms and
provisions contained herein are clearly understood by the Loan Parties and have
been fully and unconditionally consented to by the Loan Parties and that the
Loan Parties have had full benefit and advice of counsel of their own selection,
or the opportunity to obtain the benefit and advice of counsel of their own
selection, in regard to understanding the terms, meaning and effect of this
Amendment, and that this Amendment has been entered into by the Loan Parties
freely, voluntarily, with full knowledge, and without duress, and that in
executing this Amendment, the Loan Parties are relying on no other
representations, either written or oral, express or implied, made to the Loan
Parties by any other party hereto, and that the consideration hereunder received
by the Loan Parties has been actual and adequate.

        4.11 This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Michigan, without giving effect to conflicts of
law principles of such State.
