person previously authorized (in a writing delivered to the Agent) by the Company to make such requests and, in the event Agent, acting on behalf of the Banks, makes any such Advance upon a telephone request, the requesting officer shall fax to
Agent, on the same day as such telephone request, a Request for Advance. The Company hereby authorizes Agent to disburse Advances under this Section 2.3 pursuant to the telephone instructions of any person purporting to be a person identified
by name on a written list of persons authorized by the Company and delivered to Agent prior to the date of such request to make Requests for Advance on behalf of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Company
shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone request. Each telephone request for an Advance shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Request for Revolving Credit Advance form as of the date
of such requested Advance. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company may select as the Applicable Interest Rate only the
Prime-based Rate until such time as the Agent notifies Company in writing that it may select the Eurodollar-based Rate as the Applicable Interest Rate. 
 2.4 Disbursement of Advances. 
  

	 	(a)	Upon receiving any Request for Revolving Credit Advance from the Company under Section 2.3 hereof, Agent shall promptly notify each Bank by wire, telex or telephone (confirmed
by wire, telecopy or telex) of the amount of such Advance to be made and the date such Advance is to be made by said Bank pursuant to its Percentage of such Advance. Unless such Bank’s commitment to make Advances of the Revolving Credit
hereunder shall have been suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each such Bank shall make available the amount of its Percentage of each Advance in immediately available funds to Agent, as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	for Domestic Advances, at the office of Agent located at One Detroit Center, Detroit, Michigan 48226, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance; and


  

 23 









	 	(ii)	for Eurocurrency-based Advances, at the Agent’s Correspondent for the account of the Eurocurrency Lending Office of the Agent, not later than 12 noon (the time of the
Agent’s Correspondent) on the date of such Advance. 

  

	 	(b)	Subject to submission of an executed Request for Revolving Credit Advance by the Company without exceptions noted in the compliance certification therein, Agent shall make available
to the Company, the aggregate of the amounts so received by it from the Banks in like funds and currencies: 

  

	 	(i)	for Domestic Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance by credit to an account of Company maintained with Agent or to such other account or third
party as Company may reasonably direct; and 

  

	 	(ii)	for Eurocurrency-based Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (the time of the Agent’s Correspondent) on the date of such Advance, by credit to an account of the Company maintained
with Agent’s Correspondent or to such other account or third party as the Company may reasonably direct. 

  

	 	(c)	Agent shall deliver the documents and papers received by it for the account of each Bank to such Bank or upon its order. Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to
the date of any proposed Revolving Credit Advance that such Bank does not intend to make available to Agent such Bank’s Percentage of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to Agent on such date, as
aforesaid and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Bank, as aforesaid, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Bank. If such Bank does not pay such amount forthwith upon Agent’s demand therefor and the Agent has in fact made a corresponding amount available to the Company, the Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Company shall pay
such amount to Agent, if such notice is delivered to the Company prior to 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on a Business Day, on the day such notice is received, and otherwise on the next Business Day. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Bank
or the Company, as the case may be, but without duplication, interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Agent to the Company, to the date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to: 

  

	 	(i)	 in the case of such Bank, for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, with respect to Domestic Advances, the Federal Funds Effective Rate,
and with respect to Eurocurrency-based Advances, Agent’s 



  

 24 









	 	 
aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other
costs or expenses incurred by Agent as a result of such failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount and thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit Advances; and 


  

	 	(ii)	in the case of Company, the rate of interest then applicable to such Advance of the Revolving Credit. 

 The obligation of any Bank to make any Advance of the Revolving Credit hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Bank to make any
Advance hereunder, and no Bank shall have any liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Bank, or any other party for another Bank’s failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder. In the event any Bank shall fail
to advance any amounts required to be advanced in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 (a “Defaulting Bank”), the Agent shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company and to each other Bank (each such other Bank being
referred to in this Section as a “Non-Defaulting Bank”). Each Non-Defaulting Bank shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of said notice to exercise its option to agree to enter into an agreement pursuant to which the
Non-Defaulting Bank shall assume the Defaulting Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, its Notes and the other Loan Documents. The Non-Defaulting Bank shall exercise such option by providing written notice of same to the Defaulting
Bank (and if there is more than one Non-Defaulting Bank, the assignment agreement shall be entered into with the Non-Defaulting Bank who first notifies the Defaulting Bank of its decision to exercise said option) and to the Company. If no
Non-Defaulting Bank shall exercise the above-described option within the said ten (10) Business Day period and if the Company shall, subject to Section 13.8(c) hereof, within sixty (60) days of delivering the notice described above,
advise such Defaulting Bank of another bank or financial institution to which assignments are permitted pursuant to Section 13.8(c) hereof and which is willing to assume such Defaulting Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
its Notes and the other Loan Documents (each such bank or financial institution being hereinafter referred to as a “Potential Financial Institution”), such Defaulting Bank shall, subject to Section 13.8(c), assign its said rights and
obligations to the Potential Financial Institution; provided however that any such assignment shall not alter the Company’s remedies vis a vis the Defaulting Bank. 
 2.5 Swing Line Advances. The Swing Line Bank shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth (including without limitation Section 2.5(c) hereof), make one or more advances (each
such advance being a “Swing Line Advance”) to the Company, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof to (but excluding) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate at
any time outstanding the Swing Line Maximum Amount. Swing Line Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Company to Swing Line Bank resulting from each Swing Line Advance of such
Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such Bank from time to time. The entries made in such account or accounts of Swing Line Bank shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of 

  

 25 








 
the obligations of the Company therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Swing Line Bank to maintain such account, as applicable, or any error
therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Swing Line Advances (and all other amounts owing with respect thereto) made to Company by Swing Line Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Advances,
repayments and readvances under the Swing Line may be made, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Swing Line Advance shall mature and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable by the Company in the case of any
Quoted Rate Advance, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (if any) and, in the case of any Prime-based Advance, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall not be operative while there is
only one (1) Bank. 
 The Company agrees that, upon the written request of Swing Line Bank, the Company will execute and deliver to
Swing Line Bank a Swing Line Note; provided, that the delivery of such Swing Line Note shall not be a condition precedent to the Effective Date. 
  

	 	(a)	Accrual of Interest. Each Swing Line Advance shall, from time to time after the date of such Advance, bear interest at its Applicable Interest Rate. The amount and date of
each Swing Line Advance, its Applicable Interest Rate, its Interest Period, if any, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Swing Line Bank’s account maintained pursuant to Section 2.5(a), which records will be
conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, that any failure by the Swing Line Bank to record any such information shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount of such Advance,
all interest accrued thereon and any amount payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	Requests for Swing Line Advances. The Company may request a Swing Line Advance only after the delivery to Swing Line Bank of a Request for Swing Line Advance executed by a
person authorized (in a writing a copy of which has been previously delivered to the Agent) by the Company to make such requests, subject to the following: 

  

	 	(i)	each such Request for Swing Line Advance shall set forth the information required on the Request for Advance form annexed hereto as Exhibit D, including without limitation:


  

	 	(A)	the proposed date of such Swing Line Advance, which must be a Business Day; 

  

	 	(B)	whether such Swing Line Advance is to be a Prime-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance; and 

  

	 	(C)	in the case of a Quoted Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  

	 	(ii)	 on the proposed date of such Swing Line Advance, after giving effect to all Swing Line Advances requested by the Company on such date of 



  

 26

	 	(iii)	on the proposed date of such Swing Line Advance, after giving effect to all Advances and Letters of Credit requested by the Company on such date (including, without duplication,
deemed Advances made under Section 3.6(a) hereof in respect of the Company’s or an applicable Account Party’s reimbursement obligation hereunder) of determination, the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances of
the Revolving Credit and of the Swing Line requested or outstanding on such date plus (y) the Letter of Credit Obligations on such date shall not exceed the lesser of then applicable (i) Borrowing Base and (ii) Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment and the Credit Extensions and the aggregate amount of all extensions of credit by Comerica Bank to Tecstar Manufacturing Canada Ltd under the Canada Agreement shall not exceed the then applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment; 

  

	 	(iv)	in the case of a Swing Line Advance that is a Prime-based Advance, the principal amount of the initial funding of such Advance, as opposed to any refunding or conversion thereof,
shall be at least Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or such lesser amount as agreed to by Agent from time to time. 

  

	 	(v)	in the case of a Swing Line Advance that is a Quoted Rate Advance, the principal amount of such Advance plus any other outstanding Advances of the Swing Line to be then combined
therewith having the same Applicable Interest Rate and Interest Period, if any, shall be at least Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (or a larger integral multiple of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) or such lesser amount as agreed to by Agent from time
to time, and at any one time there shall not be in effect more than 2 Applicable Interest Rates and Interest Periods; 

  

	 	(vi)	each such Request for Swing Line Advance shall be delivered to the Swing Line Bank by 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the proposed date of the Advance; 

  

	 	(vii)	each Request for Swing Line Advance, once delivered to Swing Line Bank, shall be irrevocable by the Company, and shall constitute and include a certification by the Company as of
the date thereof that: 

  

	 	(A)	both before and after making such Swing Line Advance, the obligations of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are valid, binding and
enforceable obligations of such Loan Parties; 

  

	 	(B)	all conditions to the making of Swing Line Advances have been satisfied (both before and after giving effect to such Advance); 

  

 27 









	 	(C)	both before and after giving effect to such Swing Line Advance, there is no Default or Event of Default in existence; and 

  

	 	(D)	both before and after giving effect to such Swing Line Advance, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in
all material respects, other than any representation or warranty that expressly speaks only as of a different date. 

 Swing
Line Bank, may, at its option, lend under this Section 2.5(c) upon the telephone request of an authorized officer of Company and, in the event Swing Line Bank makes any such Advance upon a telephone request, the requesting officer shall, if so
requested by Swing Line Bank, fax to Swing Line Bank, on the same day as such telephone request, a Request for Swing Line Advance. Company hereby authorizes Swing Line Bank to disburse Advances under this Section 2.5(c) pursuant to the
telephone instructions of any person purporting to be a person identified by name on a written list of persons authorized by the Company to make Requests for Advance on behalf of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges
that Company shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone request. Each telephone request for an Advance shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Request for Swing Line Advance form as of
the date of such requested Advance. Swing Line Bank shall promptly deliver to Agent by telecopy a copy of any Request for Advance received hereunder. 
  

	 	(c)	Disbursement of Swing Line Advances. Subject to submission of an executed Request for Swing Line Advance by the Company without exceptions noted in the compliance
certification therein, Swing Line Bank shall make available to the Company the amount so requested, in like funds and currencies, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance by credit to an account of the Company maintained
with Agent or to such other account or third party as the Company may reasonably direct in writing. 

 Swing Line Bank shall promptly notify
Agent of any Swing Line Advance by telephone, telex or telecopier. 
  

	 	(d)	Refunding of or Participation Interest in Swing Line Advances. 

  

	 	(i)	 The Agent, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may, in each case on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably directs the Agent to act on its
behalf) request each of the Banks (including the Swing Line Bank in its capacity as a Bank) to make an Advance of the Revolving Credit to the Company, in an amount equal to such Bank’s Percentage of the principal amount of the aggregate Swing
Line Advances outstanding on the date such notice is given (the “Refunded Swing Line Advances”); provided however that Swing Line Advances which are carried at the Quoted Rate which are converted to Revolving Credit Advances at the request
of the Agent at a time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall not be subject to Section 11.1 and no 



  

 28 









	 	 
losses, costs or expenses may be assessed by the Swing Line Bank against the Company or the Banks as a consequence of such conversion. In the case of each
Refunded Swing Line Advance the applicable Advance of the Revolving Credit used to refund such Swing Line Advance shall be a Prime-based Advance. In connection with the making of any such Refunded Swing Line Advances or the purchase of a
participation interest in Swing Line Advances under Section 2.5(e)(ii) hereof, the Swing Line Bank shall retain its claim against the Company for any unpaid interest or fees in respect thereof accrued to the date of such refunding. Unless any
of the events described in Section 9.1(j) hereof shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of subparagraph (ii) of this Section 2.5(e) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to
the making of an Advance of the Revolving Credit are then satisfied but subject to Section 2.5(e)(iii), each Bank shall make the proceeds of its Advance of the Revolving Credit available to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Line Bank at
the office of the Agent specified in Section 2.4(a) hereof prior to 11:00 a.m. Detroit time (for Domestic Advances) on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given, in immediately available funds. The proceeds of such Advances
of the Revolving Credit shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Advances in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 hereof. 


  

	 	(ii)	If, prior to the making of an Advance of the Revolving Credit pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this Section 2.5(e), one of the events described in Section 9.1(j)
hereof shall have occurred, each Bank will, on the date such Advance of the Revolving Credit was to have been made, purchase from the Swing Line Bank an undivided participating interest in each Swing Line Advance that was to have been refunded in an
amount equal to its Percentage of such Swing Line Advance. Each Bank within the time periods specified in Section 2.5(e)(i) hereof, as applicable, shall immediately transfer to the Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its
participation and upon receipt thereof the Agent will deliver to such Bank a Swing Line Participation Certificate in the form of Exhibit E evidencing such participation. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Each Bank’s obligation to make Advances of the Revolving Credit and to purchase participation interests in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of
this Section 2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against Swing
Line Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any other
Person; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Company or any other Person; (v) any inability of the Company to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this 



  

 29 









	 	 
Agreement on the date upon which such Advance is to be made or such participating interest is to be purchased; (vi) the termination of the Revolving
Credit Aggregate Commitment hereunder; or (vii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Bank does not make available to the Agent the amount required pursuant to clause
(i) or (ii) above, as the case may be, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full (x) for the
first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Swing Line Advances. The obligation of any Bank to make available its pro rata
portion of the amounts required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall not be affected by the failure of any other Bank to make such amounts available, and no Bank shall have any liability to the Company and its Subsidiaries, the
Agent, the Swing Line Bank, or any other Bank or any other party for another Bank’s failure to make the amounts required under clause (i) or (ii) available. 


 2.6 Prime-based Interest Payments. Interest on the unpaid balance of all Prime-based Advances of the Revolving Credit and all Swing Line Advances
carried at the Prime-based Rate from time to time outstanding shall accrue from the date of such Advance to the date repaid, at a per annum interest rate equal to the Prime-based Rate, and shall be payable in immediately available funds commencing
on the first day of the month next succeeding the month during which the initial Advance of the Revolving Credit or Swing Line Advance, as the case may be, is made and on the first day of each month thereafter. Interest accruing at the Prime-based
Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation effect shall be given to any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Prime-based Rate on the date of
such change in the Prime-based Rate. 
 2.7 Eurocurrency-based Interest Payments and Quoted Rate Interest Payments. 
  

	 	(a)	Interest on each Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Revolving Credit shall accrue at its Eurocurrency-based Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Interest accruing at the Eurocurrency-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto to but not including the last day thereof. 

  

	 	(b)	Interest on each Quoted Rate Advance of the Swing Line shall accrue at its Quoted Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto. Interest accruing at the Quoted Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to, but not including the last
day thereof. 

  

 30 








 2.8 Interest Payments on Conversions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding
sections, all accrued and unpaid interest on any Advance refunded or converted pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.5(e) hereof (except for refundings or conversions of Prime-based Advances) shall be due and payable in full on the date such Advance is
refunded or converted. 
 2.9 Interest on Default. In the event and so long as any Event of Default shall exist, in the case of any
Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(j), immediately upon the occurrence thereof, and in the case of all other Events of Default, upon notice from the Majority Banks, interest shall be payable on demand on all Eurocurrency-based Advances of
the Revolving Credit and Quoted Rate Advances from time to time outstanding (and, to the extent delinquent, on all other monetary obligations of Company hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable
Interest Rate in respect of each such Advance plus, in the case of Eurocurrency-based Advances, three percent (3%) for the remainder of the then existing Interest Period, if any, and at all other such times and for all Prime-based Advances from
time to time outstanding, at a per annum rate equal to the Prime-based Rate plus three percent (3%). 
 2.10 Optional Prepayments.
(a) Except as provided in Section 2.10(b) hereof, the Company may prepay all or part of the outstanding principal of any Prime-based Advance(s) of the Revolving Credit at any time. Subject to Section 11.1 hereof and to the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Company may prepay all or part of any Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Revolving Credit (subject to not less than one (1) Business Day’s notice to Agent) provided that the amount of any such partial
prepayment shall be at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), and after giving effect to any such partial prepayment, the unpaid portion of such Advance which is refunded or converted under Section 2.3 hereof shall be at least One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000). 
  

	 	(b)	The Company may prepay all or part of the outstanding principal of any Swing Line Advance carried at the Prime-based Rate at any time. 

  

	 	(c)	The Company may prepay at any time all or part of the outstanding principal of any Swing Line Advance carried at the Quoted Rate (subject to not less than one (1) day’s
notice to the Swing Line Bank) provided that the amount of such prepayment shall be at least Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) and, after giving effect to any such partial prepayment, the aggregate unpaid portion of such Swing Line Advance shall be at
least Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). 

  

	 	(d)	Any prepayment of a Prime-based Advance made in accordance with this Section shall be without premium or penalty and any prepayment of any other type of Advance shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 11.1. 

 2.11 Prime-based Advance in Absence of Election or Upon Default. If, (a) as
to any outstanding Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Revolving Credit, Agent has not received payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or does not receive a timely Request
for Advance meeting the requirements of Section 2.3 or 2.5(c) hereof with respect to the refunding or conversion of such Advance, or (b) subject to Section 2.9 hereof, if on the last day of the applicable Interest Period a Default or
an 

  

 31 








 
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period the principal amount of any
Eurocurrency-based Advance which has not been prepaid shall, absent a contrary election of the Majority Banks, be converted automatically to a Prime-based Advance and the Agent shall thereafter promptly notify the Company of said action. 

2.12 Revolving Credit Commitment Fee. From the Effective Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Agent for
distribution to the Banks pro-rata in accordance with their respective Percentages, a Revolving Credit Commitment Fee quarterly in arrears commencing July 1, 2006 (in respect of the prior calendar quarter or portion thereof), and on the first
day of each calendar quarter thereafter. The Revolving Credit Commitment Fee payable to each Bank shall be determined by multiplying three sixteenths of one percent (3/16%) times the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment then in effect (in determining the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, Letters of Credit shall be considered usage of the Revolving Credit and Swing Line Advances shall not be considered usage of the Revolving
Credit). The Revolving Credit Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee shall be due
on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day. Upon receipt of such payment, Agent shall make prompt payment to each Bank of its share of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee based upon
its respective Percentage. It is expressly understood that the Revolving Credit Commitment Fees described in this Section are not refundable under any circumstances. 
 2.13 Mandatory Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances. (a) If at any time and for any reason the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances plus Swing Line Advances hereunder to
the Company, plus the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, shall exceed the then lesser of the then (i) Borrowing Base and (ii) applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment or if at any time the Credit Extensions plus the
aggregate amount of the extensions of credit under the Canada Agreement exceed the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, the Company shall immediately reduce any pending request for a Revolving Credit Advance on such day by the amount of such
excess and, to the extent any excess remains thereafter, immediately repay an amount of the Indebtedness equal to such excess and, to the extent such Indebtedness consists of Letter of Credit Obligations, provide cash collateral on the basis set
forth in Section 9.2 hereof. The Company acknowledges that, in connection with any repayment required hereunder, it shall also be responsible for the reimbursement of any prepayment or other costs required under Section 11.1 hereof;
provided, however, that the Company shall, in order to reduce any such prepayment costs and expenses, first prepay such portion of the Indebtedness then carried as a Prime-based Advance, if any; 
  

	 	(b)	 To the extent that, on the date any mandatory repayment of the Revolving Credit Advances under this Section 2.13 or payment pursuant to the terms of any of the
Collateral Documents is due, the Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit or any other Indebtedness to be prepaid is being carried, in whole or in part, at the Eurocurrency-based Rate and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Company may deposit the amount of such mandatory prepayment in a cash collateral account to be held by the Agent, for and on behalf of the Banks (which shall be an interest-bearing account), on such terms and conditions 



  

 32 









	 	 
as are reasonably acceptable to Agent and upon such deposit the obligation of the Company to make such mandatory prepayment shall be deemed satisfied.
Subject to the terms and conditions of said cash collateral account, sums on deposit in said cash collateral account shall be applied (until exhausted) to reduce the principal balance of the Revolving Credit on the last day of each Interest Period
attributable to the Eurocurrency-based Advances of such Revolving Advance, thereby avoiding breakage costs under Section 11.1 hereof. 


 2.14 Optional Reduction or Termination of Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. The Company may upon at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, permanently reduce the Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, provided that: (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount equal to Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) or a larger integral multiple of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); (ii) each reduction shall be accompanied by the payment of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee accrued to the date of such reduction; (iii) the
Company shall prepay in accordance with the terms hereof the amount, if any, by which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Advances (including, without duplication, any deemed Advances made under Section 3.6 hereof) outstanding hereunder,
plus the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, exceeds the amount of the then applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment as so reduced, together with interest thereon to the date of prepayment; (iv) no
reduction shall reduce the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment to an amount which is less than the aggregate undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit outstanding at such time; and (v) no such reduction shall reduce the Swing Line Commitment
unless the Company so elects; provided, however that if the termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment requires the prepayment of a Eurocurrency-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance and such termination or reduction is
made on a day other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency-based Advance or such Quoted Rate Advance, then, pursuant to Section 11.1, the Company shall compensate the Banks for any losses
described in Section 11.1 or, the Company may deposit the amount of such prepayment in a collateral account as provided in Section 2.13(b). Reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and any accompanying prepayments of
Advances of the Revolving Credit shall be distributed by Agent to each Bank in accordance with such Bank’s Percentage thereof, and will not be available for reinstatement by or readvance to the Company, and any accompanying prepayments of
Advances of the Swing Line shall be distributed by Agent to the Swing Line Bank and will not be available for reinstatement by or readvance to the Company. Any reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment hereunder shall reduce each
Bank’s portion thereof proportionately (based on the applicable Percentages), and shall be permanent and irrevocable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to outstanding Prime-based Advances under the Revolving
Credit, next to Swing Line Advances carried at the Prime-based Rate, next to Eurocurrency-based Advances of the Revolving Credit and then to Swing Line Advances carried at the Quoted Rate. 
 2.15 Use of Proceeds of Advances. Advances of the Revolving Credit (including Swing Line Advances) shall be available for the working capital
needs and general corporate purposes of Company and its Subsidiaries who are Domestic Guarantors.

	 	3.	LETTERS OF CREDIT 

 3.1 Letters of Credit.

The Company shall pay to the Agent for distribution to the Banks in accordance with their Percentages, Letter of Credit Fees as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	A per annum letter of credit fee of the L/C Commission Rate per annum with respect to the undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto (based on the amount of each
Letter of Credit). 

  

	 	(b)	At any time there are two (2) or more Banks, a letter of credit facing fee in the amount equal to the greater of (i) $250 or (ii) one quarter of one percent (.25%) on
the face amount of each Letter of Credit to be retained by Issuing Bank for its own account. 

  

	 	(c)	If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, adopted
after the date hereof, shall either (i) impose, modify or cause to be deemed applicable any reserve, special deposit, limitation or similar requirement against letters of credit issued or participated in by, or assets held by, or deposits in or
for the account of, Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Bank or (ii) impose on Issuing Bank or any Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement, the Letters of Credit or any participations in such Letters of Credit, and the result of any
event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be to increase the cost or expense to Issuing Bank or such Bank of issuing or maintaining or participating in any of the Letters of Credit (which increase in cost or expense shall be
determined by the Issuing Bank’s or such Bank’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases and expenses resulting from such events), then, upon demand by the Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, the applicable
Account Party shall, within thirty (30) days following demand for payment, pay to Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank or such Bank, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to
compensate the Issuing Bank or such Bank for such increased cost and expense, together with interest on each such amount from ten days after the date such payment is due until payment in full thereof at the Prime-based Rate. Each demand for payment
under this Section 3.4(c), shall be accompanied by a certificate of Issuing Bank or the applicable Bank (as applicable) setting forth the amount of such increased cost or expense incurred by the Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, as
a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, and in reasonable detail, the methodology for calculating and the calculation of such amount, which certificate shall be prepared in good faith and shall be conclusive evidence,
absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof. 

  

	 	(d)	 All payments by the Company to the Agent for distribution to the Issuing Bank or the Banks under this Section 3.4 shall be made in Dollars in immediately




  

 36 









	 	 
available funds at the Issuing Office or such other office of the Agent as may be designated from time to time by written notice to the Company by the Agent.
The fees described in clauses (a) and (b) above shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances and shall be payable upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit and thereafter annually in advance. The fees due under clause (a) above
shall be determined by multiplying the Applicable Fee Percentage times the undrawn amount of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit on the date of determination, and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the
actual number of days from the date of the issuance thereof to the stated expiration thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that any amendment or extension to a Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be treated as a new Letter of Credit for the
purposes of the letter of credit facing fee. 


 3.5 Other Fees. In connection with the Letters of Credit, and in
addition to the Letter of Credit Fees, the Company and the applicable Account Party(ies) shall pay, for the sole account of the Issuing Bank, standard documentation, administration, payment and cancellation charges assessed by Issuing Bank or the
Issuing Office, at the times, in the amounts and on the terms set forth or to be set forth from time to time in the standard fee schedule of the Issuing Office in effect from time to time and delivered to the relevant Account Party(ies). 

3.6 Drawings and Demands for Payment Under Letters of Credit. 
  

	 	(a)	If the Issuing Bank shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, the Company and each applicable Account Party agree to pay to the
Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit and all expenses paid or incurred by the Agent relative thereto not later than 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time), on
(i) the Business Day that the Company receives notice of such presentment and honor, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m. (Detroit time) or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that Company receives such notice, if
such notice is not received prior to such time. Unless the Company or the applicable Account Party shall have made such payment to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such day, upon each such payment by the Issuing Bank, the Agent shall
be deemed to have disbursed to the Company, and the Company shall be deemed to have elected to substitute for the reimbursement obligation, with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, a Prime-based Advance of the
Revolving Credit for the account of the Banks in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit. Such Prime-based Advance shall be deemed disbursed notwithstanding any
failure to satisfy any conditions for disbursement of any Advance set forth in Section 2 hereof and, to the extent of the Advances so disbursed, the reimbursement obligation of the Company or the applicable Account Party under this
Section 3.6 shall be deemed satisfied. 

  

	 	(b)	 If the Issuing Bank shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall provide notice thereof to




  

 37 









	 	 
the Company and the applicable Account Party on the date such draft or demand is honored, and to each Bank on such date unless the Company or applicable
Account Party shall have satisfied its reimbursement obligation under Section 3.6(a) hereof by payment to the Agent on such date. The Issuing Bank shall further use reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Company or applicable Account Party
prior to honoring any such draft or other demand for payment, but such notice, or the failure to provide such notice, shall not, subject to Section 3.6(a), affect the rights or obligations of the Issuing Bank with respect to any Letter of
Credit or the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, including without limitation the obligations of the Company or applicable Account Party under Section 3.6(a) hereof. 


  

	 	(c)	Upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of each Letter of Credit hereunder, each Bank shall automatically acquire a pro rata participation interest in such Letter of Credit and each
related Letter of Credit Payment based on its respective Percentage. Each Bank, on the date a draft or demand under any Letter of Credit is honored (or the next succeeding Business Day if the notice required to be given by Agent to the Banks under
Section 3.6(b) hereof is not given to the Banks prior to 2:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on such date of draft or demand), shall make its Percentage of the amount paid by the Issuing Bank, and not reimbursed by the Company or applicable Account Party
on such day, in immediately available funds at the principal office of the Agent for the account of Issuing Bank. If and to the extent such Bank shall not have made such pro rata portion available to the Agent, such Bank, the Company and the
applicable Account Party severally agree to pay to the Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was paid by the Issuing Bank until such amount is so made available to the
Agent at a per annum rate equal to the interest rate applicable during such period to the related Advance deemed to have been disbursed under Section 3.6(a) in respect of the reimbursement obligation of the Company and the applicable Account
Party, as set forth in Section 2.4(c)(i) or 2.4(c)(ii) hereof, as the case may be. If such Bank shall pay such amount to the Agent for the account of Issuing Bank together with such interest, if any, such amount so paid shall be deemed to
constitute an Advance by such Bank disbursed in respect of the reimbursement obligation of the Company or applicable Account Party under Section 3.6(a) hereof for purposes of this Agreement, effective as of the dates applicable under said
Section 3.6(a). The failure of any Bank to make its pro rata portion of any such amount paid by the Issuing Bank available to the Agent for the account of Issuing Bank shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make available its pro
rata portion of such amount, but no Bank shall be responsible for failure of any other Bank to make such pro rata portion available to the Agent for the account of Issuing Bank. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing however no Bank shall be deemed to have acquired a participation in a Letter of Credit if, prior to the issuing of the
Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank, the Agent or the Issuing Bank had obtained actual knowledge that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing; provided, however that the Banks shall be deemed to have acquired such a participation


  

 38 








 
upon the date of which such Event of Default has been waived by the requisite Banks, as applicable. 
  

	 	(d)	Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require or authorize any Bank to issue any Letter of Credit, it being recognized that the Issuing Bank shall be the sole issuer of
Letters of Credit under this Agreement. 

 3.7 Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of the Company and any Account
Party to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank or the Banks with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations under Section 3.6 hereof, shall be unconditional and irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception
whatsoever, including, without limitation: 
  

	 	(a)	Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any documentation relating to any Letter of Credit or to any transaction related in any way to any Letter of Credit
(the “Letter of Credit Documents”); 

  

	 	(b)	Any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, or any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any interest in collateral or security, with


  

	 	(c)	The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Company or any Account Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of
Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank or any other person or entity, whether in connection with any of the Letter of Credit Documents, the
transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transactions; 

  

	 	(d)	Any draft or other statement or document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

  

	 	(e)	Payment by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including
failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; 

  

	 	(f)	Any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Agent, Issuing Bank or any Bank or any party to any of the Letter of Credit Documents to enforce, assert or exercise any
right, power or remedy conferred upon the Agent, Issuing Bank, any Bank or any such party under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Letter of Credit Documents, or any other acts or omissions on the part of the Agent,
Issuing Bank, any Bank or any such party; or 

  

	 	(g)	Any other event or circumstance that would, in the absence of this Section 3.7, result in the release or discharge by operation of law or otherwise of the Company or any
Account Party from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in Section 3.6 hereof. 

  

 39 








 No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any defense of any kind or nature
which the Company or any Account Party has or may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit shall be available hereunder to the Company or any Account Party against the Agent, Issuing Bank or any Bank. Nothing contained in this
Section 3.7 shall be deemed a waiver of any claim or to prevent Company or the Account Parties, after satisfaction in full of the absolute and unconditional obligations of Company and the Account Parties hereunder, from asserting in a separate
action any claim, defense, set off or other right which they (or any of them) may have against Agent or any Bank. 
 3.8 Risk Under
Letters of Credit. (a) In the administration and handling of Letters of Credit and any security therefor, or any documents or instruments given in connection therewith, Issuing Bank shall have the sole right to take or refrain from taking
any and all actions under or upon the Letters of Credit. 
  

	 	(b)	Subject to other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Issuing Bank shall issue the Letters of Credit and shall hold the documents related thereto in its own name and shall make
all collections thereunder and otherwise administer the Letters of Credit in accordance with Issuing Bank’s regularly established practices and procedures and will have no further obligation with respect thereto. In the administration of
Letters of Credit, Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted on the advice of counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts selected by Issuing Bank with due care and Issuing Bank may rely upon any notice, communication,
certificate or other statement from the Company, any Account Party, beneficiaries of Letters of Credit, or any other Person which Issuing Bank believes to be authentic. Issuing Bank will, upon request, furnish the Banks with copies of Letter of
Credit Documents related thereto. 

  

	 	(c)	In connection with the issuance and administration of Letters of Credit and the assignments hereunder, Issuing Bank makes no representation and shall have no responsibility with
respect to (i) the obligations of the Company or any Account Party or the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any document or instrument given in connection therewith, or the taking of any action with respect to same, (ii) the
financial condition of, any representations made by, or any act or omission of, the Company, the applicable Account Party or any other Person, or (iii) any failure or delay in exercising any rights or powers possessed by Issuing Bank in its
capacity as issuer of Letters of Credit in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Banks expressly acknowledges that it has made and will continue to make its own evaluations of the Company’s and the Account
Parties’ creditworthiness without reliance on any representation of Issuing Bank or Issuing Bank’s officers, agents and employees. 

  

	 	(d)	 If at any time Issuing Bank shall recover any part of any unreimbursed amount for any draw or other demand for payment under a Letter of Credit, or any interest
thereon, Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall receive same for the pro rata benefit of the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages and shall promptly deliver to each Bank its share thereof, less such Bank’s pro rata
share of 



  

 40 









	 	 
the costs of such recovery, including court costs and attorney’s fees. If at any time any Bank shall receive from any source whatsoever any payment on
any such unreimbursed amount or interest thereon in excess of such Bank’s Percentage of such payment, such Bank will promptly pay over such excess to Agent, for redistribution in accordance with this Agreement. 


 3.9 Indemnification. The Company and each Account Party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Banks, the Issuing Bank and the Agent,
and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “L/C Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which the Banks, the
Issuing Bank or the Agent or any such L/C Indemnified Person may incur or which may be claimed against any of them by reason of or in connection with any Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Indemnified Amounts”), and none of the

fraudulent or forged; 

  

	 	(c)	payment by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit
(unless such payment resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank), including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; 

  

	 	(d)	any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit; or


  

	 	(e)	any other event or circumstance whatsoever arising in connection with any Letter of Credit; 

 provided, however, that with respect to subparagraphs (a) through (e) hereof, (i) neither the Company nor any of the Account Parties shall be required to indemnify any L/C Indemnified Person for any L/C
Indemnified Amounts to the extent such amounts result from such L/C Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) the Agent and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Company and the Account Parties to the extent,

Bank’s wrongful dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of
Credit. 
  

 41 









	 	(f)	It is understood that in making any payment under a Letter of Credit the Issuing Bank will rely on documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters

judgments, suits, costs, fees, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
(including Section 3.6(c) hereof), any Letter of Credit, any documentation or any transaction relating thereto, or any Letter of Credit Agreement, to the extent not reimbursed by the Company or any Account Party, except to the extent that such
liabilities, losses, costs or expenses were incurred by Issuing Bank as a result of Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or by the Issuing Bank’s wrongful dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by
the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

exercise of their rights by Agent or the Banks. No waiver of any Event of Default shall extend to any other or further Event of Default. No forbearance on the part of the Agent or the Banks in enforcing any of their rights shall constitute a waiver
of any of their rights. Company expressly agrees that this Section may be waived or modified only in accordance with Section 13.10 and may not be waived or modified by the Banks or Agent by course of performance, estoppel or otherwise.

  

 65 








 9.6 Set Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank may
at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Company but subject to the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof (any requirement for such notice being expressly waived by the Company), setoff and apply against any and all of the
obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether owing to such Bank, any Affiliate of such Bank or any other Bank or the Agent, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any
time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank to or for the credit or the account of Company and any property of Company from time to time in possession of such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such deposits held or
indebtedness owing by such Bank may be contingent and unmatured and regardless of whether any Collateral then held by Agent or any Bank is adequate to cover the Indebtedness. Promptly following any such setoff, such Bank shall give written notice to
Agent and to Company of the occurrence thereof. The Company hereby grants to the Banks and the Agent a lien on and security interest in all such deposits, indebtedness and property as collateral security for the payment and performance of all of the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The rights of each Bank under this Section 9.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Bank may have. 
  

	 	10.	PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS 

 10.1
Payment Procedure. 
  

	 	(a)	Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by the Company in respect of principal of, or interest on, any Advance in Dollars under the Revolving Credit, or in respect of any
Letter of Credit Obligations under the Revolving Credit or Fees hereunder which are payable in Dollars shall be made without setoff or counterclaim on the date specified for payment under this Agreement not later than 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) in
Dollars in immediately available funds to Agent, for the ratable account of the Banks, at Agent’s office located at One Detroit Center, Detroit, Michigan 48226-3289. Upon receipt of each such payment, the Agent shall make prompt payment to each
applicable Bank, or, in respect of Eurocurrency-based Advances, such Bank’s Eurocurrency Lending Office, in like funds and currencies, of all amounts received by it for the account of such Bank. 

  

	 	(b)	 Unless the Agent shall have been notified by Company prior to the date on which any payment to be made by Company is due that Company does not intend to remit such
payment, the Agent may, in its sole discretion and without obligation to do so, assume that the Company has remitted such payment when so due and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Bank on such payment date an
amount equal to such Bank’s share of such assumed payment. If Company has not in fact remitted such payment to the Agent each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available or transferred to
such Bank, together with the interest thereon, in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Agent to such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) for
Prime-based Advances, the Federal Funds Effective Rate (daily average), as the same may vary from time to time, 



  

 66 









	 	 
and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency-based Advances or Quoted Rate Advances, Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining
any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by Agent) of carrying such amount. 


  

	 	(c)	Subject to the definition of Interest Period, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on
the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment. 

  

	 	(d)	All payments to be made by Company under this Agreement or any of the Notes (including without limitation payments under the Swing Line) shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim, as aforesaid, and, subject to full compliance by each Bank (and each assignee and participant pursuant to Section 13.8) with Section 13.12, without deduction for or on account of any present or future withholding or other
taxes of any nature imposed by any governmental authority or of any political subdivision thereof or any federation or organization of which such governmental authority may at the time of payment be a member (other than any net income, net profits
or franchise taxes imposed on the Agent or any Bank as a result of a present or former connection between the Agent or such Bank and the governmental authority, political subdivision, federation or organization imposing such taxes), unless Company
is compelled by law to make payment subject to such tax. In such event, Company shall: 

  

	 	(i)	pay to the Agent for Agent’s own account and/or, as the case may be, for the account of the Banks (and, in the case of Advances of the Swing Line, pay to the Swing Line Bank
which funded such Advances) such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Agent and/or such Bank or Banks receive a net amount equal to the full amount which would have been receivable had payment not been made subject to such tax;
and 

  

	 	(ii)	remit such tax to the relevant taxing authorities according to applicable law, and send to the Agent or the applicable Bank (including the Swing Line Bank) or Banks, as the case may
be, such certificates or certified copy receipts as the Agent or such Bank or Banks shall reasonably require as proof of the payment by the Company, of any such taxes payable by the Company. 

 As used herein, the terms “tax”, “taxes” and “taxation” include all taxes (other than taxes on or measured by the overall income of a
Person), levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings and any restrictions or conditions resulting in a charge together with interest (and any taxes payable upon the amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Section 10.1)
thereon, or the payment or delivery of funds into or out of any jurisdiction other than the United States (whether assessed against any of the Company, Agent or any of the Banks). Company shall be reimbursed by the applicable Bank for any payment
made by Company under this Section 10.1 if the applicable Bank is not in compliance with its obligations under Section 13.12. 
  

 67 








 10.2 Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, after an Event of Default and the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article 9 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the proceeds of any Collateral, together with any offsets, voluntary payments by Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company or others and any other sums received or collected in respect of the Indebtedness, shall be applied, first, to the Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit (including the Swing Line), and any Reimbursement Obligations on a pro rata basis (or
in such order and manner as determined by the Majority Banks; subject, however, to the applicable Percentages of the loans held by each of the Banks), next, to any other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis, and then, if there is any
excess, to Company and the Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Subject to the terms of this Section 10.2, the application of such proceeds and other sums to the Advances of the Revolving Credit, the Reimbursement Obligations and under any Bank
Hedging Agreements shall be based on each Bank’s Percentage of the aggregate of the loans. 
 10.3 Pro-rata Recovery. If any Bank
shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of principal of, or interest on, any of the Indebtedness in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or thereafter
obtained by all Banks upon principal of and interest on all Indebtedness, such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Revolving Credit and/or Reimbursement Obligation held by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Bank to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with the Percentage with each of them in accordance with the applicable Percentages of the Banks; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other
recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
  

	 	11.	CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS 

 11.1 Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs. If the Company makes any payment of principal with respect to any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
(whether voluntarily, by acceleration, or otherwise), or if the Company converts or refunds (or attempts to convert or refund) any such Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; or if the Company fails to
borrow, refund or convert into any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance after notice has been given by the Company to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance, or if the Company fails to make any payment of
principal or interest in respect of a Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance when due, the Company shall reimburse Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Bank, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand
therefor for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by Agent and Banks, as the case may be as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits
from third parties, whether or not Agent and Banks, as the case may be, shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance. Such amount payable by the Company to Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Bank, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
equal an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to
borrow, refund or convert, through the last 

  

 68 








 
day of the relevant Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over (b) the amount of
interest (as reasonably determined by Agent and Banks, as the case may be) which would have accrued to Agent and Banks, as the case may be, on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank
eurocurrency market. Calculation of any amounts payable to any Bank under this paragraph shall be made as though such Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an
amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that any Bank may fund any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance, as the case may be, in any manner it deems
fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Upon the written request of Company, Agent and Banks shall deliver to Company a certificate setting forth the basis
for determining such losses, costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error. 
 11.2
Eurocurrency Lending Office. For any Advance to which the Eurocurrency-based Rate is applicable, if Agent or a Bank, as applicable, shall designate a Eurocurrency Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of Agent
or such Bank, Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Advance on the books of such Eurocurrency Lending Office. 
 11.3 Circumstances Affecting Eurocurrency-based Rate Availability. If with respect to any Interest Period, Agent or the Majority Banks (after
consultation with Agent) shall determine in good faith that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars, in the applicable amounts are not being offered to the Agent or such
Banks for such Interest Period, then Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company. Thereafter, until Agent notifies the Company that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligation of Banks to make Eurocurrency-based
Advances, and the right of the Company to convert an Advance to or refund an Advance as a Eurocurrency-based Advance, as the case may be, shall be suspended, and (ii) effective upon the last day of each Interest Period related to any existing
Eurocurrency-based Advance, such Eurocurrency-based Advance shall automatically be converted into a Prime-based Advance (without regard to satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein). 
 11.4 Laws Affecting Eurocurrency-based Advance Availability. If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of, or any change in, any
applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency
Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) to honor its
obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Advance with interest at the Eurocurrency-based Rate, such Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and to Agent. Thereafter, (a) the obligations of the applicable Banks to make
Eurocurrency-based Advances and the right of the Company to convert an Advance into or refund an Advance as a Eurocurrency-based Advance shall be suspended and thereafter the Company may select as Applicable Interest Rates only those which remain
available and which are permitted to be selected hereunder, and (b) if any of the Banks 

  

 69 








 
may not lawfully continue to maintain an Advance to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto as a Eurocurrency-based Advance, the
applicable Advance shall immediately be converted to a Prime-based Advance and the Prime-based Rate shall be applicable thereto for the remainder of such Interest Period. For purposes of this Section, a change in law, rule, regulation,
interpretation or administration shall include, without limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration presently in force, the effective date of which change is
delayed by the terms of such law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration. 
 11.5 Increased Cost of Eurocurrency-based
Advances. If the adoption after the date of this Agreement of, or any change after the date of this Agreement in, any applicable law, rule or regulation of or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent or any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) made by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof: 
  

	 	(a)	shall subject any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Advance or shall change the basis of
taxation of payments to any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax
on the overall net income of any of the Banks or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices); or 

  

	 	(b)	shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) or shall impose on any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurocurrency
Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Advance; 

 and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the costs to any of the Banks of maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder as a Eurocurrency-based Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Banks under this Agreement in
respect of a Eurocurrency-based Advance, with respect to Advances to the Company, then such Bank shall promptly notify Agent, and Agent (or such Bank, as aforesaid) shall promptly notify the Company of such fact and demand compensation therefor in
writing and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the Company agrees to pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Banks for such increased cost or reduction. Agent will promptly notify the Company
of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle the Banks to compensation pursuant to this Section, or which will cause the Company to incur additional liability under Article 11 hereof, provided that Agent shall incur no liability
whatsoever to the Banks or the Company in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of Agent (or such Bank, if applicable) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Bank or Banks shall accompany such written demand 

  

 70 








 
and shall be prepared in good faith and conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. 
 11.6 Capital Adequacy and Other Increased Costs. In the event that after the Effective Date the adoption of or any change in any applicable law,
treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to any Bank or Agent, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank or Agent with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk based capital guidelines, affects or would
affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Bank or Agent (or any corporation controlling such Bank or Agent) and such Bank or Agent, as the case may be, determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the
existence of such Bank’s or Agent’s obligations or Advances hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or Agent’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of
such obligations or Advances hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or Agent (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by such Bank or Agent to be material (collectively, “Increased Costs”), then Agent or such Bank shall notify the Company in writing, and thereafter the Company shall pay to such Bank or Agent, as the case may be, within
fifteen (15) days of written demand therefor from such Bank or Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or Agent (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which
such Bank or Agent reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s or Agent’s obligations or Advances hereunder. A statement setting forth the amount of such compensation, the methodology for the calculation and the
calculation thereof which shall also be prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Bank or Agent, as the case may be, shall be submitted by such Bank or by Agent to the Company, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event
described in this Section 11.6 and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error in computation. 
 11.7 Substitution of Banks. If
(a) the obligation of any Bank to make Eurocurrency-based Advances has been suspended pursuant to Section 11.3 or 11.4 or (b) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 3.4(c), 11.1, 11.5 or 11.6, (in each case, an
“Affected Bank”), then the Company shall have the right (subject to Section 13.8 hereof), with the assistance of the Agent, to seek a substitute Bank or Banks (which may be one or more of the Banks (the “Purchasing Bank” or
“Purchasing Banks”) to purchase the Advances of the Revolving Credit, and/or Swing Line, as the case may be and assume the commitments (including without limitation its participations in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) under
this Agreement of such Affected Bank. The Affected Bank shall be obligated to sell its Advances of the Revolving Credit and/or Swing Line, as the case may be, and assign its commitments to such Purchasing Bank or Purchasing Banks within fifteen days
after receiving notice from Company requiring it to do so, at an aggregate price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus unpaid interest accrued thereon up to but excluding the date of the sale. In connection with any such sale, and
as a condition thereof, Company shall pay to the Affected Bank all fees accrued for its account hereunder to but excluding the date of such sale, plus, if demanded by the Affected Bank within ten Business Days after such sale, (i) the amount of
any compensation which would be due to the Affected Bank under Section 11.1 if the 

  

 71 








 
Company had prepaid the outstanding Eurocurrency-based Advances of the Affected Bank on the date of such sale and (ii) any additional compensation
accrued for its account under Sections 3.4(c) and 11.5 to but excluding said date. Upon such sale, the Purchasing Bank or Purchasing Banks shall assume the Affected Bank’s commitment, and the Affected Bank shall be released from its obligations
hereunder to a corresponding extent. If any Purchasing Bank is not already one of the Banks, the Affected Bank, as assignor, such Purchasing Bank, as assignee, Company and the Agent, shall enter into an Assignment Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.8 hereof, whereupon such Purchasing Bank shall be a Bank party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an assignee hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Percentage equal to its ratable share of the
then applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. In connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.7, the Company or the Purchasing Bank shall pay to the Agent the administrative fee for processing such assignment referred to
in Section 13.8. 
 11.8 Right of Banks to Fund through Branches and Affiliates. Each Bank (including without limitation the
Swing Line Bank) may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Advance hereunder by designating a branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Advance; provided that (a) such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the
performances of its obligations hereunder and (b) no such designation shall result in any material increased costs to the Company. 
  

	 	12.	AGENT 

 12.1 Appointment of Agent. Each Bank
and the holder of each Note (if issued) irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Bank or holder under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically
delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto, including without limitation the power to execute or authorize the execution of financing or similar statements or notices, and
other documents. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with
or for Company. Each Bank agrees (which agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement) to reimburse Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including house and outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Agent
hereunder or in connection herewith or with an Event of Default or in enforcing the obligations of Company under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument executed pursuant hereto, and for which Agent is not reimbursed by
Company, pro rata according to such Bank’s Percentage, but excluding any such expense resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Any such amounts so paid by the Banks shall constitute additional Indebtedness hereunder.
Agent shall not be required to take any action under the Loan Documents, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Loan Documents, unless indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against loss, costs, liability and expense (excluding
liability resulting from its gross negligence or wilful misconduct). If any indemnity furnished to Agent shall become impaired, it may call for additional indemnity and cease to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
given. 
  

 72 








 12.2 Deposit Account with Agent. Company hereby authorizes Agent, in Agent’s sole discretion,
upon notice to Company to charge its general deposit account(s), if any, maintained with Agent for the amount of any principal, interest, or other amounts or costs due under this Agreement when the same become due and payable under the terms of this
Agreement or the Notes. 
 12.3 Scope of Agent’s Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth herein, and shall not, by reason of this Agreement or otherwise, have a fiduciary relationship with any Bank (and no implied covenants or other obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Agent). None of Agent, its
Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto, or in connection
herewith or therewith with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or all of the Banks for those acts requiring consent of all of the Banks) (except for its or their own wilful misconduct or gross negligence), nor be responsible for or
have any duties to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any recitals or warranties made by the Company, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or any officer thereof contained herein or therein, (b) the effectiveness,
enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto or any security thereunder, (c) the performance by Company of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (d) the
satisfaction of any condition hereunder or thereunder, including without limitation the making of any Advance or the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice, document or other
communication (including any cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission or oral communication) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been sent or given by or on behalf of a proper person. Agent may treat the payee of any Note as
the holder thereof. Agent may employ agents and may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to the Banks (except as to money or property
received by them or their authorized agents), for the negligence or misconduct of any such agent selected by it with reasonable care or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts. 
 12.4 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days prior notice to Company
and all Banks. If Agent at any time shall resign or if the office of Agent shall become vacant for any other reason, Majority Banks shall, by written instrument, appoint successor agent(s) satisfactory to such Majority Banks, and, so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Company. Such successor agent shall thereupon become the Agent hereunder, as applicable, and shall be entitled to receive from the prior Agent such documents of transfer and assignment
as such successor Agent may reasonably request. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If a
successor is not so appointed or does not accept such appointment before the resigning Agent’s resignation becomes effective, the resigning Agent may appoint a temporary successor to act until such appointment by the Majority Banks and, if
applicable, the Company is made and accepted or if no such temporary successor is appointed as provided above by the resigning Agent, the Majority Banks shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the resigning Agent hereunder until such
appointment by the Majority Banks and, if applicable, the Company 

  

 73 








 
is made and accepted. Such successor Agent shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the resigning Agent as if originally named. The resigning
Agent shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Agent all moneys at the time held by the resigning Agent hereunder after deducting therefrom its expenses for which it is entitled to be reimbursed. Upon such succession of any such
successor Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, in its capacity as Agent, hereunder, except for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct arising prior to its resignation hereunder, and the provisions of
this Article 12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the resigning Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. 
 12.5 Credit Decisions. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently of Agent and each other Bank and based on the financial statements of Company and such other documents, information and investigations as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend credit hereunder from time to time. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently of Agent and each other Bank and based on such other documents, information and
investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any document executed pursuant
hereto. 
 12.6 Authority of Agent to Enforce This Agreement. Each Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
authorizes the Agent with full power and authority as attorney-in-fact to institute and maintain actions, suits or proceedings for the collection and enforcement of any Indebtedness outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to
file such proofs of debt or other documents as may be necessary to have the claims of the Banks allowed in any proceeding relative to Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective creditors or affecting their respective properties, and to
take such other actions which Agent considers to be necessary or desirable for the protection, collection and enforcement of the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 12.7 Indemnification of Agent. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent and its Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by Company, but without
limiting any obligation of Company to make such reimbursement), ratably according to their respective Percentages, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent and its Affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent and its Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses resulting from the Agent’s or its Affiliates’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for
its ratable share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Agent
and its Affiliates is not reimbursed for such expenses by Company, 

  

 74 








 
but without limiting the obligation of Company to make such reimbursement. Each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand
for its ratable share of any amounts owing to the Agent and its Affiliates by the Banks pursuant to this Section, provided that, if the Agent or its Affiliates is subsequently reimbursed by the Company for such amounts, it shall refund to the Banks
on a pro rata basis the amount of any excess reimbursement. If the indemnity furnished to the Agent and its Affiliates under this Section shall, in the judgment of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional
indemnity from the Banks and cease, or not commence, to take any action until such additional indemnity is furnished. Any amounts paid by the Banks hereunder to the Agent or its Affiliates shall be deemed to constitute part of the Indebtedness
hereunder. 
 12.8 Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of the Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have been notified in a writing specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default” by a Bank or by Company. Upon receiving such a notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such Event of Default and provide each Bank with a copy of such notice and, shall endeavor to provide such notice to
the Banks within three (3) Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in the event of its failure to do so). Agent shall also furnish the Banks, promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information required to
be provided by Company hereunder. 
 12.9 Agent’s Authorization; Action by Banks. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
whenever the Agent is authorized and empowered hereunder on behalf of the Banks to give any approval or consent, or to make any request, or to take any other action on behalf of the Banks (including without limitation the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents), the Agent shall be required to give such approval or consent, or to make such request or to take such other action only when so requested in writing by the Majority Banks or the Banks, as
applicable hereunder. Action that may be taken by Majority Banks or all of the Banks, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder) may be taken (i) pursuant to a vote at a meeting (which may be held by telephone conference call) as to which
all of the Banks have been given reasonable advance notice, or (ii) pursuant to the written consent of the requisite percentages of the Banks as required hereunder, provided that all of the Banks are given reasonable advance notice of the
requests for such consent. 
 12.10 Enforcement Actions by the Agent. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement or
in any of the other Loan Documents and subject to the terms hereof, Agent will take such action, assert such rights and pursue such remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Majority Banks or all of the Banks, as the case may
be (as provided for hereunder), shall direct; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to act or omit to act if, in the judgment of the Agent, such action or omission may expose the Agent to personal liability or is contrary to this
Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or applicable law. Except as expressly provided above or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no Bank (other than the Agent, acting in its capacity as agent) shall be entitled to take any
enforcement action of any kind under any of the Loan Documents. 
  

 75 








 12.11 Collateral Matters. 
  

	 	(a)	The Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Banks, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Banks, from time to time to take any action with respect to
any Collateral or the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	The Banks irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of
the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and payment in full of all Indebtedness payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any
disposition expressly permitted hereunder; (iii) constituting property in which a Loan Party owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the
Majority Banks, or all the Banks, as the case may be, as provided in Section 13.10. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Banks will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant
to this Section 12.11(b). 

 12.12 Agent in its Individual Capacities. Comerica Bank and its Affiliates and its
successors and assigns, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though such Bank were not the Agent. Comerica Bank and its Affiliates and their respective successors
and assigns may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Company (or its Subsidiaries) as if such Bank were
not acting as Agent hereunder, and may accept fees and other consideration therefor without having to account for the same to the Banks. 
 12.13 Co-Agent. The Bank identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as Co-Agent (if any) shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those
applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank so identified as Co-Agent shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on
the Bank so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 12.14 Agent’s
Fees. Until the Indebtedness has been repaid and discharged in full and no commitment to fund any loan hereunder is outstanding, the Company shall pay to the Agent, as applicable, an agency fee(s) set forth (or to be set forth from time to time)
in the applicable Fee Letter on the terms set forth therein. The Agent’s Fees described in this Section 12.14 shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
  

	 	13.	MISCELLANEOUS 

 13.1 Accounting Principles.
(a) Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, it shall be


  

 76 








 
done, unless otherwise specified herein, in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder, subject to
year-end audit adjustments thereto and the omission of footnote disclosure in the case of unaudited statements, shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
  

	 	(b)	In calculating the financial covenants, they shall be determined on a pro forma basis for each period during which a Permitted Acquisition shall have occurred, giving effect to such
Permitted Acquisition as if it had occurred on the first day of the relevant period. 

 13.2 Consent to Jurisdiction.
Company, Agent and Banks hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal Court or Michigan state court sitting in Detroit, Michigan in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any of the Loan Documents and Company, Agent and Banks hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such United States Federal Court or Michigan state court. Company irrevocably
consent to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding brought in any court in or of the State of Michigan by the delivery of copies of such process to Company at its address specified on the signature page hereto or by
certified mail directed to such address or such other address as may be designated by Company in a notice to the other parties that complies as to delivery with the terms of Section 13.6. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the
Banks and the Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Banks or the Agent (or any of them) to bring any such action or proceeding against Company or any Subsidiary or any of its or their property in the
courts with subject matter jurisdiction of any other jurisdiction. Company hereby irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in the above described courts. 
 13.3 Law of Michigan. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Michigan (without regard to its conflict of laws provisions). Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 13.4 Interest. In the event the obligation of Company to pay interest on the principal balance of the Notes is or becomes in excess of the maximum
interest rate which Company is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay, giving due consideration to the execution date of this Agreement, then, in that event, the rate of interest applicable with respect to such Bank’s applicable
Percentages shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not of interest. 
 13.5 Closing Costs and Other Costs; Indemnification. (a) Company agrees to pay, or reimburse the Agent for payment of, within five Business
Days of demand therefor (except for closing costs which shall be payable on the Effective Date) (i) all reasonable closing costs and expenses, including, by way of description and not limitation, house and outside attorney fees 

  

 77

basis of any notice given to it by telephone, but the giver of any such notice shall promptly confirm such notice in writing or by telex or facsimile, and such notice will not be deemed to have been received until such confirmation is deemed

 13.8 Successors and Assigns;
Participations; Assignments. 
  

	 	(a)	This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Company and the Banks and their respective successors and assigns. 

  

	 	(b)	The foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by Company of its rights or duties hereunder, and, except as otherwise provided herein, no such assignment shall be made (or
effective) without the prior written approval of the Banks. 

  

 79 









	 	(c)	The Company and Agent acknowledge that each of the Banks may at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, assign or grant participations in such
Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder (on a pro rata basis only) and under the other Loan Documents to any commercial bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, pension fund, mutual fund, commercial finance company or other
similar institution, the identity of which institution is approved by Company and Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that (i) the approval of Company shall not be required upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, (ii) the approval of Company and Agent shall not be required for any such sale, transfer, assignment or participation to the Affiliate of an assigning Bank, any other Bank or any Federal Reserve
Bank and (iii) no assignment shall be made or participation granted to an entity which is a competitor of Company and their Subsidiaries without the consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Company. The
Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any prospective assignee or participant, once approved by Company and Agent, any and all financial information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Company which has been delivered to such Bank
pursuant to this Agreement; provided that each such prospective participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of Section 13.11 hereof. 

  

	 	(d)	Each assignment by a Bank of all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, which assignments shall be on a pro rata basis, shall be
made pursuant to an Assignment Agreement substantially (as determined by Agent) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (with appropriate insertions acceptable to Agent) (provided however that such Bank need not deliver an Assignment Agreement in
connection with assignments to such Bank’s Affiliates or to a Federal Reserve Bank) and shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and to the following restrictions: 

  

	 	(i)	each assignment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or such lesser amount as the Agent shall agree and (y) the entire
remaining amount of assigning Bank’s aggregate interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit); provided however that, after giving effect to such assignment, in no event shall the entire remaining
amount (if any) of assigning Bank’s aggregate interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit) be less than $5,000,000; and 

  

	 	(ii)	no assignment shall be effective unless Agent has received from the assignee (or from the assigning Bank) an assignment fee of $3,500 for each such assignment and such assignment is
accompanied by the relevant tax forms required under Section 13.12 hereof. 

 In connection with any assignment, Company
and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Bank in connection with 

  

 80 








 
the interest so assigned until (x) the Agent shall have received a notice of assignment duly executed by the assigning Bank and an Assignment Agreement
(with respect thereto) duly executed by the assigning Bank and each assignee; and (y) the assigning Bank shall have delivered to the Agent the original of each Note held by the assigning Bank under this Agreement. From and after the date on
which the Agent shall notify Company and the assigning Bank that the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied and all consents (if any) required shall have been given, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement. To
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder shall have been assigned to such assignee as provided in such notice of assignment (and Assignment Agreement), such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the right to receive fees payable hereunder in respect of the period following such assignment). In addition, the assigning Bank, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder shall have
been assigned by it as provided in such notice of assignment (and Assignment Agreement), but not otherwise, shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Within five (5) Business Days following Company’s receipt of notice from the Agent that Agent has accepted and executed a notice of assignment
and the duly executed Assignment Agreement and assuming the Company has consented to such assignment (if their consent is required), Company shall, to the extent applicable, and if requested by the assignee Bank, execute and deliver to the Agent in
exchange for any surrendered Note, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to it pursuant to such notice of assignment (and Assignment Agreement), and with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness
retained by the assigning Bank, to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the amount retained by such Bank hereunder. Agent, the Banks and the Company acknowledge and agree that any such
new Note(s) shall be given in renewal and replacement of the surrendered Notes and shall not effect or constitute a novation or discharge of the Indebtedness evidenced by any surrendered Note, and each such new Note may contain a provision
confirming such agreement. In addition, promptly following receipt of such Notes, Agent shall prepare and distribute to Company and the assigning Bank and the assignee Bank a revised Schedule 1.2 to this Agreement setting forth the applicable new
Percentages of the Banks (including the assignee Bank), taking into account such assignment. 
  

	 	(e)	Each Bank agrees that any participation agreement permitted hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be subject to the following restrictions (which shall be set
forth in the applicable Participation Agreement): 

  

	 	(i)	such Bank shall remain the holder of its Notes hereunder (if such Notes are issued), notwithstanding any such participation; 

  

 81 









	 	(ii)	a participant shall not reassign or transfer, or grant any sub-participations in its participation interest hereunder or any part thereof; and 

  

	 	(iii)	such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company relating to the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
the right to proceed against any Guarantors, or cause Agent to do so (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without the consent of the
participant (other than a participant which is an Affiliate of such Bank), except for those matters covered by Section 13.10(a) through (e) and (h) hereof (provided that a participant may exercise approval rights over such matters
only on an indirect basis, acting through such Bank, and Company, Agent and the other Banks may continue to deal directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and duties hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the
case of any participation granted by any Bank hereunder, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the participant’s rights against such Bank in respect of such participation to be those
set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation, provided, however,
that such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 13.8(e) with respect to rights of setoff under Section 9.6 and the benefit of Section 11 hereof, and provided further, however, that no participant
shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the issuing Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such issuing Bank to such participant had no such
transfer occurred. 

  

	 	(f)	The Agent shall maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Banks, the Percentages of such Banks and the principal amount of each type of Advance owing to each such Bank from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, and the Company, the
Agent, and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the any of the Company or any Bank
upon reasonable notice to the Agent and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party on their prior written request. The Agent shall give prompt written notice to the Company of the making of any entry in the Register or any change
in such entry. 

  

	 	(g)	 Nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective
parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees and participants permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, 



  

 82 









	 	 
remedy or other claim under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents. 


 13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each executed copy shall constitute an original instrument, but
such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 13.10 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Company or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Banks (or by the Agent at
the written request of the Majority Banks) or, if this Agreement expressly so requires with respect to the subject matter thereof, by all Banks (and, with respect to any amendments to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, by Company or the
Guarantors which are signatories thereto), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, (X) that no amendment, waiver or consent shall increase
the Percentage or the stated commitment amounts applicable to any Bank unless approved, in writing, by the affected Bank and (Y) that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Banks, do any of the following:
(a) reduce the principal of, or interest on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (b) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any Fees
or other amounts payable hereunder, (c) waive any Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(a) hereof, (d) except as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, release or defer the granting or perfecting of a
lien or security interest in all or substantially all or any material part of the Collateral (other than the release or deferral of any leasehold mortgage which shall be approved by the Majority Banks) or release any guaranty or similar undertaking
provided by any Person, provided however that Agent shall be entitled to release any Collateral or guaranty in connection with any sale or other transfer by Company or any Subsidiary which is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents without notice to or any further action or consent of the Banks, (e) terminate or modify any indemnity provided to the Banks hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (f) take any action which requires the approval or consent of all Banks pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (h) change the definitions of “Borrowing Base”,
“Percentage”, “Majority Banks” or this Section 13.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing signed by the Swing Line Bank, do any of the following: (x) reduce
the principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line Note or (y) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line Note; (B) no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the
Issuing Bank, affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank under Article 3 hereof and (C) no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to all the Banks, affect the rights or duties of the
Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. All references in this Agreement to “Banks” or “the Banks” shall refer to all Banks, unless expressly stated to refer to Majority Banks (or the like). 
 13.11 Confidentiality. Each Bank agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of Company (other than to its employees, its
Subsidiaries, another Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or to its auditors or counsel) any information with respect to Company, which is furnished 

  

 83 








 
pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that any Bank may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally
available to the public or has been lawfully obtained by such Bank from any third party under no duty of confidentiality to Company, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in respect to any
inquiry, by, any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Bank, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any
litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Bank, and (e) to any permitted transferee or assignee or to any approved participant of, or with respect to, the Notes, as aforesaid; provided
that each such Person executed a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of this Section 13.11. 
 13.12 Withholding
Taxes. If any Bank is not a united states person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code such Bank shall promptly (but in any event prior to the initial payment of interest hereunder) deliver to the Agent two
executed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor form specifying the applicable tax treaty between the United States and the jurisdiction of such Bank’s domicile which provides for the exemption from withholding
on interest payments to such Bank, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor form evidencing that the income to be received by such Bank hereunder is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States or (iii) other evidence satisfactory to the Agent that such Bank is exempt from United States income tax withholding with respect to such income; provided, however, that such Bank shall not be required to deliver to Agent the aforesaid
forms or other evidence with respect to Advances to the Company, if such Bank has assigned its entire interest in the Revolving Credit (including any outstanding Advances thereunder and participations in Letters of Credit issued hereunder), the
Swing Line and any Notes issued to it by the Company, to an Affiliate which is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, and so notifies the Agent. Such Bank shall amend or supplement any such form or evidence as required
to insure that it is accurate, complete and non-misleading at all times. Promptly upon notice from the Agent of any determination by the Internal Revenue Service that any payments previously made to such Bank hereunder were subject to United States
income tax withholding when made, such Bank shall pay to the Agent the excess of the aggregate amount required to be withheld from such payments over the aggregate amount actually withheld by the Agent. In addition, from time to time upon the
reasonable request and at the sole expense of the Company, each Bank and the Agent shall (to the extent it is able to do so based upon applicable facts and circumstances), complete and provide the Company with such forms, certificates or other
documents as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Company, as applicable, to make any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without any withholding for or on the account of any tax under Section 10.1(d) hereof (or with
such withholding at a reduced rate), provided that the execution and delivery of such forms, certificates or other documents does not adversely affect or otherwise restrict the right and benefits (including without limitation economic benefits)
available to such of the Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or under or in connection with any transactions not related to the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  

 84 








 13.13 Taxes and Fees. Should any tax (other than as a result of a Bank’s failure to comply
with Section 13.12 or a tax based upon the net income or capitalization of any Bank or the Agent by any jurisdiction where a Bank or Agent is or has been located), recording or filing fee become payable in respect of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or supplement hereof or thereof, the Company agrees to pay the same, together with any interest or penalties thereon arising from the Company’s act or omission, and agrees to hold the
Agent and the Banks harmless with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.13 shall affect or reduce the rights of any Bank or the Agent under Section 11.5 hereof. 
 13.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BANKS, THE AGENT AND THE COMPANY 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 THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR
WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. NEITHER THE BANKS, THE AGENT, NOR COMPANY 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 THE BANKS AND THE AGENT OR COMPANY EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY ALL OF THEM. 
 13.15 Complete Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement, the Notes (if issued), any Requests for Revolving Credit Advance and Requests for Swing Line
Advance hereunder, and the Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto, superseding all prior agreements, discussions and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, and none of the parties shall be bound by anything
not expressed in writing. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Agreement shall govern. 
 13.16 Severability. In case any one or more of the obligations of Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining obligations of Company shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or
enforceability of the obligations of Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents in any other jurisdiction. 
 13.17 Table of Contents and Headings. The table of contents and the headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 13.18 Construction of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents refers to any action to
be taken by any Person, or which such Person is 

  

 85 








 
prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person, whether or not expressly
specified in such provision. 
 13.19 Independence of Covenants. Each covenant hereunder shall be given independent effect (subject to
any exceptions stated in such covenant) so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenant (taking into account any such stated exception), the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise
within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default. 
 13.20 Reliance on and
Survival of Various Provisions. All terms, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of Company or any party to any of the Loan Documents made herein or in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, financial statement
or other document furnished by or on behalf of Company or any Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Banks, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter
made by any Bank or on such Bank’s behalf, and those covenants and agreements of Company set forth in Section 13.5 hereof (together with any other indemnities of Company or any Subsidiary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of
the other Loan Documents) and of Banks set forth in Section 12.7 hereof shall survive the repayment in full of the Indebtedness and the termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. 
 13.21 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION. The following notification is provided to Company pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001,
31 U.S.C. Section 5318; IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify,
and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for Company: When
Company opens an account, Agent and the Banks will ask for Company’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow Agent and the Banks to identify Company. Agent and the Banks may also ask to see
Company’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents. 
 13.22 Complete Agreement; Amendment and Restatement.
This Agreement, the Notes, any Requests for Revolving Credit Advance or Letters of Credit hereunder and Requests for Swing Line Advances hereunder, and the other Loan Documents, contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and none of the
parties hereto shall be bound by anything not expressed in writing. This Agreement constitutes an amendment to and restatement in its entirety of the Existing Credit Agreement, which Existing Credit Agreement is fully superseded and amended and
restated in its entirety hereby; provided, however, that the Indebtedness governed by the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect (subject to the terms hereof).

	To:	TECSTAR AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC. 

 and 
 COMERICA BANK (“Agent”) 
  

	RE:	Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 19, 2006 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Tecstar
Automotive Group, Inc. (“Company”), Comerica Bank in its capacity as agent for the Banks (“Agent”) and certain Banks from time to time party thereto 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to Sections 13.8(c) and (d) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, all initially capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings specified
in the Credit Agreement. 
 This Assignment Agreement constitutes notice to each of you of the proposed assignment and delegation by
[insert assignor Bank] (the “Assignor”) to [insert proposed assignee] (the “Assignee”), and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, and
the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, effective on the “Effective Date” (as hereafter defined) that undivided interest in each of Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents equal to ___% of the Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances), such that, after giving effect to the foregoing assignment and assumption, [and the other assignments by Assignor to
___________ on the date hereof,] the Assignee’s interest and the Assignor’s remaining interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances) shall be as set forth on the attached
schedule. 
 The Assignor hereby instructs the Agent to make all payments from and including the Effective Date hereof in respect of the
interest assigned hereby, directly to the Assignee. The Assignor and the Assignee agree that all interest and fees accrued up to, but not including, the Effective Date of the assignment and delegation being made hereby are the property of the
Assignor, and not the Assignee. The Assignee agrees that, upon receipt of any such interest or fees accrued up to the Effective Date, the Assignee will promptly remit the same to the Assignor. 
 The Assignee hereby confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the exhibits and schedules referred to therein, and all other Loan
Documents which it considers 










 
necessary, together with copies of the other documents which were required to be delivered under the Credit Agreement as a condition to the making of the
loans thereunder. The Assignee acknowledges and agrees that it: (a) is legally authorized to enter into this Assignment Agreement; (b) has made and will continue to make such inquiries and has taken and will take such care on its own
behalf as would have been the case had its Percentages been granted and its loans been made directly by such Assignee to the Company without the intervention of the Agent, the Assignor or any other Bank; and (c) has made and will continue to
make, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, its own credit analysis and decisions relating to the Credit Agreement. The Assignee
further acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor the Assignor has made any representations or warranties about the creditworthiness of the Company or any other party to the Credit Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents, or with
respect to the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, or any other of the Loan Documents. This assignment shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Assignor, except as set forth herein. 
 Assignee represents and warrants that it is a Person to which assignments are permitted pursuant to Section 13.8(c) of the Credit Agreement.

 Assignor represents and warrants, as of the Effective Date, that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned and
delegated by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any pledge, encumbrance or other adverse claim or interest created by Assignor. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date: 
  

	 	(a)	the Assignee: (i) shall be deemed automatically to have become a party to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to have assumed all of the Assignor’s
obligations thereunder to the extent of the Assignee’s Percentage referred to in the second paragraph of this Assignment Agreement, and to have all the rights and obligations of a “Bank” to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, as if it were an original signatory thereto to the extent specified in the second paragraph hereof; and (ii) agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as if it were
an original signatory thereto; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Assignor’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be reduced by the percentage assigned to Assignee referred to in the second paragraph
of this Assignment Agreement. 

 As used herein, the term “Effective Date” means the date on which all of the
following have occurred or have been completed, as reasonably determined by the Agent: 
  

	 	(1)	the delivery to the Agent of an original of this Assignment Agreement executed by the Assignor and the Assignee; 

  

 2 









	 	(2)	the payment to the Agent of the $3,500 processing fee referred to in Section 13.8(d) (ii) of the Credit Agreement; and 

  

	 	(3)	all other restrictions and items noted in Sections 13.8(c) and (d) of the Credit Agreement have been completed. 

 Following the execution and delivery of this Assignment Agreement by the Assignor and Assignee to the Agent, Agent shall record the assignment in the
Register pursuant to Section 13.8(f) of the Credit Agreement and the Agent shall notify the Assignor and the Assignee, along with the Company of the Effective Date. 
 On the Effective Date the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor the amount agreed upon with respect to the outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Advances owed to Assignor by Company under the Credit Agreement
in respect of the interest being assigned hereby. 
 The Assignee has delivered to the Agent (or is delivering to the Agent concurrently
herewith) the tax forms referred to in Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement, and other forms reasonably requested by the Agent, if required. The Assignor has delivered to the Agent (or is delivering to Agent concurrently herewith), the
original of each Note (if any issued) held by the Assignor under the Credit Agreement. 
 Please evidence your consent to and acceptance of
the proposed assignment and delegation set forth herein by signing and returning counterparts hereof to the Assignor and the Assignee.
