 AMENDMENT 
 TO 
 SERVICE AGREEMENT 
 This Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the Service Agreement by and among Larry Schwentor (the “Consultant”), Tower Automotive, LLC (the “Company”) and
MGT4VALUE LLC (“MGT4VALUE”), dated as of August 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”), is entered into and effective as of January 1, 2009. 
 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement. 
 R E C I T A L S 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend certain terms of the Agreement in response to economic conditions and corresponding to similar changes being made by Company management with respect to their own compensation arrangements. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Amendments. 
 1.1. Section 2(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read
as follows: 
 “(c) Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 4, the term of MGT4VALUE’s
engagement under this Agreement (the “Consulting Period”) will commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the earlier of (i) the third annual anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) if the Consultant so elects by
providing written notice to the Company no later than May 1, 2009, on the second annual anniversary of the Effective Date (which shall not be considered a voluntary termination by MGT4VALUE pursuant to Section 4(a) but shall instead be
considered to be a termination at the end of the Consulting Period pursuant to Section 4(d)); provided, however, that, except in the case of elective termination by the Consultant pursuant to subsection (ii) of this
Section 2(c), the Consulting Period will extend automatically for successive periods of one year unless either MGT4VALUE or the Company








 
delivers a written notice of termination to the other no later than 30 days prior to the expiration of the then applicable Consulting Period; provided, further, however, that
this Agreement shall terminate on the Liquidation Event Date for the first Liquidation Event (except for item (iv) under the definition of Liquidation Event) to occur after the Effective Date.” 
 1.2. Section 3(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding a sentence at the end of such Section as follows: 
 “Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing February 1, 2009, the Consulting Fee shall be reduced (by 10%) to $360,000 on an
annualized basis. The parties acknowledge and agree that this reduction is in response to economic conditions and to similar changes being made by Company management with respect to their own compensation arrangements. In the event that, during the
Consulting Period, the base salary of the CEO of the Company is increased, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to further amend this Agreement to increase the amount of the Consulting Fee proportionately (taking into account the original
percentage reduction taken by the CEO, the original percentage reduction taken by the Consultant, and the percentage increase then being effected in the CEO’s base salary).” 
 1.3. Section 3(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “(b) Annual Bonus. In addition, for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) during the Consulting Period, MGT4VALUE shall be
eligible to receive an annual variable bonus payment with a target gross amount of $400,000 for each annual period (the “Annual Bonus”). The precise amount of the Annual Bonus shall be based on the operational performance of the Company
and the Tower Companies and be subject to the achievement of budgeted EBITDA and debt reduction targets as set by the Board at the beginning of each Fiscal Year. If such targets are fully achieved, MGT4VALUE shall be entitled to 100% of the Annual
Bonus. In case the targets are under-achieved or over-achieved, the Annual Bonus shall be reduced or increased, as the case may be. The formula for calculating the precise bonus payment shall be determined by the Board or any committee thereof
designated by the Board for such purpose in consultation with MGT4VALUE. The Annual Bonus payment shall be due on the earlier of (i) thirty days after the approval by the Board of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the
Tower Companies, and (ii) the date on which the Company pays annual bonuses to other members of management. In no event shall the Annual Bonus or portion thereof, be paid later than March 15 of the calendar year following

  

 -2- 








 
the year in which the Annual Bonus or portion thereof is earned. For the initial Fiscal Year during the Consulting Period, the Annual Bonus, if any, shall be prorated from August 1,

and effect. This Amendment shall not itself be amended, except as part of any future amendment to the Agreement effected in accordance with the terms thereof. The terms of this Amendment may be reflected in an amended and restated agreement upon
approval and execution hereof. 
 3. Further Assurances. Each party agrees to execute and deliver such other documents
and to do such other acts and things as any other party may reasonably request from time to time for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Amendment.

pursuant to Section 2(c), the Company will not have any further obligation to MGT4VALUE (or Consultant), except for (A) the payments referred to in Section 4(d)(ii) above, (B) obligations expressly required by any other written
agreement between MGT4VALUE and the Company, and (C) obligations of the Company that may arise from the Company’s enforcement of the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement after the termination date. 
 (e) Limitation of Claims. Upon the termination of MGT4VALUE’s engagement with the Company for any reason, MGT4VALUE, the
Consultant, or the Consultant’s estate will not have any rights or claims against the Company under this Agreement other than the rights or claims expressly provided by this Section 4. MGT4VALUE and the Consultant hereby waive, to the
extent permitted by law, all other rights and claims MGT4VALUE, the Consultant, or the Consultant’s estate now has or may have at law or in equity against the Company and its members, managers, officers, employees and agents if the termination
is or may be wrongful under applicable law or public policy; provided, however, that in the event of a Termination for Cause, MGT4VALUE will be entitled to dispute whether grounds exist for such a Termination for Cause. 
 Section 5. Confidentiality; Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. 
 (a) General Acknowledgment. In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, MGT4VALUE and the Consultant (i) agree
to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Section, (ii) agree, represent and wan-ant that MGT4VALUE and the Consultant have read and given careful consideration to all of the terms and provisions of this Section, and agree that the terms
and provisions of this Section are reasonable with respect to the subject matter thereof and necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Confidential Information, legitimate business interests and goodwill of the Company and its
Affiliates, and (iii) acknowledge that the Company agreed to enter into this Agreement in reliance on the representations, agreements and covenants of MGT4VALUE and the Consultant to abide by and be bound by the terms and provisions of this
Section. 
 (b) Confidentiality. (i) MGT4VALUE and the Consultant acknowledge that (A) during the Consulting
Period and as a part of MGT4VALUE’s engagement hereunder, MGT4VALUE and the Consultant will be afforded access to Confidential Information and (B) disclosure of such Confidential Information could have an adverse effect on the Company, its
Affiliates and their respective interests and businesses. 
  

 --10-- 








 (ii) MGT4VALUE and the Consultant agree that during the Consulting Period and thereafter,
they will not, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge, publish or otherwise make known to any Person or use any Confidential information for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except for the proper discharge of MGT4VALUE’s and the
Consultant’s duties to the Company under this Agreement. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if MGT4VALUE
or the Consultant is required to disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation or a subpoena or court order by a court of competent jurisdiction, MGT4VALUE or the Consultant will promptly notify the Company
of any such requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. MGT4VALUE and the Consultant will reasonably cooperate with the Company to
obtain such a protective order or other remedy. If such order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, MGT4VALUE and the Consultant will disclose only that portion of the Confidential
Information which MGT4VALUE or the Consultant is advised by counsel that MGT4VALUE or the Consultant is legally required to so disclose and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded the information so disclosed. 
 (c) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. (i) MGT4VALUE and the Consultant
understand and acknowledge that (A) the services to be performed by MGT4VALUE and the Consultant under this Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual character, (B) the Company’s business is
international in scope, (C) the Company competes with other businesses that are or could be located worldwide, and (D) the restrictions set forth in this Section may limit MGT4VALUE’s and the Consultant’s ability to cam a
livelihood in a business which directly or indirectly competes with the Company, but MGT4VALUE and the Consultant nevertheless believe that MGT4VALUE and the Consultant have received and will under this Agreement receive sufficient consideration to
clearly justify restrictions which, in any event, given the Consultant’s education, skills and ability, MGT4VALUE and the Consultant do not believe would prevent MGT4VALUE and the Consultant from earning a living. 
 (ii) Non-Competition. MGT4VALUE and the consultant agree that during the Non-Compete Period (as defined below), MGT4VALUE and the
Consultant will not engage, or assist any Person in engaging, either directly or indirectly, individually, or as a director, officer, employee, shareholder, manager, member, partner, owner, agent, consultant, investor, lender or principal, or in any
other capacity, in any Competing Business; provided, however, that the passive ownership by MGT4VALUE or the Consultant of not more than 1.0% of any class of equity securities of any corporation that engages in a Competing Business, if
such equity securities are listed on a national securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will not be deemed to be a breach of this Section. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the right, at any time, in its sole discretion, to waive any or all of the provisions of this Section 5. 
  


 --11-- 








 (iii) Non-Solicitation. MGT4VALUE and the Consultant agree that during the
Non-Compete Period, MGT4VALUE and the Consultant will not in any manner, directly or indirectly: 
 (A) solicit, hire, induce
or attempt to induce, or assist others to solicit, hire, induce or attempt to induce, any employee, contractor, consultant or agent of the Company or any of the Tower Companies to either (I) leave or terminate his or her employment, consulting
or other position or business relationship with the Company or any of the Tower Companies, or (II) breach his or her employment, consulting or other agreement with the Company or any of the Tower Companies; provided, however, that the foregoing
provision will not prohibit MGT4VALUE or the Consultant from hiring any such employee, contractor, consultant or agent through general advertising that is not targeted directly at the Company or any of the Tower Companies; or 
 (B) solicit, induce or attempt to induce or assist others to solicit, induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, contractor or
client associated with the Company’s or the Tower Companies’ businesses to terminate its, his or her business relationship or association with the Company or the Tower Companies or in any manner, directly or indirectly, interfere with any
business relationship between the Company or a Tower Company and any such Person. 
 (d) Non-Compete Period. The term
“Non-Compete Period” means the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and shall continue for the longer of (i) one year following the date of the termination of MGT4VALUE’s engagement under this Agreement, and
(ii) the date on which the Company ceases to make post-termination payments to MGT4VALUE. 
 (e) Enforcement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, at the time of enforcement of any provision of this Section, a court should hold that the duration or scope restrictions stated herein are unreasonable or unenforceable under circumstances
then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration or scope permitted by the applicable law under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated duration or scope. Whenever possible, each provision of this Section will be interpreted
in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If the Agreement is held unenforceable to any extent in any jurisdiction, such holding will not impair the enforceability of the Agreement in any other jurisdiction. 
 (f) Notice of New Engagement or Employment. MGT4VALUE and the Consultant will, while the covenants under this Section are in effect,
give written notice to the Company, within ten days after accepting any other employment, consulting, contractor or agency position, of the identity of MGT4VALUE’s or the Consultant’s employer or contracting party. During the Non-Compete
Period, the Company may notify such employer or contracting party that MGT4VALUE and the Consultant are bound by this Section and, at the Company’s election, furnish such employer or contracting party with a copy of this Section. 
 (g) Covenants Are Essential and Independent Covenants. The covenants by MGT4VALUE and the Consultant in this Section are essential
elements of this Agreement, and without MGT4VALUE’s and the Consultant’s agreement to comply with such covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement or engaged MGT4VALUE. The

  

 --12-- 








 
Company, MGT4VALUE, and the Consultant have independently consulted their respective counsel and have been advised in all respects concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants,
with specific regard to the nature of the business conducted by the Company and its Affiliates. 
 Section 6.
Indemnification. In the event MGT4VALUE or the Consultant is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action, suit, proceeding,
claim or counterclaim by the Company, any of the Tower Companies or any of their Affiliates against the Consultant) by reason of the fact that (i) MGT4VALUE or the Consultant is or was performing services under this Agreement or (ii) the
Consultant is or was an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of the Tower Companies at the direction or request of the Company, then the Company shall, and shall cause the Tower Companies to, indemnify, hold harmless and defend
MGT4VALUE and/or the Consultant against all expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by MGT4VALUE and/or the Consultant
(“Losses”), in connection therewith, provided, however, that: 
 (a) such indemnification shall not cover any
act or omission by MGT4VALUE or the Consultant not made in good faith or that results from his fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct or with respect to which MGT4VALUE or the Consultant has actual knowledge that such act or omission was
wrongful; 
 (b) the Company shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless or defend MGT4VALUE or the Consultant to the
extent that the Company’s D&O insurance actually reimburses MGT4VALUE or the Consultant for Losses, so long as MGT4VALUE and the Consultant reasonably cooperate with the Company, the Tower Companies and the provider of the D&O insurance
in connection with such D&O insurance, including, without limitation, in connection with the defense and/or prosecution of such claims and any counterclaims that may be available; 
 (c) the Company shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless or defend MGT4VALUE or the Consultant from any Losses incurred in
connection with, or otherwise related to, the breach of this Agreement or any action that would constitute Cause under this Agreement; and 
 (d) the Company shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless or defend MGT4VALUE or the Consultant for any Losses incurred or sustained by MGT4VALLTE or the Consultant to the extent that it is
determined (whether by a court of competent jurisdiction, settlement or otherwise) that such Losses (i) may not be indemnified under applicable law, or (ii) relate to liabilities or obligations that are owed by MGT4VALUE or the Consultant
to the Company, any of the Tower Companies or any of their Affiliates. 
 Unless the Board reasonably believes that MGT4VALUE or
the Consultant will ultimately not be entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall advance expenses to MGT4VALUE or the Consultant as they are incurred; provided, however, that if MGT4VALUE or the Consultant
is ultimately found not to have been

  

 --13-- 








 
entitled to indemnification hereunder, MGT4VALUE or the Consultant shall, and hereby agree to, immediately repay to the Company all amounts advanced to MGT4VALUE or the Consultant hereunder.

 Section 7. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications to any party or given under this Agreement will be in writing and delivered personally, by overnight delivery or courier, by
registered mail or by telecopier (with confirmation received) to the parties at the address or telecopy number specified for such parties on the signature pages hereto (or at such other address or telecopy number as may be specified by a party in
writing given at least five business days prior thereto). All notices, requests, demands and other communications will be deemed delivered when actually received. 
 (b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed an
original, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (c) Amendment of Agreement.
This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. 
 (d) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within such
jurisdiction, without reference to conflicts of laws provisions. 
 (e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains and
constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, of the parties hereto. 
 (f) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of
law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect. 
 (g) No Third-Party Rights. This Agreement is not intended, and will not be construed, to create any rights in any parties other than MGT4VALUE, the Consultant, and the Company, and no Person may assert any rights as third-party
beneficiary hereunder. 
 (h) Ambiguities. This Agreement was negotiated between legal counsel for the parties and any
ambiguity in this Agreement will not be construed against the party who drafted this Agreement. 
 (i) No Waiver;
Remedies. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of the right, power or privilege. A single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not
preclude any other or further exercise of the right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 
  

 --14-- 








 (j) Consultant Not to Act; Board Actions. MGT4VALUE and the Consultant agree that
they are not entitled to, and will not, exercise any rights of the Company under this Agreement or act for or on behalf of the Company under this Agreement. In addition, all actions to be taken, or rights to be exercised, by the Board pursuant to
this Agreement will be taken by a special committee of the Board consisting solely of directors other than (i) the Consultant or any of the Consultant’s immediate family members, (ii) directors that are employees or officers of the
Company or its subsidiaries, and (iii) directors that are employees, officers, directors, partners, members, managers or shareholders of any Affiliate of MGT4VALUE (other than Cerberus). 
 (k) Management of the Company. This Agreement will not limit in any way the Company’s discretion to manage its business as the
Company and the Board, in their sole discretion, sees fit; provided, however, that this provision will in no way limit or alter the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. 
 (l) Enforcement. MGT4VALUE and the Consultant hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Agreement are of a special and
unique nature, the loss of which cannot be accurately compensated for in damages by an action at law, and that the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by MGT4VALUE or the Consultant would cause the Company irreparable
harm and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by MGT4VALUE or the Consultant. Therefore, MGT4VALUE and the Consultant hereby agree that the Company will be
entitled to equitable relief, including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions (without the requirement of posting a bond, other security or any similar requirement or proving any actual damages), to prevent breaches or threatened
breaches of this Agreement by MGT4VALUE or the Consultant and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Company is or may be entitled at law or in equity.
