 Exhibit 10.1 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 

FIRST AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of September 19, 2016, to the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of June 30,
2015 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Horizon Global Corporation (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other financial
institutions or entities from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). 

W I T N E S S E T H : 
 WHEREAS,
the parties hereto are parties to the Credit Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent that it is
requesting the establishment of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section
2.21 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may obtain Incremental Term Loan Commitments by, among other things, entering into one or more Incremental Facility Agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as August 24, 2016 (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto,
collectively, as may be amended, the “Westfalia Purchase Agreement”), entered into among the Borrower, Blitz K16-102 GmbH and the certain seller parties identified therein (collectively, the “Sellers”), the
Borrower, intends, directly or indirectly, to acquire Westfalia-Automotive Holding GmbH and TeIJs Holding B.V. (collectively, the “Westfalia Group”) pursuant to the terms of the Westfalia Purchase Agreement (the “Westfalia
Acquisition”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $152,000,000
(the “2016 Incremental Term Loans”, and the commitments relating thereto, the “2016 Incremental Term Loan Commitments”) in order to finance a portion of the consideration for the Westfalia Acquisition and to finance
other payments under the Westfalia Purchase Agreement, to pay certain fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes (the transactions described above, the “Westfalia Transactions”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION
1.     DEFINITIONS.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms which are defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined. 

SECTION 2.     AMENDMENTS.  The Credit Agreement is hereby amended with the stricken text deleted
(indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and with the double-underlined text added
(indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the pages of the Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto. 
 SECTION
3.     INCREMENTAL TERM LOANS.
 3.1       Borrowing of Incremental
Term Loans.  The Lenders set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto (the “2016 Incremental Term Lenders”) hereby agree to provide the 2016 Incremental Term Loan Commitments set forth opposite their names on Schedule A, on
the terms set forth in this Amendment 








 
 2
 
  

 
and, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 below, to make 2016 Incremental Term Loans on the 2016 Incremental Funding Date (as defined below) to the Borrower in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate 2016 Incremental Term Loan Commitments of the 2016 Incremental Term Loan Lenders. Pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement, the 2016 Incremental Term Loans shall be Term B Loans for all purposes
under the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and shall, except as otherwise set forth in the Credit Agreement (after giving effect to this Amendment), have terms identical to the Initial Term B Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement
immediately prior to the date hereof. 
 3.2       Fees.  In addition to the fees set
forth in any other Loan Document (including any fee letter), if the 2016 Incremental Term Loans have not been funded within 30 days after the Effective Date, commencing on the date that is 31 days after the Effective Date and ending on the funding
of the 2016 Incremental Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to each 2016 Incremental Term Lender an unused commitment fee of 50% of the sum of (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate and (ii) the Applicable Rate on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s 2016
Incremental Term Loan Commitments as if such Commitments were made as Eurocurrency Term B Loans. 

3.3       Escrow Funding. 

(a)        If the 2016 Incremental Term Loans have not been funded within 60 days
after the Effective Date (the “Escrow Funding Event”), the 2016 Incremental Term Loans shall be funded into escrow (“Escrow Funding”) pursuant to escrow arrangements acceptable to the Administrative Agent. If
an Escrow Funding Event occurs, the Borrower agrees that (i) it shall immediately enter into any amendment to the Credit Agreement or other agreements reasonably necessary to complete the Escrow Funding, (ii) it shall, and shall cause any other
relevant person to, satisfy the conditions set forth below in Section 4.2 (except to the extent provided in Section 3.3(b) below), (iii) upon Escrow Funding, the funded amount shall accrue interest at the same rates and manner as Term B Loans
(after giving effect to this Amendment) and (iv) the Borrower shall contribute to the escrow account funds sufficient to pay interest and fees of the funded amount under the Credit Agreement during the escrow period or otherwise provide credit
support for the payment of such amount in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that the failure by the Borrower to comply with this Section 3.3 will result in (x) the termination of any 2016 Incremental
Term Commitments and (y) any 2016 Incremental Term Loans becoming immediately due and payable. 

(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon an Escrow Funding
Event, (i) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(f) and (g) (the “Acquisition Conditions”) shall not be a condition to the Escrow Funding, (ii) the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly satisfy the
Acquisition Conditions and (iii) the release from escrow of the proceeds of any Escrow Funding shall remain subject to the Acquisition Conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, the “2016 Incremental Funding Date” shall be the date on which
all of the conditions set forth in Section 4, including the Acquisition Conditions, are satisfied. 
 SECTION
4.     CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. 
 4.1       Conditions Precedent to
Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which all of the following conditions have been satisfied or waived:

have received counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by (i) the Borrower, (ii) the Required Lenders and (iii) each 2016 Incremental Term Lender (if not also a Required Lender). 








 
 3
 
  

 (b)        No
Default.  Both prior to and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Effective Date. 

(c)        Representations and Warranties.  As of the Effective Date
(both prior to and after giving effect to this Amendment) all representations and warranties contained in Section 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects. 

4.2       Conditions Precedent to Funding the 2016 Incremental Term Loans.  The 2016
Incremental Term Lenders shall make 2016 Incremental Term Loans on the date (the “2016 Incremental Funding Date”) on which all of the following conditions have been satisfied or waived: 

(a)        Legal Opinion.  The Administrative Agent shall have
received a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and dated the Effective Date) of Jones Day in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby requests such
counsel to deliver such opinions. 
 (b)        Certificates.  The
Administrative Agent shall have received such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing of each Loan Party and the authorization by the Loan
Parties of the Westfalia Transactions, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. 

(c)        Solvency Certificate.  The Administrative Agent shall have
received a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, dated the Effective Date and signed by the chief financial officer of the Borrower, certifying that it and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis
after giving effect to the Westfalia Transactions, are solvent. 

(d)        Notice of Borrowing.  The Administrative Agent shall have
received a Borrowing Request meeting the requirements of Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the 2016 Incremental Term Loans. 

(e)        No Material Adverse Effect.  Since the Signing Date (as

Agreement). 
 (f)        Consummation of Westfalia
Acquisition.  All conditions precedent to the consummation of the Westfalia Acquisition set forth in the Westfalia Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied in all material respects without any amendment or waiver thereof that
would be materially adverse to the Lenders. 
 (g)        Fees and
Expenses.  The Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the 2016 Incremental Funding Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) required to be reimbursed or paid by any Loan Party hereunder or under any Loan Document. 

(h)        KYC.  The Administrative Agent shall have received all
documentation and other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and required by regulatory authorities under applicable “Know Your Customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act,
in each case relating to the Material Target Group 








 
 4
 
  

 
Entities and to the extent requested in writing at least five business days prior to the 2016 Incremental Funding Date. 

4.3       Post-Effective Date Condition Subsequent.  The Borrower shall have consummated
the Westfalia Acquisition (the date on which the Westfalia Acquisition is consummated, the “Westfalia Acquisition Closing Date”) by 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the second Business Day following the 2016 Incremental Funding
Date. The failure by Borrower to so perform or cause to be performed this condition subsequent when required shall constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. 

For the purpose of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4, each Lender that has signed this Amendment shall be deemed to have
accepted, and to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required under this Section 4. 
 SECTION
5.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  In order to induce the Required Lenders and the 2016 Incremental Term Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Required

creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

SECTION 6.     CONTINUING EFFECT.  Except as expressly amended, waived or modified hereby, the Loan
Documents shall continue to be and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. This Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of any Loan Document not expressly referred
to herein and shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver or modification of any action on the part of the Borrower or the other Loan Parties that would require an amendment, waiver or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders except as
expressly stated herein, or be construed to indicate the willingness of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to further amend, waive or modify any provision of any Loan Document amended, waived or modified hereby for any other period,
circumstance or event. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed and are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective
terms. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Lender and the Administrative Agent reserves all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, applicable law and/or equity. Any reference to
the “Credit Agreement” in any Loan Document or any related documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and the term “Loan Documents” in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan

 SECTION 12.    HEADINGS.  Section headings used in this Amendment are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.
