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

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.

(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)

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

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

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.

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.

(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

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

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.

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

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

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)

(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;

(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.

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

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 Issuing Bank, any Bank or the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for L/C Indemnified Amounts relating to any of the following:

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 Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000. 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,

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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,

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).

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.

12.11 Collateral Matters.

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.

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.

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

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).

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)

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.
