(v)      the execution of such Request for Advance will not violate the material terms and conditions of any material contract, agreement or other borrowing of Company.
Agent, acting on behalf of the Banks, may, at its option, lend under this Section 2 upon the telephone or e-mail request of an Authorized Signer of the Company to make such requests and, in the event Agent, acting on behalf of the Banks, makes any such Advance upon a telephone or email request, the Authorized Signer shall fax or deliver by electronic file to Agent, on the same day as such telephone or email request, an executed Request for Advance. The Company hereby authorizes Agent to disburse Advances under this Section 2.3 pursuant to the telephone or e-mail instructions of any person purporting to be an Authorized Signer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that it shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone or email request. Each telephone or email request for an Advance shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Request for Revolving Credit Advance form as of the date of such requested Advance.
2.4      Disbursement of Advances.
(a)      Upon receiving any Request for Advance from Company under Section 2.3 hereof, Agent shall promptly notify each Bank by wire, telex or telephone (confirmed by wire, telecopy or telex) of the amount of such Advance to be made and the date such Advance is being requested by each Bank in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Advance. Unless such Bank’s commitment to make Advances of the Revolving Credit hereunder shall have been suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each Bank shall make available the amount of its Percentage of each Advance in immediately available funds to Agent, as follows:
(i)      for Base Rate Advances, at the office of Agent located at One Detroit Center, Detroit, Michigan 48226, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance; and

40
Detroit_3438916_18_



(ii)      for Eurodollar-based Advances, at the Agent’s Correspondent for the account of the Eurodollar Lending Office of the Agent, not later than 12 noon (the time of the Agent’s Correspondent) on the date of such Advance.
(b)      Subject to submission of an executed Request for Advance by Company without exceptions noted in the compliance certification therein, Agent shall make available to Company the aggregate of the amounts so received by it from the Banks:
(i)      for Base Rate Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance by credit to an account of Company maintained with Agent or to such other account or third party as Company may reasonably direct in writing, provided that such direction is timely given; and
(ii)      for Eurodollar-based Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (the time of the Agent’s Correspondent) on the date of such Advance, by credit to an account of Company maintained with Agent’s Correspondent or to such other account or third party as Company may reasonably direct, provided such direction is timely given.
(c)      Agent shall deliver the documents and papers received by it for the account of each Bank to such Bank or upon its order. Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the date of any proposed Advance that such Bank does not intend to make available to Agent such Bank’s Percentage of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to Agent on such date, as aforesaid. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company the amount of such payment, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Bank, as aforesaid, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank. If such Bank does not pay such amount forthwith upon Agent’s demand therefor, and Agent has, in fact, made a corresponding amount available to Company, the Agent shall promptly notify Company and Company shall pay such amount to Agent, if such notice is delivered to Company prior to 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on a Business Day, on the day such notice is received, and otherwise on the next Business Day, and such amount paid by Company shall be applied as a prepayment of the Revolving Credit (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment), reimbursing Agent for having funded said amounts on behalf of such Bank. The Company shall retain its claim against such Bank with respect to the amounts repaid by it to Agent and, if such Bank subsequently makes such amounts available to Agent, Agent shall promptly make such amounts available to the Company as an Advance of the Revolving Credit. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Bank or Company, as the case may be, but without duplication, interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Agent to Company to the date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum equal to:
(i)      in the case of such Bank, for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Advance of the Revolving Credit; and

41
Detroit_3438916_18_



(ii)      in the case of Company, the rate of interest then applicable to such Advance of the Revolving Credit.
Until such Bank has paid Agent such amount, such Bank shall have no interest in or rights with respect to such Advance for any purposes whatsoever. The obligation of any Bank to make any Advance of the Revolving Credit hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Bank to make any Advance hereunder, and no Bank shall have any liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Bank, or any other party for another Bank’s failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder.
2.5      Swing Line .

The Swing Line Bank may, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth (including without limitation Section 2.5(c) hereof), but shall not be required to, make one or more Advances (each such advance being a “Swing Line Advance”) to Company from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until (but excluding) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in an aggregate amount, in Dollars, not to exceed at any time outstanding the Swing Line Maximum Amount. Subject to the terms set forth herein, advances, repayments and readvances may be made under the Swing Line.
(b)      Accrual of Interest .
(i)      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 from time to time, including 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 made on any Swing Line Advance from time to time. The entries made in such account or accounts of Swing Line Bank shall be prima facie 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) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)      The Company agrees that, upon the written request of Swing Line Bank, the Company will execute and deliver to Swing Line Bank a Swing Line Note.
(iii)      Company unconditionally promises to pay to the Swing Line Bank the then unpaid principal amount of such Swing Line Advance (plus all accrued and unpaid interest) on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and on such other dates and in such other amounts as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Advance shall, from time to time after the date of such Advance (until paid), bear interest at its Applicable Interest Rate.

(vii)      At the option of the Agent, subject to revocation by Agent at any time and from time to time and so long as the Agent is the Swing Line Bank, Company may utilize the Agent’s “Sweep to Loan” automated system for obtaining Swing Line Advances and making periodic repayments. At any time during which the “Sweep to Loan” system is in effect, Swing Line Advances shall be advanced to fund borrowing needs pursuant to the terms of the Sweep Agreement. Each time a Swing Line Advance is made using the “Sweep to Loan” system, Company shall be deemed to have certified to the Agent and the Banks each of the matters set forth in clause (vi) of this Section 2.5(b). Principal and interest on Swing Line Advances requested, or deemed requested, pursuant to this Section shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sweep Agreement without any deduction, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever. Unless sooner paid pursuant to the provisions hereof or the provisions of the Sweep Agreement, the principal amount of the Swing Loans shall be paid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

Swing Line Bank shall promptly notify Agent of any Swing Line Advance by telephone, telex or telecopier.
(e)      Refunding of or Participation Interest in Swing Line Advances .
(i)      The Agent, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may (or, upon the request of the Swing Line Bank, shall) 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 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”). 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 Base Rate 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 on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given in immediately available funds.

45
Detroit_3438916_18_



(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 Refunded Swing Line Advance that was to have been refunded in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Refunded 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 for the benefit of the Swing Line Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to its Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Advances outstanding as of such date. Upon receipt thereof, the Agent will deliver to such Bank a participation certificate evidencing such participation.
(iii)      Each Bank’s obligation to make Advances of the Revolving Credit and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 2.5(e)(i) and (ii) shall, except in respect of any Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank more than one (1) Business Day after it has received written notice to suspend Swing Line Advances in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 2.5(e)(iii), be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) 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; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, or any other Person; (D) any breach of this Agreement by the Company or any other Person; (E) any inability of the Company to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such Advance of the Revolving Credit is to be made or such participating interest is to be purchased, (F) the termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment hereunder, or (G) 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 any (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 Section 2.5(e)(i) or (ii) hereof 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, any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent, the Swing Line Bank, or any other Bank or any other party for another Bank’s failure to make available the amounts required under Section 2.5(e)(i) or (ii) hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no Bank shall be required to make any Advances of the Revolving Credit to refund a Swing Line Advance or to purchase a participation in a Swing

46
Detroit_3438916_18_



Line Advance if at least two (2) Business Days prior to the making of the applicable Swing Line Advance by the Swing Line Bank, the officers of the Swing Line Bank immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received written notice from Agent or any Bank that Swing Line Advances should be suspended based on the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”; provided, however that the obligation of the Banks to make or refund such Advances of the Revolving Credit (or purchase a participation) shall be reinstated upon the date on which such Default or Event of Default has been cured, or has been waived by the requisite Banks, as applicable.
2.6      Base Rate Interest Payments . Interest on the unpaid balance of all Base Rate Advances of the Revolving Credit and all Swing Line Advances carried at the Base 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 Base Rate, and shall be payable in immediately available funds (a) with respect to Swing Line Advances, monthly commencing on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the calendar month during which the initial Swing Line Advance is made and on the first day of each month thereafter, and (b) with respect to Advances of the Revolving Credit, quarterly commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter next succeeding the calendar month during which the initial Advance of the Revolving Credit is made and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter. Interest accruing at the Base 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 Base Rate on the date of such change in the Base Rate.
2.7      Eurodollar-based Interest Payments and Quoted Rate Interest Payments.
(a)      Interest on each Eurodollar-based Advance of the Revolving Credit and all Swing Line Advances carried at the Eurodollar-based Rate shall accrue at its Applicable Interest Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (and, if any Interest Period shall exceed three months, then on the last Business Day of the third month of such Interest Period, and at three month intervals thereafter). Interest accruing at the Eurodollar-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to but not including the last day thereof.
(b)      Interest on each Quoted Rate Advance of the Swing Line shall accrue at its Quoted Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Interest accruing at the Quoted Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to, but not including the last day thereof.
2.8      Interest Payments on Conversions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sections, all accrued and unpaid interest on any Advance converted pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall be due and payable in full on the date such Advance is 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), 9.1(b) or 9.1(j), immediately upon the

2.10      Prepayment .
(a) Company may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any Base Rate Advance(s) under the Revolving Credit Note at any time, provided that the amount of any partial prepayment shall be at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and, after giving effect to any such partial prepayment, the aggregate balance of Base Rate Advance(s) of the Revolving Credit remaining outstanding, if any, shall be at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Company may prepay all or part of any Eurodollar-based Advance (subject to not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to Agent) only on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, provided that the amount of any such partial prepayment shall be at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and, after giving effect of any such partial prepayment, the unpaid portion of such Advance which is refunded or converted under Section 2.3 hereof shall be at least Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000).
(b)      Company may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any Swing Line Advance carried at the Base Rate at any time, provided that the amount of any partial prepayment shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and, after giving effect of any such partial prepayment, the aggregate balance of such Swing Line Advances remaining outstanding, if any, shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

2.11      Intentionally Omitted.
2.12      Base Rate Advance in Absence of Election or Upon Default .
If, (a) as to any outstanding Eurodollar-based Advance of the Revolving Credit, or any Swing Line Advance carried at the Eurodollar-based Rate or the Quoted Rate, Agent has not received payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the last day of the Interest Period

48
Detroit_3438916_18_



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) if on the last day of the applicable Interest Period a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the principal amount thereof which is not then prepaid shall, absent a contrary election of the Majority Banks, be converted automatically to a Base Rate Advance and the Agent shall thereafter promptly notify Company of said action.
2.13      Revolving Credit Facility 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 Facility Fee determined by multiplying the Applicable Fee Percentage per annum times the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment then applicable under Section 2.15 hereof (whether used or unused), computed on a daily basis. The Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing July 1, 2014 (in respect of the prior calendar quarter or portion thereof), and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and 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 Facility 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 (it being understood that such extension will not increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee payable on such later date). Upon receipt of such payment Agent shall make prompt payment to each Bank of its share of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee based upon its respective Percentage. It is expressly understood that the Revolving Credit Facility fees described in this Section shall be nonrefundable.
2.14      Mandatory Reduction of Indebtedness . If at any time and for any reason, the aggregate principal amount (without duplication) of all Advances of the Revolving Credit hereunder to the Company, plus the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding hereunder as of such time, plus the aggregate undrawn portion of any Letters of Credit which shall be outstanding, plus the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit requested but not yet issued, plus the unreimbursed amount of any draws under any Letters of Credit, as of such time exceeds the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base Limitation, in each case then applicable (as used herein, the “Excess”), the Company shall immediately reduce any pending request for an Advance on such day by the amount of the Excess, to the extent thereof and, to the extent any Excess remains thereafter, repay any Advances of the Revolving Credit or Swing Line Advances in an amount equal to the lesser of the outstanding amount of such Advances and the amount of such remaining Excess, with such amounts to be applied between the Advances of the Revolving Credit and the Swing Line Advances as determined by the Agent and then, to the extent that any Excess remains after payment in full of all Advances of the Revolving Credit and Swing Line Advances, to provide cash collateral in support of any outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations and the amount of such remaining Excess, with such cash collateral to be provided on the basis set forth in Section 9.2 hereof. 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 Company shall, in order to reduce any

49
Detroit_3438916_18_



such prepayment costs and expenses, first prepay such portion of the Indebtedness then carried as a Base Rate Advance, if any.
Compliance with this Section 2.14 shall be tested on a daily or other basis satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion. To the extent that, on the date any mandatory repayment under this Section 2.14 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 Eurodollar-based Rate and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 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 Eurodollar-based Advances, thereby avoiding breakage costs.
2.15      Optional Reduction or Termination of Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment . Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or a larger integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); (ii) each reduction shall be accompanied by the payment of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee, if any, 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 of the Revolving Credit, plus the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding hereunder, plus without duplication the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, plus without duplication the unreimbursed amount of any draws under any Letters of Credit, exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment as so reduced, together with interest thereon to the date of prepayment; (iv) if the termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment requires the prepayment of a Eurodollar-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance, the termination or reduction may be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar-based Advance or such Quoted Rate Advance; and (v) 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. Reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and any accompanying prepayments of the Revolving Credit Notes 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 the Swing Line Note 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 Base Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit, next to Swing Line Advances carried at the Base Rate, next to Eurodollar-based Advances of the

50
Detroit_3438916_18_



Revolving Credit and then to Swing Line Advances carried at the Eurodollar-based Rate or the Quoted Rate.
2.16      Revolving Credit Extension Offers .

In the event that the Issuing Bank receives such a notice, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn by Agent or such Bank or until the requisite Banks have waived such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.      PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS.
10.1      Payment Procedure.
(a)      All payments by Company of principal of, or interest on the Revolving Credit Notes or the Swing Line Notes or of Letter of Credit Obligations or Fees shall be made without setoff or counterclaim on the date specified for payment under this Agreement not later than 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) in Dollars in immediately available funds to Agent, for the ratable account of the Banks, at Agent’s office located at One Detroit Center, Detroit, Michigan 48226. Upon receipt of each such payment, the Agent shall make prompt payment to each Bank, or, in respect of Eurodollar-based Advances, such Bank’s Eurodollar Lending Office, in like funds and currencies of all amounts received by it for the account of such Bank. Any payment received by the Agent after 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
(b)      Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which any payment to be made by the Company is due that the Company does not intend to remit such payment, the Agent may, in its sole discretion 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 the 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 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 the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first two (2) Business Days that such amount remains unpaid, and thereafter at a rate of interest then applicable to Advances of the Revolving Credit.
(c)      Subject to the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1 of this Agreement, 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 the Company under this Agreement or any of the Notes to the Agent or any Bank (including without limitation payments under the Swing Line Note) shall be made without set-off or counterclaim, as aforesaid, and, except as required by

90
Detroit_3438916_18_



applicable law and subject to full compliance by each Bank (and each assignee and participant pursuant to Section 13.8) with Section 13.15, without deduction or withholding for any 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. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any such payment, the 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 such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Agent and/or such Bank or Banks (including the Swing Line Bank) 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, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, and withholdings or similar charges, together with interest and, any taxes payable upon the amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 (other than (i) any taxes on the overall income, net income, net profits, or net receipts or similar taxes (or any franchise taxes imposed in lieu of such taxes) imposed on the Agent or any Bank (or branch maintained by the Agent or any Bank) as a result of a present or former connection (including being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Bank, its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof)) between the Agent or such Bank and the Governmental Authority, political subdivision, federation or organization imposing such taxes, (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed on the Agent or any Bank by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction, (iii) any tax that is required by the Internal Revenue Code to be withheld from amounts payable to the Agent or any Bank that has failed to comply with Section 13.15 hereof, (iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is required to be imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender pursuant to the laws in force at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) except to the extent that such Foreign Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(i) hereof, or (v) any U.S. withholding tax imposed by FATCA (subsections (i) through (v), “Excluded Taxes”)). The Company shall be reimbursed by the applicable Bank for any payment made by the Company under this Section 10.1 if the applicable Bank is not in compliance with its obligations under Section 13.15 at the time of Company’s payment.
(e)      If a Bank or Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 10.1(d), it shall pay the Company an amount equal to such

91
Detroit_3438916_18_



refund (but only to the extent of the additional payments made under Section 10.1(d) with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Company, upon the request of such Bank or Agent, shall repay to such Bank or Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Bank or Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1(e), in no event will such Bank or Agent be required to pay any amount to the Company pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) the payment of which would place such Bank or Agent in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Bank or Agent would have been in if the tax giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld, or otherwise imposed and the additional amounts under Section 10.1(d) had never been paid. This Section 10.1(e) shall not be construed to require any Bank or the Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company.
10.2      Application of Proceeds . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any offsets, voluntary payments by the Company or others, the proceeds of any Collateral and any other sums received or collected in respect of the Indebtedness (net of Agent’s reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses), may, at the Agent’s discretion, and shall, upon the direction of the Majority Banks, be applied, first, to Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or under Hedging Agreements in such order and manner as determined by the Majority Banks (subject, however, to the applicable Percentages of the Revolving Credit held by each of the Banks and provided, however, that the maximum amount of those proceeds which may be applied to Indebtedness in respect of Hedging Agreements shall not exceed the maximum amount of the Hedging Reserve stated in the definition thereof), next, to any other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis, and then, if there is any excess, to the Company. The application of such proceeds and other sums to the applicable Indebtedness shall be based on each Bank’s Percentage of such Indebtedness.
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 Advances made by it or participations in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Advances held by it (or on account of its participation in any Letter of Credit) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or thereafter obtained by all Banks upon principal of and interest on all Notes (or such participation), such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Notes (or subparticipations in the Letters of Credit) held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably in accordance with the Percentages of the Revolving Credit with each of them; 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.
10.4      Treatment of a Defaulting Bank; Reallocation of a Defaulting Bank’s Fronting Exposure .

92
Detroit_3438916_18_



(a)      The obligation of any Bank to make any Advance hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Bank to make any Advance under this Agreement, and no Bank shall have any liability to Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Bank, or any other Person for another Bank’s failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder.
(b)      If any Bank shall become a Defaulting Bank, then such Defaulting Bank’s right to vote in respect of any amendment, consent or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, or to direct or approve any action or inaction by the Agent shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 13.11.
(c)      To the extent and for so long as a Bank remains a Defaulting Bank and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof, the Agent shall be entitled, without limitation, (i) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of those obligations for payment (and any related interest) in respect of which the Defaulting Bank shall be delinquent or otherwise in default to Agent or any Bank (or to hold as cash collateral for such delinquent obligations or any future defaults) the amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) if the amount of Advances made by such Defaulting Bank is less than its Percentage requires, apply payments of principal made by the Company amongst the Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis until all outstanding Advances are held by all Banks according to their respective Percentages and (iii) to bring an action or other proceeding, in law or equity, against such Defaulting Bank in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the delinquent amounts, and any related interest. Performance by Company of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section, except to the extent expressly set forth herein. Furthermore, the rights and remedies of Company, the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and the other Banks against a Defaulting Bank under this section shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies such parties may have against the Defaulting Bank under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, and the Company waive no rights or remedies against any Defaulting Bank.
(d)      If any Bank shall become a Defaulting Bank, then, for so long as such Bank remains a Defaulting Bank, any Fronting Exposure shall be reallocated by the Agent at the request of the Swing Line Bank and/or the Issuing Bank among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages of the Revolving Credit, but only to the extent that the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances of the Revolving Credit made by each Non-Defaulting Bank, plus such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations prior to giving effect to such reallocation plus such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of the Fronting Exposure to be reallocated does not exceed such Non- Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, and only so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such reallocation.
10.5      Cash Collateral
(a)      Upon the request of the Agent or Issuing Bank (i) if Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has

93
Detroit_3438916_18_



resulted in a Reimbursement Obligation under such Letter of Credit, which has not been reimbursed, or (ii) if an Event of Default exists and any Letter of Credit Obligations for any reason remain outstanding, the Company shall, in each case, immediately (and in any event within three (3) Business Days if attributable to a Defaulting Bank) deliver to the Agent cash collateral in amounts and on terms satisfactory to the Agent with respect to the Letter of Credit Obligations, then outstanding on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, immediately (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) upon the request of the Agent, Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, the Company shall deliver to the Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 10.4(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank).
(b)      All cash collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Comerica Bank. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Bank, such Bank, hereby grant to (and subjects to the control of) the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, Issuing Bank and the Banks (including Swing Line Bank), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 10.5(c). If at any time the Agent reasonably determines that all or any portion of the cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Company or the relevant Defaulting Bank will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under any of this Section 10.5 or Articles 3 or 9 or otherwise under any Loan Document in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Advances shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, Swing Line Advances, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d)      Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Bank (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 13.12)) or (ii) the Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, however, (x) that cash collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 10.5 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 10.2), and (y) the Person providing cash collateral in respect of Fronting Exposure and Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, may agree that cash collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

11.      CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS; MARGIN ADJUSTMENT.
11.1      Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs . If (i) Company makes any payment of principal with respect to any Eurodollar-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, pursuant to any mandatory provisions hereof, by acceleration, or otherwise), (ii) Company converts or refunds (or attempts to convert or refund) any such Advance; (iii) Company fails to borrow, refund or convert into any Eurodollar-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance after notice has been given by Company to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (except as described in Section 2.5(e)), or if (iv) Company fails to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Eurodollar-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance when due, Company shall reimburse Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Bank, as the case may be, on demand for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred (excluding the loss of any Applicable Margin) 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. The amount payable hereunder by Company to Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Bank, as the case may be shall be deemed equal to 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 Eurodollar-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      Eurodollar Lending Office . For any Advance to which the Eurodollar-based Rate is applicable, if Agent or a Bank, as applicable, shall designate a Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Lending Office.
11.3      Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability . If Agent or the Majority Banks (after consultation with Agent) shall determine that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts are

95
Detroit_3438916_18_



not being offered to the Agent or such Banks at the applicable LIBOR Rate, then Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to Company. Thereafter, until Agent notifies Company that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligation of Banks to make Advances which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, and the right of Company to convert an Advance to or refund an Advance as an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended and (ii) effective upon the last day of each Eurodollar-Interest Period related to any existing Eurodollar-based Advance, each such Eurodollar-based Advance shall automatically be converted into an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the Base Rate (without regard to satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein) and (iii) effective immediately following such notice, each Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted into an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the Base Rate (without regard to the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein).
11.4      Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability . If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, such Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and to the Agent. Thereafter, (a) the obligations of such affected Banks to make Advances which bear interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate and the right of the Company to convert an Advance into or refund an Advance as an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate (with respect to such Banks) shall be suspended and thereafter only the Base Rate shall be available (for Advances made by such Banks), and (b) if any of the Banks may not lawfully continue to maintain an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, the applicable Advance of such affected Banks shall immediately be converted (for such Banks) to an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the Base Rate. The foregoing shall not affect the obligations of any unaffected Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar-rate Advances.
11.5      Increased Cost of Advances Carried at the LIBOR Rate . If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserves described in Section 11.7 or any reserve reflected in the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate or the Eurodollar-based Rate) 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 Eurodollar Lending Offices) or shall impose on any of the Banks (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Advance or any of the Notes) and the result of any of the foregoing matters is to increase the costs (other than costs attributable to taxes) to any of the Banks of maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder as an Advance which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Banks under this Agreement in respect of an Advance or under the Notes which bears interest at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, then such Bank shall promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Swing Line Advance, shall notify Company directly, with a copy of such notice to Agent), and Agent (or such Bank as aforesaid) shall promptly notify Company of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such notice, Company agrees to pay to such Bank or

96
Detroit_3438916_18_



Banks such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Banks for such increased cost or reduction. Agent will promptly notify Company of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle Banks to compensation pursuant to this Section, or which will cause Company to incur additional liability under Sections 11.1 and 11.7 hereof, provided that Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Banks or Company in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of Agent (or such Bank, if applicable) setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or Banks, the methodology for each calculation and the calculations thereof in reasonable detail, which certificate shall be prepared in good faith and shall accompany such demand and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required to compensate any Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Bank or Issuing Bank notifies the Company that it is claiming compensation hereunder based on a Change in Law (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such claim for compensation is retroactive, then the one hundred and eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
11.6      Intentionally Omitted.
11.7      Capital Adequacy; Other Increased Costs . If any Change in Law affects the capital or the liquidity required to be maintained by a Bank or the Agent (or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Agent) and such Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, determines the effect of such Change in Law is to reduce the rate of return on such Bank’s or the 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 the Agent (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Bank or the Agent to be material (collectively, “Increased Costs”), then the Agent or such Bank shall notify the Company, and thereafter the Company shall pay to such Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor from such Bank or the Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Agent (or such controlling corporation) for any such reduced rate of return which such Bank or the Agent reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s or the Agent’s obligations or Advances hereunder, including without limitation any obligations in respect of Letters of Credit. 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 the Agent, as the case may be, shall be submitted by such Bank or by the Agent to the Company, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described in this Section 11.7 and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct, absent manifest error.
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.

97
Detroit_3438916_18_



11.9      Adjustments to the Applicable Fee Percentage for Revolving Credit Facility Fee . Adjustments to the Applicable Fee Percentages, based on Revolving Credit Outstandings as set forth on Schedule 1.1, shall be implemented on a quarterly basis as follows:
(c)      For the quarter ending June 30, 2014 based on the average daily amount of all outstanding Advances (including Swing Line Advances) and Letter of Credit Obligations for the period commencing on April 1, 2014 and ending on the last day of such quarter.
(d)      For each quarter thereafter the average daily amount of all outstanding Advances (including Swing Line Advances) and Letter of Credit Obligations for the period commencing on the first day of such quarter and ending on the last day of such quarter.
12.      AGENT
12.1      Appointment of Agent . Each Bank and the holder of each Note appoints and irrevocably authorizes 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 or required of 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 the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 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) 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 expenses resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful 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 willful misconduct). If any indemnity furnished to Agent shall become impaired or Agent shall elect to have such indemnity confirmed by the Banks (as to specific matters or otherwise), in each case as determined by Agent in its reasonable judgment, Agent shall give notice thereof to each Bank and, until such additional indemnity is provided or such existing indemnity is confirmed, Agent may cease to do the acts to be indemnified against until such additional indemnity is given or confirmed.
12.2      Deposit Account with Agent . Company hereby authorizes Agent to charge its general deposit account, if any, maintained with Agent for the amount of any principal, interest, or other amounts or costs due under this Agreement when the same becomes due and payable under the terms of this Agreement or the Notes.

98
Detroit_3438916_18_



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 willful misconduct or gross negligence), nor be responsible for or have any duties to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any recitals or warranties 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 or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (d) the satisfaction of any condition hereunder or thereunder, including without limitation in connection with the making of any Advance or the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which it believes to be genuine (“Successor Agent”) and to have been sent by 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, 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 Agents . 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 a Successor Agent (satisfactory to such Majority Banks, and provided no Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(j) has occurred and is continuing or any other Event of Default has occurred and has continued for ten (10) Business Days, with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided, however, that any such successor Agent shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or an Affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Such Successor Agent shall thereupon become the Agent hereunder, as applicable, and Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any Successor Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such Successor Agent may reasonably request. If a Successor Agent 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 retiring 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

99
Detroit_3438916_18_



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 hereunder, except for its gross negligence or willful 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      Loans by Agent: Agent in its Individual Capacity . Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the credit extended by it and the Notes held by it as any Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and the term “Bank” and, when appropriate, “holder” shall include Agent in its individual capacity. Agent and its affiliates 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, investment, risk management or other business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as if it were not acting as the Agent hereunder, and may accept interest, fees and other consideration therefor without having to account for the same to the Banks.
12.6      Credit Decisions . Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently of Agent and each other Bank and based on the financial statements of Company and the Subsidiaries 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, any Loan Document or any other document executed pursuant hereto.
12.7      Notices by Agent . Agent shall give prompt notice to each Bank of its receipt of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to Agent by Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall promptly distribute to the Banks any reports received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the terms hereof, or other material information or documents received by Agent, in its capacity as Agent, from the Company or its Subsidiaries.
12.8      Agent’s Fees . Until the Indebtedness has been repaid and discharged in full, and no commitment to extend any credit hereunder is outstanding, the Company shall pay to Agent and discharge in full, agency and other fees set forth (or to be set forth from time to time) in the applicable Fee Letter, such fees to be payable on the terms set forth therein. The Agent’s fees described in this Section 12.8 shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
12.9      Nature of Agency . The appointment of Agent as agent is for the convenience of Banks and Company in making Advances of the Revolving Credit or any other Indebtedness of Company hereunder, and collecting fees and principal and interest on the Indebtedness. No Bank is purchasing any Indebtedness from Agent and this Agreement is not intended to be a purchase or participation agreement.
12.10      Authority of Agent to Enforce Notes and This Agreement . Each Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any required approval

100
Detroit_3438916_18_



or direction of the Majority Banks or the Banks, as applicable, to be obtained by or given to the Agent hereunder), 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 the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or its 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.
12.11      Indemnification . The Banks agree (which agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement) to indemnify the Agent and its Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company but without limiting any obligations of Company to make such reimbursement) ratably according to their respective Percentages, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent or its Affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby 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 any of the foregoing items resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any of its officers, employees, directors or agents. 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 outside 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 are 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 are subsequently reimbursed by Company for such amounts, they 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 become impaired as determined, in the Agent’s reasonable judgment or Agent shall elect on its sole discretion to have such indemnity confirmed by the Banks (as to specific matters or otherwise). Agent shall give notice thereof to each Bank and, until such additional indemnity is provided or such existing indemnity is confirmed, the Agent may cease, or not commence, to take any action. Any amounts paid by the Banks hereunder to the Agent or its Affiliates shall be deemed to constitute part of the Indebtedness hereunder.
12.12      Knowledge of Default . It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent (whether in its capacity as Issuing Bank, Swing Line Bank or otherwise) shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of the Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received written notice

101
Detroit_3438916_18_



from a Bank or the Company specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Upon receiving such a notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such Default or 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). The Agent shall also furnish the Banks, promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information required to be provided by Company hereunder.
12.13      Agent’s Authorization; Action by Banks . Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever the Agent is authorized and empowered hereunder on behalf of the Banks to give any approval or consent, or to make any request, or to take any other action, on behalf of the Banks (including without limitation the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents), the Agent shall be required to give such approval or consent, or to make such request or to take such other action only when so requested in writing by the Majority Banks or the Banks, as applicable hereunder. Action that may be taken by Majority Banks or all of the Banks, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder), may be taken (i) pursuant to a vote of the requisite percentage of the Banks as required hereunder at a meeting (which may be held by telephone conference call) provided that Agent exercises good faith, diligent efforts to give all of the Banks reasonable advance notice of the meeting, 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.
12.14      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 reasonable judgment of the Agent, such action or omission may expose the Agent to personal liability for which Agent has not been satisfactorily indemnified hereunder 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.
12.15      Lead Arranger; Documentation Agent, Co-Agent or other Titles . Any Bank identified on the facing page or signature page of this Agreement or in any amendment hereto or as designated with consent of the Agent in any assignment agreement as Lead Arranger, Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent, Co-Agent or any similar titles, shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement as a result of such title other than those applicable to the Banks as such; provided, however, that such identified Banks shall be entitled to the benefits afforded to Agent under Sections 12.5, 12.6 and 12.11 hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Banks so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank as a result of such title. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Bank so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

102
Detroit_3438916_18_



12.16      Collateral Matters . (a) The Collateral Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Banks, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Banks (but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement), from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (b) the Banks irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion (but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement), (1) to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and payment in full of all Indebtedness payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (ii) constituting property (including, without limitation, Equity Interests in any Person) sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction and including the property of any Subsidiary that is disposed of as permitted hereby) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement not otherwise prohibited hereunder; (iii) constituting property in which Company or any Subsidiary owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Banks or all the Banks, as the case may be, as provided in Section 13.11, (2) to subordinate the Lien granted to or held by Collateral Agent on any Collateral to any other holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by Section 8.6(b) hereof, and (3) if all of the Equity Interests held by the Company and its Subsidiaries in any Person are sold or transferred to any transferee other than Company or a subsidiary of Company as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to release such Person from all of its obligations under the Loan Documents (including without limitation under any Guaranty) and to release all Liens on the assets and properties of the Person whose Equity Interests are so sold securing all or any portion of the Indebtedness, and, in each case, to execute and deliver to the Company and its Subsidiaries such documents as may be necessary to evidence any such release. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Banks will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.16(b).
12.17      No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program .
(a)      Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that neither such Bank, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Bank’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (i) any identify verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) any comparisons with government lists, (iv) any customer notices or (v) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

(a)      This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and the Banks and their respective successors and assigns.
(b)      The foregoing shall not authorize any assignment by Company of its rights or duties hereunder, and, except as otherwise provided herein, no such assignment shall be made (or be effective) without the prior written approval of the Banks.

108
Detroit_3438916_18_



with the interest so assigned. From and after the effective date of each Assignment Agreement that satisfies the requirements of this Section 13.8, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement, such assignee shall have (to the extent of the assigned interest) the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the right to receive fees payable hereunder in respect of the period following such assignment) and the assigning Bank shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (to the extent of the assigned interest).
Upon request, Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assignee in an amount of the Revolving Commitment equal to the amount assigned to the assigning Bank pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, and with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness retained by the assigning Bank, to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving Commitment retained by such Bank hereunder.

In addition, promptly following receipt of such Notes, Agent shall prepare and distribute to Company, and each of the Banks a revised Schedule 1.2 to this Agreement setting forth the applicable new Percentages of the Banks (including the assignee Bank), taking into account such assignment.
(e)      The Company and the Agent acknowledge that each of the Banks may at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, grant participations in such Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person (other than a natural person or to Company or any of Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and any participation permitted hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be subject to a participation agreement that incorporates the following restrictions:

(ii)      a participant shall not reassign or transfer, or grant any sub-participations in its participation interest hereunder or any part thereof; and
(iii)      such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to proceed against any Guarantors, or cause the Agent to do so (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without the consent of the participant (unless such participant is an Affiliate of such Bank), except for those matters requiring the consent of each of

109
Detroit_3438916_18_



the Banks under Section 13.11 (provided that a participant may exercise approval rights over such matters only on an indirect basis, acting through such Bank and the Company, its Subsidiaries, Agent and the other Banks may continue to deal directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and duties hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the case of any participation granted by any Bank hereunder, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents against the Agent, any other Bank or any of the Company and its Subsidiaries and all amounts payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation; provided, however that the participant may have rights against such Bank in respect of such participation as may be set forth in the applicable participation agreement. Each such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (d) of this Section, provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such the provisions of Article 11 than the Bank selling such participation would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such issuing Bank to such participant had no such transfer occurred and each such participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7 hereof as though it were a Bank, provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.3 hereof as though it were a Bank; and provided, further that any participant must exercise its rights through the Bank selling such participation, and may not proceed directly against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and
(iv)      each participant shall provide the relevant tax form required under Section 13.15.
(f)      Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.
(g)      The Agent shall (acting as non fiduciary agent for the Company, solely for purposes of this Section 13.8) maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, the Percentages of such Banks and the principal amount of each type of Advance owing to each such Bank from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, and the Company, the Agent, and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Bank (but only with respect to any entry relating to such Bank’s Percentages and the principal amounts owing to such Bank) upon reasonable notice to the Agent and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party on their prior written request. The Agent shall give prompt written notice to the Company of the making of any entry in the Register or any change in such entry.

110
Detroit_3438916_18_



(h)      Each Bank that sells a participation shall (acting as non-fiduciary agent for the Company, solely for purposes of this Section 13.8) maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each participant’s interest in each type of Advance or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(i)      Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any prospective assignee or participant which has satisfied the requirements hereunder, any and all financial information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement, provided that each such prospective assignee or participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of Section 13.13 hereof or shall otherwise agree to be bound by the terms thereof.
(j)      Nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees and participants permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents.
13.9      Indulgence . No delay or failure of Agent and the Banks in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights of Agent and the Banks hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Agent and the Banks would otherwise have.
13.10      Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each executed copy shall constitute an original instrument, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

All references in this Agreement to “Banks” or “the Banks” shall refer to all Banks, unless expressly stated to refer to Majority Banks.
(b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove of any amendment, consent, waiver or any other modification to any Loan Document (and all amendments, consents, waivers and other modifications may be effected without the consent of the Defaulting Banks), except that the foregoing shall not permit, in each case without such Defaulting Bank’s consent, (i) an increase in such Defaulting Bank’s stated commitment amounts, (ii) the waiver, forgiveness or reduction of the principal amount of any Indebtedness owing to such Defaulting Bank (unless all other Banks affected thereby are treated similarly), (iii) the extension of the final maturity date(s) of such Defaulting Banks’ portion of any of the Indebtedness or the extension of any commitment to extend credit of such Defaulting Bank, or (iv) any other modification which requires the consent of all Banks or the Bank(s) affected thereby which affects such Defaulting Bank more adversely than the other affected Banks (other than a modification which results in a reduction of such

112

Defaulting Bank’s Percentage of any Commitments or repayment of any amounts owing to such Defaulting Bank on a non pro-rata basis).
(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; provided that (x) prior written notice of proposed cure shall be given to the Banks and (y) the Majority Banks do not object to such cure in writing to the Agent within five Business Days of such notice.

expense, require the Affected Bank to sell and assign all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its Commitments, to an assignee (which may be one or more of the Banks) (such assignee shall be referred to herein as the “Purchasing Bank” or “Purchasing Banks”) within two (2) Business Days after receiving notice from the Company requiring it to do so, for an aggregate price equal to the sum of the portion of all Advances made by it, interest and fees accrued for its account through but excluding the date of such payment, and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Purchasing Bank(s) (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts, including without limitation, if demanded by the Affected Bank, the amount of any compensation that due to the Affected Bank under Sections 3.4(b), 11.1, 11.5 and 11.7 to but excluding said date), payable (in immediately available funds) in cash. The Affected Bank, as assignor, such Purchasing Bank, as assignee, the 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 Revolving Credit Percentage equal to its ratable share of the then applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment of the Affected Bank, provided, however, that if the Affected Bank does not execute such Assignment Agreement within (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, the Agent may execute the Assignment Agreement as the Affected Bank’s attorney-in-fact. Each of the Banks hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in the name of such Bank or in its own name to execute and deliver the Assignment Agreement while such Bank is an Affected Bank hereunder (such power of attorney to be deemed coupled with an interest and irrevocable). In connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.14, the Company or the Purchasing Bank shall pay to the Agent the administrative fee for processing such assignment referred to in Section 13.8.
(b)      If any Bank is an Affected Bank of the type described in Section 13.12(a)(iii) and (iv) (any such Bank, a “Non-Compliant Bank”), the Company may, with the prior written consent of the Agent, and notwithstanding Section 10.3 of this Agreement or any other provisions requiring pro rata payments to the Banks, elect to reduce any Commitments by an amount equal to the Non-Compliant Bank’s Percentage of the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank and repay such Non-Compliant Bank an amount equal the principal amount of all Advances owing to it, all interest and fees accrued for its account through but excluding the date of such repayment, and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including without limitation, if demanded by the Non-Compliant Bank, the amount of any compensation that due to the Non-Compliant Bank under Sections 3.4(b), 11.1, 11.5 and 11.7 to but excluding said date), payable (in immediately available funds) in cash, so long as, after giving effect to the termination of Commitments and the repayments described in this clause (b), any Fronting Exposure of such Non-Compliant Bank shall be reallocated among the Banks that are not Non-Compliant Banks in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages, but only to the extent that the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances of the Revolving Credit made by each such Bank, plus such Bank’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations prior to giving effect to such reallocation plus such Bank’s Percentage of the Fronting Exposure to be reallocated does not exceed such Bank’s Percentage of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, and with respect to any portion of the Fronting Exposure that may not

Detroit_3438916_18_



be reallocated, the Company shall deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and/or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, cash collateral or other security satisfactory to the Agent, with respect any such remaining Fronting Exposure.
13.15      Withholding Taxes .
(a)      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 or prior to its accepting any assignment under Section 13.8 hereof, as applicable, or as reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent) deliver to the Agent and the Company 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 and the Company 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 and the Company the aforesaid forms or other evidence with respect to Advances to the Company, if such Bank has assigned its entire interest hereunder (including its Revolving Credit Commitment Amount, any outstanding Advances hereunder and participations in Letters of Credit issued hereunder and any Notes issued to it by the Company), 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 and the Company and such assignee has properly complied with Section 13.15(b) hereof. Promptly upon notice from the Agent or the Company 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 (other than withholding in respect of Excluded Taxes) from such payments over the aggregate amount actually withheld by the Agent. In addition, from time to time upon the reasonable request 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 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).
(b)      Any Bank (or assignee or participant permitted under Section 13.8) that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall promptly (but in any event prior to the initial payment of interest hereunder or prior to its accepting any assignment under Section 13.8 hereof, as applicable or as reasonably requested by the Agent or the Company) deliver to the Agent and the Company two properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Agent or the Company as will enable the Agent or the Company, as

115
Detroit_3438916_18_



the case may be, to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
(c)      If any payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to United States withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Internal Revenue Code Section 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable) the Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such documentation prescribed by law (including as prescribed by Internal Revenue Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 13.15(c), the term "FATCA" shall include any amendments to FATCA after the Effective Date.
(d)      Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section13.15 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification promptly or notify the Company and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
13.16      Effective Upon Execution . This Agreement shall become effective upon the later of the Effective Date and the execution hereof by Banks, Agent and the Company, and the issuance by the Company of the Revolving Credit Notes and the Swing Line Notes hereunder, and shall remain effective until the Indebtedness has been repaid and discharged in full and no commitment to extend any credit hereunder remains outstanding.
13.17      Severability . In case any one or more of the obligations of the 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 the 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 the Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents in any other jurisdiction.
13.18      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 and references herein to “sections,” “subsections,” “clauses,” “paragraphs,” “subparagraphs,” “exhibits” and “schedules” shall be to sections, subsections, clauses, paragraphs, subparagraphs, exhibits and schedules, respectively, of this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided herein or unless the context otherwise clearly indicates.
13.19      Construction of Certain Provisions . If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other 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.

116

13.20      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 if such action is taken or such condition exists.

13.22      Complete Agreement; Amendment and Restatement; Contracts . This Agreement, the Notes, any Requests for Advance or Letters of Credit hereunder, the other Loan Documents and any agreements, certificates, or other documents given to secure the Indebtedness, 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 and restatement of the Prior Credit Agreement, which Prior Credit Agreement is fully superseded and amended and restated in its entirety hereby; provided, however, that the Indebtedness governed by the Prior Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect and provided further that this Agreement does not constitute a novation of such Indebtedness. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Agreement shall govern.

On February 1, 2013, six Dealers, who had previously commenced a putative consolidated arbitration proceeding against the Company before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") that was deemed not properly filed by the AAA on October 9, 2012, filed individual arbitrations against the Company before the AAA in Southfield, Michigan. These arbitration demands seek unspecified money damages for claims relating to the Dealer servicing agreements of these Dealers. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these arbitrations.

Schedule 8.2
Service Program Activities
The Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary has entered into reinsurance agreements with ceding insurers for Credit Acceptance Corporation's vehicle service contract programs. Under these arrangements, the Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary assumes 100% of the service contract liability and receives 100% of the net premium. The net premium paid to the Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary becomes part of the Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary's asset base and the assets are titled in the Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary's name. However, insurance regulations prevent the Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary from simply holding the Reserves on its balance sheet. Rather, the Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary must have collateral with the ceding insurer equal to the ceded reserves. To do this, the Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary may either create a reinsurance trust account, as the grantor, whereby it would deposit the ceded reserves for the benefit of the ceding insurer or alternatively, the Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary may deliver a Letter of Credit (LOC) to the ceding insurer in the amount of the ceded reserves and keep its assets in its own hands. The Domestic Reinsurance Subsidiary currently utilizes a trust account structure for both reinsurance agreements.

a. Unless otherwise agreed by each Authorized Representative, payment of the Subordinated Debt is and shall be expressly subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, and the Subordinated Debt is hereby so subordinated as a claim against each Obligor or any of the assets of such Obligor, whether such claim be (i) in the event of any distribution of the assets of such Obligor

d. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such Reorganization, any payment or distribution of the assets of any Obligor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Holder in respect of this Subordinated Note before all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the Senior Creditors and shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt until all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash.

h. Each Obligor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever. The non-exercise by any Senior Creditor of any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance.
i. The subordination provisions contained herein are for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and their respective successors and assigns and may not (so long as any Senior Debt (or any commitment to provide any Senior Debt) is then outstanding) be rescinded or cancelled or modified in any way without the prior written consent of each Authorized Representative.

Each of the Obligors and each of the Holders confirms that this Subordinated Note constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

8. Amendments.

CREDIT ACCEPTANCE ANNOUNCES
EXTENSION OF REVOLVING SECURED LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY


Southfield, Michigan – June 23, 2014 – Credit Acceptance Corporation (NASDAQ: CACC) (referred to as the “Company”, “Credit Acceptance”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) announced today that we have extended the maturity of our credit facility with a commercial bank syndicate from June 23, 2016 to June 23, 2017.

There were no material changes to the terms of the facility. The credit facility continues to be secured by a lien on most of our assets. As of June 23, 2014, we had $90.1 million outstanding under the facility.

Description of Credit Acceptance Corporation

Since 1972, Credit Acceptance has offered automobile dealers financing programs that enable them to sell vehicles to consumers, regardless of their credit history. Our financing programs are offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our product, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing.

Without our financing programs, consumers are often unable to purchase a vehicle or they purchase an unreliable one. Further, as we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, an important ancillary benefit of our programs is that we provide a significant number of our consumers with an opportunity to improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing. Credit Acceptance is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol CACC. For more information, visit creditacceptance.com .
