select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the initial Borrowing hereunder or for
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement

reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to

Lenders ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subSection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and
to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for

repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the
case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent
such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Advance as part of
such Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.
(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance or make available on the date of
such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the
Advance to be made by it.

. The Borrower may on any
Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York

the provisions of Section 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type comprising

provided
,
however
, that any
Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day
of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in

Advance.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest

DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
38
Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended.
Section 2.10
Increased Costs, Etc
. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or
any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having
the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or of
making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section
2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12
shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross
income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such
Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof),
then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand
to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost;
provided
,
however
, that a Lender claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in
the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate
as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of
law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased
by or based upon the existence of such Lenders commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments
of such type, then, upon demand by such Lender or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to
the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender
reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lenders
commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such
Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the
Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not
adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate
Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower
and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last
day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the
obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have
determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
39
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central
bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or
to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and
demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and
(ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has
determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist;
provided
,
however
, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts
(consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or
its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment
of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
Section 2.11
Payments and Computations
.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any
right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York, New York time) on the day when due (or, in the case of payments made by a
Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.01, on the date of demand therefor) in U.S. dollars to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agents Account in same day funds. The Administrative
Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the
Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable
hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender, to such Lenders for the account of their
respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective
Obligations then payable to such Lenders and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of
any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information
contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date
of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and
under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and
the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such
payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the
Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances to
which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but
shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender ratably in accordance with
such Lenders proportionate share of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances, in repayment
or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender, and for
application to such principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
40
(c) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such
Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such
Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers accounts with such Lender
any amount so due. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any
such setoff and application shall be made by such Lender;
provided
,
however
, that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such charge.
(d) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate, of fees shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all
computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by
the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of
days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such
interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
(e) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
commitment fee, as the case may be;
provided
,
however
, that, if such extension
would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next
following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to
the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender
repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
Section 2.12
Taxes
. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all payments by
any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11 or the applicable provisions of such other
Loan Document, if any, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and each Agent, (x) taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings that are imposed on or measured by its overall net income and
franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof by the United States of America or by the state or foreign
jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof under the laws of which such Lender or such
Agent, as the case may be, is organized or, in the case of each Lender, such Lenders Applicable
Lending Office is located or (y) any branch profit taxes imposed by the
|

|
41
United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which such
Applicable Lending Office is located (all such non excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings being hereinafter referred to as
Taxes
). If any Loan Party shall
be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any
other Loan Document to any Lender or any Agent, subject to Section 2.12(f), (i) the sum payable by
such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party and the
Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
such Loan Party shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise,
property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any
payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as
Other Taxes
).
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender and each
Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or
paid by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties,
additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, but
excluding penalties, interest or other expenses to the extent attributable to the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Person claiming such indemnity. This indemnification shall be made
within 30 days from the date such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand
therefor, which written demand shall be accompanied by copies of the applicable documentation
evidencing the amount of such taxes.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the appropriate Loan Party shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued
therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or
on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf
of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Loan Party determines that
no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall cause such payor
to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections
(d) and (e) of this Section 2.12, the terms United States person shall have the meanings
specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on
or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial
Lender, on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the
case of each other Lender, and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law,

|
42
or from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only
so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the
Administrative Agent and Borrower with two original properly completed Internal Revenue Service
Forms W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate
of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
or, in the case of a Lender that is relying on the portfolio interest exemption, certifying that
such Lender is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a
Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States
interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered
excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a
lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered
excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the
effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender becomes a party to this
Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subSection (a) of this Section 2.12
in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to
such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in
the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any,
applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to
in this subSection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to
compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-8ECI or any successor, or the related certificate described above, that the
applicable Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to
the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential
information.
(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the
appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) above (other than if
such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring
after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be
provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection
(e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to increased payment or indemnification under
subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.12 with respect to taxes imposed by the United States by
reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to taxes because of
its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Loan Parties
shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such
taxes.
(g) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually and finally
realized by reason of the refund of or credit against any Taxes paid or reimbursed by any Loan
Party pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under the Loan Documents, a
current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained, and that would result in the
total payments under this Section 2.12 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender whole, such
Lender shall pay to the Borrower or other Loan Party, as the case may be, with reasonable
promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an

43
amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, net of
all out-of-pocket expenses in securing such refund.
Section 2.13
Sharing of Payments, Etc
. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any
payment, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise
(other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07), (a) on account of Obligations due and
payable to such Lender hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share
(according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender
at such time (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07) to (ii) the aggregate
amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such
time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under
the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) on account of Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the Notes at such time (other
than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07) in excess of its ratable share (according to
the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time (other than
pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07) to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of
payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and
under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, such Lender shall
forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Obligations due and payable or
owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share
the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of
such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each
other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the
purchase price to the extent of such Lenders ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the
purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of
such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lenders ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lenders required repayment to (ii) the total amount so
recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender
so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.14
Use of Proceeds
.
(a) The proceeds of the Advances shall be utilized to (i) refinance certain Debt of Dana

Section 2.15
Defaulting Lenders
. (a) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender
shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to the
Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any other
Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the
Borrower to make such payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the
obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on any
date, the Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make any such payment
against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to
such date, the amount so set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made
on the date under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to
have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of
this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance
was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the other Advances
comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate Advances on the date such Advance is deemed to
be made pursuant to this subSection (a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any
time the Borrower exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this subSection (a) and shall set
forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be
made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such
Defaulted Advance pursuant to this subSection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required
to be made by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the
Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower pursuant
to this subSection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subSection (b)
or (c) of this Section 2.15.
(b) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such
Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to the Administrative Agent or any of the other
Lenders and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent
may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Lenders and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrower to or for the account of such
Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such
Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the
payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the Administrative Agent
shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such
extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative
Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the Administrative Agent to
such other Lenders, ratably in accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts
payable at such time to the
|

Administrative Agent and such other Lenders and, if the amount of such payment made by the
Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any Defaulted Amount then owing to the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent; and
(ii) second, to any Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such Lenders,
ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such Lenders.
Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender
remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
subsection (b), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this
Section 2.15.
(c) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such
Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall be required to pay or distribute any amount
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then
the Borrower or such other Lender shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be held by
the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the
Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such
amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under this
subSection (c) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with Citibank, N.A., in
the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this
subSection (c). The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable with
respect to the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall be Citibank, N.A.s standard
terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account from
time to time shall be held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the
Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this subSection (c).
The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds
so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Advances required to be
made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, as and when
such Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall
at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Advances and amounts required to be made or
paid at such time, in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any amount then due and payable by such
Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder in its capacity as Administrative
Agent;
(ii) second, to any Lenders for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting
Lender to such Lenders hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then
due and payable to such Lenders; and

|

|
|

|
46
(iii) third, to the Borrower for any Advance then required to be made by such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.
In the event that any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a
Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect
to such Lender shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender and applied by such
Lender to the Obligations owing to such Lender at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such
time.
(d) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are in
addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender
with respect to any Defaulted Advance and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.
Section 2.16
Evidence of Debt
. The Advances made by each Lender shall be evidenced by
one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and
each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Advances made by the
Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any
error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower
hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict
between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lenders Advances in addition to such
accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date,
amount and maturity of its Advances and payments with respect thereto.

compensation from the Borrowers under Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes or with
respect to increased costs or capital or under Section 2.10 or other additional costs incurred by

ARTICLE VII
THE AGENTS
Section 7.01
Appointment and Authorization of the Agents
. (a) Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each of the Agents to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan
Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
75
set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the
use of the term agent herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not
intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.
(b) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. hereby appoints Citicorp USA, Inc. to act as collateral
agent or as administrative agent solely for the purpose of negotiating, executing, accepting
delivery of and otherwise acting pursuant to collateral access agreements, or any other similar
agreement.
Section 7.02
Delegation of Duties
.
(a) Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and
other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Without limitation of the provisions of Section 7.02(a), it is the purpose of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any
jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact
business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the
enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Collateral Agent deems that by reason of
any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or
remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be
desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Collateral Agent
appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral
agent, collateral sub-agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution
being referred to herein as a
Supplemental Collateral Agent
).
(c) In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with
respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended
by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to
the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such
Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such
Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such
Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and
obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by
such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
76
either the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of
this Article and of Section 10.04 that refer to the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of
such Supplemental Collateral Agent and all references therein to the Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the
context may require.
(d) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Loan Party shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent.
In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental
Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Collateral
Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.
Section 7.03
Liability of Agents
.
(a) The Administrative Agents duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely
ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take
any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or
refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion
of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that
is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.
(b) No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in
connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any
Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party
or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under
or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any
failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or
participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative
Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons to carry out any know your
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
77
customer or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender
confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is
required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by
the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons.
Section 7.04
Reliance by Agents
. (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution,
representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or
telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent
accountants and other experts selected by such Agent, as applicable. Each Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so
requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of
the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any
instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.01, each
Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or
to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or
approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the relevant Agent or Agents shall
have received notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
Section 7.05
Notice of Default
. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal,
interest and fees required to be paid to any Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless such
Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default and stating that such notice is a Notice of Default. The Administrative
Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent, in
consultation with the Initial Lenders, shall take such action with respect to such Default as may
be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VI;
provided
,
however
, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, it
may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, in each
case, in consultation with the Initial Lenders, with respect to such Default as it shall deem
advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
Section 7.06
Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents
. Each Lender
acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that
no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
78
matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their
possession. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to
extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to
make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except
for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any
Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective
Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
Section 7.07
Indemnification of Agents
. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the
extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any
Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any
and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it;
provided
,
however
, that no Lender
shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Persons own gross negligence or
willful misconduct;
provided
,
however
, that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall
reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by any Agent 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, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or
referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on
behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the
Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of each of the Agents. In
the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section
7.07 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Lender, its directors, shareholders or creditors and whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business
with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though CUSA, CGMI, LBI and
Barclays, as the case may be, were not an Agent hereunder, as the case may be, and without notice
to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, each of
CUSA, CGMI, LBI and Barclays and each of their respective Affiliates may receive information
regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that
each of CUSA, CGMI, LBI and Barclays and their respective Affiliates shall be under no obligation
to provide such information to them. With respect to its Advances, each of CUSA, CGMI, LBI and
Barclays and their respective Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement
as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent, and the
terms Lender and Lenders include CUSA, CGMI, LBI and Barclays in its individual capacity.

and its Affiliates (collectively, the

) are engaged in a wide range of
financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading,
corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively
referred to in this Section 7.08(b) as
Activities
) and may engage in the Activities with
or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the
Agents Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or
undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the
Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of
others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective
Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities,
loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each
Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agents Group may receive or
otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information
concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that
are not members of the Agents Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the
Agents Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and
shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or
derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan
Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in
connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise
make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be
transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agents
Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now
have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of
any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
80
of the Agents Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the
Administrative Agent being a member of the Agents Group, and that each member of the Agents Group
may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None
of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agents Group of
information (including Communications) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including
information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any
fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or
confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agents Group to any Lender
including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agents Group from acting on behalf of
customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.
Section 7.09
Successor Agent
. Each Agent may resign from acting in such capacity upon
30 days notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If an Agent resigns under this Agreement, the
Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no
successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of such Agent, such
Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor agent from among the Lenders.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such
successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the
term Agent shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agents appointment, powers and
duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agents resignation hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Article VII and Section 10.04 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent
has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agents notice
of resignation, the retiring Agents resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
Section 7.10
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim
. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any
demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file
such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders
and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.08 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and

Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and
10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE VIII
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY
Section 8.01
Subsidiary Guaranty
. Each Guarantor, severally, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees (the undertaking by each Guarantor under this Article VIII being the
Guaranty
) the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or at a date fixed
for prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all of the Obligations of each of the
other Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or
all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether
for principal, interest, premium, fees, indemnification payments, contract causes of action, costs,
expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the

incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties solely in enforcing any
rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantors

be owed by any of the other Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured
Parties under or in respect of the Loan

Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence
of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.
Section 8.02
Guaranty Absolute

Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of
any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto.
The Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations

Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the
Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its
rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 10.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event
arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning
Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender assignor thereunder
and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and
hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the
perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or
in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or
observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has
received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in
Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee
confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to
take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan
Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers
and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement
are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose (but only for this purpose) as the agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
94
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment under each Facility
of, and principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender from time to
time (the
Register
). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Agent or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent
shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof and a copy of such Assignment and
Acceptance to the Borrower and each other Agent. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within
five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes (if
any) a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed
by it under each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender
that had a Note or Notes prior to such assignment has retained a Commitment hereunder under such
Facility, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment
retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the effective date of such
Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, as
the case may be.
(f) [Reserved].
(g) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan Party or
any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and
any Note or Notes held by it);
provided
,
however
, that (i) such Lenders
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all
purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations
under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to
approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent
would reduce the principal of, or interest (other than default interest) on, the Advances or any
fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation,
postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees
or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or
release a substantial portion of the value of the Collateral or the value of the Guaranties and
(vi) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 2.12 to
the same extent as if they were a Lender but, with respect to any particular participant, to no
greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant and only if such
participant agrees to comply with Section 2.12(e) as though it were a Lender.
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
95
(h) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment
or participation pursuant to this Section 10.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or
proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender
by or on behalf of the Borrower;
provided
,
however
, that, prior to any such
disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve
the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender in accordance
with Section 10.09 hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time (and without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower) create a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in
accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a fund that
invests in bank loans may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Advances owing to
it and the Note or Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities
issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities,
provided
,
however
, that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with
the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender
from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to
exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have
acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
Granting
Lender
) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time
to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an
SPC
) the
option to provide all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Advance, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise
such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall
be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Advance by an SPC
hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such
Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall
be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender
would be liable, (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 (or any
other increased costs protection provision) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes,
including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party
hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior
to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial
paper or other senior Debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in
instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or
liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
96
this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of, the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its interest in any Advance to the Granting
Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding
of Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This subSection (k) may not be amended without the
prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Advances are being funded
by the SPC at the time of such amendment.
Section 10.08
Execution in Counterparts; Integration
. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic communication shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
together with the provisions of the Commitment Letter that are stated to survive the execution
hereof and the Fee Letter, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof.
Section 10.09
Confidentiality; Press Releases, Related Matters and Treatment of
Information
. (a) No Agent or Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person
without the consent of the Borrower, other than (i) to such Agents or such Lenders Affiliates and
their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or prospective Eligible
Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential, need to know basis, (ii) as requested
or required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process or (iii) as requested or required by
any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking.
(b) Each of the parties hereto and each party joining hereafter agrees that neither it nor its
Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of
any Lender or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
without at least 2 Business Days prior notice to such Lender and without the prior written consent
of such Lender or unless (and only to the extent that) such party or Affiliate is required to do so
under law and then, in any event, such party or Affiliate will consult with the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and such Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.
Each party consents to the publication by the Agents or any Lender of a tombstone or similar
advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Agents reserve the right to provide to industry trade organizations such necessary and customary
information needed for inclusion in league table measurements.
(c) Certain of the Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material
non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities
(
Restricting Information
). Other Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not
take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may
contain Restricting Information. Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal and state
securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material,
non-public information concerning the such issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
97
exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Agent-Related Persons shall, by making any Communications
(including Restricting Information) available to a Lender, by participating in any conversations or
other interactions with a Lender or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard
to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain
Restricting Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons be
responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Lender may make to limit or to not limit its
access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its
Agent-Related Persons (i) shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of
its Agent-Related Persons, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not
a Lender has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Lenders policies or
procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Lenders
compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any
Loan Party or Lender or any of their respective Agent-Related Persons arising out of or relating to
the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons providing or not providing Restricting
Information to any Lender.
(d) Each Loan Party agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent
intended for delivery to the Lenders whether by posting to the Platform or otherwise shall be
clearly and conspicuously marked PUBLIC if such Communications do not contain Restricting
Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word PUBLIC shall appear prominently on the
first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications PUBLIC, each Loan Party shall be deemed to
have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Communications as either
publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case, such
Communications may contain sensitive business information and, therefore, remain subject to the
confidentiality undertakings of this Agreement) with respect to such Loan Party or its securities
for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked
PUBLIC may be delivered to all Lenders and may be made available through a portion of the
Platform designated Public Side Information, and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to treat any Communications that are not marked PUBLIC as Restricting Information and may post
such Communications to a portion of the Platform not designated Public Side Information. Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other
designation by a Loan Party regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material
non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities nor shall the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or
any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates based
upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting
Information is provided to a Lender that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information.
(e) Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to
Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it
will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information)
on its behalf. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such
Lenders designees e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information
may be sent by electronic transmission.
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
98
(f) Each Lender acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all
Lenders generally. Each Lender that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so
voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other
Lenders may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Lender.
None of the Administrative Agent nor any Lender with access to Restricting Information shall have
any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Lender or to use such
Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure
to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.
(g) Clauses (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 10.09 are designed to assist the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective
contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Lenders express a desire
not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Lenders hereunder or thereunder
may contain Restricting Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Agent-Related
Persons warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to
achieve such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons warrant
or make any other statement to the effect that a Loan Party or Lenders adherence to such
provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by such Loan Party or Lender with its
contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information
and each of the Lenders and each Loan Party assumes the risks associated therewith.
Section 10.10
Patriot Act Notice
. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on
behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the
Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan
Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information
that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance
with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide the
extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested
by any Agents or any Lender in order to assist the Agents and the Lenders in maintaining compliance
with the Patriot Act.
Section 10.11
Jurisdiction, Etc
. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
DanaTerm Credit and Guaranty Agreement
99
right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or federal court. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
Section 10.12
Governing Law
.
This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of New York.
Section 10.13
Waiver of Jury Trial
.
Each of the Guarantors, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders irrevocably waives all right
to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or
otherwise) arising out of or relating to any of the Loan Documents, the Advances or the actions of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or
enforcement thereof.

Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) is subject to satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 3.02. No funding of risk participations shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Advances, together with
interest as provided herein.
(c) Anything in subSection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not
select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the initial Borrowing hereunder or for any Borrowing if the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to
make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10 and (ii) the
Revolving Credit Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than 15 separate Borrowings.
(d) Each Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and
binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing
specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender
against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on
or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any actual loss (excluding loss
of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as
part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the
date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lenders ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
46
Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subSection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and
to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for
each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid or paid to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under
Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal
Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such
amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes of
this Agreement.
(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance or make available on the date of
such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the
Advance to be made by it.
Section 2.03

Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in
accordance with subSection (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit;
and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the
account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;
provided
that the Issuing Banks
shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to
participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such issuance, (x) the Available
Amount for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed the lesser of the
Letter of Credit Sublimit at such time and such Issuing Banks Letter of Credit Commitment
at such time, (y) the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit would exceed the Unused

Revolving Credit Advances
plus
Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances
outstanding at such time
plus
(2) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of
Credit outstanding at such time exceed the Borrowing Base at such time. Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers ability to
obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during
the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have
expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit issued
for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries shall be
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
47
deemed to have been issued
pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the
terms and conditions hereof.
(ii) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its
terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or
any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank
shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the
issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which such Issuing Bank
in good faith deems material to it; (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit
would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit
Lenders have approved such expiry date; (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would
violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank; or (D) such Letter of Credit is in an
initial amount less than $100,000 (unless such Issuing Bank agrees otherwise), or is to be
denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars.
(iii) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if
(A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit
in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(b)
Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit
.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or such Subsidiary for whose account
such Letter of Credit is to be issued. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at
least two Business Days (or such later date and time as such Issuing Bank may agree in a
particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of
amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter
of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry
date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G)

for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (A)
the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall
be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as
such Issuing Bank may reasonably require.
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
48
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing
Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the
Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
thereof. Upon receipt by such Issuing Bank of confirmation from the Administrative Agent
that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested
date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the
Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the
case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Banks usual and customary
business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such
Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product
of such Lenders Pro Rata Share
times
the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter
of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the
applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a
true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)
Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations
.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day
following any payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, so long as
the Borrower has received notice of such drawing by 10:00 a.m. on such following Business
Day (each such date, an
Honor Date
), the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing
Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing
(together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Section 2.07 for Revolving Credit
Advances bearing interest at the Base Rate). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the
applicable Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
Unreimbursed Amount
), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lenders Pro Rata
Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing to
be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard
to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of
Borrowings, but subject to the amount of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing).
Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing;
provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or
binding effect of such notice.
(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including a Revolving Credit Lender acting as
Issuing Bank) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
49
available to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at the
Administrative Agents Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed
Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each
Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Letter
of Credit Advance to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied or for any
other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank
a Letter of Credit Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
refinanced, which Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together
with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving
Credit Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its
participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a Letter of Credit
Advance from such Revolving Credit Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation
under this Section 2.03.
(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of
Credit Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for
any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Credit
Lenders Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.
(v) Each Revolving Credit Lenders obligation to make Letter of Credit Advances to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, the
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of
a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing. No such making of a Letter of Credit Advance shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the
amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with
interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such
Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the
time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from
such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to the such Issuing Bank at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the
applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Credit
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
50
Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(d)
Repayment of Participations
.
(i) At any time after any Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lenders Letter of
Credit Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section
2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether
directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied
thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such
Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lenders
Letter of Credit Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any
circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its
discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned by such Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
Rate from time to time in effect.
(e)
Obligations Absolute
. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse any Issuing
Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Letter of Credit Borrowing
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of
Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting),
such Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
51
(iv) any payment by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation
of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary
or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto
that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers
instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Issuing
Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the
applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)
Role of Issuing Bank
. Each Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower agree that,
in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any responsibility to
obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by
the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such
document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the
Issuing Banks, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or
assignees of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Revolving Credit Lender for (i) any action
taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit
Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit
Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;
provided
,
however
, that
this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights
and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other
agreement. None of the Issuing Banks, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Bank, shall be liable or responsible for
any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e);
provided
,
however
, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may
have a claim against an Issuing Bank, any related Agent-Related Person, any of their respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of such Issuing Bank or any Agent-Related Person, and
they may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as
opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves
were caused by such Issuing Banks, any such Agent-Related Persons, or any of such respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of such Issuing Bank or of any Agent-Related Persons
willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Banks willful failure to pay under any
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and
certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
52
limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall
not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)
Cash Collateral
. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if, as of the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and
partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to 105% of such Outstanding Amount determined as
of the date of such Letter of Credit Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case
may be). For purposes hereof, Cash Collateralize means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as
collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks (which
documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives of such term have
corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit
accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Such cash collateral shall be
maintained in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.
(h)
Applicability of ISP98 and UCP
. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the
International Standby Practices 1998 published by the Institute of International Banking Law &
Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to
each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the
ICC
) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on
Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro))
shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(i)
Conflict with Letter of Credit Application
. In the event of any conflict between
the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
(j)
Initial Issuing Banks
. Until such time as an Initial Issuing Bank shall become a
Revolving Credit Lender hereunder such Initial Issuing Bank shall have no obligations under the
Loan Documents other than with respect to Existing Letters of Credit issued by such Initial Issuing
Bank.
Section 2.04

$1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(b)
Mandatory
.

(ii) The Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date
of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the
amount of the Swing Line Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect

amount by which the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding
exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit on such Business Day.
(iv) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clause (i) and (ii)
above shall be
first
applied to prepay Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding,
if any, until such Advances are paid in full,
second
applied to prepay Swing Line

Section 2.10
Increased Costs, Etc
. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or
any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having
the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make
or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing
or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or
maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such
increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and
(y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United
States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is
organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the
Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to
the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost;
provided
,
however
, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this
Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a
designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost,
submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
58
(b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline
or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force
of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital
is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Partys commitment to lend or to issue
or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or
maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then,
upon demand by such Lender Party or such
corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by
such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of
such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in
capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Partys commitment to lend or to issue or
participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in
any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender
Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the
Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not
adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate
Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower
and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last
day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the
obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have
determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central
bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or
to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and
demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and
(ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has
determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist;
provided
,
however
, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts
(consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or
its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment
of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.11
Payments and Computations
.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any
right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York, New York time) on the day when due (or, in the case of payments made by a
Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.01, on the date of demand therefor) in U.S. dollars to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agents Account in same day funds. The Administrative
Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the
Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable
hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such
Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in
accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and
(ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one
Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case
to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment
and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to
Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the
Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the
interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such
Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior
to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the
Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances to
which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but
shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender Party ratably in
accordance with such Lender Partys proportionate share of the principal amount of all outstanding
Advances and the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, in repayment or
prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender Party, and
for application to such principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
(c) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party, if and to the extent payment owed to
such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held
by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers accounts with such
Lender Party any amount so due. Each of the Lender Parties hereby agrees to notify the Borrower
promptly after any such setoff and application shall be made by such Lender Party;
provided
,
however
, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such charge.
(d) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate, of fees and Letter of Credit
commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds
Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for
the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
60
(e) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
commitment fee, as the case may be;
provided
,
however
, that, if such extension
would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next
following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal
to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made
such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until
the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate.
Section 2.12
Taxes
. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all payments by
any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender Party or any Agent hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11 or the applicable provisions of such
other Loan Document, if any, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party and each Agent, (x) taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings that are imposed on or measured by its overall net
income and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof by the United States of America or by the state
or foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof under the laws of which such Lender
Party or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or, in the case of each Lender Party, such
Lender Partys Applicable Lending Office is located or (y) any branch profit taxes imposed by the
United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which such
Applicable Lending Office is located (all such non excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings being hereinafter referred to as
Taxes
). If any Loan Party shall
be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any
other Loan Document to any Lender Party or any Agent, subject to Section 2.12(f), (i) the sum
payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party and
the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or such Agent, as the case may
be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) such Loan Party shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law.
(b) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise,
property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any
payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
61
Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as
Other
Taxes
).
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender Party
and each Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes imposed
on or paid by such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, but excluding penalties, interest or other expenses to the extent attributable to the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person claiming such indemnity. This indemnification
shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be)
makes written demand therefor, which written demand shall be accompanied by copies of the
applicable documentation evidencing the amount of such taxes.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the appropriate Loan Party shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued
therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or
on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf
of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Loan Party determines that
no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall cause such payor
to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections
(d) and (e) of this Section 2.12, the terms United States person shall have the meanings
specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States
shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each
Initial Lender Party, on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a
Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law, or from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower
(but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of
the Administrative Agent and Borrower with two original properly completed Internal Revenue Service
Forms W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced
rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or, in the case of a Lender Party that is relying on the portfolio interest exemption,
certifying that such Lender Party is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the
forms provided by a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this
Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax
at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides
the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such
lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms;
provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which a Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender Party assignor was entitled to
payments under subSection (a)
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
62
of this Section 2.12 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid
at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes
that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States
withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any
form or document referred to in this subSection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other
than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof
by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-8ECI or any successor, or the related
certificate described above, that the applicable Lender Party reasonably considers to be
confidential, such Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be
obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.
(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower
with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) above (other
than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof,
occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to
be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under
subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to increased payment or
indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.12 with respect to taxes imposed by
the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender Party become
subject to taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required
hereunder, the Loan Parties shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to
assist such Lender Party to recover such taxes.
(g) If any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has actually and finally
realized by reason of the refund of or credit against any Taxes paid or reimbursed by any Loan
Party pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under the Loan Documents, a
current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained, and that would result in the
total payments under this Section 2.12 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender Party whole,
such Lender Party shall pay to the Borrower or other Loan Party, as the case may be, with
reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount
equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, net of all
out-of-pocket expenses in securing such refund.
Section 2.13
Sharing of Payments, Etc
. If any Lender Party shall obtain at any time
any payment, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or
otherwise (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or 10.07), (a) on account of
Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in
excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due
and payable to such Lender Party at such time (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 10.04 or
10.07) to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties
hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and
payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender
Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such
Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12,
10.04 or 10.07) in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time (other than pursuant to Section 2.10,
2.12, 10.04 or 10.07) to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
63
not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments
on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and
under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party
shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such participations in the Obligations due
and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all
or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party,
such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall
repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Partys
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to
(ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an
amount equal to such Lender Partys ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such other Lender Partys required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender
Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so
purchasing a participation from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.14
Use of Proceeds
.
(a) The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances, the Swing Line Advances and the Letters of
Credit shall only be utilized to provide financing for working capital, letters of credit, capital
expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Guarantors. Subject to
Availability, Revolving Credit Advances made after the Closing Date may only be used, (i) (x) to
replace or backstop letters of credit issued and outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement or (y)
to migrate the Existing Letters of Credit from the DIP Credit Agreement to the Revolving Credit
Facility and (ii) at the Borrowers discretion, up to an amount equal to any financing shortfall
reflecting upfront fees or original issue discount in respect of the gross cash proceeds expected
to be received from the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
(b)
Transactions with CNAI
. Borrower will not use any of the proceeds of the
Revolving Credit Advances, the Swing Line Advances and the Letters of Credit, directly or
indirectly, for the purpose of (i) purchasing an asset from a CNAI as principal, (ii) purchasing a
security underwritten by CNAI, (iii) repaying principal of, or interest or fees on, any extension
of credit made by CNAI, (iv) posting collateral to secure its obligations under any transaction
with CNAI or (v) making any payment for services provided by CNAI.
Section 2.15
Defaulting Lenders
. (a) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender
Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to
the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any
other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the
Borrower to make such payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the
obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
64
Advance. In the event that, on any date, the Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply
its obligation to make any such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make
any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and otherwise applied by
the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents an
Advance by such Defaulting Lender made on the date under the Facility pursuant to which such
Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance
shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in
connection with which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to
Section 2.01, even if the other Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate
Advances on the date such Advance is deemed to be made pursuant to this subSection (a). The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any time the Borrower exercises its right of
set-off pursuant to this subSection (a) and shall set forth in such notice (A) the name of the
Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B)
the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to this
subSection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by the Borrower to or
for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the Borrower, after giving effect to the
amount set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower pursuant to this subSection (a), shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subSection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15.
(b) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii)
such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to the Administrative Agent or any of the other
Lender Parties and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan
Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the
Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Lender Parties and to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrower
to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the
extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so
apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so
applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such
amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or
distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with
the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Administrative Agent

by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or
any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower
hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict
between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lenders Advances in addition to such
accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date,
amount and maturity of its Advances and payments with respect thereto.

2.17, during the continuance of a Cash Control Trigger Event, a Loan Party receives or otherwise
has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, such proceeds and collections shall
be held in trust by such Loan Party for the Administrative Agent, shall not be commingled with any

ARTICLE VII
THE AGENTS
Section 7.01
Appointment and Authorization of the Agents
. (a) Each Lender Party
hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each of the Agents to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan
Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth
herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender
Party or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against
such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term agent
herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable
law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Issuing
Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the
documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities
(i) provided to each Agent in this Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered
by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by
it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit
as fully as if the term Agent as used in this Article VII and in the definition of Agent-Related
Person
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
99
included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally
provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank. The provisions of this Article VII are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, and neither the Borrower nor
any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.
(b) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. hereby appoints Citicorp USA, Inc. to act as collateral
agent or as administrative agent solely for the purpose of negotiating, executing, accepting
delivery of and otherwise acting pursuant to collateral access agreements, Landlord Lien Waivers or
any other similar agreement.
Section 7.02
Delegation of Duties
.
(a) Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and
other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Without limitation of the provisions of Section 7.02(a), it is the purpose of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any
jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact
business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the
enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Collateral Agent deems that by reason of
any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or
remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be
desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Collateral Agent
appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral
agent, collateral sub-agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution
being referred to herein as a
Supplemental Collateral Agent
).
(c) In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with
respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended
by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to
the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such
Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such
Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such
Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and
obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by
such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Collateral Agent
or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article and of Section 10.04
that refer to the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent
and all references therein to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the
Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require.
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
100
(d) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Loan Party shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent.
In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental
Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Collateral
Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.
Section 7.03
Liability of Agents
.
(a) The Administrative Agents duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely
ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take
any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or
refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion
of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that
is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.
(b) No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in
connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any
Lender Party or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan
Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform
its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to
any Lender Party or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of
any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative
Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons to carry out any know your customer or other checks in
relation to any person on behalf of any Lender Party and each Lender Party confirms to the
Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out
and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative
Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons.
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
101
Section 7.04
Reliance by Agents
. (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution,
representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or
telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent
accountants and other experts selected by such Agent, as applicable. Each Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so
requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of
the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any
instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.01, each
Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or
to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or
approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the relevant Agent or Agents shall
have received notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
Section 7.05
Notice of Default
. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal,
interest and fees required to be paid to any Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless such
Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default and stating that such notice is a Notice of Default. The Administrative
Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent, in
consultation with the Initial Lenders, shall take such action with respect to such Default as may
be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VI;
provided
,
however
, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, it
may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, in each
case, in consultation with the Initial Lenders, with respect to such Default as it shall deem
advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
Section 7.06
Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents
. Each Lender
acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that
no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including
whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender
represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
102
respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to
extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to
make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except
for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any
Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective
Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
Section 7.07
Indemnification of Agents
. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the
extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any
Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any
and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it;
provided
,
however
, that no Lender
shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Persons own gross negligence or
willful misconduct;
provided
,
however
, that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall
reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by any Agent 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, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or
referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on
behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the
Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of each of the Agents. In
the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section
7.07 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Lender Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors and whether or
not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
Section 7.08
Agents in Their Individual Capacity
.
(a) CUSA, CGMI, LBI and Barclays and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue
letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business
with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though CUSA, CGMI, LBI and
Barclays, as the case may be, were not an Agent or Issuing Bank hereunder, as the case
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
103
may be, and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that,
pursuant to such activities, each of CUSA, CGMI, LBI and Barclays and each of their respective
Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including
information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such
Affiliate) and acknowledge that each of CUSA, CGMI, LBI and Barclays and their respective
Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its
Advances, each of CUSA, CGMI, LBI and Barclays and their respective Affiliates shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers
as though it were not an Agent, the Swing Line Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and
the terms Lender and Lenders include CUSA, CGMI, LBI and Barclays in its individual capacity.
(b) Each Lender Party understands that the Administrative Agent, acting in its individual
capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the
Agents Group
) are engaged in a wide
range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities
trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are
collectively referred to in this Section 7.08(b) as
Activities
) and may engage in the
Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates.
Furthermore, the Agents Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial
products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others
(including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on
behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their
respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in
securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their
Affiliates. Each Lender Party understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the
Agents Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their
Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their
respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be
available to any of the Lender Parties that are not members of the Agents Group. None of the
Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agents Group shall have any duty to disclose to any
Lender Party or use on behalf of the Lender Parties, and shall not be liable for the failure to so
disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise
(including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to
account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the
Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender Party such documents
as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Lender Parties.
(c) Each Lender Party further understands that there may be situations where members of the
Agents Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates)
either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the
interests of any one or more of the Lender Parties (including the interests of the Lender Parties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender Party agrees that no member of the
Agents Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Administrative
Agent being a member of the Agents Group, and that each member of the Agents Group may undertake
any Activities without further consultation with or notification to
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
104
any Lender Party. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by
the Agents Group of information (including Communications) concerning the Loan Parties or their
Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their
respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter
shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any
duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agents Group
to any Lender Party including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agents Group from
acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own
account.
Section 7.09
Successor Agent
. Each Agent may resign from acting in such capacity upon
30 days notice to the Lenders and the Borrower;
provided
that any such resignation by CUSA
shall also constitute the resignation by CUSA as Issuing Bank. If an Agent resigns under this
Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the
Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of such
Agent, such Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor agent from among the
Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as
such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and
Issuing Bank and the term Agent shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agents
appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated and in the case of the Administrative
Agent, the retiring Issuing Banks rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without
any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the successor Issuing Bank to issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of

any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured
Party, as the case may be (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to
disclose such information);

documented costs and expenses, incurred by such Agent or such Lenders and in connection with (a)
the enforcement of the Loan Documents or collection of payments due from any Loan Party and (b) any
legal proceeding relating to or arising out of the Revolving Credit
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
115
Facility or the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The foregoing fees,
costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance, collateral review,
monitoring, and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and the cost of independent public accountants and
other outside experts retained jointly by the Agents. All amounts due under this Section 10.04(a)
shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor accompanied by an appropriate
invoice. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and
repayment of all other Obligations.
(b) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Loan Party shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact and representatives
(collectively the
Indemnitees
) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel), joint
or several that may be incurred by, or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee, in each case
arising out of or in connection with or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or
the preparation of any defense with respect thereto arising out of or in connection with (i) the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other
agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment, Advance or
Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an
Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii)
any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently
or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any Liability related in
any way to the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of Environmental Laws, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of,
preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or
proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing,
collectively, the
Indemnified Liabilities
), in all cases, whether or not caused by or
arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such claim, damage, loss,
liability or expense is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity
in this Section 10.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any
security holders or creditors of the foregoing an Indemnitee or any other Person, or an Indemnitee
is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated. No Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort
or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitees gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on any theory of liability for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (including,
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
116
without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). No Indemnitee
shall be liable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for any damages arising from the use by
others of any information or other materials obtained through an Informational Website or other
similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. All amounts due under
this Section 10.04(b) shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all the other Obligations.
(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by
the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest
Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06,
2.09(b)(i) or 2.10(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for
any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for
which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether
pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender
Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any
additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or
Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any
actual loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or
maintain such Advance.
Section 10.05
Right of Set-off
. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by
Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender Party and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender Party or such Affiliate to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note or Notes (if any) held by such
Lender Party, irrespective of whether such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender Party
agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set off and application;
provided
,
however
, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off
and application. The rights of each Lender Party and its respective Affiliates under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
set-off) that such Lender Party and its respective Affiliates may have.
Section 10.06
Binding Effect
. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Borrower, the Guarantors, each Agent, the Initial Issuing Banks and the
Initial Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial
Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
117
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender Party.
Section 10.07
Successors and Assigns
. (a) Each Lender may assign all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of

provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying,
percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all Facilities, (ii) except
in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender,

each Facility for which a Commitment is being assigned, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an
Eligible Assignee, and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the

acknowledge and agree that, at the election of the Administrative Agent, any such Assignment and
Acceptance may be electronically executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent via an
electronic loan assignment confirmation system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall
include ClearPar, LLC).
(b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 10.04 to the
extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance
covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lenders or Issuing Banks rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor
thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties
thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such
assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan
Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be
created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the
performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
118
under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii)
such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the
financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and
Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such
assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee;
(vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it
as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose (but only for this purpose) as the agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal
amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the
Register
). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lender Parties may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Agent or any
Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and
an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent
shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof and a copy of such Assignment and
Acceptance to the Borrower and each other Agent. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within
five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes (if
any) a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed
by it under each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender
that had a Note or Notes prior to such assignment has retained a Commitment hereunder under such
Facility, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment
retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the effective date of such
Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, as
the case may be.
(f) Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time;
provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be to an
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
119
Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which shall not be payable by
the Borrower).
(g) Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan
Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing
to it and any Note or Notes held by it);
provided
,
however
, that (i) such Lender
Partys obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of
any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other
Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with
such Lender Partys rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such
participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that
such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest (other than default
interest) on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the
extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the
extent subject to such participation, or release a substantial portion of the value of the
Collateral or the value of the Guaranties and (vi) the participating banks or other entities shall
be entitled to the benefit of Section 2.12 to the same extent as if they were a Lender Party but,
with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender Party that sold
the participation to such participant and only if such participant agrees to comply with Section
2.12(e) as though it were a Lender Party.
(h) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.07, disclose to the assignee or participant
or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such
Lender Party by or on behalf of the Borrower;
provided
,
however
, that, prior to any
such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to
preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender Party
in accordance with Section 10.09 hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at
any time (and without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower) create a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in
accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a fund that
invests in bank loans may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Advances owing to
it and the Note or Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities
issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities,
provided
,
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
120
however
, that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance
with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging
Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be
entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such
trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure
or otherwise.
(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender Party (a
Granting Lender
) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in
writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an
SPC
) the option to provide all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) nothing
herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Advance, and (ii) if an SPC elects not
to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Advance, the Granting
Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an
Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent,
and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that
(i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for
which a Lender Party would be liable, (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.10 and 2.12 (or any other increased costs protection provision) and (iii) the Granting Lender
shall for all purposes, including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of
any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender Party of record hereunder. In furtherance of
the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of
this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of
all outstanding commercial paper or other senior Debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or
join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice
to, but without prior consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any
portion of its interest in any Advance to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Advances to any rating agency,
commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement
to such SPC. This subSection (k) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each
Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Advances are being funded by the SPC at the time of such
amendment.
Section 10.08
Execution in Counterparts; Integration
. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic communication shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
together with the provisions of the Commitment Letter that are stated to survive the execution
hereof and the Fee Letter, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof.
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
121
Section 10.09
Confidentiality; Press Releases, Related Matters and Treatment of
Information
. (a) No Agent or Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any
Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (i) to such Agents or such Lender Partys
Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or
prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential, need to know
basis, (ii) as requested or required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process or (iii) as
requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or
banking.
(b) Each of the parties hereto and each party joining hereafter agrees that neither it nor its
Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of
any Lender or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
without at least 2 Business Days prior notice to such Lender and without the prior written consent
of such Lender or unless (and only to the extent that) such party or Affiliate is required to do so
under law and then, in any event, such party or Affiliate will consult with the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and such Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.
Each party consents to the publication by the Agents or any Lender Party of a tombstone or similar
advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Agents reserve the right to provide to industry trade organizations such necessary and customary
information needed for inclusion in league table measurements.
(c) Certain of the Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material
non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities
(
Restricting Information
). Other Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not
take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may
contain Restricting Information. Each Lender Party acknowledges that United States federal and
state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of
material, non-public information concerning the such issuer of such securities or, subject to
certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Agent-Related Persons shall, by making any Communications
(including Restricting Information) available to a Lender Party, by participating in any
conversations or other interactions with a Lender Party or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any
statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or
does not contain Restricting Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its
Agent-Related Persons be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Lender Party may make
to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Agent-Related Persons (i) shall have, and the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Agent-Related Persons, hereby disclaims, any duty to
ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender Party has or has not limited its access to
Restricting Information, such Lender Partys policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of
material, nonpublic information or such Lender Partys compliance with applicable laws related
thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Loan Party or Lender Party or any of
their respective Agent-Related Persons arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or
any of its Agent-Related Persons providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender
Party.
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
122
(d) Each Loan Party agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent
intended for delivery to the Lender Parties whether by posting to the Platform or otherwise shall
be clearly and conspicuously marked PUBLIC if such Communications do not contain Restricting
Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word PUBLIC shall appear prominently on the
first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications PUBLIC, each Loan Party shall be deemed to
have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties to treat such Communications as
either publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case,
such Communications may contain sensitive business information and, therefore, remain subject to
the confidentiality undertakings of this Agreement) with respect to such Loan Party or its
securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all
Communications marked PUBLIC may be delivered to all Lender Parties and may be made available
through a portion of the Platform designated Public Side Information, and (iv) the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked PUBLIC as Restricting
Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Platform not designated Public
Side Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible
for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party regarding whether a Communication contains
or does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or
their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to
any Loan Party, any Lender Party or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a
result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Lender Party that may decide not to take
access to Restricting Information.
(e) Each Lender Party acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to
Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Lender Party agrees
that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting
Information) on its behalf. Each Lender Party agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time
to time of such Lender Partys designees e-mail address to which notice of the availability of
Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.
(f) Each Lender Party acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to
all Lender Parties generally. Each Lender Party that elects not to take access to Restricting
Information does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the
Administrative Agent and other Lender Parties may have access to Restricting Information that is
not available to such electing Lender Party. None of the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party
with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information
to such electing Lender Party or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing
Lender Party, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting
Information.
(g) Clauses (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 10.09 are designed to assist the
Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective
contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Lender
DanaRevolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
123
Parties express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain
Communications hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the
Lender Parties hereunder or thereunder may contain Restricting Information. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Agent-Related Persons warrants or makes any other statement
with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does the Administrative
Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons warrant or make any other statement to the effect that a
Loan Party or Lender Partys adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance
by such Loan Party or Lender Party with its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable
law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party
assumes the risks associated therewith.
Section 10.10
Patriot Act Notice
. Each Lender Party and each Agent (for itself and
not on behalf of any Lender Party) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the
requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and
other information that will allow such Lender Party or such Agent, as applicable, to identify such
Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, provide the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions
as are reasonably requested by any Agents or any Lender Party in order to assist the Agents and the
Lender Parties in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.
Section 10.11

. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or federal court. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort

of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party in the negotiation, administration, performance or

TERM FACILITY SECURITY AGREEMENT
TERM FACILITY SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of January 31, 2008 (this
Agreement
), made by
DANA HOLDING CORPORATION (the
Borrower
), the other Persons listed on the signature pages hereof
and the Additional Grantors (as defined in Section 24) (the Borrower, the Persons so listed and the
Additional Grantors being, collectively, the
Grantors
), to CITICORP USA, INC., as collateral
agent (in such capacity, together with any successor collateral agent appointed pursuant to Article
VII of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the
Collateral Agent
) for the Secured
Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.
1. The Borrower and the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have entered into a
Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2008 (said agreement, as it may
hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
being the
Credit Agreement
) with the Lenders and the Agents (each as defined therein).
2. Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of issued and outstanding stock or other Equity
Interests (the
Initial Pledged Equity
) set forth opposite such Grantors name on and as otherwise
described in Part I of Schedule I hereto and issued by the Persons named therein.
3. Each Grantor is the creditor with respect to the indebtedness (the
Initial Pledged Debt
)
owed to such Grantor set forth opposite such Grantors name on and as otherwise described in Part
II of Schedule I hereto and issued by the obligors named therein
4. Each Grantor is the owner of the deposit accounts (together with any deposit accounts as to
which such Grantor has complied with the requirements of Section 5(a), the
Pledged Deposit
Accounts
) set forth opposite such Grantors name on Schedule II hereto;
provided
that the term
Pledged Deposit Accounts shall not include the Excluded Accounts.
5. Each Grantor is the owner of the securities accounts (the
Securities Accounts
) set forth
opposite such Grantors name on Schedule II hereto.
6. Each Grantor is the beneficiary under certain letters of credit as described opposite such
Grantors name on Schedule VIII hereto.
7. It is a condition precedent to the making of Advances by the Lender Parties under the
Credit Agreement and the entry into the Secured Hedge Agreements by the Hedge Banks from time to
time that the Grantors shall have granted the security interest and made the pledge and assignment
contemplated by this Agreement.
8. Each Grantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents.
9. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used
in this Agreement as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, unless otherwise defined in this
Agreement or in the Credit Agreement, terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of the UCC (as defined below)
are used in this Agreement as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9.
UCC
means the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York;
provided
that, if
perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the priority of the security interest
in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other
than the State
Dana Term Facility Security Agreement
2
of New York,
UCC
means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such other
jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such perfection, effect of
perfection or non-perfection or priority. In addition, this Agreement and the terms used herein
shall be subject to the rules of construction as set forth in Section 1.04 of the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lender Parties to
make Advances under the Credit Agreement and to induce the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge
Agreements from time to time, each Grantor hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties as follows:
Section 1.
Grant of Security
. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in such Grantors right, title and

described below, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever located, and
whether now or hereafter existing or arising (collectively, the

(b) all inventory in all of its forms, including, without limitation, (i) all raw

earned by performance, and all rights now or hereafter existing in and to all supporting
obligations and in and to all security agreements, mortgages, Liens, leases, letters of
credit and other contracts securing or otherwise relating to the foregoing property (any and
all of such accounts, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights,
general intangibles and other obligations, to the extent not referred to in clauses (d), (e)
or (f) below, being the
Receivables
, and any and all such supporting obligations, security
agreements, mortgages, Liens, leases, letters of credit and other contracts being the
Related Contracts
);
(d) the following (collectively, the
Security Collateral
):
(i) the Initial Pledged Equity and the certificates, if any, representing the
Initial Pledged Equity, and all dividends, distributions, returns of capital, cash,

Dana Term Facility Security Agreement
3
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Initial Pledged
Equity and all warrants, rights or options issued thereon or with respect thereto;
(ii) the Initial Pledged Debt and the instruments, if any, evidencing the
Initial Pledged Debt, and all interest, cash, instruments and other property from
time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in
exchange for any or all of the Initial Pledged Debt;
(iii) all additional shares of stock and other Equity Interests from time to
time acquired by such Grantor, in any manner (such shares and other Equity
Interests, together with the Initial Pledged Equity, being the

),
and the certificates, if any, representing such additional shares or other Equity
Interests, and all dividends, distributions, return of capital, cash, instruments
and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed
in respect of or in exchange for any or all such shares or other Equity Interests
and all warrants, rights or options issued thereon or with respect thereto;
provided
that, notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to the contrary, no Grantor shall be required to pledge any Equity
Interests in (A) any Foreign Subsidiary that is a controlled foreign corporation
within the meaning of Code section 957(a) or (B) any domestic Subsidiary the sole
assets of which consist of the Equity Interest of any Foreign Subsidiary that is a
controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Code section 957(a) (together
hereinafter, a
Controlled Foreign Corporation
) (or any Equity Interests in any
entity that is treated as a partnership or a disregarded entity for United States
federal income tax purposes and whose assets are substantially only Equity Interests
in Foreign Subsidiaries that are Controlled Foreign Corporations (a
Flow-Through
Entity
)) owned or otherwise held by such Grantor which, when aggregated with all of
the other Equity Interests in such Controlled Foreign Corporation (or Flow-Through
Entity) pledged by any Grantor, would result (or would be deemed to result for
United States federal income tax purposes) in more than 65% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock in a Controlled Foreign Corporation or Equity
Interests in a Flow-Through Entity entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2) promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code) (the
Voting Foreign Stock
) being pledged to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
Secured Parties, under this Agreement (although all of the shares of stock in a
Controlled Foreign Corporation or Equity Interests in a Flow-Through Entity not
entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2)
promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code) (the
Non-Voting Foreign Stock
) shall
be pledged by each of the Grantors that owns or otherwise holds any such Non-Voting
Foreign Stock therein) (any Equity Interests excluded pursuant to this proviso shall
be referred to herein as the
Excluded Equity Interests
);
provided further
that,
if, as a result of any change in the tax laws of the United States of America after
the date of this Agreement, the pledge by such Grantor of any additional shares of
stock in any such Controlled Foreign Corporation or Equity Interests in a
Flow-Through Entity to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
under this Agreement would not result in an increase in the aggregate net
consolidated tax liabilities or in the reduction of any loss carryforward, tax basis
or other tax attribute, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, then, promptly after
the change in such laws, all such additional shares of stock shall be so pledged
under this Agreement;
(iv) all additional indebtedness from time to time owed to such Grantor (such
indebtedness, together with the Initial Pledged Debt, being the
Pledged Debt
) and
the instruments, if any, evidencing such indebtedness, and all interest, cash,
instruments and
Dana Term Facility Security Agreement
4
other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such indebtedness;
(v) the Securities Accounts, all security entitlements with respect to all
financial assets from time to time credited to the Securities Accounts, and all
financial assets, and all dividends, distributions, return of capital, interest,
cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or
otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such security
entitlements or financial assets and all warrants, rights or options issued thereon
or with respect thereto; and
(vi) all other investment property (including, without limitation, all (A)
securities (whether certificated or uncertificated), (B) security entitlements, (C)
securities accounts, (D) commodity contracts and (E) commodity accounts) in which

interest in any manner, and the certificates or instruments, if any, representing or
evidencing such investment property, and all dividends, distributions, return of
capital, interest, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of
such investment property and all warrants, rights or options issued thereon or with
respect thereto;
(e) the following (collectively, the
Account Collateral
):
(i) the Pledged Deposit Accounts and all funds and financial assets from time
to time credited thereto (including, without limitation, all Cash Equivalents), and

evidencing the Pledged Deposit Accounts;
(ii) all promissory notes, certificates of deposit, checks and other
instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Collateral
Agent for or on behalf of such Grantor in substitution for or in addition to any or
all of the then existing Account Collateral; and
(iii) all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other
property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect
of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Account Collateral;
(f) the following (collectively, the
Intellectual Property Collateral
):
(i) all patents, patent applications, utility models and statutory invention
registrations, all inventions claimed or disclosed therein and all improvements
thereto (the
Patents
);
(ii) all trademarks, service marks, domain names, trade dress, logos, designs,

whether registered or unregistered (
provided
that no security interest shall be

accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;
provided
that no Grantor shall be
required to deliver an instrument representing Pledged Debt if the principal amount of such

Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange certificates or
instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments
of smaller or larger denominations.
(b) With respect to any Security Collateral that constitutes an uncertificated security
that is at any time subject to Article 8 of the UCC and is not held in a Securities Account,
the relevant Grantor will cause, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each issuer
thereof that is a Subsidiary of such Grantor to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Security Collateral in a form and substance that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent (such agreement being an
Uncertificated Security Control Agreement
).

consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory

Securities Account Control Agreement
);
provided,
however
, that the Collateral Agent will (i) not give any such orders except after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) upon cure (but not a
partial cure) or waiver of any previously continuing Event of Default, the Collateral Agent
shall take such action, at the expense of such Grantor, as shall be reasonably necessary to

to any issuer of uncertificated securities or securities intermediary.
(d) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will notify each issuer of Securities

(other than any other Loan Party) in which a security interest has been granted by it
hereunder that such Securities Collateral is subject to the security interest granted
hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4, so long as the Revolving

delivery of Collateral to, or the possession of Collateral with, the Collateral Agent shall
be deemed complied with and satisfied in the event that such delivery of Collateral has been
made to, or such possession of Collateral is with, the Revolving Facility Collateral Agent
(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).

Pledged Account Bank
)

originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of funds in such deposit
account without the further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and Collateral Agent (each, a
Deposit
Account Control Agreement
);
provided
,
however
, that this Section 5(a) shall not apply to an
Excluded Account or where the Collateral Agent is the bank. So long as an Event of Default
has not occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent agrees that (i) it shall not issue
any instructions to any Pledged Account Bank or withhold any withdrawal rights from such
Grantor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any deposit account and (ii)
upon cure (but not a partial cure) or waiver of any previously continuing Event of Default,
the Collateral Agent shall thereafter take such action, at the expense of such Grantor, as
shall be reasonably necessary to reconvey to such Grantor the right to give instructions
directing the disposition of funds credited to any such deposit account.
Section 6.
Release of Amounts

be continuing , the Grantors shall have the sole and exclusive right to direct the applicable
Pledged Account Bank to pay and release, to the applicable Grantor or at its order or, at the
request of such Grantor, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the
Grantors under the Loan Documents, such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the Pledged
Deposit Accounts.

Equipment and Inventory in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement. Each

policy shall in addition (i) name such Grantor and the Collateral Agent as additional
insured parties or loss payees thereunder, as the case may be, (without any representation
or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as their interests may appear, (ii)
contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the

Obligor
) under any Receivables and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Receivables
and Related Contracts to the Collateral Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of
all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent
and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any
such Receivables and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done,
and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Receivables and Related Contracts,

under any of the Receivables and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or obligations
of the Obligor thereof.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verification of the
Receivables (other than Receivables that any Loan Party is required to maintain as
classified) in any manner and through any medium that it considers advisable in its
reasonable discretion, and each Grantor agrees to furnish all such assistance and
information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith.

without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and
any other applicable governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability
of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral
in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent,
trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such
Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment

Property Collateral that is material to the use and operations of the Collateral or to the
business, results of operations, or financial condition of such Grantor (each such
Intellectual Property Collateral a
Material Intellectual Property Collateral
), discontinue
use of any Trademark included in the Material Intellectual Property Collateral or abandon
any right to file an application for patent, trademark, or copyright unless such Grantor
shall have previously determined, in its reasonable business judgment, that such use or the
pursuit or maintenance of such Material Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer
desirable in the conduct of such Grantors business and that the loss thereof, either
individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect, in which case, such Grantor will give prompt notice of any such abandonment to the
Collateral Agent.
(b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if such Grantor becomes
aware (i) that any item of the Material Intellectual Property Collateral has become
abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable (other than as a result of
the expiration of the statutory term for such Material Intellectual Property Collateral), or
of any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantors ownership of any of the
Material Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to register the same or to keep and
maintain and enforce the same to the extent the happening of such an event would reasonably
be expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of the Intellectual
Property Collateral, or (ii) of any adverse determination (including, without limitation,
the institution of any proceeding in the
Dana Term Facility Security Agreement
16
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding any item of the Material
Intellectual Property Collateral.
(c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of Intellectual Property
Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall
promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall take commercially reasonable actions (unless
failure to take such actions would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect), at its expense, to protect or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral,
including, without limitation, as Grantor or the Collateral Agent deems necessary or
desirable in its reasonable business discretion, suing for infringement or misappropriation
and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.
(d) Each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable actions to use proper statutory
notice in connection with its use of each item of Material Intellectual Property Collateral
owned by such Grantor as reasonably necessary to maintain such Grantors rights therein. No
Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its
Material Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or
placed in the public domain.
(e) Each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable actions which it or the Collateral
Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each
item of its Material Intellectual Property Collateral, consistent in all material respects
with the quality of the products or services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps
reasonably necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such
consistent standards of quality.
(f) With respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to
execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit B
hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Borrower and Collateral Agent (an
Intellectual Property Term Facility Security Agreement
),
for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent in such
Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security
interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.
(g) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest in or license to
any item of the type set forth in Section 1(f) that is not on the Closing Date a part of the
Intellectual Property Collateral, but otherwise would be part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral if such Grantor had an ownership interest in or license to such item on the
Closing Date (
After-Acquired Intellectual Property
) (i) the provisions of this Agreement
shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property
and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become
part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement with respect thereto (
provided
that no security interest shall be granted in
United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the
period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or
enforceability, or result in the cancellation, of such intent-to-use trademark applications
under applicable federal law). Each Grantor shall give written notice to the Collateral
Agent identifying any patents, patent applications, trademark and service mark
registrations, trademark and service mark applications, copyright registrations, and
copyright applications that are part of the After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and, such
Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent with such written notice, or
otherwise authenticate, an
Dana Term Facility Security Agreement

agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit C
hereto or otherwise in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to and requested by the Collateral Agent (an

Property for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent in
such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be
recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other
governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such
After-Acquired Intellectual Property, to the extent perfection may be achieved by making
such recordings. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each Grantor shall have no
obligation to file any such instruments or statements for such After-Acquired Intellectual
Property outside of the United States under this Section 13(g).

Contracts consisting of letters of credit of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or
assignee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will
promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of each letter of credit with a
face amount in excess of $1,000,000 and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to
consent to such Grantors assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a consent in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and deliver written evidence of such
consent to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will,
promptly upon written request by the Collateral Agent, (i) notify (and such Grantor hereby

are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee and (ii) arrange for the Collateral
Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letters of credit.

Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such

Affiliates or any designee (including without limitation, a Subagent) on its behalf shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral

addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and

Certain Provisions in Respect of Mexican Inventory
. (a) For purposes of
perfecting the first priority Lien and security interest on any Collateral held from time to time by any
Mexican Depository in connection with the manufacture in Mexico of finished products by such Mexican Depository
(the
Mexican Collateral
), each Grantor hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent, for itself and for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, as security for the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, the Mexican Collateral in accordance with
paragraph IV of Article 334 of the Mexican General Law of Negotiable Instruments and Credit
Transactions (
Ley General de Títulos y Operaciones de Crédito
).
(b) Each Grantor and the Collateral Agent hereby appoints each Mexican Depository as
depository of the Mexican Collateral. The parties hereto agree that each Mexican Depository
may from time to time in the ordinary course of business receive and maintain possession of
the Mexican Collateral for the purpose of manufacturing finished products for sale by such
Grantor and shall act as depository for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of
itself and the Secured Parties, with respect to such Mexican Collateral, which shall at all
times remain subject to the first priority Lien and security interest created hereunder.
Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that each Mexican Depository shall hold any and all
Mexican Collateral in its control or possession for the benefit of Collateral Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, and that
DanaTerm Facility Security Agreement
25
each Mexican Depository shall act upon
the instructions of the Collateral Agent without the further consent of such Grantor. The
Collateral Agent agrees with the Grantors that it shall not give any such instructions
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into
account any action by any Grantor with respect to any Mexican Depository.
(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall
be entitled, without the consent of any Grantor, to remove any Mexican Depository as
depository and appoint a different depository. No Mexican Depository shall be released from
its obligations hereunder, unless a replacement depository has been appointed in accordance
with this Agreement and such replacement depository has assumed the obligations of such
Mexican Depository hereunder, including without limitation, taking physical possession of
the Mexican Collateral and executing the letter referred to in subsection (d) below.
(d) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent, a letter from each Mexican Depository or any other entity acting as
depository, acceptable to the Collateral Agent in substantially in the form of Exhibit J
hereto.
For purposes of this Section 28,
Mexican Depository
shall mean each Subsidiary of the
Borrower domiciled in Mexico that is at any time in possession of Inventory owned by any Grantor
and included in the calculation of Eligible Inventory, in each case in its capacity as depository
of the Mexican Collateral, or any successor depository thereof.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.
1. The Borrower and the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have entered into a

United States federal income tax purposes) in more than 65% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock in a Controlled Foreign Corporation or Equity
Interests in a Flow-Through Entity entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2) promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code) (the
Voting Foreign Stock
) being pledged to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the

contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, fees, premiums,
penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (all
such Obligations being the
Secured Obligations
). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that
constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured
Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable
due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan
Party.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest
granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to
this Agreement, and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, are subject to the provisions of that certain

from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and as the Intercreditor
Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the
terms thereof. As between (i) the lender parties under that certain Term Facility Credit
and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2008, among the Borrower, the Guarantors
party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent,
and (ii) the Lender Parties under the Credit Agreement, in the event of any conflict between
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor

Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or
obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party

action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
Section 4.
Delivery and Control of Security Collateral
. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:
(a) All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral (if
certificated) shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent
pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;
provided
that no Grantor shall be
required to deliver an instrument representing Pledged Debt if the principal amount of such
Pledged Debt is less than $1,000,000. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange certificates or
instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments
of smaller or larger denominations.
(b) With respect to any Security Collateral that constitutes an uncertificated security
that is at any time subject to Article 8 of the UCC and is not held in a Securities Account,
the relevant Grantor will cause, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each issuer
thereof that is a Subsidiary of such Grantor to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Security Collateral in a form and substance that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent (such agreement being an
Uncertificated Security Control Agreement
).
(c) With respect to (i) the Securities Accounts and (ii) any Security Collateral that
constitutes a security entitlement as to which the financial institution acting as
Collateral Agent hereunder is not the securities intermediary, the relevant Grantor will
cause the securities intermediary with respect to each such account or security entitlement
either (A) to identify in its records the Collateral Agent as the entitlement holder thereof
or (B) to agree with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such securities intermediary
will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent without further
consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Borrower and Collateral Agent (a
Securities Account Control Agreement
);
provided,
however
, that the Collateral Agent will (i) not give any such orders except after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) upon cure (but not a
partial cure) or waiver of any previously continuing Event of Default, the Collateral Agent
shall take such action, at the expense of such Grantor, as shall be reasonably
Dana Revolving Facility Security Agreement
8
necessary to reconvey to such Grantor the right to give entitlement orders and
instructions or directions to any issuer of uncertificated securities or securities
intermediary.
(d) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will notify each issuer of Securities
Collateral (other than any other Loan Party) in which a security interest has been granted
by it hereunder that such Securities Collateral is subject to the security interest granted
hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4, so long as the Term Facility
Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) is acting as bailee and as
agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, any obligation of any Grantor in this Agreement that requires
delivery of Collateral to, or the possession of Collateral with, the Collateral Agent shall
be deemed complied with and satisfied in the event that such delivery of Collateral has been
made to, or such possession of Collateral is with, the Term Facility Collateral Agent (as
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).
Section 5.
Maintaining the Account Collateral
. So long as any Secured Obligations shall remain
outstanding or any Lender shall have any Commitment, subject to the terms and provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement:
(a) Each Grantor will maintain Pledge Deposit Accounts only with the financial
institution acting as Collateral Agent hereunder or with a bank (a
Pledged Account Bank
)
that has agreed with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent to comply with instructions
originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of funds in such deposit
account without the further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and Collateral Agent (each, a
Deposit
Account Control Agreement
);
provided
,
however
, that this Section 5(a) shall not apply to an
Excluded Account or where the Collateral Agent is the bank. So long as a Cash Control
Trigger Event has not occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent agrees that (i) it
shall not issue any instructions to any Pledged Account Bank or withhold any withdrawal
rights from such Grantor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any deposit
account and (ii) upon (x) cure (but not a partial cure) or waiver of any previously
continuing Cash Control Trigger Event, the Collateral Agent shall thereafter take such
action, at the expense of such Grantor, as shall be reasonably necessary to reconvey to such
Grantor the right to give instructions directing the disposition of funds credited to any
such deposit account.
(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Control Trigger Event,
each Grantor will promptly instruct each Person (an
Obligor
) obligated at any time to make
any payment to such Grantor for any reason with respect to the Revolving Facility First Lien
Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to make such payment to a Pledged
Deposit Account or the Collateral Account, except that such Grantor shall not be under such
obligation with respect to Persons (i) making payments to a Pledged Deposit Account or
Collateral Account as of the date hereof, (ii) making payments to such Grantor less than
$1,000,000 a year in the aggregate, or (iii) making payments to accounts not purported to be
subject to the security interest of the Secured Parties in accordance with the Credit
Agreement, if any.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Control Trigger Event and upon written
notice thereof from Collateral Agent to the Pledged Account Bank (the
Notice of Exclusive
Control
), (i) all cash and Cash Equivalents in the Pledged Deposit Account shall be
transferred to the
Dana Revolving Facility Security Agreement
9
Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) all
cash and Cash Equivalents in the Collateral Account shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Control
Trigger Event, any cash or Cash Equivalents owned by any Grantor (other than amounts on
deposit in Excluded Accounts) with respect to Revolving First Lien Collateral are deposited
to any account, or held or invested in any manner, other than in a Pledged Deposit Account
or the Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent may require the applicable Grantor to close
such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Pledged Deposit Account, and all
future deposits made to a Pledged Deposit Account. In addition to the foregoing, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor
shall provide the Collateral Agent with an accounting of the contents in each Pledged
Deposit Account, which shall identify, to the extent practical, the proceeds from the Term
Facility First Lien Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) which were
deposited in the Pledged Deposit Account and swept into the Collateral Account. Upon the
receipt of the (y) contents of the Pledged Deposit Accounts, and (z) such accounting, the
Collateral Agent agrees to remit to the collateral agent under the Term Facility the
proceeds from the Term Facility First Lien Collateral received by the Collateral Agent.
(e) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have delivered a Notice of Exclusive
Control to a Pledged Account Bank at which a Pledged Deposit Account is held, and thereafter
Availability exceeds $75,000,000 for thirty (30) consecutive days, the Collateral Agent,
subject to no Event of Default existing at such time, shall deliver a written notice to such
Pledged Account Bank rescinding the Notice of Exclusive Control previously delivered.
(f) Upon any termination by a Grantor of any Pledged Deposit Account, such Grantor will
immediately (i) transfer all funds and property held in such terminated Pledged Deposit
Account to another Pledged Deposit Account or other account if a Deposit Account Control
Agreement is entered into in respect of such other account or the Collateral Account and
(ii) notify all Obligors that were making payments to such Pledged Deposit Account to make
all future payments to another Pledged Deposit Account or other account if a Deposit Account
Control Agreement is entered into in respect of such other account or the Collateral
Account, in each case so that the Collateral Agent shall have a continuously perfected
security interest in such Account Collateral, funds and property.
Section 6.
Investing of Amounts in the Collateral Account
. The Collateral Agent will, subject to
Sections 5, 7 and 21, from time to time (a) invest, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank
to invest, amounts received with respect to the Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents
credited to the Collateral Account as the Borrower may select so long as no Cash Collateral Trigger
Event has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent may approve, and (b) invest interest
paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (a) above, and reinvest other proceeds of any
such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in
the same manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as
provided above shall be deposited and held in the Collateral Account subject to Sections 5, 7 and
21. In addition, subject to Sections 5, 7 and 21, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any
time to exchange, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to exchange, such Cash Equivalents
for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents,
credited to the Collateral Account.
Section 7.
Release of Amounts
. So long as no Cash Control Trigger Event shall have occurred and
be continuing , the Grantors shall have the sole and exclusive right to direct the applicable
Dana Revolving Facility Security Agreement
10
Pledged Account Bank to pay and release, to the applicable Grantor or at its order or, at the
request of such Grantor, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the
Grantors under the Loan Documents, such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the Collateral
Account and the Pledged Deposit Accounts.

Collateral Agent in connection therewith for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the
security interest granted by this Agreement.

,
however
, that the Collateral
Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and
Dana Revolving Facility Security Agreement
16
upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify each Obligor
under any Receivables and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Receivables and
Related Contracts to the Collateral Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all
amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent
and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any
such Receivables and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done,
and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Receivables and Related Contracts,
including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After
receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to
the preceding sentence upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (i) all amounts and proceeds (including,
without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Receivables and
Related Contracts of such Grantor shall be deemed to be received in trust for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and
shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with
any necessary indorsement) to be deposited in a Pledged Deposit Account to be designated by
Collateral Agent and either (A) released to such Grantor on the terms set forth in Section 7
if such Event of Default has been cured or waived or (B) if any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 21(b) and (ii) such Grantor will
not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on
any Related Contract, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof or allow any credit or
discount thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to
payment under any of the Receivables and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or
obligations of the Obligor thereof.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verification of the
Receivables (other than Receivables that any Loan Party is required to maintain as
classified) in any manner and through any medium that it considers advisable in its
reasonable discretion, and each Grantor agrees to furnish all such assistance and
information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith.
Section 13.

expense, all necessary steps in accordance with the exercise of such Grantors commercially
reasonable business judgment in such Grantors ordinary course of business, including,
without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and
any other applicable governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability
of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral
in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent,
trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such

shall, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, abandon any Intellectual
Property Collateral that is material to the use and operations of the Collateral or to the
business, results of operations, or
Dana Revolving Facility Security Agreement
17
financial condition of such Grantor (each such Intellectual Property Collateral a
Material Intellectual Property Collateral
), discontinue use of any Trademark included in
the Material Intellectual Property Collateral or abandon any right to file an application
for patent, trademark, or copyright unless such Grantor shall have previously determined, in
its reasonable business judgment, that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such
Material Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such
Grantors business and that the loss thereof, either individually or in the aggregate, would
not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such Grantor will
give prompt notice of any such abandonment to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if such Grantor becomes
aware (i) that any item of the Material Intellectual Property Collateral has become
abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable (other than as a result of
the expiration of the statutory term for such Material Intellectual Property Collateral), or
of any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantors ownership of any of the
Material Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to register the same or to keep and
maintain and enforce the same to the extent the happening of such an event would reasonably
be expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of the Intellectual
Property Collateral, or (ii) of any adverse determination (including, without limitation,
the institution of any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court)
regarding any item of the Material Intellectual Property Collateral.
(c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of Intellectual Property
Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall
promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall take commercially reasonable actions (unless
failure to take such actions would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect), at its expense, to protect or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral,
including, without limitation, as Grantor or the Collateral Agent deems necessary or
desirable in its reasonable business discretion, suing for infringement or misappropriation
and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.
(d) Each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable actions to use proper statutory
notice in connection with its use of each item of Material Intellectual Property Collateral
owned by such Grantor as reasonably necessary to maintain such Grantors rights therein. No
Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its
Material Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or
placed in the public domain.
(e) Each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable actions which it or the Collateral
Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each
item of its Material Intellectual Property Collateral, consistent in all material respects
with the quality of the products or services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps
reasonably necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such
consistent standards of quality.
(f) With respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to
execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit B
hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Borrower and Collateral Agent (an
Intellectual Property Revolving Facility Security
Agreement
), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent
in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office and any other
Dana Revolving Facility Security Agreement
18
governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such
Intellectual Property Collateral.
(g) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest in or license to
any item of the type set forth in Section 1(f) that is not on the Closing Date a part of the
Intellectual Property Collateral, but otherwise would be part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral if such Grantor had an ownership interest in or license to such item on the
Closing Date (
After-Acquired Intellectual Property
) (i) the provisions of this Agreement
shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property
and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become
part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement with respect thereto (
provided
that no security interest shall be granted in
United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the
period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or
enforceability, or result in the cancellation, of such intent-to-use trademark applications
under applicable federal law). Each Grantor shall give written notice to the Collateral
Agent identifying any patents, patent applications, trademark and service mark
registrations, trademark and service mark applications, copyright registrations, and
copyright applications that are part of the After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and, such
Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent with such written notice, or
otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit C
hereto
or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to and requested by the
Collateral Agent (an
IP Revolving Facility Security Agreement Supplement

After-Acquired Intellectual Property for recording the security interest granted hereunder
to the Collateral Agent in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, which IP Security
Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security
interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, to the extent perfection
may be achieved by making such recordings. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each
Grantor shall have no obligation to file any such instruments or statements for such
After-Acquired Intellectual Property outside of the United States under this Section 13(g).

,
however
, that no vote shall be cast, consent
given or right exercised or other action taken by such Grantor which would impair
the Pledged Collateral or which would be inconsistent in any material respect with
or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or, without prior notice to the Collateral Agent, to enable or take any
other action to permit any issuer of Pledged Equity to issue any stock or other
equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or

extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan
Documents;
provided
,
however
, that any and all Distributions paid or payable other
than in cash (other than in connection with a partial or total liquidation or
dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or
paid-in-surplus) in respect of, and instruments and other property received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security
Collateral, shall, except to the extent constituting Excluded Assets, be, and,
subject to the limitations in the definition of Collateral shall be promptly
delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as, Security Collateral and shall, if

Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be
promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form
as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed without further action or formality
to have granted to each Grantor all necessary consents relating to voting rights and
shall, if necessary, upon written request of any Grantor, from time to time execute

instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such
Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise

Collateral Agent, cease and (y) to receive Distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 14(a)(ii) shall automatically

Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall return to each Grantor all cash and
funds that the Collateral Agent has received pursuant to subsection (ii) of this
clause (b) and that such Grantor is entitled to retain pursuant to Section 14(a)(ii)
if such cash or funds have not been applied to repayment of the Secured Obligations.

other than the Collateral Agent, except to the extent permitted pursuant to this Agreement.

Collateral Agent its rights (including its contingent rights) to the proceeds of all Related
Contracts consisting of letters of credit of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or
assignee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will
promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of each letter of credit with a
face amount in excess of $1,000,000 and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to
consent to such Grantors assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a consent in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and deliver written evidence of such
consent to the Collateral Agent.

Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letters of credit.

cause each issuer which is a Loan Party of the Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor not to issue
any Equity Interests or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity
issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor or except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, and

performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 21.
Section 20.
The Collateral Agents Duties
.
(a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
Secured Parties interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the safe custody of
any Collateral in its possession or in the possession of an Affiliate of the Collateral
Agent or any designee (including without limitation, a Subagent) of the Collateral Agent
acting on its behalf and the accounting for moneys actually received by it or its Affiliates
hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to
have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve
rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral
Agent and any of its Affiliates or any designee (including without limitation, a Subagent)
on its behalf shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of any Collateral in its possession or in the possession of an Affiliate or any
designee (including without limitation, a Subagent) on its behalf if such Collateral is
accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may
from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more
subagents (each, a
Subagent
) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any
part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent
with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the
security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for
purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the
Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the
Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in
addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and
remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and pursuant to the terms hereof, with respect to
such Collateral, and (iii) the term Collateral Agent, when used herein in relation to any
rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to
such Collateral, shall include such Subagent;
provided
,
however
, that no such Subagent shall
be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to
the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.
Section 21.

also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it
will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral
Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed
by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent
Dana Revolving Facility Security Agreement
22
at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of
the Collateral Agents offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and
upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) to the
extent permitted under such Grantors lease, occupy any premises where the Collateral or any
part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its
rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of
such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors
under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral,
including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise
require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Receivables,
the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the
withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other
rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other

Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least
ten days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

- 21 -
committee (or subcommittee) present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts
unanimously approved in writing, will be the acts of the committee (or subcommittee).
(b) The interpretation and construction by the Compensation Committee of any provision of the
Plan or of any agreement, notification or document evidencing the grant of an Award, and any
determination by the Compensation Committee pursuant to any provision of the Plan or of any such
agreement, notification or document will be final and conclusive. No member of the Board will be
liable for any such action or determination made in good faith.
(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board or the Compensation Committee, as
applicable, may, from time to time, delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more
officers of the Corporation, or to one or more agents or advisors, such administrative duties or
powers as it may deem advisable, and the Board, the Compensation Committee, the committee, or any
person to whom duties or powers have been delegated as aforesaid, may employ one or more persons to

hereof, in the Option Price
and Base Price provided in outstanding Option Rights and Appreciation Rights, and in the kind of
shares covered thereby, as is equitably required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights

reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights
or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other corporate transaction or event having an
effect similar to any of the foregoing. Such adjustments shall be made automatically, without the
necessity of Board action, on the customary arithmetical basis in the
- 22 -
case of any stock split, including a stock split effected by means of a stock dividend, and in
the case of any other dividend paid in shares of Common Stock. Moreover, in the event of any such
transaction or event specified in this
Section 12
, the Board, in its discretion, may
provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under this Plan such alternative
consideration (including cash), if any, as it may determine, in good faith, to be equitable in the
circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced. The
Board also shall make or provide for such adjustments in the numbers of shares specified in
Section 3
of the Plan as is appropriate to reflect any transaction or event described in
this
Section 12
;
provided
,
however
, that any such adjustment to the number
specified in
Section 3(b)
will be made only if and to the extent that such adjustment would
not cause any Option Right intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail so to qualify.
13.

outstanding Awards shall lapse and become vested and non-forfeitable, and any specified Management
Objectives with respect to outstanding Awards shall be deemed to be satisfied at target.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in an Evidence of Award or by the Compensation Committee, to
the extent outstanding Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the
resulting entity in the event of a Change in Control, any outstanding Awards that are subject to

achieved as of the date of the Change in Control, and each award of: (i) Performance Shares or
Performance Units shall continue to vest during the remaining Performance Period, (ii) Restricted
Stock shall continue to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for the remaining
applicable period, (iii) Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest during the Restriction
Period, and (iv) all other Awards shall continue to vest during the applicable vesting period, if
any.

resigns his or her employment with an Employer for Good Reason, in either case, all outstanding
Awards held by the Participant that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable and all
restrictions with respect to outstanding Awards shall lapse and become vested and non-forfeitable.

Board in its discretion, at or after the Date of Grant, may (i) provide for the cancellation of
each outstanding and unexercised Option Right or Appreciation Right with an Option Price or Base
Price, as applicable, less than the highest price per share of Common Stock paid for a share of
Common Stock in the Change in Control (the Transaction Consideration) in
- 23 -
exchange for a cash payment to be made at the same time as the Transaction Consideration is
paid to holders of Common Stock in an amount equal to the amount by which the Transaction
Consideration exceeds the Option Price or Base Price, as applicable, multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock granted under the Option Right or Appreciation Right, and (ii) provide for
the cancellation of each outstanding and unexercised Option Right or Appreciation Right with an
Option Price or Base Price, as applicable, equal to or more than the Transaction Consideration
without any payment to the holder of such Option Right or Appreciation Right, as applicable.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent an Award
constitutes a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and such Award
shall be deemed to be vested or restrictions lapse, expire or terminate upon the occurrence of a
Change in Control and such Change in Control does not constitute a change in the ownership or
effective control or a change in the ownership or a substantial portion of the assets of the
Corporation within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, then even though such Award
may be deemed to be vested or restrictions lapse, expire or terminate upon the occurrence of the
Change in Control or any other provision of the Plan, payment will be made, to the extent necessary
to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, to the Participant on the earliest of:
(i) the Participants separation from service with the Corporation (determined in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code);
provided
,
however

promptly upon receiving notice of the Boards finding, the Participant shall:
(i) forfeit that Award to the extent then held by the Participant;

Award that were disposed of, pay to the Corporation or the Subsidiary, in cash, the
difference between:

Participant, and
|
- 24 -
|
(B)
|
|
the Market Value Per Share of the shares of Common Stock on the date acquired; and
|
(iv) pay to the Corporation or the Subsidiary in cash the Spread, with respect
to any Option Rights or Appreciation Rights exercised where no shares of Common
Stock were retained by the Participant upon such exercise.
(b) To the extent that such amounts are not paid to the Corporation or the Subsidiary, the
Corporation may seek other remedies, including a set off of the amounts so payable to it against
any amounts that may be owing from time to time by the Corporation or a Subsidiary to the
Participant for any reason, including, without limitation, wages, deferred compensation or vacation
pay.
15.
Non-U.S. Participants
. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of
grants under this Plan, the Board or the Compensation Committee may provide for such special terms
for awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Corporation or any
Subsidiary outside of the United States of America or who provide services to the Corporation or
any Subsidiary under an agreement with a foreign nation or agency, as the Board or the Compensation
Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy
or custom. Moreover, the Compensation Committee may approve such supplements to or amendments,
restatements or alternative versions of the Plan (including, without limitation, sub-plans) as it
may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes, without thereby affecting the terms of the
Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the Secretary of the Board or other appropriate
officer of the Corporation may certify any such document as having been approved and adopted in the
same manner as this Plan. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements, however,
will include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as then in effect
unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval
by the stockholders of the Corporation.
16.
Transferability
.
(a) Except as otherwise determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee pursuant to the
provisions of
Section 16(c)
, no Award or dividend equivalents paid with respect to Awards
made under this Plan shall be transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and may be otherwise transferred in a manner that protects the interest of the
Corporation as the Board or the Compensation Committee may determine;
provided
, that if so
determined by the Compensation Committee, each Participant may, in a manner established by the
Board or the Compensation Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the
Participant with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant and to receive shares of
Common Stock or other property issued upon such exercise.
(b) The Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer may specify at the Date of Grant that
part or all of the shares of Common Stock that are (i) to be issued or transferred by the
Corporation upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the
Restriction Period applicable to Restricted Stock Units or upon payment
- 25 -
under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units or (ii) no longer subject to the
substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in
Section 6
of the
Plan, will be subject to further restrictions on transfer.
(c) Notwithstanding
Section 16(a)
, the Board or the Compensation Committee may
determine that Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) may be transferable by a Participant,
without payment of consideration therefor by the transferee, only to any one or more family members
(as defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933) of the
Participant;
provided
,
however
, that (i) no such transfer shall be effective unless
reasonable prior notice thereof is delivered to the Corporation and such transfer is thereafter
effected in accordance with any terms and conditions that shall have been made applicable thereto
by the Board or the Compensation Committee, and (ii) any such transferee shall be subject to the
same terms and conditions hereunder as the Participant.
17.
Withholding Taxes
. To the extent that the Corporation is required to withhold federal,
state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a
Participant or other person under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Corporation for such
withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the
realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements
satisfactory to the Corporation for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld,
which arrangements (in the discretion of the Compensation Committee) may include relinquishment of
a portion of such benefit. If a Participants benefit is to be received in the form of shares of
Common Stock, and such Participant fails to make arrangements for the payment of tax, the
Corporation shall withhold such shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required
to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Participant is required to pay the
Corporation an amount required to be withheld under applicable income and employment tax laws, the
Participant may elect to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by electing to have withheld,
from the shares required to be delivered to the Participant, shares of Common Stock having a value
equal to the amount required to be withheld (except in the case of Restricted Stock where an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code has been made), or by delivering to the Corporation other
shares of Common Stock held by such Participant. In no event shall the Market Value Per Share of
the shares of Common Stock to be withheld pursuant to this section to satisfy applicable
withholding taxes in connection with the benefit exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be
withheld or such other amount that will not result in a negative accounting impact
.
Participants
shall also make such arrangements as the Corporation may require for the payment of any withholding
tax obligation that may arise in connection with the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired
upon the exercise of Option Rights.
18.
Compliance with Section 409A of the Code
(a) To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grants made hereunder are
exempt from Section 409A of the Code or are structured in a manner that would not cause a
Participant to be subject to taxes and interest pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. This Plan
and any grants made hereunder shall be administrated in a manner consistent with this intent.
- 26 -
(b) In order to determine for purposes of Section 409A of the Code whether a Participant is
employed by a member of the Corporations controlled group of corporations under Section 414(b) of
the Code (or by a member of a group of trades or businesses under common control with the
Corporation under Section 414(c) of the Code) and, therefore, whether the shares of Common Stock
that are or have been purchased by or awarded under this Plan to the Participant are shares of
service recipient stock within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code:
(i) In applying Code Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) for purposes of
determining the Corporations controlled group under Section 414(b) of the Code, the
language at least 50 percent is to be used instead of at least 80 percent each
place it appears in Code Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3); and
(ii) In applying Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2 for purposes of
determining trades or businesses under common control with the Corporation for
purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code, the language at least 50 percent is to be
used instead of at least 80 percent each place it appears in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.414(c)-2.
19.
Effective Date and Term of Plan
.
This Plan will be effective as of the Effective Date. No grant will be made under this Plan more
than ten (10) years after the date on which this Plan is first approved by the stockholders of the
Corporation, but all grants made on or prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter
subject to the terms thereof and of the Plan.
20.
Amendments and Termination
.
(a) The Board may at any time and from time to time, to the extent permitted by Section 409A,
amend, suspend or terminate this Plan in whole or in part;
provided
,
however
, that
if an amendment to this Plan (i) would materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants
under this Plan, (ii) would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under
this Plan, (iii) would materially modify the requirements for participation in this Plan, or (iv
)
must otherwise be approved by the stockholders of the Corporation in order to comply with
applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares of Common Stock are
not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange upon which
the shares of Common Stock are traded or quoted, then, such amendment will be subject to
stockholder approval and will not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained.
(b) Termination of the Plan will not affect the rights of Participants or their successors
under any Awards outstanding hereunder and not exercised in full on the date of termination.
(c) The Board or the Compensation Committee will not, without the further approval of the
stockholders of the Corporation, authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option Right or
Appreciation Right to reduce the Option Price or Base Price, respectively. No Option Right or
Appreciation Right will be cancelled and replaced with awards having a lower
- 27 -
Option Price or Base Price, respectively, or for another award, or for cash without further
approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, except as provided in
Section 12
.
Furthermore, no Option Right or Appreciation Right will provide for the payment, at the time of
exercise, of a cash bonus or grant of Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Performance Shares,
Performance Units, or grant or sale of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or other awards
pursuant to
Section 10
of the Plan, without further approval of the stockholders of the
Corporation. This
Section 20(c)
is intended to prohibit the repricing of underwater
Option Rights or Appreciation Rights without stockholder approval and will not be construed to
prohibit the adjustments provided for in
Section 12
of the Plan.
(d) In case of termination of service by reason of death, Disability or Normal Retirement, or
in the case of unforeseeable emergency or other special circumstances, of a Participant who holds
an Option Right or Appreciation Right not immediately exercisable in full, or any shares of
Restricted Stock as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction
on transfer has not lapsed, or any Restricted Stock Units as to which the Restriction Period has
not been completed, or any Performance Shares or Performance Units which have not been fully
earned, or any other awards made pursuant to
Section 10
subject to any vesting schedule or
transfer restriction, or who holds shares of Common Stock subject to any transfer restriction
imposed pursuant to
Section 16
of the Plan, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole
discretion, accelerate the time at which such Option Right, Appreciation Right or other award may
be exercised or the time at which such substantial risk of forfeiture or prohibition or restriction
on transfer will lapse or the time when such Restriction Period will end or the time at which such
Performance Shares or Performance Units will be deemed to have been fully earned or the time when
such transfer restriction will terminate or may waive any other limitation or requirement under any
such award, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would
result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the Award under Section 162(m) of the
Code.
(e) Subject to
Section 20(c)
hereof, the Compensation Committee may amend the terms of
any Award theretofore granted under this Plan prospectively or retroactively, except in the case of
a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise
available exemption of such Award under Section 162(m) of the Code. In such case, the Compensation
Committee will not make any modification of the Management Objectives or the level or levels of
achievement with respect to such Qualified Performance-Based Award. Subject to
Section 12
above, no amendment shall materially impair the rights of any Participant without his or her
consent.
21. Substitute Awards for Awards Granted by Other Entities. Substitute Awards may be granted
under this Plan for grants or awards held by employees of a company or entity who become employees
of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition, merger or consolidation of the
employer company by or with the Corporation or a Subsidiary. Except as otherwise provided by
applicable law and notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the terms, provisions and
benefits of the Substitute Awards so granted may vary from those set forth in or required or
authorized by this Plan to such extent as the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant may
deem appropriate to conform, in whole or part, to the terms, provisions and benefits of grants or
awards in substitution for which they are granted
.
- 28 -
22.
Governing Law
. This Plan and all grants and Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of
Delaware.
23.
Miscellaneous Provisions
.
(a) The Corporation will not be required to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock
pursuant to this Plan. The Board or the Compensation Committee may provide for the elimination of
fractions or for the settlement of fractions in cash.
(b) This Plan will not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of
employment or other service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any
way with any right the Corporation or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate such
Participants employment or other service at any time.
(c) To the extent that any provision of the Plan would prevent any Option Right that was
intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option from qualifying as such, that provision will be
null and void with respect to such Option Right. Such provision, however, will remain in effect
for other Option Rights and there will be no further effect on any provision of the Plan.
(d) The Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer may provide for termination of an
Award in the case of termination of employment or service of a Participant or any other reason;
provided
,
however
, that all Awards of a Participant will be immediately forfeited
and cancelled to the extent the Participants employment or service has been terminated for Cause,
and the Participant will have no further rights in respect of such Awards.
(e) No Award under this Plan may be exercised by the holder thereof if such exercise, and the
receipt of cash or stock thereunder, would be, in the opinion of counsel selected by the
Compensation Committee, contrary to law or the regulations of any duly constituted authority having
jurisdiction over this Plan.
(f) Absence on leave approved by a duly constituted officer of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries shall not be considered interruption or termination of service of any employee for any
purposes of the Plan or Awards granted hereunder, except that no Awards may be granted to an
employee while he or she is absent on leave.
(g) No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common
Stock subject to Awards granted to him or her under this Plan prior to the date as of which he or
she is actually recorded as the holder of such shares upon the stock records of the Corporation.
(h) The Compensation Committee may condition the grant of any Award or combination of Awards
authorized under this Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Participant of his or her right to
receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise payable by the Corporation or a Subsidiary to
the Participant.
- 29 -
(i) Except with respect to Option Rights and Appreciation Rights, the Compensation Committee
may permit Participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares of Common Stock or the settlement
of Awards in cash under this Plan pursuant to such rules, procedures or programs as it may
establish for purposes of the Plan. The Compensation Committee also may provide that deferred
issuances and settlements include the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents or interest on
the deferral amounts
.
(j) Any Award granted under the terms of the Plan may specify in the Evidence of Award that
the Participant is subject to restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, covenants not to
compete and covenants not to solicit, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.
(k) Participants shall provide the Corporation with a completed, written election form setting
forth the name and contact information of the person who will have beneficial ownership rights of
Awards made to the Participant under this Plan upon the death of the Participant.
(l) If any provision of the Plan is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, or would disqualify this Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the
Board or the Compensation Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended or limited
in scope to conform to applicable laws or, in the discretion of the Board or the Compensation
Committee, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and
effect.
