Explanatory Note
     On January 31, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), Dana Corporation (“Prior Dana”), together with certain of its affiliates (each, a “Debtor” and collectively, the “Debtors”) consummated the transactions contemplated by the Debtors’ Third Amended Joint and Consolidated Plan of Reorganization, dated October 23, 2007 (as it has been amended, modified, and supplemented, the “Plan”), under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”), as confirmed by the order (the “Confirmation Order”) of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on December 26, 2007 and emerged from chapter 11 in accordance with the Plan. For detailed information regarding the Plan, reference is made to Item 1.03 of Prior Dana’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 27, 2007. Dana Holding Corporation (the “Company”) is the successor registrant to Prior Dana pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In connection with the consummation of the Plan, the Company entered into a senior secured exit financing facility (the “Exit Facility”) as described in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and initiated the distributions under the Plan, including equity securities, to holders of general unsecured claims as described in Item 3.02 of this Form 8-K.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Preferred Stock Issuance
     Pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 5,400,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) on the Effective Date. The Series A Preferred Stock was sold to Centerbridge Partners, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“Centerbridge”) for $250 million, less a commitment fee of $2.5 million and expense reimbursement of $5 million, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $242.5 million. The Series B Preferred Stock was sold to certain qualified investors (as described in the Plan) for $540 million, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $540 million.
     In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreements and the Shareholders Agreement (each as defined below).
      Registration Rights Agreements . On the Effective Date, the Company entered two registration rights agreements: one with Centerbridge (the “Series A Registration Rights Agreement”) and the other with the purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement” and together with the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreements”). The Registration Rights Agreements provide registration rights for the shares of Preferred Stock and certain other equity securities of the Company.
     Under each Registration Rights Agreement, holders collectively holding more than 50% of the securities registrable under such Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) have demand registration rights to request that the Company use its

 


Table of Contents

reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities held by such requesting holders under the applicable Registration Rights Agreement, plus the Registrable Securities of any other holder giving the Company a timely request to join in such registration (a “Demand Registration”). Until such time as the Company is qualified to register the Registrable Securities on a registration statement on Form S-3, the parties under each Registration Rights Agreement are allowed only one Demand Registration. A registration is not deemed to be a Demand Registration if holders of less than 90% of the Registrable Securities are permitted to participate in such registration.
     Additionally, under the Registration Rights Agreements, if the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of other stockholders, then the Company must provide the holders of the Registrable Securities with piggyback registration rights to have their Registrable Securities included in such registration statement (in the case of an underwritten offering, pro rata after the securities that the Company is registering) (a “Piggyback Registration”). Once the Company qualifies to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities, the holders will be allowed up to four additional Demand Registrations under each Registration Rights Agreement subject to certain limitations. Registration rights are assignable to transferees of Registrable Securities that agree to be bound by the provisions of such Registration Rights Agreement.
     The Company is not required to effect a Demand Registration under the following circumstances if: (i) the Company would have to consent to service of process to effect the registration; (ii) the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration have an aggregate public offering price (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) below (a) in the case of the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, $25 million, and (b) in the case of the Series B Registration Rights Agreement, $54 million; (iii) the Company is actively pursuing another registration of its securities (other than with respect to an employee benefit plan or the registration of securities in a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”)); or (iv) the Company determines the Demand Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders; provided, that each of the circumstances specified in (iii) and (iv) above may be used to delay a registration under the applicable Registration Rights Agreement only once in any 12-month period. The Company is also not required to effect a Demand Registration on Form S-3 within 180 days of the effective date of the most-recent Demand Registration on Form S-3 in which the particular holder under the applicable Registration Rights Agreement could have participated.
     Under the Registration Rights Agreements, the Company has further agreed to keep each Demand Registration and any Piggyback Registrations effective for 90 days. Holders will be required to make certain representations to the Company (as described in the Registration Rights Agreements) in order to participate in either a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration. Holders will also be required to deliver certain information to be used in connection with either a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration to have their Registrable Securities included in such registrations. The Registration Rights Agreements contain other customary provisions, including customary indemnification provisions regarding the Company and the applicable holders.

     The Registration Rights Agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.
      Shareholders Agreement . On the Effective Date, the Company and Centerbridge entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) containing, among other things, the rights and restrictions described below.
     Centerbridge is limited for ten years from the Effective Date in its ability to acquire additional shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), if it would own more than 30% of the voting power of the Company’s equity securities after such acquisition, or to take other actions to control the Company after the Effective Date without the consent of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (excluding directors elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or nominated by the Series A Nominating Committee for election by the holders of Common Stock), including publicly proposing, announcing or otherwise disclosing an intent to propose, or entering into an agreement with any person for, (i) any form of business combination, acquisition or other transaction relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any form of restructuring, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iii) any demand to amend, waive or terminate the standstill provision in the Shareholders Agreement. Centerbridge has also agreed that it will not otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek or to offer to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company or its subsidiaries.
     Until such time as Centerbridge no longer beneficially owns at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, holders of Preferred Stock have preemptive rights sufficient to prevent dilution of ownership interests of such holders with respect to issuances of new shares of capital stock of the Company, other than shares of Common Stock if at the time of issuance the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, certain issuances to employees, directors or consultants of the Company or in connection with certain business acquisitions. Such preemptive rights require that such ownership interests must be offered by the Company on the same terms and purchase price as the new shares of capital stock to which such rights relate.
     For a period of three years, so long as Centerbridge owns Series A Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of at least $125 million, Centerbridge’s approval will be required for the Company to do any of the following:
    enter into material transactions with directors, officers or 10% stockholders (other than officer and director compensation arrangements);
 
    issue debt or equity securities senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock other than in connection with certain refinancings;
 
    issue equity at a price below fair market value;
 
    amend the Company’s bylaws in a manner that materially changes the rights of Centerbridge or stockholders generally or amend the charter (or similar constituent documents) of the Company;

Table of Contents

    subject to certain limitations, take any actions that would result in share repurchases or redemptions involving cash payments in excess of $10 million in any 12-month period;
 
    effect a merger or similar transaction that results in the transfer of 50% or more of the outstanding voting power of the Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or any other form of corporate reorganization in which 50% or more of the outstanding shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company is exchanged for or converted into cash, securities or property of another business organization;
 
    voluntarily or involuntarily liquidate the Company; or
 
    pay cash dividends on account of Common Stock or any other stock that ranks junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, including the Series B Preferred Stock (other than the stated 4% dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock).
     Centerbridge’s approval rights above are subject to override by a vote of two-thirds of the Company’s voting securities not owned by Centerbridge or any of its affiliates, and its approval rights for dividends and the issuance of senior or pari passu securities will end no later than the third anniversary of the Effective Date and may end after the first anniversary of the Effective Date if certain financial ratios are met.
     In the event that Centerbridge and its affiliates at any time own in excess of 40% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, on an as-converted basis, all voting securities in excess of such 40% threshold will be voted in the same proportion that the Company’s other stockholders vote their voting securities with respect to the applicable proposal.
     The Shareholders Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Shareholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Indemnification Agreements
     The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each current member of its Board of Directors and certain officers and expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with each future member of its Board of Directors and future officers of the Company. These agreements generally provide that, if the individual becomes involved in a claim (as defined in the agreement) by reason of an indemnifiable event (as defined in the agreement), the Company will indemnify the individual to the fullest extent permitted or required by the laws of the State of Delaware, against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of the claim.
     The form of the indemnification agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the form of indemnification agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The amendment also provided that the Rights Agreement would terminate and be of no further force or effect at the Final Expiration Date. As a result of these amendments, the rights outstanding under the Rights Agreement expired immediately prior to the Effective Date.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
     On the Effective Date, the Company, as Borrower, and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into the Exit Facility with Citicorp USA, Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Barclays Capital. The Exit Facility consists of a Term Facility Credit and Guaranty Agreement in the total aggregate amount of $1,430 million (the “Term Facility”) and a $650 million Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Revolving Facility”). The Term Facility was fully drawn in two borrowings of $1,350 million on the Effective Date and $80 million on February 1, 2008. Net proceeds were reduced by payment of original issue discount and other customary issuance costs and fees. There were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility, but $200 million was utilized for existing letters of credit.
     Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed with the final payment due and payable on January 31, 2013. Amounts outstanding under the Term Facility will be payable in equal quarterly amounts on the last day of each fiscal quarter at a rate of 1% per annum of the original principal amount of the Term Facility advances prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, with the remaining balance due in equal quarterly installments in the final year of the Term Facility and final maturity on January 31, 2015.
     The Exit Facility contains mandatory prepayment requirements in certain circumstances upon the sale of assets, insurance recoveries, the incurrence of debt, the issuance of equity securities and excess cash flow as defined in the agreement, subject to certain permitted reinvestment rights, in addition to the ability to make optional prepayments. Certain term loan

Table of Contents

prepayments are subject to a prepayment call premium prior to the second anniversary of the Term Facility.
     The Revolving Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on, at the option of the Company, the base rate or LIBOR rate (each as described in the Revolving Facility) plus a margin based on the undrawn amounts available under the Revolving Facility set forth below:
                 
Remaining Borrowing Availability   Base Rate Margin   LIBOR Rate Margin
Greater than $450
    1.00 %     2.00 %
Greater than $200 but less than or equal to $450
    1.25 %     2.25 %
$200 or less
    1.50 %     2.50 %
The Company will pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum for unused committed amounts under the Revolving Facility. Up to $400 million of the Revolving Facility may be applied to letters of credit. Issued letters of credit are treated as borrowed funds and reduce availability. The Company will pay a fee for issued and undrawn letters of credit in an amount per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR margin based on availability under the Revolving Facility and a per annum fronting fee of 0.25% payable quarterly.
     The Term Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on, at the option of the Company, the base rate or LIBOR rate (each as described in the Term Facility) plus a margin of 2.75% in the case of base rate loans or 3.75% in the case of LIBOR rate loans.
     For the first 24 months following the Effective Date, the LIBOR rates in each of the Revolving Facility and the Term Facility will not be less than 3.00%. Interest is due quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of each interest period with respect to LIBOR loans. For LIBOR loans with interest periods greater than 90 days, interest is payable every 90 days from the first day of such interest period and on the date such loan is converted or paid in full.
     Under the Exit Facility, the Company (with certain subsidiaries excluded) will be required to comply with customary covenants for facilities of this type. These include (i) affirmative covenants as to corporate existence, compliance with laws, after-acquired property or subsidiaries, environmental matters, insurance, payment of taxes, access to books and records, use commercially reasonable efforts to have credit ratings, use of proceeds, maintenance of cash management systems, priority of liens in favor of the lenders, maintenance of assets, interest rate protection and monthly, quarterly, annual and other reporting obligations, and (ii) negative covenants, including limitations on liens, additional indebtedness, guarantees, dividends, transactions with affiliates, investments, asset dispositions, nature of business, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, amendments to constituent documents, accounting changes, and limitations on restrictions affecting subsidiaries and sale and lease-backs.
     Under the Term Facility, the Company is required to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter:
  (i)   commencing as of December 31, 2008, a maximum leverage ratio of not greater than 3.10 to 1.00 at December 31, 2008 decreasing in steps to 2.25 to

Table of Contents

      1.00 as of June 30, 2013, based on the ratio of consolidated funded debt to the previous 12 month consolidated earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the agreements;
  (ii)   commencing as of December 31, 2008, minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.50 to 1.00 based on the previous 12 month consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for that period, as defined in the agreements; and
 
  (iii)   a minimum EBITDA of $211 million for the six months ending June 30, 2008 and of $341 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2008.
The Revolving Facility requires the Company to comply with a minimum fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00, measured quarterly, in the event availability under the Revolving Facility falls below $75 million for five consecutive business days.
     The Exit Facility includes customary events of default for facilities of this type, including failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due, breach of representations and warranties, breach of any covenant under the Exit Facility, cross-default to other indebtedness, judgment default, invalidity of any loan document, failure of liens to be perfected, the occurrence of certain ERISA events or the occurrence of a change of control. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, the Company’s lenders may have the right, among other things, to terminate their commitments under the Exit Facility, accelerate the repayment of all of the Company’s obligations under the Exit Facility and foreclose on the collateral granted to them.
     The Exit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries other than Dana Credit Corporation, Dana Companies, LLC and their respective subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, the Company and the guarantors entered into the Revolving Facility Security Agreement and the Term Facility Security Agreement. The Revolving Facility Security Agreement grants a first priority lien on the Company’s and the guarantors’ accounts receivable and inventory and a second priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ remaining assets, including a pledge of 65% of the stock of each foreign subsidiary owned by the Company and each guarantor. The Term Facility Security Agreement grants a second priority lien on accounts receivable and inventory and a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ remaining assets, including a pledge of 65% of the stock of each foreign subsidiary owned by the Company and each guarantor, as of the Effective Date.
     In connection with the Exit Facility, as of the Effective Date the Company also entered into the Intercreditor Agreement, which establishes the relationship between the security agreements described above.
     A portion of the proceeds from the Exit Facility was used to repay Prior Dana’s Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (which was terminated pursuant to its terms), make other payments required upon exit from bankruptcy protection and provide

liquidity to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes before original issue discount. As of February 5, 2008, the amount outstanding under the Term Facility was $1,430 million, and the amount utilized under the Revolving Facility was $200 million, attributable to issued but undrawn letters of credit.
     The Revolving Facility and Term Facility will receive ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investment Services.
     The Term Facility, the Revolving Facility, the Term Facility Security Agreement, the Revolving Facility Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the such documents is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Common Stock
     Under the Plan, the Company has issued or will issue 98,996,815 shares of the Common Stock to certain holders of general unsecured claims under the Plan and to certain employees. It will issue up to an additional 1,003,185 shares of Common Stock that will be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for a total of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock to employees. Of the shares issued to holders of general unsecured claims, approximately 27.6 million shares were issued to an escrow account for distribution with respect to disputed claims. At February 5, 2008, the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was 97,971,792 shares.
     The Company relied, based on the confirmation order it received from the Bankruptcy Court, on Section 1145(a)(1) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the offer and sale of the Common Stock to the general unsecured creditors. Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if three principal requirements are satisfied:
    the securities must be offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and must be securities of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan of reorganization with the debtor or of a successor to the debtor under the plan of reorganization;
 
    the recipients of the securities must hold claims against or interests in the debtor; and
 
    the securities must be issued in exchange, or principally in exchange, for the recipient’s claim against or interest in the debtor.

Preferred Stock
     Pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and 5,400,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock on the Effective Date. The Company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act to exempt the offer and sale of the Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. The description of the conversion and other rights of the Preferred Stock set forth in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

     The information regarding the Rights Agreement set forth under Item 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
     Pursuant to the Plan, all shares of Prior Dana’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date were cancelled upon emergence from bankruptcy protection. As contemplated by the Plan, former stockholders of Prior Dana will receive no distributions of Common Stock or other consideration. Under the Plan, unsecured creditors of Prior Dana have received or will receive approximately 99 million shares of Common Stock of the Company and investors have been issued 7,900,000 shares of voting preferred stock of the Company. As a result of the emergence from bankruptcy protection, the identity of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors is different from the Board of Directors of Prior Dana immediately prior to the Effective Date, as described in Item 5.02 below.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Carpenter, Richard M. Gabrys, Samir G. Gibara, Cheryl W. Grisé, James P. Kelly, Marilyn R. Marks and Richard B. Priory.

    four Directors chosen by Centerbridge, one of whom is required to be independent of the Company in accordance with the standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and one of whom is required to be independent of Centerbridge in accordance with such standards, determined as if such director was a director of Centerbridge and Centerbridge was a company whose securities are listed on the NYSE;

Table of Contents

    three Directors chosen by the official committee of the unsecured creditors (the “Creditors’ Committee”), each of whom must be independent of the Company in accordance with NYSE standards;

The terms of Mr. Marcin’s compensation arrangement will be set forth in an employment agreement to be entered into between the Company and Mr. Marcin.
      Equity Incentive Plan . As part of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, other employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and to motivate and provide to such persons incentives and rewards for superior performance. The eligibility requirements and terms governing the allocation of any Common Stock and the receipt of other consideration under the Equity Incentive Plan will be established and determined by the Board of Directors and/or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as applicable.
     Under the Equity Incentive Plan and subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Incentive Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or delivered
    upon the exercise of option rights or appreciation rights,
 
    as restricted shares and released from the substantial risk of forfeiture thereof,
 
    as settlement for restricted stock units upon satisfaction of the substantial risk of forfeiture thereof,
 
    in payment of performance shares or performance units that have been earned,
 
    as awards to non-employee directors, or
 
    in payment of dividend equivalents paid with respect to awards made under the Equity Incentive Plan,
may not exceed in the aggregate 16,090,000 shares, plus any shares relating to awards that terminate or are forfeited. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of incentive stock options may not exceed 4,000,000 shares. Further, no participant may be granted option rights or appreciation rights for more than 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock during any calendar year, subject to adjustments as provided in the Equity Incentive Plan. In no event may any participant receive restricted shares, restricted stock units or performance shares in the aggregate for more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock during any calendar year, or

13


Table of Contents

receive an award of performance units having an aggregate maximum value as of their respective dates of grant in excess of $10,000,000. The maximum number of shares that may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan is subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, spin-offs, reorganizations, liquidations, issuances of rights or warrants, and similar events of the Company.
     No grants may be made under the Equity Incentive Plan after December 25, 2017.
     Under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors may also, in its discretion, authorize the granting to non-employee directors of option rights and appreciation rights and may also authorize the grant of other awards.
     Upon a change in control of the Company, except as otherwise provided in the terms of the award or as provided by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to the extent outstanding awards are not assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity, all outstanding awards that may be exercised will become fully exercisable, all restrictions with respect to outstanding awards will lapse and become fully vested and non-forfeitable, and any specified performance measures with respect to outstanding awards will be deemed to be satisfied at target.
     The Equity Incentive Plan is included as Exhibit 10.10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Equity Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is incorporated herein by reference.
      Assumption of Existing Compensation Plans and Agreements . On the Effective Date, the Company and Dana Limited, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that owns the stock of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, assumed the obligations of Prior Dana under each of the following compensation plans and agreements:

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The following description of the material terms of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document.
Restated Certificate of Incorporation
      Authorized Stock . Pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 450,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
      Common Stock . Except as provided in the terms of the Preferred Stock or any other series of preferred stock to be issued, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder as of the record date for the meeting.
      Preferred Stock . As described above, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 5,400,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The following summary of

15


Table of Contents

the terms of the Preferred Stock is not complete and is qualified by reference to the terms of the Preferred Stock contained in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
     The price at which each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into Common Stock will be 83% of its distributable market equity value per share, which is the per share value of the Common Stock determined by calculating the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of such common stock on the principal exchange or over-the-counter market on which it trades (using the 22 trading days beginning on and including the first trading day after the Effective Date but disregarding the days with the highest and lowest volume-weighted average sale price during such period). If, as a result of such determination:
(i) the holders of the Preferred Stock would own, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, less than 32.0% of the Company’s issued shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Fully Diluted Shares”), necessary adjustments will be made such that the holders of Preferred Stock will own, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, 32.0% of the Fully Diluted Shares; or
(ii) the holders of the Preferred Stock would own, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, more than 36.3% of the Fully Diluted Shares, necessary adjustments will be made such that the holders of Preferred Stock will own, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, 36.3% of the Fully Diluted Shares.
     The percentages referred to in the preceding paragraph are subject to adjustment to the extent that the Company’s net debt plus the value of its minority interests as of the Effective Date is an amount other than $525 million, as described in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
     Shares of Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference of not more than $125 million and the Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at any time at the option of the applicable holder after the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date. The remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible at any time after the 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date. In addition, in the event that the per share closing sales price of the Common Stock exceeds 140% of the distributable market equity value per share (determined as described above) for at least 20 consecutive trading days beginning on or after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company will be able to cause the conversion of all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Stock. The price at which the Preferred Stock is convertible will be subject to adjustment in certain customary circumstances, including as a result of stock splits and combinations, dividends and distributions and certain issuances of common stock or common stock derivatives.
     The Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends at an annual rate of 4%, payable quarterly in cash. The shares will have equal voting rights and will vote together as a single class with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, except that the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote as a separate class to elect three directors as described in the following paragraph. For purposes of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Preferred Stock will rank senior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company, the terms of which are not expressly senior to or pari passu with the Preferred Stock.

16


Table of Contents

     Beginning at the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following the Effective Date, and for as long as the initial holder of the Series A Preferred Stock owns at least $125 million of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company’s Board of Directors will be composed of nine members, as follows: (i) three directors (one of whom must be independent of both the Company and Centerbridge) designated by Centerbridge and elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) one director who must be independent of both the Company and Centerbridge nominated by a special purpose nominating committee composed of two designees of Centerbridge and one other Board member pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, and (iii) five directors nominated by the Company’s Board of Directors and elected by the holders of the Company’s voting stock. With the exception of the three directors elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the remaining directors will be elected by holders of Common Stock and any other class of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors (including the Preferred Stock), voting together as a single class at each meeting of stockholders held for the purpose of electing directors. Holders of Preferred Stock will also have the right to elect two directors in the event that six quarterly dividends on the Preferred Stock are accrued but unpaid.
      Additional Preferred Stock . As described above, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, including the Preferred Stock described above. The Board is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each series voting rights, if any, designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions as provided in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board.
     The purpose of authorizing the Board to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. Shares of preferred stock may also be reissued by the Company following redemption of such shares by the Company or conversion of such shares by the holder, as applicable.
      Action by Written Consent . Stockholders may not generally take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. However, holders of a series of preferred stock may take action by written consent if expressly authorized to do so by the terms of the applicable series of preferred stock.
      Amendment of the Bylaws . Approval of two-third of the voting power of the Company, voting together as a class, is required to amend certain provisions of the Bylaws dealing with, among other things, special meetings, the size of the Board and the election and removal of directors.
Bylaws
     Except as described below, the Bylaws adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company are substantially similar to the Bylaws of Prior Dana:

17


Table of Contents

    holders of at least 20% of the voting power of the Company may instruct the Secretary of the Company to call a special meeting of stockholders;
 
    differences necessary due to the issuance of the Preferred Stock; and
 
    differences between Virginia (the state of incorporation of Prior Dana) and Delaware (the state of incorporation of the Company) corporate law.

     (i) Request for Registration . If the Company shall receive from an Initiating Holder, at any time, a written request that the Company effect any registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities, the Company will:
     (1) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and
     (2) as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within ten (10) business days after written notice from the Company is given under Section 2(a)(i)(1) above; provided , that the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2(a):
(A) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act or applicable rules or regulations thereunder;
(B) After the Company has effected one (1) such registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) and such registration has been declared or ordered effective and the sales of such Registrable Securities shall have closed; provided , however , that a registration shall not be deemed to constitute a registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) in the event that less than ninety percent (90%) of the Registrable Securities held by Holders participating in the registration are permitted to participate in such registration;

3


 

(C) If the Registrable Securities requested by all Holders to be registered pursuant to such request do not have an anticipated aggregate public offering price (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than $25,000,000;
(D) During the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the date three (3) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction under the Securities Act, with respect to an employee benefit plan or with respect to the Company’s first registered public offering of its stock); provided , that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided , however , that the Company may only delay an offering pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i)(2)(D) for a period of not more than thirty (30) days, if a filing of any other registration statement is not made within that period and the Company may only exercise this right once in any twelve (12)-month period; or
(E) If the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, in which case the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to comply with this Section 2(a) shall be deferred for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of written request from the Initiating Holders; provided , however , that the Company shall not exercise such right more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.
The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Section 2(a)(ii) below, include other securities of the Company that are held by Persons who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, are entitled to include their securities in any such registration (“ Other Stockholders ”). In the event any Holder requests a registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the registration shall provide for the resale by such partners or members, if requested by such Holder.
The registration rights set forth in this Section 2 may be assigned, in whole or in part, to any transferee of Registrable Securities (who shall be bound by all obligations of this Agreement).
     (ii) Underwriting . If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2(a)(i).

4


 

If Other Stockholders request inclusion of their securities in the underwriting, the Holders shall offer to include the securities of such Other Stockholders in the underwriting and may condition such offer on their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 2. The Holders whose shares are to be included in such registration and the Company shall (together with all Other Stockholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Initiating Holders and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(a), if the representative advises the Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting in accordance with Section 2(b)(ii); provided that such allocation shall be made in the following manner: (i) first, Pro Rata (as defined below) to Registrable Securities and securities entitled to registration under the Series B Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), regardless of the number of shares that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to securities that the Company desires to sell, and (iii), third, securities for the account of Other Stockholders that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons that can be sold, Pro Rata, in the case of (ii) and (iii) without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.. If any Holder or Other Stockholder who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided herein disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw therefrom by providing written notice to the Company, the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration.
     (b) Company Registration .
     (i) If the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities either for its own account or for the account of Other Stockholders, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction under the Securities Act, or a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities, the Company will:
     (1) promptly give to each of the Holders a written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws); and
     (2) include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by the Holders within ten (10) days after receipt of the written notice from the Company described in clause (1) above, except to the extent limited as set forth in Section 2(b)(ii) below. Such written request may specify all or a part of the Holders’ Registrable Securities. In the event any Holder requests inclusion in a registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) in connection with a

5


 

distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the registration shall provide for the resale by such partners or members, if requested by such Holder.
     (ii) Underwriting . If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise each of the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(b)(i)(1) above. In such event, the right of each of the Holders to registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be conditioned upon such Holders’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Holders whose shares are to be included in such registration shall (together with the Company and the Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(b), if the representative determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting in accordance with the allocation priority set forth below. The Company shall promptly advise all holders of securities requesting registration of such limitation, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting (the “ Maximum Number of Shares ”) shall be allocated in the following manner: (i) first , the securities that the Company desires to sell, regardless of the number of shares that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second , both (A) the Registrable Securities held by the Holders and (B) the securities held by holders of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to registration under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 31, 2008, among the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and the Company (the “ Series B Registration Rights Agreement ”), all pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Holder of Registrable Securities or holder of securities entitled to registration under the Series B Registration Rights Agreement, respectively, has requested be included in such registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “ Pro Rata ”), to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been exceeded; and (iii) third , to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses, the securities for the account of Other Stockholders that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons that can be sold, Pro Rata, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares (the foregoing allocation is referred to herein as the “ Allocation Priority ”). If any of the Holders or any officer, director or Other Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he she or it may elect to withdraw therefrom by providing written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
          (c) Form S-3 . The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 for secondary sales. After the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3, the Holders shall have the right to request up to four (4) registrations on Form S-3 (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of shares by such holders), provided , that

6


 

the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2(c):
     (i) Unless the Holder or Holders requesting registration propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities having an aggregate price to the public (before deduction of Selling Expenses) of more than $12,500,000;
     (ii) Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the effective date of the most recent registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) in which securities held by the requesting Holder could have been included for sale or distribution;
     (iii) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act or applicable rules or regulations thereunder;
     (iv) During the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the date three (3) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction under the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan); provided , that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided , however , that the Company may only delay an offering pursuant to this Section 2(c)(iv) for a period of not more than thirty (30) days, if a filing of any other registration statement is not made within that period and the Company may only exercise this right once in any twelve (12)-month period; or
     (v) If the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, in which case the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to comply with this Section 2(c) shall be deferred for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of written request from the Holders; provided , however , that the Company shall not exercise such right more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.
The Company shall give written notice to all Holders of the receipt of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2(c)and shall provide a reasonable opportunity for other Holders to participate in the registration; provided , that if the registration is for an underwritten offering, the terms of Section 2(a)(ii) above shall apply to all participants in such offering. Subject to the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect promptly the registration of all shares of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 to the extent requested by the Holder or Holders thereof for purposes of disposition. In the event any Holder requests a registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or

7


 

members, the registration shall provide for the resale by such partners or members, if requested by such Holder.
          (d)  Expenses of Registration . All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of their shares so registered.
          (e)  Registration Procedures . In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, the Company will keep the Holders, as applicable, advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its reasonable expense, the Company will:
          (i) keep such registration effective for a period of ninety (90) days;
     (ii) furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto as each of the Holders, as applicable, from time to time may reasonably request;
     (iii) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
     (iv) furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (1) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is reasonably and customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders participating in such registration and (2) a letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is reasonably and customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by applicable accounting standards, to the Holders participating in such registration.
     (f) Indemnification .
     (i) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and members, and each Person controlling each Holder, with respect to each registration which has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages

8


 

and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, issuer free-writing prospectus, offering circular or other document, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and members, and each Person controlling each such Holder, each such underwriter and each Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided , that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided , however , that the obligations of the Company to each Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of securities sold in such registration as contemplated herein.
     (ii) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter, each Other Stockholder and each of their respective officers, directors, partners and members, and each Person controlling such Other Stockholder against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, issuer free-writing prospectus, offering circular or other document made by such Holder in writing, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements by such Holder therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, the underwriters, and such Other Stockholders, and their respective directors, officers, partners, members, Persons or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided , however , that the obligations of each Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of securities sold in such registration as contemplated herein.
     (iii) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2(f) (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom;

9


 

provided , that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense (unless the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in such action, in which case the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), and provided further , that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2(f) unless the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
     (iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2(f) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions (or alleged statements or omissions) which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or alleged untrue) statement of a material fact or the omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any underwritten public offering contemplated by this Agreement are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall be controlling.
     (g)  Information by the Holders .
     (i) Each Holder including securities in any registration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in

10


 

writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 2.
     (ii) In the event that, either immediately prior to or subsequent to the effectiveness of any registration statement, any Holder shall distribute Registrable Securities to its partners or members, such Holder shall so advise the Company and provide such information as shall be necessary to permit an amendment to such registration statement to provide information with respect to such partners or members, as selling security holders. Promptly following receipt of such information, the Company shall file an appropriate amendment to such registration statement reflecting the information so provided. Any incremental expense to the Company resulting from such amendment shall be borne by such Holder.
     (h) Rule 144 Reporting .
          With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may permit the sale of restricted securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:
     (i) at all times make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”);
     (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements; and
     (iii) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing the Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
          (i)  Termination . The registration rights set forth in this Section 2 shall not be available to any Holder if, (i) in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, all of the Registrable Securities then owned by such Holder could be sold in any ninety (90)-day period pursuant to Rule 144(k) or are otherwise freely saleable or (ii) all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder have been sold in a registration pursuant to the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144.

     (1) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and
     (2) as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within ten (10) business days after written notice from the Company is given under Section 2(a)(i)(1) above; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2(a):
(A) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act or applicable rules or regulations thereunder;
(B) After the Company has effected one (1) such registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) and such registration has been declared or ordered effective and the sales of such Registrable Securities shall have closed; provided , however , that a registration shall not be deemed to constitute a registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) in the event that less than ninety percent (90%) of the Registrable Securities held by Holders participating in the registration are permitted to participate in such registration;

-3-


 

(D) During the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the date three (3) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction under the Securities Act, with respect to an employee benefit plan or with respect to the Company’s first registered public offering of its stock); provided , that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided , however , that the Company may only delay an offering pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i)(2)(D) for a period of not more than thirty (30) days, if a filing of any other registration statement is not made within that period and the Company may only exercise this right once in any twelve (12)-month period; or
(E) If the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, in which case the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to comply with this Section 2(a) shall be deferred for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of written request from the Initiating Holders; provided , however , that the Company shall not exercise such right more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

In the event any Holder requests a registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the registration shall provide for the resale by such partners or members, if requested by such Holder.
The registration rights set forth in this Section 2 may be assigned, in whole or in part, to any transferee of Registrable Securities (who shall be bound by all obligations of this Agreement).
     (ii) Underwriting . If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2(a)(i).

-4-


 

an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Initiating Holders and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(a), if the representative advises the Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting in accordance with Section 2(b)(ii); provided that such allocation shall be made in the following manner: (i) first, Pro Rata (as defined below) to Registrable Securities and securities entitled to registration under the Series A Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), regardless of the number of shares that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to securities that the Company desires to sell, and (iii), third, securities for the account of Other Stockholders that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons that can be sold, Pro Rata, in the case of (ii) and (iii) without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration.
     (b) Company Registration .
     (i) If the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities either for its own account or for the account of Other Stockholders, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction under the Securities Act, or a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities, the Company will:
     (1) promptly give to each of the Holders a written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws); and
     (2) include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by the Holders within ten (10) days after receipt of the written notice from the Company described in clause (1) above, except to the extent limited as set forth in Section 2(b)(ii) below. Such written request may specify all or a part of the Holders’ Registrable Securities. In the event any Holder requests inclusion in a registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the registration shall provide for the resale by such partners or members, if requested by such Holder.
     (ii) Underwriting . If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise each of the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(b)(i)(1) above. In such event, the right of each of the Holders to registration pursuant to this Section 2(b)

The Holders whose shares are to be included in such registration shall (together with the Company and the Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(b), if the representative determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting in accordance with the allocation priority set forth below. The Company shall promptly advise all holders of securities requesting registration of such limitation, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting (the “ Maximum Number of Shares ”) shall be allocated in the following manner: (i) first , the securities that the Company desires to sell, regardless of the number of shares that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second , both (A) the securities entitled to registration under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated on or about the Effective Date (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan), between Centerbridge Capital Partners, L.P., Centerbridge Capital Partners Strategic, L.P, Centerbridge Capital Partners SBS, L.P. and the Company (the “ Series A Registration Rights Agreement ”) and (B) the Registrable Securities that can be sold, all pro rata in accordance with the number of securities entitled to registration under the Series A Registration Rights Agreement and Registrable Securities, respectively, that each such holder of securities entitled to registration under the Series A Registration Rights Agreement or Holder has requested be included in such registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “ Pro Rata ”), without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, and; (iii) third , the Registrable Securities that can be sold, Pro Rata, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iv) fourth , to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses, the securities for the account of Other Stockholders that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons that can be sold, Pro Rata, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares (the foregoing allocation is referred to herein as the “ Allocation Priority ”). If any of the Holders or any officer, director or Other Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he she or it may elect to withdraw therefrom by providing written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

     (iv) During the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the date three(3) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction under the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan); provided , that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided , however , that the Company may only delay an offering pursuant to this Section 2(c)(iv) for a period of not more than thirty (30) days, if a filing of any other registration statement is not made within that period and the Company may only exercise this right once in any twelve (12)-month period; or
     (v) If the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, in which case the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to comply with this Section 2(c) shall be deferred for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of written request from the Holders; provided , however , that the Company shall not exercise such right more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.
The Company shall give written notice to all Holders of the receipt of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2(c)and shall provide a reasonable opportunity for other Holders to participate in the registration; provided , that if the registration is for an underwritten offering, the terms of Section 2(a)(ii) above shall apply to all participants in such offering. Subject to the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect promptly the registration of all shares of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 to the extent requested by the Holder or Holders thereof for purposes of disposition.

     (iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2(f) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions (or alleged statements or omissions) which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or alleged untrue) statement of a material fact or the omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any underwritten public offering contemplated by this Agreement are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall be controlling.

Exhibit 10.4
DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
     This Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement, dated as of                            ,         (this “ Agreement ”), is made by and between Dana Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and                                           (“ Indemnitee ”).
RECITALS :
     A. The Delaware courts have recognized that indemnification by a corporation serves the dual policies of (1) allowing corporate officials to resist unjustified lawsuits, secure in the knowledge that, if vindicated, the corporation will bear the expense of litigation and (2) encouraging capable women and men to serve as corporate directors and officers, secure in the knowledge that the corporation will absorb the costs of defending their honesty and integrity.
     B. Indemnitee is a director and/or officer of the Company and his/her willingness to serve in such capacity is predicated, in substantial part, upon the Company’s willingness to indemnify him/her in accordance with the principles reflected above, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware, and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement.
     C. Therefore, in recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with substantial protection against personal liability, in order to procure Indemnitee’s continued service as a director and/or officer of the Company and to enhance Indemnitee’s ability to serve the Company in an effective manner, and in order to provide such protection pursuant to express contract rights (intended to be enforceable irrespective of, among other things, any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (collectively, the “ Constituent Documents ”), any change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) or any change-in-control or business combination transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancement of Expenses (as defined in Section 2(e)) to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement and for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.
     D. In light of the considerations referred to in the preceding recitals, it is the Company’s intention and desire that the provisions of this Agreement be construed liberally, subject to their express terms, to maximize the protections to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder.
AGREEMENT :
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
      1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve [as a [director] [officer] [employee] [agent] of the Company] [, at the request of the Company, as a [director] [officer] [employee] [agent] [fiduciary] of [another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust employee benefit plan or other enterprise]. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from

 


 

such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries or any enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that Indemnitee’s employment with the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries or any enterprise), if any, is at will, and the Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, except as may be otherwise provided in any written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries or any enterprise), other applicable formal severance policies duly adopted by the Board, or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, by the Company’s Constituent Documents, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as an [officer] [director] [agent] [employee] of the Company.

                    (B) if any Person acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of combined voting power of the then-outstanding Voting Stock of the Company as a result of a transaction described in clause (A)(1) of Section 2(a)(i) and such Person thereafter becomes the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Stock of the Company representing 1% or more of the then-outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, other than in an acquisition directly from the Company that is approved by a majority of the Incumbent Directors or other than as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction effected by the Company in which all holders of Voting Stock are treated equally, such subsequent acquisition shall be deemed to constitute a Change in Control;
                    (C) a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if a Person acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Voting Stock of the Company as a result of a reduction in the number of shares of Voting Stock of the Company outstanding unless and until such Person thereafter becomes the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting

                    (D) if at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors determine in good faith that a Person has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Voting Stock of the Company inadvertently, and such Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of shares so that such Person beneficially owns less than 15% of the Voting Stock of the Company, then no Change in Control shall have occurred as a result of such Person’s acquisition; or

                    (B)  “Incumbent Directors” means the individuals who, as of the date hereof, are Directors of the Company and any individual becoming a Director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, or appointment, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the then Incumbent Directors (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the

3


 

Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination); provided , however , that an individual shall not be an Incumbent Director if such individual’s election or appointment to the Board occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest (as described in Rule 14a-12(c) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the election or removal of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board.

                    (D)  “Voting Stock” means securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or similar governing bodies).

          (e) Expenses means all reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses and all other costs and expenses paid or payable in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in (including on appeal), any Claim.
          (f) Indemnifiable Claim means any Claim based upon, arising out of or resulting from (i) any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, trustee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise, whether or not for profit, as to which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, trustee or agent, (ii) any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by Indemnitee in respect of any business, transaction, communication, filing, disclosure or other activity of the Company or any other entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of this

5


 

relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim paid or incurred by Indemnitee or which Indemnitee determines are reasonably likely to be paid or incurred by Indemnitee. Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct.

In connection with any such payment, advancement or reimbursement, Indemnitee shall execute and deliver to the Company an undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (subject to Indemnitee filling in the blanks therein and selecting from among the bracketed alternatives therein), which need not be secured and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses.

      6. Partial Indemnity. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Indemnifiable Loss, but not for all of the total amount thereof, the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
      7. Procedure for Notification . To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, including therein or therewith such documentation as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.

6


 

      8. Determination of Right to Indemnification .
          (a) To the extent that Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including without limitation dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with Section 3 and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 8(b)) shall be required.
          (b) To the extent that the provisions of Section 8(a) are inapplicable to an Indemnifiable Claim that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim (a “ Standard of Conduct Determination ”) shall be made as follows: (i) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, or if a Change in Control shall have occurred but Indemnitee shall have requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to this clause (i), (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board, (B) if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by a majority vote of a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of all Disinterested Directors, or (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and (ii) if a Change in Control shall have occurred and Indemnitee shall not have requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to clause (i), by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. Indemnitee will cooperate with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination, including providing to such person or persons, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business days of such request, any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination.
          (c) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Standard of Conduct Determination required under Section 8(b) to be made as promptly as practicable. If (i) the person or persons empowered or selected under Section 8 to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall not have made a determination within 60 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of written notice from Indemnitee advising the Company of the final disposition of the applicable Indemnifiable Claim (the date of such receipt being the “ Notification Date ”) and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, that is permitted under the provisions of Section 8(e) to make such determination and (ii) Indemnitee shall have fulfilled his/her obligations set forth in the second sentence of Section 8(b), then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person or persons making such determination in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluation or documentation and/or information relating thereto.

          (d) If (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7(a), (ii) no determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, or (iii) Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 7(b) or (c) to have satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law which is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, then the Company shall pay to Indemnitee, within 10 business days after the later of (x) the Notification Date in respect of the Indemnifiable Claim or portion thereof to which such Indemnifiable Losses are related, out of which such Indemnifiable Losses arose or from which such Indemnifiable Losses resulted and (y) the earliest date on which the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall have been satisfied, an amount equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses.
          (e) If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b)(i), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b)(ii), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five business days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other a written objection to such selection; provided , however , that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 2(h), and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences and clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within 30 days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8(e) or Indemnitee gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 8(e), as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person or firm selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 8(b).

      9. Presumption of Entitlement. In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, and the Company may, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, overcome such presumption only by its adducing clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim by Indemnitee for indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.
      10. No Other Presumption. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.
      11. Reliance as Safe Harbor . For purposes of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if Indemnitee’s actions or omissions to act are taken in good faith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished to Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company in the course of their duties, or by committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnity hereunder. The provisions of this Section 11 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
      12. Non-Exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder will be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent Documents, or the substantive laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, “ Other Indemnity Provisions ”); provided , however , that (a) to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity Provision, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder and (b) to the extent that any change is made to any Other Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided under this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder. The Company will not adopt any amendment to any of the Constituent Documents the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement or any Other Indemnity Provision.

      13. Liability Insurance and Funding.
          (a) For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible Indemnifiable Claim, but in no event for a period of less than six years after termination of such service, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and/or officers of the Company that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials, and shall provide Indemnitee with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the same. Without limiting the generality or effect of the two immediately preceding sentences, the Company shall not discontinue or significantly reduce the scope or amount of coverage from one policy period to the next (i)  without the prior approval thereof by a majority vote of the Incumbent Directors, even if less than a quorum, or (ii) if at the time that any such discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage is proposed there are no Incumbent Directors, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy. The Company may, but shall not be required to, create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means, including without limitation a letter of credit, to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations to indemnify and advance expenses pursuant to this Agreement.
          (b) Within five days of receipt of any notice of any Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the directors’ and officers’ liability insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or appropriate action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in accordance with the terms of such policies. The failure or refusal of such insurers to pay any such amount shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
      14. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related rights of recovery of Indemnitee against other persons or entities (other than Indemnitee’s successors), including any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 2(f). Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required to evidence such rights (all of Indemnitee’s reasonable Expenses, including attorneys’ fees and charges, related thereto to be reimbursed by or, at the option of Indemnitee, advanced by the Company).
      15. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve [as a [director] [officer] [employee] [agent] of the Company] [,at the request of the Company, as a [director] [officer] [employee] [agent] [fiduciary] of [another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust employee benefit plan or other enterprise] or (b) one (1) year after the final

10


 

termination of any Claim then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5 and 8 of this Agreement relating thereto.
      16. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (net of Expenses incurred in connection therewith) under any insurance policy, the Constituent Documents and Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise (including from any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 2(f)) in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
      17. Defense of Claims. The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that if Indemnitee believes, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such Indemnifiable Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall conclude that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, or (c) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any particular Indemnifiable Claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim to which the Indemnitee is, or could have been, a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided that Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee.
      18. Successors and Binding Agreement. (a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including without limitation any person acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be deemed the “ Company ” for purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable or delegatable by the Company.

11


 

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Indemnitee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, legatees and other successors.
          (c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 18(a) and 18(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Indemnitee’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by the Indemnitee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 18(c), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.
      19. Notices. For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications, including without limitation notices, consents, requests or approvals, required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof orally confirmed), or five business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or one business day after having been sent for next-day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) and to Indemnitee at the applicable address shown on the signature page hereto, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address will be effective only upon receipt.
      20. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably (i) consent to the jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement, (ii) agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, irrevocably RL&F Service Corp., One Rodney Square, 10th Floor, 10th and King Streets, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 as its agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.
      21. Validity. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to make it enforceable, valid or legal. In the event that any court or other adjudicative body shall decline to

12


 

reform any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the parties thereto shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to replace the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal with one or more alternative provisions that effectuate the purpose and intent of the original provisions of this Agreement as fully as possible without being invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal.
      22. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Indemnitee and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. References to Sections are to references to Sections of this Agreement.
      23. Legal Fees and Expenses. It is the intent of the Company that Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees and or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, if it should appear to Indemnitee that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 4) or in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, the Company irrevocably authorizes the Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to advise and represent Indemnitee in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense, including without limitation the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents to Indemnitee’s entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the Company and Indemnitee agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between Indemnitee and such counsel. Without respect to whether Indemnitee prevails, in whole or in part, in connection with any of the foregoing, the Company will pay and be solely financially responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing.
      24. Headings. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction or interpretation thereof.
      25. Certain Interpretive Matters. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (a) “it” or “its” or words of any gender include each other gender, (b) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, (c) the terms

13


 

“hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (d) the terms “Article,” “Section,” “Annex” or “Exhibit” refer to the specified Article, Section, Annex or Exhibit of or to this Agreement, (e) the terms “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” (whether or not so expressed), and (f) the word “or” is disjunctive but not exclusive. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number will refer to calendar days unless business days are specified and whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time or by a particular date that ends or occurs on a non-business day, then such period or date will be extended until the immediately following business day. As used herein, “business day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a United States federal holiday.
      26. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement. Delivery of a counterpart by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of an original.
      27. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Claim or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

          (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 Lender’s 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 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.

     (v) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.06(b) to the contrary, to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith and has documented in reasonable detail to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, that any portion of a distribution to any Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i), (ii) and (iv), in respect of Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow of any Foreign Subsidiary, would (i) result in material adverse tax consequences, (ii) result in a material breach of any agreement governing Debt of such Foreign Subsidiary permitted to exist or to be incurred by such Foreign Subsidiary under the terms of this Agreement and/or (iii) be limited or prohibited under applicable local law, the application of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to the prepayment of the Term Facility pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be deferred on terms to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that in each case the relevant Loan Party and/or Subsidiaries of such Loan Party shall take commercially reasonable steps (except to the extent that any such steps result in material cost or tax to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) to minimize any such adverse tax consequences and/or to obtain

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 Lender’s 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 Lender’s 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.

          (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 Agent’s 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 Lender’s 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.

          (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 Borrower’s 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.

(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 Lender’s 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 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,

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

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 Lender’s 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 Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s 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 Corporation and its Subsidiaries outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement in accordance with the Reorganization Plan, (ii) pay administrative and other related claims in accordance with the Reorganization Plan, (iii) pay fees and expenses associated with the consummation of the Transactions and (iv) make any other payments required to be made on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Plan and for other general corporate purposes.

          (b) Transactions with CNAI . Borrower will not use any of the proceeds of the Advances, 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 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

        Dana—Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement

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

     (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 Lender’s 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.

          Section 2.20 Replacement of Certain Lenders . In the event a Lender (“ Affected Lender ”) shall have (i) become a Defaulting Lender under Section 2.15, (ii) requested 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 such Lender which, in any case, are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders, or (iii) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 2.10(d) claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurodollar Rate Advances to the Borrower for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, then, in any case, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the case of a demand by the

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
Dana—Term 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.

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.
          (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 Agent’s 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.

          Section 7.04 Reliance by Agents .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Indemnitee’s 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, 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 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 (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender 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 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 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 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, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender 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 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 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 and each Agent, 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 and their respective 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.
          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 its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); 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, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $1,000,000 under 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 Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes (if

any) subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which shall not be payable by the Borrower). The parties hereto 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 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 Lender’s 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
Dana—Term 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 Lender’s 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 Lender’s 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.

          (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
Dana—Term 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 Agent’s or such Lender’s 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

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 Lender’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Lender’s 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 Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.
Dana—Term 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 Lender’s 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

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.

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 Bank’s 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 Lender’s 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 .

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 Lender’s 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.

available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s 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 Lender’s 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 Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.

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.

     (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;

     (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 Borrower’s 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 Bank’s, any such Agent-Related Person’s, or any of such respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Issuing Bank or of any Agent-Related Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s 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.

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.

          (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 Agent’s 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 Party’s 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 Borrower’s 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.

          (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 Party’s 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

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)

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

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 Party’s 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 Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s 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 Borrower’s 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.

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.

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 and such other Lender Parties 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 Lender Parties, 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 the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender; and

          (c) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender Party 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 Party 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 Party 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 Party, 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 the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender for any amounts then due and payable to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, by such Defaulting Lender, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender;

     (iv) fourth, 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 Party 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 Party shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party and applied by such Lender Party to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party 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 Party may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.
          Section 2.16 Evidence of Debt . (a) 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 Lender’s 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.
          (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subSection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(the “ Agent Concentration Account ”).
          (c) If (i) at any time during the continuance of a Cash Control Trigger Event, any cash or Cash Equivalents owned by a Loan Party are deposited in any account (other than an Excluded Account), or held or invested in any manner (other than (x) in the Concentration Account that is subject to the Blocked Account Agreement, (y) in a Concentration Account that is maintained with the Collateral Agent or (z) a DDA which is swept daily to a Concentration Account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement), or (ii) at any time, a Concentration Account shall cease to be subject to a Blocked Account Agreement, the applicable Loan Party shall as soon as practicable furnish the Collateral Agent with written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent may require such Loan Party to close such account and have any such funds transferred to a Concentration Account which is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, during the continuance of a Cash Control Trigger Event, the Loan Parties shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, provide such Agent with an accounting of the contents of the Concentration Accounts, which shall identify, to the extent practicable, any proceeds from Term Facility Collateral which were deposited into any Loan Party Concentration Account and swept to the Agent Concentration Account. Upon the receipt of (x) the contents of such Loan Party Concentration Accounts and (y) such accounting, the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly remit to the Collateral Agent such proceeds of Term Facility Collateral received by the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.
          (d) A Loan Party may close DDAs or a Concentration Account, maintain existing DDAs or Concentration Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Concentration Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Collateral Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements with respect to each Concentration Account (except with respect to any Concentration Account maintained with the Collateral Agent) consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.17 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

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.

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 “ Agent’s 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 Agent’s 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 Agent’s 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 Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s 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 Agent’s 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 Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to

any Lender Party.

          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 Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated and in the case of the Administrative Agent, the retiring Issuing Bank’s 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 such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Agent’s 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 Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s 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

          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.

          (d) to acquire, hold and enforce any and all Liens on Collateral granted by and of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such other powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

          (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.
          This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or by any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

          (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 Party’s 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 Party’s 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.

          (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 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.

          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 Agent’s or such Lender Party’s 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 Party’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Lender Party’s 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.

          (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 Party’s designee’s 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

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 Party’s 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 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 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 Lender Parties 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 Party in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

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.

     (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

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.

     7.  Restricted Stock Units . The Compensation Committee or, in accordance with Section 11(d) , an Authorized Officer may grant or sell Restricted Stock Units to Participants. Each such grant or sale will utilize any or all of the authorizations as specified in the following provisions:
          (a) Each such grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units will constitute the agreement by the Corporation to deliver shares of Common Stock or cash to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, but subject to the fulfillment of such conditions (which may include the achievement of Management Objectives) during the Restriction Period as the Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer may specify. Each grant may specify in respect of such Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level or levels of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the number of shares of Restricted Stock Units on which restrictions will terminate if performance is at or above the minimum level(s), but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives. The grant or sale of such Restricted Stock Units will specify that, before the termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Units, the Compensation Committee must certify that the Management Objectives have been satisfied.
          (b) Each such grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by such Participant that is less than the Market Value Per Share at the Date of Grant.
          (c) If the Restriction Period lapses only by the passage of time, each such grant or sale will be subject to a Restriction Period (which may include pro-rata, graded or cliff vesting over such period), as determined by the Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer at the Date of Grant. In the case of grants that are a form of payment for earned

- 17 -


 

Performance Shares or Performance Units or other awards, such grant may provide for no Restriction Period.
          (d) Each such grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units may provide for the earlier lapse or other modification of such Restriction Period in the event of, termination without Cause, resignation for Good Reason, Normal Retirement, termination due to death or Disability of the Participant, a Change in Control or the grant of a Substitute Award.
          (e) During the Restriction Period, the Participant will have none of the rights of a stockholder of any shares of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, but the Compensation Committee may, at the Date of Grant, authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such Restricted Stock Units on either a current, deferred or contingent basis, either in cash or in additional shares of Common Stock.
          (f) Each grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units will specify the time and manner of payment of Restricted Stock Units that have been earned. Any grant or sale may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may be paid by the Corporation in cash, in shares of Common Stock or in any combination thereof and may either grant to the Participant or retain in the Compensation Committee the right to elect among those alternatives.
          (g) Each such grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units will provide that during the period for which such Restriction Period is to continue, the transferability of the Restricted Stock Units will be prohibited or restricted in the manner and to the extent prescribed by the Compensation Committee at the Date of Grant (which restrictions may include, without limitation, rights of repurchase or first refusal in the Corporation or provisions subjecting the Restricted Stock Units to a continuing substantial risk of forfeiture in the hands of any transferee).
          (h) Each grant or sale of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award and will contain such terms and provisions, consistent with this Plan, as the Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer may approve.
          (i) Except as provided in an Evidence of Award, in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment or service, any of the Participant’s Restricted Stock that remain subject to the Restriction Period on the Participant’s Termination Date will be cancelled and immediately forfeited without further action on the part of the Corporation or the Compensation Committee, and the Participant will have no further rights in respect of such Restricted Stock Units.
     8.  Performance Shares and Performance Units . The Compensation Committee or, in accordance with Section 11(d) , an Authorized Officer may grant Performance Shares and Performance Units that will become payable to a Participant upon achievement of specified Management Objectives during the Performance Period. Each such grant will utilize any or all of the authorizations as specified in the following provisions:
          (a) Each grant will specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units to which it pertains, which number may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors; provided , however , that no such adjustment will be made in the

- 18 -


 

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.
          (b) The Performance Period with respect to each Performance Share or Performance Unit will be such period of time, as determined by the Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer at the Date of Grant.
          (c) Any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units will specify Management Objectives, which, if achieved, will result in payment or early payment of the Award, and each grant may specify in respect of such specified Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level or levels of achievement and will set forth a formula for determining the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units that will be earned if performance is at or above the level(s), but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives. The grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units will specify that, before the Performance Shares or Performance Units will be earned and paid, the Compensation Committee must certify that the Management Objectives have been satisfied.
          (d) Any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units may provide for the earlier lapse or other modification in the event of, termination without Cause, resignation for Good Reason, Normal Retirement, termination due to death or Disability of the Participant, a Change in Control or the grant of a Substitute Award.
          (e) Each grant will specify the time and manner of payment of Performance Shares or Performance Units that have been earned. Any grant may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may be paid by the Corporation in cash, in shares of Common Stock, in Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or in any combination thereof and may either grant to the Participant or retain in the Compensation Committee the right to elect among those alternatives; provided , however , that as applicable, the amount payable may not exceed the maximum amount payable, as may be specified by the Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer on the Date of Grant.
          (f) The Compensation Committee may, at or after the Date of Grant of Performance Shares, provide for the payment of dividend equivalents to the holder thereof on either a current, deferred or contingent basis, either in cash or in additional shares of Common Stock.
          (g) Each grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award and will contain such other terms and provisions, consistent with this Plan, as the Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer may approve.
          (h) Except as provided in an Evidence of Award, in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment or service, any of the Participant’s Performance Shares and Performance Units that remain subject to a Performance Period on the Participant’s Termination Date will be cancelled and immediately forfeited, without further action on the part of the Corporation or the Compensation Committee, and the Participant will have no further rights in respect of such Performance Shares or Performance Units.

The Board may, from time to time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize the granting to Non-Employee Directors, Option Rights, Appreciation Rights or other awards contemplated by Section 10 of the Plan and may also authorize the grant or sale of shares of Common Stock, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to Non-Employee Directors.
          (a) Each grant of Option Rights awarded pursuant to this Section 9 will be upon terms and conditions consistent with Section 4 of the Plan.

          (f) If a Non-Employee Director subsequently becomes an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary while remaining a member of the Board, any Award held under this Plan by such individual at the time of such commencement of employment will not be affected thereby.
          (g) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5 , 6 or 7 to the contrary, each grant pursuant to this Section 9 may specify the period or periods of continuous service, if any, by the Non-Employee Director with the Corporation that are necessary before such awards or installments thereof shall become fully exercisable or restrictions thereon will lapse, which shall be determined on the Date of Grant.
     10.  Other Awards.
          (a) The Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer may, subject to limitations under applicable law, authorize grants or sales to any Participant other awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to (i) shares of Common Stock or factors that may influence the value of such shares, including, without limitation, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, purchase rights for shares of Common Stock, awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Corporation or specified Subsidiaries, affiliates or other business units thereof or any other factors designated by the Compensation Committee, and awards valued by reference to the book value of shares of Common Stock or the value of securities of, or the performance of specified Subsidiaries or affiliates or other business units of, the Corporation, (ii) cash, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing.

- 20 -


 

minimum acceptable level or levels of achievement and may set forth a formula for determining the portion or all of the award on which restrictions will terminate if performance is at or above the minimum level(s), but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives. The grant or sale of such award will specify that, before the termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to such award, the Compensation Committee must certify that the Management Objectives have been satisfied. Shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to an award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 10 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such time, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, other awards, notes or other property, as the Compensation Committee shall determine.
          (b) Each grant may specify the period or periods of continuous service, if any, by the Participant with the Corporation or any Subsidiary that are necessary before such awards or installments thereof shall become fully transferable, which shall be determined by the Compensation Committee or an Authorized Officer on the Date of Grant.
          (c) Each grant may provide for the earlier termination of the period or periods of continuous service or other modifications in the event of, termination without Cause, resignation for Good Reason, Normal Retirement, termination due to death or Disability of the Participant, a Change in Control or the grant of a Substitute Award.
          (d) The Compensation Committee may authorize grants or sales of shares of Common Stock as a bonus, or may grant other awards in lieu of obligations of the Corporation or a Subsidiary to pay cash or deliver other property under this Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee.
          (e) Each grant or sale pursuant to this Section 10 may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value Per Share on the Date of Grant; provided , however , that with respect to a payment of an award that is substantially similar to an Option Right, no such payment shall be less than Market Value Per Share on the Date of Grant.
     11.  Administration of the Plan .
          (a) This Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. The Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, may from time to time delegate all or any part of its authority under this Plan to any other committee of the Board or subcommittee thereof consisting exclusively of not less than two or more members of the Board, each of whom shall be a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated under the Exchange Act, an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and an “independent director” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, as constituted from time to time. To the extent of any such delegation, references in this Plan to the Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, will be deemed to be references to such committee or subcommittee. A majority of the committee (or subcommittee) will constitute a quorum, and the action of the members of the

- 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 render advice with respect to any responsibility the Board or the Compensation Committee, the committee or such person may have under this Plan.
          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Compensation Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more Executive Officers of the Corporation (each, an “Authorized Officer”), including the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, to do one or both of the following on the same basis as the Compensation Committee: (i) designate Participants to be recipients of Awards under this Plan, (ii) determine the size of any such Awards; provided , however , that (A) the Compensation Committee shall not delegate such responsibilities to any Executive Officer for Awards granted to a Participant who is an Executive Officer, a Director, or a more than 10% beneficial owner of any class of the Corporation’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and (B) the resolution providing for such authorization sets forth the total number of shares of Common Stock the Authorized Officer(s) may grant, and (iii) the Authorized Officer(s) shall report periodically to the Compensation Committee, as the case may be, regarding the nature and scope of the Awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated. In no event shall any such delegation of authority be permitted with respect to Awards to any Executive Officer or any person subject to Section 162(m) of the Code.
     12. Adjustments . The Board shall make or provide for such adjustments in the numbers of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units and, if applicable, in the number of shares of Common Stock covered by other awards granted pursuant to Section 10 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 of Participants or Optionees that otherwise would result from (a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation, (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, 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.  Change in Control.
          (a) Except as otherwise provided in an Evidence of Award or by the Compensation Committee at the Date of Grant, to the extent outstanding Awards granted under this Plan are not assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in the event of a Change in Control, all outstanding Awards that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, all restrictions with respect to 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 Management Objectives shall be converted by the resulting entity, as if target performance had been 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.
          (c) Except as otherwise provided in an Evidence of Award or by the Compensation Committee, to the extent outstanding Awards granted under this Plan are either assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in the event of a Change in Control, if a Participant’s service is terminated without Cause by the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or the resulting entity or a Participant 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.
          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the 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 Participant’s “separation from service” with the Corporation (determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code); provided , however , that if the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), the payment date shall be the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Participant’s separation from service with the Employer, (ii) the date payment otherwise would have been made in the absence of any provisions in this Plan to the contrary (provided such date is permissible under Section 409A of the Code), or (iii) the Participant’s death.
     14.  Detrimental Activity .
          (a) Any Evidence of Award may provide that if the Board or the Compensation Committee determines a Participant has engaged in any Detrimental Activity, either during service with the Corporation or a Subsidiary or within a specified period after termination of such service, then, promptly upon receiving notice of the Board’s finding, the Participant shall:
     (i) forfeit that Award to the extent then held by the Participant;
     (ii) in exchange for payment by the Corporation or the Subsidiary of any amount actually paid therefor by the Participant, return to the Corporation or the Subsidiary, all shares of Common Stock that the Participant has not disposed of that had been acquired pursuant to that Award;
     (iii) with respect to any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to that Award that were disposed of, pay to the Corporation or the Subsidiary, in cash, the difference between:
  (A)   any amount actually paid by the 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 Participant’s 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 Corporation’s 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 Corporation’s 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.

Exhibit 99.1
Dana Exits Chapter 11 Reorganization a Stronger Global Competitor
    Mike Burns Elects to Leave Company Following Successful Emergence
 
    John Devine Elected Executive Chairman and Acting CEO
 
    Common Stock of New Company Begins Trading on NYSE
TOLEDO, Ohio — February 1, 2008 — Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) is today emerging from Chapter 11 reorganization as a new company positioned to compete vigorously in the global automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway markets.
Dana’s U.S. operations entered Chapter 11 on March 3, 2006. During a comprehensive, 23-month reorganization, the company and its stakeholders achieved $440 million to $475 million in annual cost savings and revenue improvements. These annual savings were achieved primarily from improvements in its manufacturing footprint, reducing labor costs and benefit changes, working with labor and retiree groups to create VEBA trusts to assume ongoing obligations for retiree health and welfare costs, and further reductions in administrative expenses.
“Fundamental change has been our objective from the outset of this process,” said Mike Burns. “We have achieved this goal through the persistence and dedication of our employees around the world, the partnerships with our labor unions, and the ongoing confidence and support of our customers and suppliers.
Burns, who served as Dana’s Chairman and CEO since 2004 and will remain with the company for a transition period, added, “I am proud of our emergence today and what the people of Dana have accomplished during the restructuring process. Our actions were necessary for the future of the company. And we achieved our goal while maintaining a strong focus on taking care of our customers. This is the right time for a change, and I am convinced that the company and its new leadership are poised for success.”
New Board of Directors Elects John Devine Executive Chairman and Acting CEO
In conjunction with emergence, Dana’s new Board of Directors has elected John Devine executive chairman and acting CEO. Devine is the former vice chairman and chief financial officer of General Motors Corporation, where he served from 2001 to mid-2006. Prior to joining GM, Devine served as chairman and chief executive officer of Fluid Ventures, LLC. Previously, he spent 32 years at Ford Motor Company, where he last served as executive vice president and chief financial officer. Devine is also a board member of Amerigon Incorporated.
“I’m pleased to join the Dana team, particularly on this important day for our company and all of its stakeholders,” said Devine. “The reorganization achieved by Dana and its people has positioned us to emerge as a more competitive company. We will be focused on the goal of returning Dana to a leadership position in our industry.”
