(b) one additional advance (each, a “ Term
Advance ”) to the Borrower from time to time on any
Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through
February 1, 2008 in an amount for such Advance not to exceed
such Lender’s unused Commitment at such time. Each Borrowing
shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of
Advances made simultaneously by the Lenders under the Term Facility
ratably according to the Lenders’ Commitments under such Term
Facility.
Section 2.02
Making the Advances . (a) Each Borrowing shall be made
on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed
Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, or the first Business Day prior to the date of the
proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base
Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which
shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or
telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “ Notice of
Borrowing ”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately
in writing, or telex or telecopier, in substantially the form of
Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested
(i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances
comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such
Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of
Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such
Advance. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such
Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with
the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders.
After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and
upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds
available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account
or such other account as the Borrower shall request.
(b) [
Reserved] .
(c) Anything
in subSection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding,
(i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for
the initial Borrowing hereunder or for
Dana—Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement
33
any
Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than
$5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar
Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09
or 2.10 and (ii) the Term Advances may not be outstanding as
part of more than 10 separate Borrowings.
(d) Each
Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of
Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances,
the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or
expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to
fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing
for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in
Article III, including, without limitation, any actual loss
(excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred
by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by
such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a
result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(e) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender
prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such 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. If such Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such
Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.
(f) The
failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder
to make its Advance or make available on the date of such
Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by it.
Section 2.03
[Reserved] .
Section 2.04
Repayment of the Term Advances . The Borrower shall repay
the Term Advances to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
account of the Lenders on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter,

original aggregate principal amount of the Term Advances (to be
adjusted to reflect any payments made pursuant to

installments of the aggregate Term Advances outstanding on the last
day of the last Fiscal Quarter ending on or prior to the sixth

however that the final principal repayment installment of the Term
Advances shall be paid on the Termination Date and in any event
shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
the Term Advances outstanding on such date.
Section 2.05
Termination of Commitments . The Term Commitments shall be
automatically and permanently reduced and terminated on
February 1, 2008, by the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate Term Commitments exceed the Term Advances outstanding on
such date (after giving effect to any Borrowing on such date). Upon
the making of the Term Advances pursuant to Section 2.01, the
Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by
the aggregate amount of such Term Advances.

prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Advances, in
whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the
date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid;
provided , however , that (i) each partial
prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if
less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any Advance and
(ii) that no prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted
pursuant to this Section 2.06 other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is
accompanied by the payment of the amounts required by
Section 10.04(c) if the applicable Lender has provided the
Borrower with adequate notice of the amount of the same. Each
prepayment of the Advances pursuant to this Section 2.06(a)
shall be applied to the scheduled amortization payments under the
Term Facility as directed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the
forgoing, any prepayment of Advances pursuant to this
Section 2.06(a) that is made on or prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date shall be accompanied by a premium
such that the aggregate amount of such prepayment shall equal the
applicable Call Premium.

provided that the aggregate amount reinvested does not
exceed the Reinvestment Limitation Amount for any Fiscal Year in
respect of Asset Sales or Recovery Events, as the case may be; and
provided , further , that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to
the Reinvestment
Dana—Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement
35
Prepayment
Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be
applied toward the prepayment of the Term Advances.
(ii) If at any time any Loan Party or
any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the
issuance or incurrence of any Debt (other than any Debt permitted
under Section 5.02(b), the Borrower shall, within one Business
Day after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, prepay the Term Advances in
an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.
(iii) If at any time any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the

2008, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, within
90 days following the end of such Fiscal Year, prepay the Term
Advances in an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of such Excess
Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year (minus the aggregate amount of all
principal payments of Debt of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
including payments made pursuant to (x) in the case of Term
Advances, Section 2.06(a) under this Agreement and (y) in the
case of Revolving Advances, Section 2.06(a) of the Revolving
Facility Credit Agreement to the extent accompanied by a permanent
reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to

Agreement).
(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
Dana—Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement

any exchange
control clearance or other consents, permits, authorizations or
licenses which are required to enable such Net Cash Proceeds or
Excess Cash Flow to be repatriated or advanced to, and applied by,

subSection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to
the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, and,
if any such prepayment is made on a day other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such prepayment shall be
accompanied by the payment of the amounts required by
Section 10.04(c) if the applicable Lender has provided the
Borrower with adequate notice of the amount of the same. Each
prepayment of the outstanding Term Advances made under this
Section 2.06(b) shall be applied pro rata to the remaining
principal repayment installments thereof. Notwithstanding the
forgoing, any prepayment of Advances pursuant to this Section
2.06(b), other than pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(iv), that is
made on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date
shall be accompanied by a premium such that the aggregate amount of
such prepayment shall equal the applicable Call Premium.
(vii) Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any payment
that is required pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) is made, in
no event shall the Borrower be required to use cash of a Foreign
Subsidiary to make such payment.
Section 2.07

may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and
subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, Convert all or any
portion of the Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing

that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate
Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate
Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not
less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no
Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings
than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of

ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments.
Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions
specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion,
(ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such
Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the

end of the applicable Interest Period, automatically Convert into
Base Rate Advances.
(ii) If the Borrower shall fail to
select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate

definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01,
the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and
the Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will

therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each Eurodollar
Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then

Dana—Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement
38
Lenders to
make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall
be suspended.
Section 2.10
Increased Costs, Etc . (a) If, due to either
(i) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance
with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law),
there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing
to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate
Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such
increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to
which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (y) changes in the
basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by
the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the
laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable
Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the
Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with
a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased
cost; provided , however , that a Lender claiming
additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal
and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate
as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower
by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.
(b) If
any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or
any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law)
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected
to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based
upon the existence of such 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.
Dana—Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement
39
(d) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or
any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation
shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental
authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to
make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and
demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will
automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance
and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert
Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender
has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist; provided , however , that, before
making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable
efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar
Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such
Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its
obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund
or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment
of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
Section 2.11
Payments and Computations .
(a) The
Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes,
irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York, New York time) on the day when due (or,
in the case of payments made by a Guarantor pursuant to
Section 8.01, on the date of demand therefor) in U.S. dollars
to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative 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.
Dana—Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement
40
(c) The
Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent
payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in
the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge
from time to time against any or all of the 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
