Advances outstanding at such time plus (y) the aggregate
Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time
shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Availability Amount at any
time.
(b)
Borrowings . Each Borrowing shall be in a principal amount
of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof (other than a Borrowing the proceeds of which shall be used
solely to repay or prepay in full outstanding Swing Line Advances
or Letter of Credit Advances) and shall consist of Advances made
simultaneously by the Lenders under the applicable Facility ratably
according to the Lenders’ Commitments under such Facility.
Within the limits of each Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit
Commitment in effect from time to time, the Borrower may borrow
under Section 2.01(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.06,
and reborrow under Section 2.01(a).
(c)
The Swing Line Advances . The Swing Line Lender severally
agrees on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make
Swing Line Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any
Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the
Termination Date in an aggregate amount owing to the Swing Line
Lender not to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of
(i) the Swing Line Facility at such time and (ii) the
Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Commitment at such time;
provided , however , that no Swing Line Borrowing
shall exceed the aggregate of the Unused Revolving Credit
Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time. No Swing
Line Advance shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment
of principal of any other Swing Line Advance. Each Swing Line
Borrowing shall be in an amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple
of $100,000 in excess thereof. Within the limits of the Swing Line
Facility and within the limits referred to in the first sentence of
this subSection (d), the Borrower may borrow under this
Section 2.01(c), repay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or
prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this
Section 2.01(c). Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line
Advance, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Advance
in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share times the principal amount of such Swing Line Advance.
Section 2.02
Making the Advances . (a) Except as otherwise provided
in Section 2.02(b) or 2.03, 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) the Facility under which such Borrowing is to
be made, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing,
(iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (v) in the case of
a Borrowing
Dana—Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
44
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;
provided , however , that, in the case of Revolving
Credit Advances, the Administrative Agent shall first apply such
funds to prepay ratably the aggregate principal amount of any Swing
Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances outstanding on the date
of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and
as of such date.
(b)
(i) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given
not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of
the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice of a
Swing Line Borrowing (a “ Notice of Swing Line
Borrowing ”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately
in writing, or telecopier, specifying therein the requested
(i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing
and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be
no later than the seventh day after the requested date of such
Borrowing). The Swing Line Lender will make the amount of the
requested Swing Line Advances available to the Administrative Agent
at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds.
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.
(ii) The Swing Line Lender may, at
any time in its sole and absolute discretion, request on behalf of
the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf) that each Revolving
Credit Lender make a Base Rate Advance in an amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Advances
then outstanding. Such request shall be deemed to be a Notice of
Borrowing for purposes hereof and shall be made in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.02(a) without regard solely to the
minimum amounts specified therein but subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (except that the
Borrower shall not be deemed to have made any representations and
warranties). The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with
a copy of the Notice of Borrowing promptly after delivering such
notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender
shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount
specified in such Notice of Borrowing available for the account of
its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Swing Line Lender, by deposit to the Administrative
Agent’s Account, in same date funds, not later than 3:00 P.M.
on the day specified in such Notice of Borrowing.
(iii) If for any reason any Swing
Line Advance cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing
as contemplated by Section 2.02(b)(ii), the request for Base
Rate Advances submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth in
Section 2.02(b)(ii) shall be deemed to be a request by such
Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving
Dana—Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
45
Credit Lenders
fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Advance and
each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section
2.02(b)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.
(iv) If and to the extent that any
Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made the amount of its Pro
Rata Share of such Swing Line Advance available to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.02(b)(ii), such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of the
applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by such Swing Line Lender
until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at
the Federal Funds Rate.
(v) Each Revolving Credit
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances or to
purchase and fund risk participations in a Swing Line Advance
pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line
Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,
(B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or
(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided , however ,
that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make
Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) is
subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 3.02. No funding of risk participations shall relieve
or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing
Line Advances, together with interest as provided herein.
(c) Anything
in subSection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding,
(i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for
the initial Borrowing hereunder or for any Borrowing if the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if
the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10 and
(ii) the Revolving Credit Advances may not be outstanding as
part of more than 15 separate Borrowings.
(d) Each
Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall
be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any
Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be
comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify
each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such
Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date
specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including,
without limitation, any actual loss (excluding loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to
fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such
Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not
made on such date.
(e) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender
prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable
portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Dana—Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
46
Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the
Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance
with subSection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If
and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such
ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender
and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount
is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case
of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under
Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If
such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such
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.

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

Revolving Credit Commitment or (z) the sum of (1) the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances
plus Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances
outstanding at such time plus (2) the aggregate
Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time
exceed the Borrowing Base at such time. Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully
revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing
period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that
have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All
Existing Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries shall be
Dana—Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
47
deemed to have
been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date
shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions
hereof.
(ii) No Issuing Bank shall be under
any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any
order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such
Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law
applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental
authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit,
or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of
letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular
or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost
or expense which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to
it; (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit
would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all
the Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry date;
(C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or
more policies of such Issuing Bank; or (D) such Letter of
Credit is in an initial amount less than $100,000 (unless such
Issuing Bank agrees otherwise), or is to be denominated in a
currency other than U.S. dollars.
(iii) No Issuing Bank shall be under
any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such
Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or
(B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept
the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and
Amendment of Letters of Credit .
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be
issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the
Borrower delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower or such Subsidiary for whose account such
Letter of Credit is to be issued. Such Letter of Credit Application
must be received by the applicable Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two
Business Days (or such later date and time as such Issuing Bank may
agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the
proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In
the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of
Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and

(F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other
matters as such Issuing Bank may reasonably require. In the case of
a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (A) the
Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of
amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the
nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters

Dana—Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
48
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any
Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing)
that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of
Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank
will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon
receipt by such Issuing Bank of confirmation from the
Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is
permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the
Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable
amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such
Issuing 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 .
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary
of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such
Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than
11:00 a.m. on the Business Day following any payment by the
applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, so long as the
Borrower has received notice of such drawing by 10:00 a.m. on
such following Business Day (each such date, an “ Honor
Date ”), the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank
through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount
of such drawing (together with interest thereon at the rate set
forth in Section 2.07 for Revolving Credit Advances bearing
interest at the Base Rate). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse
the applicable Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor
Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “
Unreimbursed Amount ”), and the amount of such
Revolving Credit 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.
(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender
(including a Revolving Credit Lender acting as Issuing Bank) shall
upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make
funds
Dana—Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
49
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.
(v) Each Revolving Credit
Lender’s obligation to make Letter of Credit Advances to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under
Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c),
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit
Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event
or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No
such making of a Letter of Credit Advance shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such
Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as
provided herein.
(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender
fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by
such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.03(c)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to
recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon
for the period from the date such payment is required to the date
on which such payment is immediately available to the such Issuing
Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time
to time in effect. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank
submitted to any Revolving Credit
Dana—Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
50
Lender (through
the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under
this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(d) Repayment of
Participations .
(i) At any time after any Issuing
Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received
from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Letter of Credit Advance in respect of such payment
in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent
receives for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any payment
in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon
(whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including
proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative
Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving
Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted,
in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time
during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s Letter of Credit
Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned
under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each
Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on
demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the
date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such
Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
(e)
Obligations Absolute . The obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse any Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of
Credit and to repay each Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any
other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) the existence of any claim,
counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may
have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or
any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate
or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or
any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of
Credit;
Dana—Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement
51
(iv) any payment by the Issuing Bank
under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Bank under
such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or
successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of
Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v) any other circumstance or
happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the
Borrower.
The
Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and
each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of
any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions
