(k) it hereby authorizes the Agent to, at any time and from time to time, file in any one or more jurisdictions, financing statements that describe the Collateral, together with continuation statements thereof and amendments thereto, without the signature of such Debtor and which contain any information required by the Code or any other applicable statute applicable to such jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statements, continuation statements, or amendments.

6. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Agent takes such action for that purpose as the Debtor shall request in writing; provided that such requested action will not, in the judgment of the Agent, impair the security interest in the Collateral created hereby or the Agent's and the Lenders' rights in, or the value of, the Collateral; provided, further, that such written request is received by the Agent in sufficient time to permit the Agent to take the requested action.

(g) Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the liability of a guarantor or a surety, including each Debtor, excepting only full, strict, payment in full of the Secured Obligations.
8. Each Debtor hereby waives any and all defenses which such Debtor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like, and each Debtor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding section hereof.

(b) Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Debtor or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding, or to
7

(c) Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, "one action" laws or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Agent (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of the Collateral for any of the Secured Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Agent to seek a deficiency against such Debtor or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Secured Obligations.
9. (a) At any time and from time to time whether or not an Event of Default then exists and without prior notice to or consent of any Debtor, the Agent may, at its option and for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, take such actions as the Agent deems appropriate (i) to attach, perfect, continue, preserve and protect the Agent's and the Lenders' security interest in, or Lien on, the Collateral, (ii) to inspect, audit and verify the Collateral, including reviewing all of each Debtor's books and records and copying and making excerpts therefrom and (iii) to add all liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) to the Secured Obligations, to be paid by the Debtors to the Agent for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) days after demand; provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Debtor shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than one such inspection in any calendar year; provided further however, Debtor shall be obligated to reimburse Agent for all inspections performed after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default.
(b) At any time and from time to time while an Event of Default exists and is continuing and without prior notice to or consent of any Debtor, the Agent may, at its option and for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, take such action as the Agent deems appropriate (i) to maintain, repair, protect and insure the Collateral, (ii) to perform, keep, observe and render true and correct any and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Debtors hereunder, and (iii) to add all liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) to the Secured Obligations, to be paid by the Debtors to the Agent for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) days after demand.
10. While there exists any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement:
(a) The Agent shall have, and may exercise, all the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Code in effect at the time, and such other rights and remedies as may be provided at Law and as set forth below, including, without limitation, the ability to (i) take possession immediately, with or without notice, demand, or legal process, of any all of the Collateral wherever found, and for such purposes, enter upon any premises upon which the Collateral may be found and remove the Collateral therefrom, (ii) require any Debtor to assemble the Collateral and deliver it to the Agent or to any place designated by the Agent at the Debtors' expense, (iii) take over and collect all of any Debtor's Receivables and all other Collateral, and to this end each Debtor hereby appoints the Agent, its officers, employees
8
and agents, as its irrevocable, true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with all necessary power and authority to (1) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Debtor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Agent may designate, (2) demand payment of the Receivables, (3) enforce payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise, (4) exercise all of any Debtor's rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables, (5) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (6) settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect the Receivables, (7) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, sell or assign the Receivables upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Agent deems advisable, (8) discharge and release the Receivables, (9) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or Proceeds from any account debtor, (10) prepare, file and sign any Debtor's name on any proof of claim in relief proceeding or similar document against any account debtor, (11) prepare, file and sign any Debtor's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables, (12) do all acts and things necessary, in the Agent's sole discretion, to fulfill each Debtor's obligations to the Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, Loan Documents or otherwise, (13) endorse the name of any Debtor upon any check, Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to the Receivables or Inventory, (14) use any Debtor's stationery and sign such Debtor's name to verifications of the Receivables and notices thereof to account debtors, (15) access and use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment or computer hardware or software relating to the Receivables, Inventory, or other Collateral or proceeds thereof to which any Debtor has access, (iv) demand, sue for, collect, compromise and give acquittances for any and all Collateral, (v) prosecute, defend or compromise any action, claim or proceeding with respect to any of the Collateral, and (vi) take such other action as the Agent may deem appropriate, including extending or modifying the terms of payment of any Debtor's debtors. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by Law, each Debtor hereby waives all claims of damages due to or arising from or connected with any of the rights or remedies exercised by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, except claims for physical damage to the Collateral, Persons or other property arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Agent.
(b) The Agent shall have the right to lease, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale or sales for cash, credit or any combination thereof, with such notice as may be required by Law (it being agreed by the Debtors that, in the absence of any contrary requirement of Law, ten (10) days' prior notice of a public or private sale of Collateral shall be deemed reasonable notice), in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as the Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Such sales may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Debtor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Debtor's premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the Agent may see fit. The Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by Law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations.
(c) Each Debtor, at its cost and expense (including the cost and expense of any of the following referenced consents, approvals, etc.), will promptly execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers the Agent may request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, accreditation, or authorization of any other official body or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees that in the event the Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders shall exercise its rights hereunder or pursuant to the other
9
Loan Documents, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or vote, consent, operate, or take any other action in connection with any of the Collateral, each Debtor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) all applications, certificates, assignments and other documents that the Agent requests, to facilitate such actions and shall otherwise promptly, fully, and diligently cooperate with the Agent and any other Persons in making any application for the prior consent or approval of any official body or any other Person to the exercise by the Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders of any such rights relating to all or any of the Collateral. Furthermore, because each Debtor agrees that the remedies at law, of the Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders, for failure of such Debtor to comply with this subsection (c) would be inadequate, and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, each Debtor agrees that this Subsection (c) may be specifically enforced.
(d) The Agent may request, without limiting the rights and remedies of the Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders otherwise provided hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, that each Debtor do any of the following: (i) give the Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders specific assignments of the accounts receivable of the Debtors after such accounts receivable come into existence, and schedules of such accounts receivable, the form and content of such assignment and schedules to be reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (ii) in order to better secure the Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders, to the extent permitted by Law, enter into such lockbox agreements and establish such lockbox accounts as the Agent may require, all at the sole expense of the Debtors and shall direct all payments from all payors due to each Debtor, to such lockbox accounts.
(e) Nothing in this Agreement waives any duty of the Agent or any right of Debtor which cannot be waived under Section 9-602 of the Code or other mandatory provisions of applicable Law which cannot be waived.
11. The Lien on and security interest in the Collateral granted to and created in favor of the Agent by this Agreement shall be for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. Each of the rights, privileges, and remedies provided to the Agent hereunder or otherwise by Law with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised by the Agent only for its own benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, and any of the Collateral or Proceeds thereof held or realized upon at any time by the Agent shall be applied as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Each Debtor shall remain liable to the Agent and the Lenders for, and shall pay to the Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, any deficiency which may remain after such sale or collection.
12. If the Agent repossesses or seeks to repossess any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then to the extent it is commercially reasonable for the Agent to store any Collateral on any premises of any Debtor, such Debtor hereby agrees to lease to the Agent on a month-to-month tenancy for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days at the Agent's election, at a rental rate equal to One Dollar ($1.00) per month (if such Debtor owns the premises), and at the current rental rate per month (if such Debtor leases the premises), the premises on which the Collateral is located; provided it is located on premises owned or leased by such Debtor.
13. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations and termination of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, and the Agent shall thereupon promptly return to such Debtor such of the Collateral and such other documents delivered by the Debtor or obtained by the Agent hereunder as may then be in the Agent's possession, subject to the rights of third parties. Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Following a sale of assets permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall also promptly return to such Debtor such of the Collateral and such other
10
documents delivered by the Debtor or obtained by the Agent hereunder as may then be in the Agent's possession, subject to the rights of third parties.
14. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Agent hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing. The rights and remedies of the Agent under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any rights or remedies which it may otherwise have, and the Agent may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option.
15. All notices, statements, requests and demands given to or made upon either party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as provided in the Credit Agreement.
16. Each Debtor agrees that as of the date hereof, all information contained on the Security Interest Data Summary attached hereto as Schedule A is accurate and complete and contains no omission or misrepresentation. Each Debtor shall promptly notify the Agent of any changes in the information set forth thereon.
17. Each Debtor acknowledges that the provisions hereof giving the Agent rights of access to books, records and information concerning the Collateral and such Debtor's operations and providing the Agent access to such Debtor's premises are intended to afford the Agent with immediate access to current information concerning the Debtor and its activities, including without limitation, the value, nature and location of the Collateral so that the Agent can, among other things, make an appropriate determination after the occurrence of an Event of Default, whether and when to exercise its other remedies hereunder and at Law, including, without limitation, instituting a replevin action should the Debtor refuse to turn over any Collateral to the Agent. Each Debtor further acknowledges that should such Debtor at any time fail to promptly provide such information and access to the Agent, such Debtor acknowledges that the Agent would have no adequate remedy at Law to promptly obtain the same. Each Debtor agrees that the provisions hereof may be specifically enforced by the Agent and waives any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding that the Agent has an adequate remedy at Law.
18. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and the Debtor and each of its respective successors and assigns, except that the Debtors may not assign or transfer its obligations hereunder or any interest herein.
19. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of Michigan and for all purposes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of said State excluding its rules relating to conflicts of law.
20. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
21. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Michigan state or federal court sitting in Oakland County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Michigan state or federal court. Each Debtor hereby waives to the
11
fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Debtor hereby appoints the process agent identified below (the "Process Agent") as its agent to receive on behalf of such party and its respective property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Debtor in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address, and each Debtor hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf. Each Debtor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided at law. Each Debtor further agrees that it shall, for so long as any commitment or any obligation of any Credit Party to any Lender remains outstanding, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section 22. The Process Agent for each Debtor shall be Unique Fabricating NA, Inc., with an office on the date hereof as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process Agent by the Debtors and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Debtors.
22. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO.
23. 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 an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy transmission to the Agent or any Lender of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of the Debtor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Debtor.
