Agreement (the “Indemnifier”) prompt notice thereof, but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim. Such notice to the Indemnifier shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate, if reasonably practicable, the estimated amount of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.
Section 9.5 Conduct of Pre-Closing Claims Presented Pre-Closing.
     Except to the extent that Dana elects otherwise, Desc and/or Desc Automotriz shall continue to manage the defense of all Claims against the Dana Targets that were asserted prior to Closing and that are currently being managed by Desc and/or Desc Automotriz. Dana Mexico shall cause the relevant Dana Target to continue to cooperate with Desc and/or Desc Automotriz in any reasonable way in the defense of such Claims. Any settlement or compromise of any such claim shall require the consent of the relevant Dana Target, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any legal fees and other expenses paid by Desc and/or Desc Automotriz for work performed after the Closing with respect to such Claims shall be reimbursed 48.803% by Dana Mexico. Desc and/or Desc Automotriz shall invoice Dana Mexico periodically for all such fees and expenses incurred, and Dana Mexico shall remit payment in cash for each such invoice within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt.
Section 9.6 Defense of Pre-Closing Third Party Claims Presented Post-Closing.
     The Indemnifier may participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifier’s right to participate shall be subject to the rights of any insurer or other Person who has potential liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifier shall be responsible for all of its own expenses of participating in such defense. If the Indemnifier elects to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim, Dana Mexico and Spicer shall each be responsible for the payment of its respective share (48.803% or 51.197%, as applicable, other than in respect of AMSA, with respect to which Spicer shall be responsible for 67.131% of any and all Losses arising from such Claim, and Dana Mexico shall be responsible for 32.869% of any and all such Losses) of any Losses or other amount required to be paid in respect thereof pending resolution of any contest of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in the defense of each Third Party Claim, even if the Indemnifier is participating in the defense. The Indemnifier shall not enter into any compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnified Party has not received notice of the Indemnifier’s election to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, elect to settle or compromise the Third Party Claim.
Section 9.7 Assistance for Third Party Claims.
     The Indemnifier and the Indemnified Party shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Party to grant any powers of attorney that may be necessary to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim and make available to the Party which is undertaking and controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim (the “Defending Party”):

62



 

     (i) those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Defending Party in evaluating and in defending any Third Party Claim; and
     (ii) all documents, records and other materials in the possession of such Party reasonably required by the Defending Party for its use in defending any Third Party Claim;
and shall otherwise cooperate with the Defending Party. The Defending Party shall be entitled to assert against the Third Party making the Third Party Claim any rights, claims or defenses which the Indemnified Party may have against such Third Party relating to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifier shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with making documents, records and materials available and for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any employees made available by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifier hereunder.
Section 9.8 Settlement of Third Party Claims.
     If an Indemnifier elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in Section 9.6, the Indemnifier shall not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim unless the representation of the Indemnifier and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifier fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within a reasonable time after receiving notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party has reasonable grounds to believe that the Indemnifier has failed to take such steps, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, elect to assume the defense of and to compromise or settle the Third Party Claim assisted by counsel of its choice and the Indemnifier shall be liable for all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifier shall not enter into any compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim which would lead to liability or create any financial or other material obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party.
Section 9.9 Direct Claims.
     Any Claim by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifier based on any indemnification provided for in this Article IX that does not arise from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifier reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than forty-five (45) Business Days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The Indemnifier shall then have a period of thirty (30) Business Days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifier does not so respond within such thirty (30) Business Day period, the Indemnifier shall be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim, and in such event the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party.
Section 9.10 Failure to Give Timely Notice.
     A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Article IX shall not affect the rights or obligations of any Party except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Party

63



 

which was entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage, was unable to defend the Claim or was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, no Claim for indemnification may be made under this Agreement beyond the expiration period for such Claim set forth in Section 6.2.
Section 9.11 Reductions and Subrogation.
     If the amount of any Loss is at any time after the making of an indemnity payment reduced by any recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any Claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, the amount of such reduction (less any costs, out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) or premiums incurred in connection therewith) shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifier. Upon making a full indemnity payment, the Indemnifier shall, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any Third Party that is not an Affiliate of the Indemnified Party in respect of the Loss to which the indemnity payment relates. Until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of its Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifier against any such Third Party on account of such indemnity payment shall be subject to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such Third Party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, the Indemnified Party and Indemnifier shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect such arrangement.
Section 9.12 Tax Effect.
     Any indemnity payment under this Article IX shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Dana Target Share Purchase Price or the Final Dana JV Share Purchase Price, as applicable. If, notwithstanding such treatment, any indemnity payment received by an Indemnified Party would constitute taxable income to such Indemnified Party, the Indemnifier shall pay a tax gross up to the Indemnified Party at the time any such tax payment is made, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.15; provided, however, that the Indemnifier shall have the right (i) to review any Tax filing wherein such Tax liability may arise prior to the filing thereof and (ii) to protest such determination, at its own expense, with the relevant taxation authority.
Section 9.13 Mitigation of Damages.
     With respect to any and all Losses that may be claimed for indemnification by any Indemnified Party against any Indemnifier pursuant to this Agreement, any such Indemnified Party will use all reasonable best efforts to mitigate and minimize the amount of the indemnifiable Losses with respect thereto, and in all respects (including without limitation in all related actions, omissions and negotiations) will do so taking into account only the best interests of such Indemnified Party, without regard to the interests of any other individual or entity, with the understanding, however, that any costs or expenses incurred by any such Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be Losses subject to indemnification by Indemnifier.

64



 

Section 9.14 Payment and Interest.
     All Losses shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate from (and including) the date that the Indemnified Party suffered or incurred a Loss, liability or out-of-pocket expense in respect of a Loss, to (but excluding) the date of payment by the Indemnifier to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifier shall pay the amount of any Loss set forth in any Claim with all accrued interest thereon within twenty (20) Business Days from the date on which such amount has become due.
Section 9.15 Limitation.
     Notwithstanding any other term, condition or provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary (including any other term, condition or provision of this Section 9.15):
     (a) Threshold. No Claims for indemnification may be made by any Indemnified Party under this Article IX unless and until (i) the aggregate of all Losses suffered or incurred by such Party exceeds US$100,000.00 (One hundred thousand US dollars) (the “Basket”) in the aggregate, and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Basket; and (ii) each Loss suffered or incurred by such Party to reach the Basket exceeds US$10,000.00 (Ten thousand US dollars); provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to any Claim for indemnification for Taxes (which claims shall neither be subject to the limitations provided above nor be taken into account when calculating whether the Loss suffered by the Indemnified Party exceeds the aggregate threshold provided for in subsection (i) above);
     (b) Written Notice. Any Claims for indemnification under this Article IX may be made by the Parties against each other subject to written notice of such Claim being given in accordance with the terms provided in Section 9.4.
     (c) Cap.
     (i) The right of Dana or Dana Mexico to seek or obtain indemnification hereunder for any Loss arising from the breach of any representation or warranty of any Desc Party, and the obligation of the Desc Parties to provide any such indemnification, shall be subject to a maximum liability of the Desc Parties for all Losses to be paid to Dana or Dana Mexico of an amount equal to 100% of the Final Dana Target Share Purchase Price.
     (ii) The right of any Desc Party to seek or obtain indemnification hereunder for any Loss arising from the breach of any representation or warranty of Dana or Dana Mexico, and the obligation of Dana and Dana Mexico to provide any such indemnification, shall be subject to a maximum liability of Dana and Dana Mexico for all Losses to be paid to the Desc Parties of an amount equal to 100% of the Final Dana JV Share Purchase Price.

65



 

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1 Termination Events.

     (ii) by Desc Automotriz or Dana if the Closing Date does not occur on or prior to August 31, 2006 or there shall have been, since the date hereof, any change, condition, circumstance or occurrence of any event that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Transactions.

Section 10.5 Assignment.
     No Party may assign any rights or benefits under this Agreement to any Person without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever, and no assignment of benefits or arrangement for substituted performance by one Party shall be of any effect against the other Party except to the extent that the other Party has consented to it in writing. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors (including any successor by reason of merger, amalgamation or statutory arrangement of any Party) and permitted assigns.
Section 10.6 Further Assurances.
     The Parties shall, with reasonable diligence, do all such things and provide all such reasonable assurances as may be required to consummate the Transactions, and each Party shall provide such further documents or instruments required by any other Party as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the purpose of this Agreement and carry out its provisions, whether before or after the Closing.
Section 10.7 Limitations on Remedies.
     (a) Limitations. The rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to and not in substitution for any rights or remedies provided by Law; provided, however, that: (i) the Parties shall be bound by the arbitration provision of Section 10.9; (ii) the provisions of Article III shall be the sole remedy with respect to any matter relating to the purchase price adjustment (but only to the extent any Loss is actually recovered); and (iii) the indemnification provided for in Article IX shall be the sole remedy with respect to any Loss compensated thereby (but only to the extent any Loss is actually recovered).

68



 

     (b) Non-Duplicative Remedies. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any recovery in respect of express remedies set forth in this Agreement, including the purchase price adjustment set forth in Article III and the indemnity provisions set out in Article IX, shall be exclusive and non-duplicative.
     (c) Independent Rights. The Parties agree that each Party’s rights under Article IX are independent of and enforceable against the other Party irrespective of such other Party’s rights under Article IX.
     (d) Special Damages. The Parties agree that in no event shall a Party be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.
Section 10.8 Counterparts.
     This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in any number counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 10.9 Dispute Resolution.
     (a) Submission to Bankruptcy Court. In the event of any dispute between the Parties regarding the interpretation of the Bankruptcy Approval Order or Dana’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, other than as provided in Section 3.2(e) and Section 7.16(f), (each a “Bankruptcy Dispute”), the Bankruptcy Dispute shall be heard in the Bankruptcy Court until the earlier of (i) the confirmation of a plan of reorganization for Dana or (ii) the termination of the Chapter 11 Case; provided, however, that this Section 10.9(a) shall not apply to any disputes regarding the rights or obligations of Dana or any other entity under the Ancillary Agreements or under any Contract listed in Schedule 7.22(a) or Schedule 7.22(b).
     (b) Submission to Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 3.2(e), Section 7.16(f) and Section 10.9(a), in the event of any dispute between the Parties relating to the Transactions or any Transaction Document (other than the Water Rights Assignment Agreements) or arising hereunder (each a “Dispute”), then the Dispute shall be submitted, upon written demand of any Party, to arbitration in Mexico City in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Rules”).
     (c) Arbitrators. There shall be a total of three (3) arbitrators. The Desc Parties, on the one side, and the Dana Parties, on the other side, each shall select one (1) arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators shall be freely selected, and the Parties shall not be limited in their selection to any prescribed list. A third (3rd) arbitrator, who shall be the chairman of the arbitral tribunal, shall be appointed by mutual agreement of the two (2) arbitrators so selected. In the event of the failure of said arbitrators to agree as to the chairman within twenty (20) calendar days after the appointment of the last of said arbitrators, the chairman shall be appointed by the International Court of Arbitration (the “Court”) within fifteen (15) calendar days thereafter. In the event that both sides of the arbitration are composed of only one party, and the Desc Parties, on the one hand, or the Dana Parties, on the other, as the case may be, fails to nominate an arbitrator pursuant to this Section 10.9(c), upon request of any other party to the arbitration, such arbitrator shall instead be

69



 

appointed by the ICC within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving such request. In the event that either side of the arbitration is composed of more than one party, and the Desc Parties that are party to the arbitration, on the one hand, or the Dana Parties, on the other, as the case may be, fails to nominate an arbitrator pursuant to this Section 10.9(c), then the Court may appoint each member of the arbitral panel in accordance with Article 10(2) of the ICC Rules. Each arbitrator shall be fluent in English and Spanish.
     (d) Arbitration Proceedings. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Spanish, provided that the arbitrators may permit any portion of the proceeding to be conducted in English if this will facilitate the conduct of the arbitration. The arbitrators shall apply the ICC Rules, and shall specify the same at the commencement of the arbitration. Documents in English shall be admissible as evidence without need to translation into Spanish and witnesses who are not native Spanish speakers may render their testimonies in English if they so prefer.
     (e) Consolidation of Arbitration Proceedings. When a party to a Transaction Document submits a Request for Arbitration (as defined in the ICC Rules) in connection with a legal relationship in respect of which arbitration proceedings between the parties to the same or another Transaction Document are already pending under the ICC Rules (an “Already Pending Proceeding”), the parties to such Transaction Document may request that the Court include the claims contained in the request (the “New Claims”) in the Already Pending Proceeding. If a party to a Transaction Document makes such a request before the Terms of Reference (as defined in the ICC Rules) have been signed or approved by the Court in the Already Pending Proceeding, pursuant to Article 4(6) of the ICC Rules, the Court shall determine whether to include the New Claims in the Already Pending Proceeding. If a party to a Transaction Document makes such a request after the Terms of Reference in the Already Pending Proceeding have been signed or approved by the Court, pursuant to Article 19 of the ICC Rules, the Arbitral Tribunal (as defined in the ICC Rules) in the Already Pending Proceeding shall determine whether to include the New Claims in the Already Pending Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, two (2) or more arbitration proceedings may be consolidated in accordance with this Section 10.9(e) under Articles 4(6) or 19 of the ICC Rules, even if the parties to such arbitration proceedings are not identical.
     (f) Award. The arbitral award shall be final and binding upon all Parties, and not subject to any appeal, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and shall deal with the question of costs of arbitration and all matters related thereto. The arbitrators may in their discretion award costs, including legal fees, to the prevailing Party. Decisions of the arbitrators shall be in writing and shall set forth the reasons therefore and, to the extent applicable, the manner in which the amount of the award was calculated.
     (g) Enforceability of Certain Provisions of this Agreement. Each Party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for purposes of any Bankruptcy Dispute. Each Party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Mexico for purposes of a suit, action or proceeding to enforce the provisions Section 10.9(b) through Section 10.9(h), to obtain an order to preserve the status quo pending resolution of any Dispute described in Section 10.9(b) or to enforce an arbitration award rendered hereunder. Each Party irrevocably waives any objection or defense such Party may have to venue or personal jurisdiction in any such court including any claim that the suit, action or

70



 

proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and any right to which it may become entitled on account of place of residence or domicile.
     (h) Enforceability of the Award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial recognition of the award or any order of enforcement thereof.
Section 10.10 No Third Party Beneficiary.
     Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement (and any Indemnified Party under Article IX) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns.
Section 10.11 Partial Invalidity.
     Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but in the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision(s) to the extent valid, legal or enforceable or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.
Section 10.12 Desc Parties Guarantor.
     Desc Automotriz also executes this Agreement as guarantor (fiador) of each and every undertaking of the Desc Parties contained or referred to in this Agreement and all Schedules attached hereto and expressly waives the benefit of priority (beneficio de orden) and the right of excussio (beneficio de excusión) and articles 2814 and 2815 of the Mexican Federal Civil Code and all corresponding Articles in the Civil Code of all of the States of Mexico.
Section 10.13 Dana Parties Guarantor.
     Dana Mexico also executes this Agreement as guarantor (fiador) of each and every undertaking of the Dana Parties contained or referred to in this Agreement and all Schedules attached hereto and expressly waives the benefit of priority (beneficio de orden) and the right of excussio (beneficio de excusión) and articles 2814 and 2815 of the Mexican Federal Civil Code and all corresponding Articles in the Civil Code of all of the States of Mexico.
Section 10.14 Prior Agreements.
     This Agreement precludes and supersedes any other agreements between any of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including any other agreements related to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares set forth in the JV Agreement.
