The proceeds of the Bonds shall be applied by the Issuer to pay the costs of acquiring, constructing and installing buildings, structures, facilities and related machinery and equipment on certain realty heretofore acquired by the Issuer for use in the manufacturing, processing, assembling, storing and distribution of seats for heavy trucks and buses and related products (said real estate, buildings, structures, facilities, machinery, equipment and related personal property being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Project”).

Simultaneously with the issuance of the Bonds, the Issuer and Bostrom Seating, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”) will enter into a Lease Agreement dated March 1, 1999 (the “Lease Agreement”), whereby the Issuer will agree to lease the Project to the Guarantor and the Guarantor will agree to pay rentals to the Issuer at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay when due the principal of, premium (if any) and interest (“Debt Service”) on the Bonds and the purchase price of Bonds tendered for purchase pursuant to the mandatory or optional tender provisions of the Indenture.

The Bonds shall be limited obligations of the Issuer payable solely out of the rentals payable by the Guarantor pursuant to the Lease Agreement and any other revenues, rentals or receipts derived by the Issuer from the leasing or sale of the Project (the “Lease Revenues”).

As additional security for the payment of Debt Service on the Bonds, the Guarantor will enter into this Bond Guaranty Agreement dated March 1, 1999 (the “Bond Guaranty”) in favor of the Trustee, whereby the Guarantor will guarantee payment when due of Debt Service on the Bonds.

As additional security for the payment of the Bonds, the Guarantor will cause Chase Manhattan Bank Delaware (in its capacity as issuer of the initial letter of credit referred to below, the “Credit Obligor”) to issue an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the Trustee in the amount of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, to enable the Trustee to pay the principal amount of the Bonds when due and to pay the principal portion of the purchase price of Bonds tendered (or deemed tendered)

for purchase, plus (ii) interest on the Bonds for a period of 56 days at the rate of 12% per annum, to enable the Trustee to pay interest on the Bonds when due and to pay the interest portion of the purchase price of Bonds tendered (or deemed tendered) for purchase.  The initial letter of credit to be delivered to the Trustee and any substitute letter of credit delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture are herein referred to as the “Letter of Credit”.

The Letter of Credit is initially issued pursuant to various credit, guaranty and security agreements among the Credit Obligor, the Issuer, the User, and persons related to the User, which evidence, guarantee or provide security for the obligations of the User to reimburse the Credit Obligor for draws under the Letter of Credit and the observance and performance of various agreements of the User related thereto (collectively the “Credit Documents”).

(b)           The guaranty set forth in this Section is an absolute and irrevocable guaranty of payment and not of collectibility or performance and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Issuer or any other Person or to realize upon any Property subject to the Lien of the Indenture or upon any other direct or indirect security for the Bonds, or to resort to any other remedies.

(c)           Each default in payment of Debt Service shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

(d)           The Guarantor hereby waives all of the following and all defenses, counterclaims, or offsets which the Guarantor may have by reason thereof:  (1) notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon, notice of any defaults by the Is-

4

suer in the payment of any such sums, and notice of the creation, renewal, or accrual of any liability of the Issuer, (2) any presentment, demand, notice or protest of any kind, (3) any right (i) to have the Issuer joined with the Guarantor in any suit brought against the Guarantor on this Agreement, (ii) to require the Trustee or a Holder to forthwith bring suit against the Issuer on the Bonds, and (iii) to require that the Trustee or a Holder obtain any judgment against the Issuer on the Bonds in connection with the enforcement of any rights against the Guarantor hereunder, and (4) any other act or thing (including without limitation alteration of the Bonds, Letter of Credit or the Financing Documents or debt evidenced thereby or security therefor), or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may, by operation of law or otherwise, in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or which might otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor.

(e)           The guaranty set forth in this Section shall remain in full force and effect without reference to future changes in conditions, including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, changes in law, until all Holders shall have been indefeasibly paid in full all sums due under the terms and provisions of the Bonds and the Lease Agreement notwithstanding any terms or provisions contained in the Bonds (including any discharge or termination of the Indenture as a result of deposits being made with the Trustee), and until such sums are not subject to rescission or repayment upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or similar proceeding affecting the Issuer or the Guarantor.

(a)           If, at any time and for any reason whatsoever, an Adjudication of Invalidity (as defined hereinafter) shall have been made, the Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and save the Holders harmless from the consequences of such an event by purchasing the Bonds at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof plus interest accrued thereon to the date of the purchase.  A purchase will be made within thirty days after receipt by the Guarantor of a written request from a Holder, which written request shall specify that an Adjudication of Invalidity has occurred.  The Guarantor shall be obligated to make such purchase without the necessity of any showings or proofs on the part of a Holder that such Holder has suffered any losses or damages (such losses and damages being conclusively presumed upon the occurrence of an Adjudication of Invalidity).  The term “Adjudication of Invalidity” shall mean either (i) a final, unappealable adjudication by any court of competent jurisdiction, binding upon the Guarantor or the Issuer (or any of them), or if not binding upon the Guarantor or the Issuer (or any of them), applicable to the Bonds in the unqualified Opinion of Bond Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, such opinion being in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantor, that, under the constitution or general laws of the State of Alabama, the Issuer or the Trustee or the Credit Obligor lacked authority to do any one or more of the following at the time any one of the following was done:  (a) issue the Bonds, (b) enter into the Indenture, (c) issue the Letter of Credit, or (d) enter into the Lease Agreement; or (ii) a final, unappealable adjudication by any such court that the Bonds (or, on a ground applicable to the Bonds, that any other obligations) are otherwise invalid for any other reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any invalidity or irregularity in any statutory, judicial or other proceedings relating to the formation or existence of the Issuer, relating to the issuance of the Bonds or the Letter of Credit or relating to the execution and delivery of any of the Financing Documents.  The obligation to purchase the Bonds in the event of an Adjudication of Invalidity shall apply even though the Bonds or a part thereof may have

5

been called for redemption and shall apply even after the date set for redemption if the Bonds shall not yet have been redeemed.  The Guarantor shall give or cause to be given at their expense to the Trustee prompt written notice of any Adjudication of Invalidity of which the Guarantor may become aware, and the Trustee shall give written notice of such Adjudication of Invalidity to the Holders.

(b)           No purchase of the Bonds by the Guarantor pursuant to this Section shall relieve the Guarantor of its obligation to pay Basic Rental Payments upon the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability.

(c)           Whether or not there is an Adjudication of Invalidity and in addition to the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and save each Holder and the Trustee harmless from and against all damage, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which any Holder or the Trustee may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (1) such Adjudication of Invalidity, (2) any breach by the Guarantor or the Issuer (or any of them) of any representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default or any Event of Default under any Financing Document, the Letter of Credit, or the Bonds, together with all reasonable expenses resulting from the compromise or defense of any claims or liabilities arising as a result of any such breach or default or Event of Default, (3) any legal action commenced to challenge the validity of any of the Financing Documents, the Letter of Credit or the Bonds, and (4) any other cause relating to any of the Financing Documents, the Letter of Credit or the Bonds.  The Guarantor shall be obligated to make the payments described in this paragraph only after receipt from a Holder of written notice requesting that such payments be made, identifying the reason for such payments and specifying the amounts to be paid.  The Guarantor shall make such payments to the Holder within thirty days after receipt of such notice.

(d)           The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section constitute original undertakings on the part of the Guarantor, are not collateral to the obligations of the Issuer or any other person or entity with respect to the Bonds, and are independent, separate and apart from the guaranty obligations of the Guarantor set forth under Section 2.01.

(a)           The Guarantor will indemnify and hold harmless any Holder and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (any Holder and any such person being in this Section collectively called a “Holder”) against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint and several, or actions in respect thereof, to which any Holder may become subject under any statute or common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or actions in respect thereof, arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in this Agreement, including the financial statements referred to herein, or any omission or alleged omission to state herein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements herein not misleading; and will reimburse any Holder for all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(b)           If any such action or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Holder and in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Guarantor, such Holder shall promptly notify the Guarantor in writing and the Guarantor shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all expenses.  Any Holder shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Holder unless (a) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Guarantor in writing, (b) the Guarantor has failed to assume the defense and to employ counsel, or (c) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Holder and the Guarantor, and such Holder shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Guarantor (in which case, if such Holder notifies the Guarantor in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the

13

Guarantor’s expense, the Guarantor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Holder, it being understood, however, that the Guarantor shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all such Holders, which firm shall be designated in writing by such Holders).  Each Holder, as a condition of such indemnity, shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the Guarantor in the defense of any such action or claim.  The Guarantor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with the written consent of the Guarantor, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any such Holder from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

SECTION 5.12                                           Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Guarantor contained in this Agreement, and any other document, instrument and agreement referred to or contemplated by this Agreement, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person, or (ii) delivery of, and payment for, the Bonds.
