THIRD AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

This THIRD AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of the 30th day of June, 2009, among:

(a) SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”);

(b) the Lenders, as defined in the Credit Agreement, as hereinafter defined;

(c) NATIONAL CITY BANK, as the co-lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent for the Lenders under the Credit Agreement (“Agent”); and

(d) THE PRIVATEBANK AND TRUST COMPANY, as the co-lead arranger and syndication agent.

WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders are parties to that certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2008, that provides, among other things, for loans and letters of credit aggregating One Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($120,000,000), all upon certain terms and conditions (as amended and as the same may from time to time be further amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Borrower’s business has experienced significant disruption as a result of the unprecedented events occurring in the automotive industry, including the bankruptcy filings of General Motors Corporation and Chrysler Group LLC (collectively, the “Auto Industry Conditions”), as well as the general downturn in the global economy;

WHEREAS, the unusual and uncertain circumstances within the auto industry, and the lack of visibility with respect to demand for autos and other factors that impact Borrower’s business make it difficult to forecast beyond a relatively short period of time with a reasonably high level of confidence; therefore, the covenants being addressed in this Amendment will continue to focus on short-term performance;

WHEREAS, Borrower anticipates that more accurate financial information regarding forecasts will be available to Borrower prior to October 31, 2009;

WHEREAS, Agent and the Lenders intend to have appraisals and field examinations conducted with respect to the assets of Borrower that will assist in the evaluation of the Companies;

WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders desire to amend the Credit Agreement to modify certain provisions thereof and add certain provisions thereto;

WHEREAS, each capitalized term used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning given such term in the Credit Agreement; and


WHEREAS, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the provisions of the Credit Agreement revised herein are amended effective as of the date of this Amendment;
