REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 6 (this "Amendment") is entered into as of March 20, 2014, by and among TECUMSEH PRODUCTS COMPANY, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Michigan (“Tecumseh Products”), TECUMSEH COMPRESSOR COMPANY, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Tecumseh Compressor”), TECUMSEH PRODUCTS OF CANADA, LIMITED, a Canadian corporation (“Tecumseh Products Canada”), and EVERGY, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Evergy”) (Tecumseh Products, Tecumseh Compressor, Tecumseh Products Canada, and Evergy are each a “Borrower”, and collectively “Borrowers”), PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("PNC"), the various financial institutions named therein or which hereafter become a party thereto (together with PNC, collectively, "Lenders") and PNC, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, "Agent").
BACKGROUND
A.Borrowers, Agent and Lenders are parties to a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of April 21, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated December 30, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated November 6, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 3 to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of December 11, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 4 to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of December 31, 2013, and as amended by Amendment No. 5 to Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of January 22, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to which Agent and Lenders provide Borrowers with certain financial accommodations.
B.    Lenders advanced the $15,000,000 Term Loan on the Amendment No. 3 Closing Date as follows: (i) $2,250,900 of the Term Loan was advanced to Borrowers on the Amendment No. 3 Closing Date by applying that amount to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances on the Amendment No. 3 Closing Date; and (ii) the remaining $12,749,100 balance of the Term Loan was advanced into the Term Loan Pledge Account (the “Term Loan Pledged Cash”).
C.    Because the Margined Value of all of Borrowers’ Eligible Equipment and Eligible Real Property was less than the $12,749,100 balance of the Term Loan Pledged Cash, the Term Loan Pledged Cash was to be released as follows: (i) an amount equal to the Margined Value of all of Borrowers’ Eligible Equipment and Eligible Real Property would be released to Borrowers on the date when all of the Term Loan Release Conditions are satisfied at the same time; and (ii) the Remaining Balance would be released to Borrowers when the regularly scheduled $250,000 principal payments made by Borrowers on the Term Loan together with Specified Term Loan Prepayments equaled or exceeded the Remaining Balance and if on that date all of the Term Loan Release Conditions were satisfied at the same time.

D.    On February 28, 2014, the Paris, TN Stamping Assets Seller sold the Paris, TN Stamping Assets, and the portion of the Paris, TN Stamping Assets Sale Proceeds equal to the Paris, TN Stamping Assets Sale Term Loan Paydown Amount (that being $2,073,600) was delivered to Agent and applied to the Term Loan.
E.    Before the date of this Amendment, the Term Loan Release Conditions have not been satisfied.
F.    Borrowers have requested to remove the Real Property commonly known as 420 S. Maumee Street, Tecumseh, Michigan, from the definition of “Mortgaged Real Property” in the Loan Agreement and to make related amendments to the definition of “Term Loan Release Conditions” in the Loan Agreement, to enable Borrowers to satisfy the Term Loan Release Conditions.
G.    As a result of the foregoing, on the date of this Amendment: (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Term loan is $12,176,000; (ii) the Term Loan Pledged Cash is $12,749,100 plus interest that has accrued since its deposit into the Term Loan Pledged Account (the “Term Loan Pledged Cash Interest Amount”); and (iii) the Margined Value of all of Borrowers’ Eligible Equipment (which, for clarity, excludes the Equipment that was part of the Paris, TN Stamping Assets sold in the Paris, TN Stamping Assets Sale) and Eligible Real Property (excluding the Real Property commonly known as 420 S. Maumee Street, Tecumseh, Michigan) is $10,537,131.
H.    The Term Loan Release Conditions will be satisfied simultaneous with the satisfaction of the Amendment No. 6 Conditions Precedent.
I.    In connection with the foregoing, Borrowers requested that simultaneous with the satisfaction of all other Amendment No. 6 Conditions Precedent, that Agent apply $1,639,269 of the Term Loan Pledged Cash to the Term Loan and transfer the remaining $11,109,831 of the Term Loan Pledged Cash plus the Term Loan Pledged Cash Interest Amount to an account of Borrowers at Agent as designated by Borrowers (the applications of the Term Loan Pledged Cash described in this sentence are called the “Specified Term Loan Pledged Cash Applications”), with the result that upon satisfaction of the Amendment No. 6 Conditions Precedent, the Term Loan principal balance is $10,537,131, which equals the Margined Value of all of Borrowers’ Eligible Equipment and Eligible Real Property.
J.    The Borrowers have requested that Agent and Lenders amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement, and Agent and Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and conditions in this Amendment.
