DIRECTOR NOMINATION AGREEMENT, dated as of June 16, 2015 (this “Agreement”), by and among Unique Fabricating, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Peninsula Fund V Limited Partnership (together with its Affiliates, as hereinafter defined, “Peninsula”).

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is in its best interests to effect an initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”);

WHEREAS, upon completion of the IPO, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) will be divided into three classes (each a “Class”) and consist of seven directors, including one director nominated by Peninsula, who shall be a Class III director (such director initially designated by Peninsula, and any individual subsequently identified by Peninsula in accordance with Section 2 below, a “Peninsula Nominee”);

WHEREAS, the initial term of the Class III directors will expire at the third annual meeting of Stockholders to be held after completion of the IPO, and subsequent terms of Class III directors will expire every three years thereafter; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the IPO, the Company desires to agree with Peninsula and Peninsula desires to enter into this Agreement with the Company, setting forth certain rights and obligations with respect to the nomination of a director to the Board by Peninsula from and after the IPO.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.          Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

“Affiliate” means a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Person specified.

“Bylaws” means the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company, as may be amended from time to time.

“Certificate of Incorporation” means the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as may be amended from time to time.

“Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof.

Section 2.           Board Nomination.

(a)        From and after the IPO, for so long as Peninsula beneficially owns a number of shares of Common Stock that represents at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Peninsula shall have the right (but not the obligation) pursuant to this Agreement to nominate for election to the Board one individual identified in advance in writing, and the Company shall include, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Board, whether acting through any committee of the Board or otherwise, to include such Peninsula Nominee in the slate of nominees recommended to stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholders”) for election as a director at any annual or special meeting of the Stockholders (or, if permitted, by any action by written consent of the Stockholders) at which directors of the Company of the Class of which a Peninsula Nominee is a member are to be elected.

(b)        Any vacancy arising through the death, resignation or removal of a Peninsula Nominee who was nominated to the Board pursuant to this Section 2, may be filled by the Board only with a Peninsula Nominee, as applicable, and the director so chosen shall hold office until the election at which directors of the Class to which the Peninsula Nominee has been appointed are to be elected and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

(c)        Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, Peninsula shall not be entitled to designate a Person as a nominee to the Board upon a written determination by the Board or any committee thereof responsible for the nomination of directors (which determination shall set forth in writing reasonable grounds for such determination) that such Person would not be qualified under any applicable law, rule or regulation to serve as a director of the Company. In such an event, Peninsula shall be entitled to select a Person as a replacement nominee and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Board, whether acting through any committee of the Board or otherwise, to cause such Person to be nominated as the Peninsula Nominee at the same meeting (or, if permitted, pursuant to the same action by written consent of the Stockholders) as such initial Person was to be nominated. Other than with respect to the issue set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company shall not have the right to object to any Peninsula Nominee.

(d)        So long as a Peninsula beneficially owns a number of shares of Common Stock that represents at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company shall notify Peninsula in writing of the date on which proxy materials are expected to be mailed by the Company in connection with an election of directors at an annual or special meeting of the Stockholders at which directors of the Class including the Peninsula Nominee is to be elected (and the Company shall deliver such notice at least 60 days (or such shorter period to which Peninsula consents, which consent need not be in writing) prior to such expected mailing date or such earlier date as may be specified by the Company reasonably in advance of such earlier delivery date on the basis that such earlier delivery is necessary so as to ensure that such nominee may be included in such proxy materials at the time such proxy materials are mailed). The Company shall provide Peninsula with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments on any portion of the proxy materials relating to Peninsula or the rights and obligations provided under this Agreement and to discuss any such comments with the Company.

(e)        In the event that Peninsula loses its right to nominate a Peninsula Nominee pursuant to this Agreement by virtue of ceasing to hold the requisite number of shares of Common Stock, Peninsula shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Peninsula Nominee to resign from the Board immediately prior to such time as a replacement director is nominated or elected by the Board or the Company’s stockholders.

(f)         So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, subject to applicable legal requirements, the Bylaws and the Certificate of Incorporation shall accommodate and be subject to and not in any respect conflict with the rights and obligations set forth herein.

Section 3.           Miscellaneous.
