Staffing

APS will provide the Company with the individuals set forth on Exhibit A (“Temporary Staff”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with the titles, pay rates and other descriptions set forth therein.

The Temporary Staff may be assisted by or replaced by other professionals at various levels, as required, who shall also become Temporary Staff. APS will keep the Company informed as to APS’ staffing and will not add additional Temporary Staff to the assignment without first consulting with the Company to obtain Company concurrence that such additional resources are required and do not duplicate the activities of other employees or professionals.

If APS finds it desirable to augment its professional staff with independent contractors (an “I/C”) in this case, (i) APS will file, and require the I/C to file, 2014 affidavits indicating that the I/C has reviewed the list of the interested parties in this case, disclosing the I/C’s relationships, if any, with the interested parties and indicating that the I/C is disinterested; (ii) the I/C must remain disinterested during the time that APS is involved in providing services on behalf of the Company; and (iii) the I/C must represent that he/she will not work for the Company or other parties in interest in this case during the time APS is involved in providing services to the Company.

APS’ standard practice is to charge for an I/C’s services at the APS rate for a professional of comparable skill and experience, which rate typically exceeds the compensation provided by APS to such I/C.

Timing and Fees

APS will commence this engagement upon receiving a copy of the Agreement executed by the Company.

The Company shall compensate APS for its services, and reimburse APS for expenses, as set forth on Schedule 1.

We look forward to working with you.

Sincerely yours,

The Company acknowledges that all information (written or oral), including advice and Work Product (as defined in Section 5), generated by APS and the Temporary Staff in connection with this engagement is intended solely for the benefit and use of the Company (limited to its management and its Board of Directors) in connection with the transactions to which it relates.

AP Services, LLC
General Terms and Conditions

same contain information or materials furnished to APS by the Company that constitute Information referred to in Section 4 above. Except as provided above, all information, reports, materials, software and other work product that APS creates or develops specifically for the Company as part of this engagement (collectively known as “Work Product”) shall be owned by the Company and shall constitute Information referred to in Section 4 above.

The Company shall pay damages and expenses as incurred, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel and the costs of APS’ professional time (APS’ professional time will be reimbursed at APS’ rates in effect when such future time is required), relating to or arising out of the engagement, including any legal proceeding in which an indemnitee may be required or agree to participate but in which it is not a party.

The Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan with respect to contracts made and to be performed entirely therein and without regard to choice of law or principles thereof.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration. Each party shall appoint one non-neutral arbitrator.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Southfield, Michigan under the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, and the arbitrators shall issue a reasoned award. The arbitrators may award costs and attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. However, in the event the Company files under Chapter 11, the Company and APS agree that the Bankruptcy Court shall have jurisdiction over any and all matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement, including the indemnification provisions outlined in Section 7, above.
