6. Conversion.

(a) Optional Conversion. Any holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the right, at such holder’s option, at any time and from time to time, to convert, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 6 of this Part B of this Article FOURTH, any or all of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares as is equal to the product of the number of Series A Preferred Shares being so converted multiplied by the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference divided by (ii) the conversion price of $ 28.2537833935 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6(d) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH below (such price in clause (ii), the “Conversion Price”). Such conversion right shall be exercised by the surrender of certificate(s) representing the Series A Preferred Shares to be converted to the Corporation at any time during usual business hours at its principal place of business to be maintained by it (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares), accompanied by written notice that the holder elects to convert such Series A Preferred Shares and specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued and (if so required by the Corporation) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation duly executed by the holder or its duly authorized legal representative and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to Section 6(1) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH below. All certificates representing Series A Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion shall be delivered to the Corporation for cancellation and canceled by it. As promptly as practicable after the surrender of any Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall deliver to the holder of such shares so surrendered certificate(s) representing the number of fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares into which such shares are entitled to be converted. At the time of the surrender of such certificate(s), the Person in whose name any certificate(s) for Common Shares shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such Common Shares on such date, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such Common Shares shall not then be actually delivered to such Person.

(b) Automatic Conversion.

(i) Each outstanding Series A Preferred Share shall be automatically converted, with no further action required to be taken by the Corporation or the holder thereof, (x) if the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares approve such conversion, or (y) immediately prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering or a Sale Transaction in which the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares did not otherwise elect to treat the Sale Transaction as a Liquidation pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH, into the following;

(1) the right to receive the Liquidation Payment; and

(2) the number of fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares equal to the quotient of (x) the Liquidation Preference divided by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect (after giving effect to any adjustments pursuant to Section 6 of this Part B of this Article FOURTH.

(ii) The Liquidation Payment shall be payable, to the extent funds are legally available therefor, (x) in the case of the Initial Public Offering, in Common Shares and (y) in the case of such a Sale Transaction, in cash to the extent available in such Sales Transaction, and then in Capital Shares; provided, however, the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding may elect to receive the Capital Shares paid or distributed in the Sale Transaction in lieu of the cash available therefor. If the Liquidation Payment is to be paid in Common Shares in connection with an Initial Public Offering, the value of such shares shall be determined by the Closing IPO Price. If any portion of the Liquidation Payment is to be paid or distributed in Capital Shares other than in connection with the Initial Public Offer, then the value of the Capital Shares shall be deemed to be the Current Market Price of the Capital Shares as of three (3) days prior to the date of such payment or distribution.

(iii) Series A Preferred Shares also shall be automatically converted into Common Shares (pursuant to the formula set forth in the first sentence of Section 6(a) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH) immediately following receipt by the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares of each Special Distribution. The numbers of Series A Preferred Shares to be so converted in connection with any Special Distribution shall be an amount equal to the product of (1) the number of Series A Preferred Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Special Distribution and (2) the quotient of (A) the aggregate proceeds received in such Special Distribution over (B) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of all of the Series A Preferred Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Special Distribution. If the funds of the Corporation available for the Special Distribution are insufficient to allow conversion of all Series A Preferred Shares outstanding as of such date, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any funds available for such Special Distribution and such conversion shall be effected pro rata. Any Series A Preferred Shares that the Corporation is not able to convert due to insufficient funds shall continue to be outstanding until otherwise converted in accordance with this Section 6 of this Part B of this Article FOURTH.

(iv) Immediately upon any automatic conversion provided for herein, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares, notwithstanding that the certificates representing the Common Shares shall not then actually be delivered to such Person. Upon written notice from the Corporation, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares so converted shall promptly surrender to the Corporation at its principal place of business to be maintained by it (or at such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by such notice to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares) certificates representing the shares so converted.

(c) Termination of Rights. On the date of any optional conversion pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH above or of any automatic conversion pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH above, all rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote, shall terminate, except only the rights of holders thereof to (i) receive certificates for the number of Common Shares into which such Series A Preferred Shares have been converted, (ii) receive the Liquidation Payment in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH above, (iii) the payment of declared but unpaid dividends, if any, pursuant to Section 2 of this Part B of this Article FOURTH above and (iv) exercise the rights to which they are entitled as holders of Common Shares.

(d) Antidilution Adjustments. The Conversion Price, and the number and type of securities to be received upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(i) Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Common Shares. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time, prior to conversion of Series A Preferred Shares (x) pay a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares, (y) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares or (z) combine the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Corporation) so that the holder of any share of Series A Preferred Shares thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation that such holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon, by reason of or immediately following any of the events described above, had such Series A Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6(d)(i) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the case of any such subdivision, combination or change, to the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

(ii) Certain Distributions. In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time, prior to conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, distribute to holders of Common Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the resulting or surviving Person and the Common Shares are not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation or another issuer, securities of the Corporation (other than Common Shares) or another issuer or other assets (excluding dividends payable in Common Shares for which adjustment is made under another paragraph of this Section 6(d) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH and any distribution in connection with an Excluded Transaction) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase of any of the foregoing, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Corporation) by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Shares immediately prior to the date of distribution less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Shares and (y) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Shares immediately prior to the date of distribution (but such fraction shall not be greater than one); provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation if the holder of Series A Preferred Shares would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights or

warrants upon conversion at any time of Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective retroactively to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(iii) Other Changes. In case the Corporation at any time or from time to time, prior to the conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, shall take any action affecting its Common Shares similar to or having an effect similar to any of the actions described in any of Section 6(d)(i) or (ii) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH above or Section 6(i) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH below (but not including any action described in any such Section or the issuance of any Capital Shares of the Corporation at a price less than the Conversion Price) and the Board of Directors in good faith determines that it would be equitable in the circumstances to adjust the Conversion Price as a result of such action, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors in good faith determines would be equitable in the circumstances (such determination to be evidenced in a resolution, a certified copy of which shall be mailed to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares).

(iv) No Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 6(d) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH need be made to the Conversion Price if the Corporation receives written notice from holders of all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares that no such adjustment is required.

(e) Performance Based Conversion Price Adjustment. Upon completion of the Corporation’s audited financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Corporation’s independent accountant shall deliver copies of a report setting forth its determination of EBITDA and Outstanding Net Indebtedness based on such audited financial statements, such determination to be binding on the Corporation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares and all other shareholders of the Corporation. For each Target that the Corporation achieves in a given Period, the Conversion Price then currently in effect shall be increased to an amount that would cause the Percentage Ownership to be increased by any Percentage Increase achieved with respect to that Target. The first adjustment period shall commence on January 1, 2006 and end on December 31, 2006 (“Period 1”), and the second adjustment period shall commence on the next day after the conclusion of Period 1 and end on December 31, 2007 (“Period 2”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, holders of majority of the Series A Preferred Shares outstanding at the time, or after conversion of all of the Series A Preferred Shares, holders of at least 80% of the Common Shares then outstanding, may, at any time, in whole or in part, deem the Targets set forth in the this Section 6(c) of this Part B of Article FOURTH satisfied and the Corporation shall make the adjustments contemplated hereby.

(f) Equity Return Conversion Price Adjustment.

(i) Upon an Investor Exit Event, if any of the Targets set forth in Section 6(e) of this Part B of this Article FOURTH have not been achieved and the corresponding increase to the Conversion Price contemplated thereby has not occurred, then if

the Investors collectively receive in such Investor Exit Event at least 4 times the aggregate amount of equity invested by the Investors in absolute dollars, then the Conversion Price then currently in effect immediately prior to such Investor Exit Event shall be increased to an amount that would cause the Percentage Ownership to be increased by the lesser of (A) 5% or (B) an amount necessary to make the aggregate Percentage Ownership equal to 20%.

(ii) Upon an Investor Exit Event, to the extent that the Investors collectively receive in such Investor Exit Event at least 7 times the aggregate amount of equity invested by the Investors in absolute dollars, then the Conversion Price then currently in effect immediately prior to such Investor Exit Event shall increased to any amount that would cause the Percentage Ownership of holders of the Cloyes Shares to be increased by the lesser of (A) 5% or (B) an amount necessary to make the aggregate Ownership Percentage equal to 25%.

(iii) In the event that the consideration received by the Investors in any Investor Exit Event are securities, the value of such securities shall be based on the Current Market Price.

(iv) The calculation of any return on equity multiple contemplated by this Section 6(f) of this Part B of this Article Fourth shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment, and shall be based on the total amount of cash or the value of securities actually received by the Investors from its investment in the Corporation.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, holders of majority of the Series A Preferred Shares outstanding at the time, or after conversion of all of the Series A Preferred Shares, holders at least 80% of the Common Shares then outstanding, may, at any time, in whole or in part, deem the Targets set forth in the this Section 6(f) of this Part B of Article FOURTH satisfied and the Corporation shall make the adjustments contemplated hereby.

(h) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall within a reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) days) following any of the foregoing transactions deliver to each registered holder of Series A Preferred Shares a certificate, signed by (i) the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and (ii) the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Conversion Price then in effect following such adjustment.
