BURNS DATED FEBRUARY 3, 2004 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") made and entered into on the 3rd day of February, 2004, by and between Dana Corporation, a Virginia corporation, whose principal place of business is located at 4500 Dorr Street, Toledo, Ohio (the "Corporation"), and Michael J. Burns (the "Executive"); WHEREAS, the Corporation wishes to employ the Executive on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Executive desires to be employed by the Corporation under the terms and conditions set forth herein, and to forego opportunities elsewhere during his period of employment; and WHEREAS, the parties intend for this Agreement to operate until terminated in accordance with the terms hereof as more fully set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth below, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. Employment and Term. The term of employment of the Executive by the Corporation hereunder (the "Employment Period") shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall continue until the occurrence of a Date of Termination (as defined in Section 4 below). For purposes of this Agreement, the "Commencement Date" shall mean March 1, 2004, or such earlier date as may be indicated in writing by the Executive. 2. Position and Duties of the Executive. (a) Position. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, with such duties and responsibilities as are customarily assigned to such positions, and such other duties and responsibilities commensurate therewith as may from time to time be assigned to him by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board"). The Executive shall report solely to the Board. Effective as of the Commencement Date, the Executive shall be appointed to the Board. Thereafter during the Employment Period, the Corporation shall cause the Executive to be included in the slate of persons nominated for election to the Board and shall use its best efforts (including, without limitation, the solicitation of proxies) to have the Executive elected and reelected to the Board for the duration of the Employment Period. It is the intention of the Board that the Executive shall be elected as Chairman of the Board ("Chairman") at such time that the Board deems it appropriate to do so. At the Corporation's request, upon termination of the Executive's employment with the Corporation for any reason, the Executive shall (i) promptly resign from the Board and from all other positions the Executive then holds as an officer or member of the board of directors of any of the Corporation's subsidiaries or affiliates and (ii) execute any and all documentation reflecting such resignations. During the Employment Period the Executive shall, without compensation other than that herein provided, also serve and continue to serve, if and when elected and re-elected, as an officer or director, or both, of any Subsidiary, division or Affiliate of the Corporation. For all purposes of this Agreement, (1) a "Subsidiary" shall mean a corporation or other entity, of which 50% or more of the voting securities or other equity interests is owned directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by the Corporation, and (2) an "Affiliate" shall mean a corporation or other entity which is not a Subsidiary and which directly, or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Corporation. For the purpose of this definition, the terms "control," "controls" and "controlled" mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a corporation or other entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. (b) Scope of Duties. Throughout the Employment Period the Executive shall devote his full time and undivided attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Corporation except for reasonable vacations and except for illness or incapacity, but nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from devoting reasonable periods required for the following activities, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the regular performance of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or violate in any way Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement: (i) serving as a director or member of a committee of any organization involving no conflict of interest with the interests of the Corporation; (ii) delivering lectures, fulfilling speaking engagements, teaching at educational institutions; (iii) engaging in charitable and community activities; and (iv) managing his personal investments. 3. Compensation and Benefits. (a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be paid base salary at an annual rate not less than $950,000, which shall be increased to a rate not less than $1,000,000 as of the date the Executive is elected Chairman. The rate of base salary described above shall be subject to such increases as shall be awarded from time to time in accordance with the Corporation's regular administrative practices of other salary increases applicable to executives of the Corporation or other upward adjustments as the Board (or the Compensation Committee thereof (the "Compensation Committee")) deems to be necessary or desirable. The Executive's annual base salary as in effect from time to time in accordance with this Section 3(a) shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Annual Base Salary". The Annual Base Salary shall be payable in regular installments, no less frequently than monthly. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any increase thereof pursuant to this Section 3(a). Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation of the Corporation under this Agreement. 2 (b) Additional Compensation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive annual short-term incentive awards or bonuses (such award or bonus is hereinafter referred to as an "Annual Bonus") pursuant to the Dana Corporation Additional Compensation Plan, and from any successor or replacement plan (the Dana Corporation Additional Compensation Plan and such successor or replacement plans being referred to herein collectively as the "ACP"), in accordance with the terms thereof. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to earn a target Annual Bonus of 100% of Annual Base Salary and a maximum Annual Bonus of 200% of Annual Base Salary. Each Annual Bonus shall be determined on the same basis as other "A Group" executives of the Corporation and shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the receipt of such Annual Bonus is deferred in accordance with the terms of the ACP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive remains employed through December 31, 2004, the Executive shall be entitled to a guaranteed minimum bonus for calendar year 2004 equal to 100% of his Annual Base Salary for such year. For purposes of this Section 3(b), the Executive's Annual Base Salary for calendar year 2004 shall be annualized (i.e., not pro rated). (c) Retirement Benefits. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall provide the Executive with a supplemental retirement benefit as described below (the "Supplemental Retirement Benefit"). The Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be equal to the vested portion of the balance of a notional cash balance account (the "Notional Account") that shall be established by the Corporation on behalf of the Executive as of the Commencement Date as if the Executive were a participant in the Dana Corporation CashPlus Plan (the "Cash Balance Plan"), subject to the terms and conditions described herein. Effective as of the Commencement Date, the Notional Account shall be credited with an initial amount of $5,900,000, and thereafter during the Employment Period shall be credited with annual service-based credits (the "Annual Credits") and interest credits (the "Interest Credits"). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Annual Credits and Interests Credits shall be calculated in the manner prescribed under the Cash Balance Plan (but without regard to any legally imposed limits on compensation or benefits under Section 401(a)(17) or Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). For purposes of calculating the Annual Credits, but not for the purpose of determining the amount of any other benefit under this Agreement, the Executive will be deemed to have completed 30 years of service with the Corporation as of the Commencement Date. The Notional Account, including Annual Credits and Interest Credits, shall become fully vested on the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "Vesting Date") if such date occurs during the Employment Period; provided, however, that if, prior to the Vesting Date, the Executive's employment with the Corporation terminates by reason of his death or Disability (as defined in Section 4(a)(ii) hereof) or if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Corporation without Cause or if the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason, the portion of the Notional Account that shall be vested shall be equal to the sum of (1) 75% plus (2) 5/12 of 1% multiplied by the number of full months elapsed from the Commencement Date to the Date of Termination. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit otherwise payable hereunder shall be offset by the amount of any vested account balance the Executive may have under the Dana Corporation SavingsWorks Plan, other than the portion thereof 3 attributable to the Executive's elective deferrals (e.g., 401(k) contributions). The Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be paid in a single lump sum payment as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall not provide the Executive with any legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any property, equity or assets of the Corporation. The obligation to pay the Supplemental Retirement Benefit to the Executive shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Corporation to pay money to the Executive in the future and shall be subject to the claims of the Corporation's creditors. (d) Other Benefits. Except as provided herein, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit programs and perquisites provided by the Corporation from time to time for the benefit of its senior executives generally, including, without limitation, its Income Protection Plan for Management and Certain Other Employees providing layoff and severance benefits, its death benefit plans (consisting of its Group Insurance Plan for Management Employees providing life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and travel accident insurance), its disability benefit plans (consisting of its salary continuation, sickness and accident and long-term disability benefits programs), its medical, dental and health and welfare plans and other present or equivalent successor plans and practices of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and divisions, for active employees, for which senior executive officers, their dependents and beneficiaries, are eligible, and shall be entitled to all payments or other benefits under any such plan or practice subsequent to the Employment Period as a result of participation in such plan or practice during the Employment Period. In addition, during the first three years of the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Corporation for expenses incurred for continued tax preparation services by the Executive's current provider in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per year. The Executive acknowledges that he shall not be eligible to participate in any tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan (and associated excess benefits plan) currently maintained by the Corporation, which have been closed to new participants. (e) 2004 Equity Grants. (i) Initial Option Grant. As of the Commencement Date, the Compensation Committee shall grant to the Executive, pursuant to the Dana Corporation Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Stock Incentive Plan"), a non-qualified stock option (the "Initial Option") to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation, par value $1 per share ("Corporation Stock"). The Initial Option shall have a per share exercise price equal to the "fair market value" (as such term is defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) on the Commencement Date, shall vest and become fully exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares subject thereto on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Commencement Date, so long as the Executive remains employed by the Company on such date, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Incentive Plan and in Exhibit A attached hereto. 4 (ii) Initial Long Term Performance Stock Award. As of the Commencement Date, the Compensation Committee shall award to the Executive an aggregate of 36,865 performance shares (the "Performance Shares") pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan. A minimum of zero percent (0%) and a maximum of two hundred percent (200%) of the Performance Shares may be earned by the Executive based on the Corporation's satisfaction of certain performance criteria over the 2004-2006 performance period. The terms and conditions applicable to the award of Performance Shares are as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. (iii) Initial Restricted Stock Unit Grant. As of the Commencement Date, the Compensation Committee shall award to the Executive an aggregate of 24,577 restricted stock units (the "RSUs") pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan. The terms and conditions applicable to the award of RSUs are as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto. (f) Replacement Compensation. (i) To the extent that (A) the prior employer of the Executive (the "Prior Employer") fails to pay to the Executive any portion of Executive's compensation earned by him as of December 31, 2003 in respect of (1) his annual bonus for 2003 or (2) long-term incentive awards earned by him in respect of cycles ending December 31, 2003, or (B) the Executive forfeits any "option gains" in respect of stock options of the Prior Employer which were vested as of December 31, 2003, the Corporation agrees to pay to the Executive, in cash and/or in unrestricted shares of Corporation Stock, an aggregate amount necessary to replace such forfeited or unpaid compensation. Subject to the provisions of the succeeding sentence, the amount payable by the Corporation pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Executive promptly after the Executive has provided the Corporation with reasonable evidence satisfactory to the Compensation Committee to the effect that such compensation was forfeited or otherwise not paid by the Prior Employer, including the amount thereof. If the Executive receives payment from the Prior Employer in respect of any of the foregoing after the date the Corporation has made a payment to him hereunder, then the Executive shall notify the Corporation and promptly remit to the Corporation all amounts so received from the Prior Employer. (ii) The Compensation Committee shall make the following grants to the Executive to replace the value of other compensation being forfeited by the Executive by reason of terminating his employment with the Prior Employer: 5 (1) As of the Commencement Date, the Executive shall be awarded 38,558 restricted stock units (the "Additional RSUs") pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan and subject to the individual limits for grants of this nature set forth in the Stock Incentive Plan. The terms and conditions applicable to the award of Additional RSUs are as set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto. (2) As of the Commencement Date, but subject to the approval by the stockholders of the Corporation at the 2004 Annual Meeting of an amendment to the Stock Incentive Plan raising the overall annual limitation on the number of shares of Corporation Stock underlying awards which can be granted to any individual thereunder (the "Plan Amendment"), the Executive shall be granted an additional 102,552 RSUs (the "Contingent RSUs"). The Contingent RSUs shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as those set forth in Section 3(f)(ii)(1) above with respect to the Additional RSUs. If for any reason the Plan Amendment is not approved by the Corporation's stockholders, the Compensation Committee shall make an economically equivalent replacement award on identical terms, except that settlement of such replacement award shall be in cash rather than in Corporation Stock. (3) As of the Commencement Date, the Executive shall be granted a non-qualified stock option (the "Replacement Option") in respect of 360,000 shares of Corporation Stock pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan. The Replacement Option shall have a per share exercise price equal to the "fair market value" (as such term is defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) on the Commencement Date, shall vest and become fully exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares subject thereto on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Commencement Date, so long as the Executive remains employed by the Corporation on such date, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Incentive Plan and Exhibit E attached hereto.

(i) Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and other appointments, and to personal secretarial and other assistance, commensurate with his position and at least comparable to those received by other senior executives of the Corporation.

(ii) If the Corporation determines in good faith that the Disability (as defined below) of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 18(b) below of its intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such event, the Employment Period shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided, that within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive's duties with the Corporation on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days 7 as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Corporation or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive's legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably). (b) Cause. The Corporation may terminate the Executive's employment during the Employment Period for Cause or without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been for "Cause" only (i) if termination of his employment shall have been the result of his conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, the charge of having committed a felony (whether or not such conviction is later reversed for any reason), or (ii) if there has been a breach by the Executive during the Employment Period of the provisions of Section 2(b), relating to the time to be devoted to the affairs of the Corporation, or of Sections 8 or 9, relating to confidential information and competition, and such breach results in demonstrably material injury to the Corporation; provided, that a termination of the Executive's employment hereunder for Cause shall not be effective unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a certified copy of a resolution of the Board adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the entire membership of the Board (excluding the Executive) at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose and with respect to which the Executive was given prior notice and an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard, finding that the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, specifying the particulars thereof in detail, and, in the case of subparagraph (ii) above, in the case of an alleged breach of the provisions of Section 2(b), the Executive shall have either failed to remedy such alleged breach within thirty days from his receipt of written notice from the Secretary of the Corporation pursuant to such resolution duly adopted by the Board demanding that he remedy such alleged breach, or shall have failed to take all reasonable steps to that end during such thirty-day period. Anything in this Section 4(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the employment of the Executive shall in no event be considered to have been terminated by the Corporation for Cause if termination of his employment took place (1) as the result of bad judgment or negligence on the part of the Executive, or 8 (2) because of an act or omission believed by the Executive in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interests of the Corporation, or (3) for any act or omission in respect of which a determination could properly be made that the Executive met the applicable standard of conduct prescribed for indemnification or reimbursement or payment of expenses under (A) the Bylaws of the Corporation, or (B) the laws of the State of Virginia, or (C) the directors' and officers' liability insurance of the Corporation, in each case either as in effect at the time of this Agreement or in effect at the time of such act or omission, or (4) as the result of an act or omission which occurred more than twelve calendar months prior to the Executive's having been given notice of the termination of his employment for such act or omission unless the commission of such act or such omission could not at the time of such commission or omission have been known to a member of the Board (other than the Executive, if he is then a member of the Board), in which case more than twelve calendar months from the date that the commission of such act or such omission was or could reasonably have been so known, or (5) as the result of a continuing course of action which commenced and was or could reasonably have been known to a member of the Board (other than the Executive, if he is then a member of the Board) more than twelve calendar months prior to notice having been given to the Executive of the termination of his employment. (c) Good Reason. During the Employment Period, the Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean (i) the assignment to the Executive of duties which are materially inconsistent with his status as the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer or a material adverse change in the nature or status of the Executive's responsibilities or (ii) a material breach by the Corporation of the provisions of this Agreement, in either case which is not remedied within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of written Notice of Termination from the Executive; provided, that (1) the Executive shall have provided a written Notice of Termination to the Corporation, attention of the Secretary, given within 90 days following the occurrence of the event giving rise to the assertion of Good Reason and (2) such written Notice of Termination provides for a Date of Termination not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of 9 such Notice of Termination, unless the Corporation shall agree to an earlier Date of Termination. An election by the Executive to terminate his employment given under this Section 4(c) shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive for the purpose of this Agreement or any plan or practice of the Corporation. (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive's employment by the Corporation or by the Executive hereunder (other than termination by reason of the Executive's death) shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 18(b) below. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specifies the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 4 (e) below).

"Date of Termination" means (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Corporation for Cause, the date of the Notice of Termination (or any later date specified therein, as the case may be), (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive other than for Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days following the date of such Notice of Termination, (iii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination made in accordance with Section 4(c) above, (iv) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Corporation other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the later of the date of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, and (v) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be (A) the close of business on the last day of the month in which occurs the date of death of the Executive or (B) the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 10 5. Obligations of the Corporation Upon Termination. (a) Termination by the Corporation Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Corporation shall terminate the Executive's employment other than for Cause, death or Disability or the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason (termination in any such case referred to as "Termination"), subject to and conditioned upon the execution by the Executive of, and his not subsequently revoking, a release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F: (i) the Corporation shall pay the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination the sum of: (1) the Executive's Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) a pro rata Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which occurs the Date of Termination, such pro rata Annual Bonus to be equal to the product of (x) the Executive's target Annual Bonus in effect under the ACP as of the Date of Termination and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365, and (3) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon), his Supplemental Retirement Benefit as determined under Section 3(c) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued Obligations"); and (ii) the Corporation shall pay to the Executive on a monthly basis an amount equal to the Executive's Severance Compensation (defined below), payment of such Severance Compensation to commence on the last day of the month immediately following the month in which occurs the Date of Termination and to be paid on the last day of each month thereafter until the earlier to occur of (x) the last day of the month in which occurs the second anniversary of the Date of Termination or (y) the last day of the month in which the Executive attains the age of 65 (such period to be called the "Termination Period"); provided, however, that such payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to reflect any other amounts payable to the Executive in respect of salary or bonus continuation to be received by the Executive under any severance plan, policy or arrangement of the Corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Severance Compensation" shall mean the 11 sum of (1) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Annual Base Salary provided in Section 3(a) at the rate being paid at the time the Executive's termination of employment occurred, and (2) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Executive's target Annual Bonus in effect under the ACP for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs; and (iii) During the Termination Period, or such longer period as any plan, program, practice or policy may provide, the Corporation shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's dependents and beneficiaries at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies of the Corporation providing medical, dental, disability and life insurance coverage if the Executive's employment had not been terminated in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as in effect and applicable generally to other senior executives of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their families during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other senior executives of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their dependents and beneficiaries, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to the respective similar benefits provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until the end of the Termination Period and to have retired on the date of the end of the Termination Period. To the extent that any benefits referred to in this Section 5(a)(iii) shall not be payable or provided under any such plan by reason of the Executive's no longer being an employee of the Corporation as the result of Termination, the Corporation shall itself pay, or provide for payment of, such benefits and the service credit for benefits provided for in Section 5(a)(iv) below, to the Executive, his dependents and beneficiaries.

(ii) In the event of the Disability of the Executive during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation provided for in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above, at the rate being paid on the Disability Effective Date, and at the times that such amounts would have been paid or earned by the Executive had the Executive remained employed by the Corporation, for the period of such Disability but not in excess of six months. The amount of any payments due under this Section 5(c)(ii) shall be reduced by any payments to which the Executive may be entitled for the same period because of disability under any disability or pension plan of the Corporation or of any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof. (iii) In the event of the Executive's death or Disability as set forth in Sections 5(c)(i) or 5(c)(ii) above, the Executive (or, in the event of his death, his legal representative or designated beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon), his Supplemental Retirement Benefit as determined under Section 3(c) and accrued but unused vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid, and any other amounts or benefits to 13 which the Executive and/or the Executive's family is otherwise entitled under the terms of any employee benefit or incentive plan of the Corporation.

Non-exclusivity of Rights. Except as provided in Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement entered into after the date hereof with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into after the date hereof with, the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 7. Full Settlement. The Corporation's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Corporation may have against the Executive or others.

In the event that the employment of the Grantee with the Corporation or a subsidiary is terminated for any reason prior to the vesting date applicable to any RSUs, all non-vested RSUs then credited in respect of the Grantee shall be forfeited to Dana Corporation immediately upon such termination, and the Grantee shall cease to have any rights with respect to, or any interest in, the forfeited RSUs effective as of the date of termination and, without limitation, shall cease to be entitled to receive any future dividends or other distributions upon such shares with record dates occurring after the effective date of such termination; provided, however, that the RSUs shall become fully vested upon the occurrence of the following events: (i) termination of the Grantee's employment on account of death; (ii) termination of the Grantee's employment on account of Disability, as defined in the employment agreement between the Grantee and the Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "Employment Agreement"); (iii) termination of the Grantee's employment at the initiative of the Corporation (and not on the Grantee's initiative) other than for Cause, as defined in the Employment Agreement; and (iv) termination of the Grantee's employment at the initiative of the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement); and provided further, however, that the Grantee shall become vested in a pro rata portion of the RSUs upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Corporation (as defined in the Plan) which occurs during the Employment Period (as defined in the Employment Agreement), such pro rata portion to be determined based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that have elapsed from the Commencement Date until the date of such Change in Control, and the denominator of which is 36; or shall vest on a basis that is no less favorable than the Change in Control vesting provisions in effect for RSU grants made to other senior officers of the Corporation. 5. The Corporation shall withhold all applicable taxes required by law to be withheld from all amounts paid in respect of any or all of the RSUs. The Grantee may satisfy the D-3 withholding obligation by paying the amount of any taxes in cash or, with the approval of the Committee, shares of Stock may be deducted from the payment to satisfy the obligation in full or in part. The amount of the withholding and the number of shares to be deducted shall be determined by the Committee with reference to the Fair Market Value of the Stock when the withholding is required to be made. 6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Grantee may elect to defer receipt of the Stock that he would otherwise have been entitled to receive upon the vesting of all or a portion of the RSUs, pursuant to such rules as may be promulgated by the Committee. 7. The validity and construction of this award agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.
