EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement made as of the 29th day of May, 2013 (this “Agreement”) by and between Federal-Mogul Corporation, which has its offices at 26555 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, Michigan 48033 (together with its successors and assigns, “Employer”), a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“IEP”), and Kevin Freeland residing at 15476 Boulder Pointe Rd., Eden Prairie, MN 55347 (“Employee” or “you”).

In consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Employment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Employer hereby employs Employee to perform the duties described in Section 2 below, and Employee hereby accepts such employment. Employee’s title shall be Chief Executive Officer of the Aftermarket Division (as defined below), reporting to the Employer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Employee understands, acknowledges and agrees that, as previously announced publicly by Employer, the Board has modified the Employer’s corporate structure to create a separate Aftermarket Division primarily engaged in the manufacture, sale and distribution of automotive, industrial and commercial parts in the aftermarket (as opposed to original equipment manufacturers). As used in this Agreement, the term “Aftermarket Division” shall mean the Vehicle Component Systems operating segment referred to in the Employer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as such operating segment may be modified, supplemented or altered from time to time as approved by the Board of Directors of Employer.

2. Duties. Employee shall perform such duties for Employer and its subsidiaries as Employer or the Board may request from time to time so long as such duties are consistent with the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Aftermarket Division. Employee agrees to devote his full business time and reasonable best efforts to such duties. Employee shall perform the services required under this Agreement in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area, subject to travel requirements consistent with his position, unless otherwise approved by the Board.

3. Benefits. During the Term (as defined herein), Employee shall be entitled to twenty (20) days of paid time-off per year of employment in accordance with the policies of Employer and shall participate in all benefit programs and plans for which he is eligible, which are made available to all executive employees of Employer (including an automobile allowance equal to 4% of the Base Salary in effect from time to time); provided, however, that Employee shall not be entitled to participate in any incentive compensation arrangement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, including Exhibit B to this Agreement. Subject to compliance with its relocation policy, Employer shall reimburse Employee for his reasonable relocation expenses (which amount shall not exceed $150,000) when he establishes residence in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area. Employee shall establish residence on a full time basis in the Detroit area within 12 months of the commencement of the Term and shall maintain such residence throughout the Term.

4. Term. The term of employment under this Agreement shall commence on or about June 17, 2013 and end on March 31, 2018 unless such employment ceases earlier for any reason (see Section 6 below) (whether: (i) terminated for Cause; (ii) terminated without Cause; (iii) due to

death or Disability (as defined below); or (iv) by the action of Employee such as by Employee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(ii)(c)) below, resignation or retirement. For all purposes under this Agreement “Term” shall mean the period beginning on the first day and ending on the last day of Employee’s employment under this Agreement.

5. Compensation.

i) Cash Compensation. During the Term, Employer agrees to pay to Employee and Employee agrees to accept, as his cash compensation for all services to be rendered under this Agreement, a base salary at the rate of $600,000 per full 365-day year, subject to upward adjustment, if any, as determined from time to time by the Board (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be earned and payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of Employer.

Employee shall also be eligible to receive a bonus under the Employer’s Management Incentive Plan or a successor plan (the “MIP”) in respect of each completed fiscal year that Employee remains employed by Employer during the Term. Employee’s target bonus opportunity under the MIP shall be 100% of the Base Salary in effect from time to time, based on achievement of metrics approved by the Board in its discretion. Employee’s maximum bonus opportunity under the MIP shall be 200% of the Base Salary in effect from time to time. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms as a result of the expiration of the Term on March 31, 2018 and is not extended beyond March 31, 2018, Employee shall be eligible for a pro rata MIP bonus in respect of fiscal 2018, as determined by the Board. Employee shall also be eligible to receive a pro-rated MIP bonus with respect to fiscal 2013, as determined by the Board; however, such bonus shall not be less than $250,000.

Any bonus contemplated by this Agreement (whether pursuant to the MIP or otherwise) shall be deemed earned and payable only if (i) the bonus is approved by the Board in writing and (ii) Employee is employed by Employer on the date such bonus is paid (other than any pro rata bonus in respect of fiscal 2018). Any bonus payments shall be made promptly following approval by the Board and in no event later than sixty-five (65) days after the end of the taxable year of Employer for which such approval was given.

The Base Salary and annual bonus under the MIP are referred to herein together as the “Cash Compensation”. All payments of Cash Compensation shall be made in cash and shall be subject to applicable deductions, and to payroll and withholding taxes as required by law.

ii) Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Effective as of the first day of the commencement of the Term, Employee is hereby granted a performance-based economic value added award on the terms set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Performance Award Terms”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Performance Award Terms, to the extent any Payment (as defined in the Performance Award Terms) would otherwise exceed $20 million, Employee’s entitlement to the portion of such Payment exceeding $20 million shall be contingent upon obtaining the approval of Employer’s shareholders of an increase to the maximum payment that can be made under the Plan (as defined in the Performance Award Terms), which approval Employer shall use its best efforts to obtain at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

6. Early Termination.

i) Power of Termination. The Employer may terminate the employment of Employee under this Agreement at any time, with Cause, or in the discretion of Employer, without Cause. “Cause” shall mean any of the following:(a) conviction of any crime (other than traffic violations and similar minor infractions of law); (b) failure to follow, in any material respect, the lawful directions given by Employer or its subsidiaries or the policies or procedures adopted by the Board from time to time; (c) failure to come to work on a full-time basis, other than on holidays, vacation days, sick days, or other days off under Employer’s business policies; (d) impairment due to alcoholism, drug addiction or similar matters; and (e) a material breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach of Sections 8 or 9 hereof. Prior to termination for “Cause” as a result of failure as contemplated in clause (b) or (c) above, Employee shall be given written notice by hand delivery or United States Postal Service (or a reasonable substitute for United States Postal Service), of his activity giving rise to such failure and will have 5 business days from receipt of the notice to correct such activity; provided that Employer shall only be required to provide notice under this sentence one time during any calendar year for each alleged breach.

ii) Effect of Termination. (a) In the event that Employee’s employment is terminated (whether: (i) for Cause; (ii) without Cause; (iii) due to death or Disability; or (iv) by the action of Employee such as resignation or retirement), the Employee shall be entitled to receive any Base Salary earned and not yet paid through the date of termination and any amounts payable on account of accrued but unused paid-time-off days. Employee’s employment under this Agreement will terminate upon Employee’s death or Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, Disability shall have the meaning given to such term under the Federal–Mogul Corporation 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.

(b) In the event that Employee’s employment is terminated prior to March 31, 2018 by Employer without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason (as hereafter defined), the Employee shall be entitled to receive on the sixtieth day following his employment termination date, in addition to any amounts due under Section 6(ii)(a) above (but without duplication of any amounts due under Section 6(ii)(a) above), an amount equal to the lesser of (A) one (1) year’s Base Salary or (B) if there is less than one (1) year left in the Term, the remaining Base Salary that would have been payable through the end of the Term (in either case, at the rate in effect at the time of termination). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that (B) of the preceding sentence applies, the length of all restrictions on competitive services set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement shall be reduced to the length of time between the termination and the end of the Term (but the Employer shall retain its right under Section 9 to extend the post-employment period for an additional one (1) year so long as it complies with the requirements of Section 9). In the event that Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason under clause (iii) of the definition of that term, the amount otherwise payable under this Section 6(ii)(b) shall be increased by $1,000,000.

(c) “Good Reason” shall mean and be limited to, (i) the failure of Employer to make any payment expressly required to be made under the terms of this Agreement or any amendment hereto, if such failure continues for 15 business days following receipt of written notice detailing the amount and circumstances of such failure given by hand delivery or United

States Postal Service (or a reasonable substitute for United States Postal Service), from Employee to the Chairman of the Board with a copy to the last known General Counsel of Employer, provided that if such failure is the result of a good faith dispute with respect to such payment then such failure shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute “Good Reason,” (ii) a change or diminution of the Employee’s responsibilities such that he no longer serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Aftermarket Division reporting to the Board, or (iii) the failure of Employer to obtain at or prior to the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders the shareholder consent referenced in Section 5(ii) above. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms upon expiration of the Term on March 31, 2018 be considered, or deemed to be, a termination of Employee’s employment by Employer without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason.

(d) The obligations of Employer to make any payment required pursuant to this Section 6 (other than any amounts of Employee’s accrued Base Salary and any amounts payable on account of accrued but unused paid-time-off days), is subject to and conditioned upon (i) execution and delivery by Employee to Employer within 45 days of Employee’s employment termination date of a release agreement in favor of Employer, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and equity holders in respect of Employee’s employment with Employer and the termination thereof substantially in a form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and as then provided by Employer to Employee, and (ii) such release agreement, once executed by Employee and delivered to Employer, becomes irrevocable and final under the applicable law.

iii) No Other Rights of Employee. In the event of the cessation of the employment of the Employee for any reason or no reason whether as contemplated in clauses (i) and (ii) above or otherwise, the Employee shall cease to have any right to Cash Compensation or any other payment or consideration other than (i) as expressly set forth in this Section 6 and (ii) under any employee benefit plans of Employer and its subsidiaries applicable to Employee in the event of cessation of employment under the circumstances of such cessation, and (iii) any accrued vested benefits under any retirement plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and applicable law and (iv) as may be required by operation of applicable law. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement may result in any duplication of any calculation, benefit, allocation, payment or amount, such consequence is not intended and no such duplicate amount shall be included in any calculation, benefit, allocation, payment or amount.

iv) Resignation. Employee may resign from his employment under this Agreement (but will remain subject to applicable terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 hereof). Any such resignation will not be on less than two (2) weeks prior written notice to Employer which written notice shall be provided as specified in this Section 6 ii) (c).

7. Representations and Warranties. Employee represents as follows:

i) To the best of his knowledge, Employee is not a party to, or involved in, or under investigation in, any pending or threatened litigation, proceeding or investigation of any governmental body or authority or any private person, corporation or other entity.

In the event that, following its review thereof with its legal counsel, Employer, acting in good faith, determines that Employee is subject to a Restrictive Obligation or that the terms thereof otherwise would adversely affect or interfere with the business, operations or activities of Employer or its Affiliates, Employer may, upon notice to Employee, terminate the employment of Employee hereunder, which will for all purposes have the same effects as a voluntary resignation of the employment of the Employee hereunder.

v) Employer and Employee agree that Employee shall not disclose to the Employer any information regarding any past employer obtained by Employee while employed by any past employer the disclosure of which would constitute a breach of Employee’s fiduciary or contractual obligations to his current employer.

8. Confidential Information. During the Term and at all times thereafter, Employee shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Employer and its subsidiaries all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data (collectively, “Confidential Information”), including without limitation trade secrets, business opportunities and methodologies relating to the business of Employer and its subsidiaries, and their respective businesses: (i) obtained by Employee during Employee’s employment with Employer and (ii) not otherwise in the public domain.

or in any other relationship or capacity, and will not enter into the employ of any Covered Business, render any services to any Covered Business, raise capital or seek to raise capital for any Covered Business, or otherwise become interested in, receive compensation from, or aid, represent, work with or for, or assist any Covered Business directly or indirectly in any manner and will not seek, agree to, obtain, negotiate with respect to or otherwise arrange to engage in, any of the activities, arrangements, employment, relationships, transactions or investments referred to above; provided, however, that the provisions in this Section 9(i) shall not be deemed to preclude Employee from investing his own funds to acquire securities solely for his own account: (x) during the Term in a manner that is in compliance with the policies and procedures of the Employer and its subsidiaries; or (y) after the end of the Term and on or prior to the End Date, that either (A) does not constitute a direct or indirect interest in any Covered Business; or (B) if such investment does constitute a direct or indirect interest in a Covered Business, such investment is solely a passive investment, and such investment does not, in the aggregate, constitute more than one percent (1%) of any class or series of outstanding securities of such Covered Business and the securities of such entity so purchased by Employee are registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

  (A) Employer may, in its discretion, extend the 1-year post-employment period specified in Section 9(i) above for an additional one (1) year (in which case the “End Date” for purposes of both Section 9(i) above and Section 9(ii) below shall be the date that is two (2) years from the last day of Employee’s employment under this Agreement) by providing written notice to that effect to Employee not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the initial 1-year post-employment period; provided, however, that any such extension shall be subject to Employee receiving, during the second year of such extended period, one year’s Base Salary (at the rate in effect at the time of termination), payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of Employer; and

 

  (B) In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms as a result of expiration of the Term on March 31, 2018 and is not extended beyond March 31, 2018, the 1-year post-employment period specified in Section 9(i) above shall be inapplicable unless the Employer elects, in its discretion, to have such 1-year period apply to Employee (in which case the “End Date” for purposes of both Section 9(i) above and Section 9(ii) below shall be the date that is one (1) year from the last day of Employee’s employment under this Agreement) by providing written notice to that effect to Employee not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that any such extension shall be subject to Employee receiving, during such 1-year period, one year’s Base Salary (at the rate in effect at the time of termination), payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of Employer; and

 

  (C)

Employee shall have the right to elect COBRA continuation coverage for himself and eligible family members with respect to the 1-year post-employment period specified in Section 9(i) above, as well during any time that such period is extended at the election of Employer pursuant to this Agreement, in which case

  Employer shall pay any applicable premiums; provided, however, that the payment of such premiums by Employer shall cease at such time as Employee becomes employed by a company other than Employer. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9(i)(C) is intended to interfere with Employee’s right to elect COBRA continuation coverage under applicable federal and state law.

i) From the date hereof and through a period ending on the End Date, Employee will not: (a) solicit, interfere with or endeavor to entice away from Employer or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, any current or prospective customer or client, or any person in the habit of dealing with any of the foregoing; (b) attempt to direct or solicit any current or prospective customer or client away from Employer or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates; (c) interfere with, entice away or otherwise attempt to obtain or induce the withdrawal of any employee of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates; (d) advise any person not to do business with Employer or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (e) attempt to direct, divert, or otherwise usurp any business opportunity or transaction that Employee learned of during Employee’s employment with Employer.

ii) The Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employer and its subsidiaries have a worldwide reputation and operate on a worldwide basis and that the scope of this covenant will and is intended to prohibit his activities as set forth above throughout the world. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 are fair and reasonable and necessary to protect the business, reputation, goodwill and franchise of Employer and its subsidiaries. Employee acknowledges that, in light of the significant compensation of Employee, Employee is voluntarily entering into this provision and is well able to comply with its provisions without hardship.

10. Remedy for Breach. Employee hereby acknowledges that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Employer and its Affiliates and all other persons referred to therein, and are not unduly burdensome to Employee and that Employee acknowledges such obligations under such covenants. Employee further acknowledges that Employer and its Affiliates (including but not limited to IEP, Mr. Icahn, his family and estate) will be irreparably harmed if such covenants are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, in addition to any other relief to which Employer and its Affiliates (including but not limited to IEP, Mr. Icahn, his family and estate) may be entitled, including claims for damages, all such persons and entities shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief (without the requirement of any bond) from a court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of restraining Employee from an actual or threatened breach of such covenants.

11. Miscellaneous.

i) Affiliate. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Affiliate” (or a person or entity “Affiliated” with another person or entity) and “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) shall have the meanings set forth in Rule 405 of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Employee is not entitled to any other payments or benefits from any of the Employer or its Affiliates except as expressly provided for herein.

iii) Amendments and Waivers. No provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged except as agreed to in writing by Employee and Employer.

vi) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

vii) Judicial or Arbitral Modification. If any court or arbitrator determines that any of the covenants in Sections 8 or 9, or any part of any of them, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such covenants and parts thereof shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portion. If any court or arbitrator determines that any of such covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable because of the geographic or temporal scope of such provision, such court or arbitrator shall reduce such scope to the extent necessary to make such covenants valid and enforceable and Employee will enter into such agreement with Employer as may be requested by them in order to reduce the scope of such provisions so that such provisions will be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

viii) Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Employer. Employee may not sell, convey, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the rights, claims, powers or interest established under this Agreement other than with the prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in its discretion) of the Employer, provided that the same may, upon the death of Employee, be transferred by will or intestate succession, to his estate, executors, administrators or heirs, whose rights therein shall for all purposes be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement. IEP, Mr. Icahn, his family members, and the respective Affiliates of any of the foregoing, are express third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and are entitled to enforce the terms hereof.

i) This Agreement and all other agreements referred to herein or contemplated hereby in connection with the Employee’s employment are intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed consistent with that intent.

ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreements referred to herein or contemplated hereby in connection with the Employee’s employment, to the extent that the right to any payment (including the provision of benefits) hereunder provides for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code, the payment shall be paid (or provided) in accordance with the following:

Information for which confidential treatment has been requested has been replaced with asterisks.

 

If the Employee is a “Specified Employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the Date of Termination, then no such payment shall be made or commence during the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the date that is six months following the Date of Termination or, if earlier, on the date of the Employee’s death, if the earlier making of such payment would result in tax penalties being imposed on the Employee under Section 409A of the Code. The amount of any payment that would otherwise be paid to the Employee during this period shall instead be paid to the Employee on the first business day following the date that is six months following the Date of Termination or, if earlier, the date of the Employee’s death.

If the Employee is a ‘Specified Employee’ under Code Section 409A, the full cost of any continuation or provision of employee benefit plans or programs following the Date of Termination (other than any cost of medical or dental benefit plans or programs or the cost of any other plan or program that is exempt from Code Section 409A) shall be paid by the Employee until the earlier to occur of the Employee’s death or the date that is six months and one day following the Employee’s Date of Termination, and such cost shall be reimbursed by the Company to, or on behalf of, the Employee in a lump sum cash payment on the earlier to occur of the Employee’s death or the date that is six months and one day following the Employee’s Date of Termination. In addition, if the Employee is a ‘Specified Employee’ under Code Section 409A on the Employee’s Date of Termination, any payment or reimbursement of Employee’s expenses, or in-kind benefits provided, that constitutes a ‘deferral of compensation’ within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code, shall not be paid or provided, as applicable, until the earlier to occur of the Employee’s death or the date that is six months and one day following the Executive’s Date of Termination.

iii) The time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreements referred to herein or contemplated hereby in connection with the Employee’s employment, including but not limited to any stock appreciation right or other equity-based award, payment or amount that provides for the ‘deferral of compensation’ within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code, may not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A and the guidance and Treasury regulations issued thereunder.

Exhibit B

EQUITY COMPENSATION TERMS

EVA Award. Effective as of the first day of the commencement of the Term, the Employee is granted the EVA Award.

Vesting of EVA Award. One hundred percent (100%) of the EVA Award shall be earned and vest on December 31, 2017. Any Payment due under the EVA Award will be paid to the Employee on the Payment Date.

Equity Award. In the event that a Designated Transaction shall be announced publicly by the Employer after July 1, 2013 and prior to December 31, 2017, the Employee shall have 30 days following such announcement (or, if such announcement is made on or after December 1, 2017, such shorter period of time equal to the number of days between such announcement and December 31, 2017) to deliver to the Employer a written notice (an “Election Notice”) electing to convert the EVA Award into an Equity Award.

For the avoidance of doubt (but subject to the following sentence): (i) the Employee may deliver only one Election Notice to the Employer with respect to any particular Designated Transaction; (ii) the delivery by the Employee of an Election Notice to the Employer shall be irrevocable; and (iii) the EVA Award shall terminate and become void immediately upon delivery by the Employee of an Election Notice to the Employer and the Employee will thereafter be entitled to receive only the Equity Award, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee delivers an Election Notice to the Employer and the Designated Transaction is thereafter abandoned or for any other reason is not consummated on or prior to December 31, 2017 then the Equity Award shall revert automatically to the EVA Award, effective as of the earlier of (A) December 31, 2017 or (B) the date that the Employer announces publicly that the Designated Transaction has been abandoned. In no event shall the Employee be entitled to receive a Payment under both the EVA Award and the Equity Award. Rather, once a Payment is made under either such Award, the other shall terminate and be extinguished and be of no further force or effect.

As a condition to the receipt of any Payment pursuant to the Equity Award, the Employee shall execute prior to the Payment Date a non-competition agreement for the benefit of the Persons designated by the Employer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Employer, for a period beginning on the date of that agreement and ending on the latest of (A) December 31, 2017 or (B) one year following the Designated Transaction Date or (C) one year following the Exercise Date.

Vesting of Equity Award. In the event of a Sale, if the Employee has delivered an Election Notice to the Employer in accordance with the terms hereof, then one hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Award shall be earned and vest on the Designated Transaction Date. Any Payment due under the Equity Award shall be paid on the Payment Date.

In the event of an Offering, if the Employee has delivered an Election Notice to the Employer in accordance with the terms hereof, then one hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Award shall be earned and vest on December 31, 2017 and the Employee shall be entitled to exercise the Equity Award, by delivering a written notice of exercise to the Employer, on any date (the date of such

delivery, “Exercise Date”) thereafter and prior to the earlier of (A) December 31, 2019 and (B) sixty (60) days following the Employee’s last day of employment with the Vehicle Components Segment or any of its subsidiaries. Irrespective of the timing of the Exercise Date, any Payment with respect to the Equity Award shall be made on the Payment Date.

Maximum Payments. Notwithstanding any other term of this Exhibit B: (i) in no event shall the aggregate Payment under the EVA Award exceed $50 million; and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate Payment under the Equity Award exceed $70 million. Following the Payment under either the EVA Award or the Equity Award, both the EVA Award and the Equity Award shall thereafter be immediately terminated and no additional sums will be due thereunder.

Effect of Termination. If the Employee is terminated without Cause, resigns for Good Reason, dies, or incurs a termination of employment as a result of a Disability:

 

  (i) On or prior to December 31, 2014 (and provided that the Employee has not, prior to the date of termination, delivered an Election Notice to the Employer in accordance with the terms hereof), then the Employee shall be entitled to receive on the Payment Date a portion of the EVA Award equal to the Interim Amount, if any, such Interim Amount to be determined with a Measuring Date as of the date of such termination, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the EVA Award, and no other amounts shall thereafter be payable to the Employee on account of the EVA Award or the Equity Award, both of which shall terminate and have no further force or effect; or

 

  (ii) on or after January 1, 2015 and prior to December 31, 2017 (and provided that the Employee has not, prior to the date of termination, delivered an Election Notice to the Employer in accordance with the terms hereof) (such termination, a “Clause (ii) Event”), then the Employee shall be entitled to receive on the Payment Date a portion of the EVA Award equal to the Interim Amount, if any, such Interim Amount to be determined with a Measuring Date which is the earlier of December 31, 2017 or the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of termination (such date, the “End Date”). Any Payment shall be paid only on the terms and subject to the conditions of the EVA Award. In the event of a Clause (ii) Event, no Payment other than the Payment contemplated in this clause (ii) shall be payable to the Employee on account of the EVA Award or the Equity Award, both of which shall terminate and have no further force or effect; or

 

  (iii) at any time after the Employee has delivered an Election Notice to the Employer in accordance with the terms hereof and prior to December 31, 2017, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive the full Equity Award, if any (which shall be paid to the Employee on the Payment Date), on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Equity Award, and no other amounts shall thereafter be payable to the Employee on account of the EVA Award or the Equity Award, both of which shall terminate and have no further force or effect.

If the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason other than a termination without Cause, a resignation for Good Reason, death or Disability prior to December 31, 2017, then the EVA Award and the Equity Award (whether or not the Employee has delivered an Election Notice to the Employer and whether or not vested) shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled without the Payment of any consideration hereunder or thereunder.

Miscellaneous. Any Payment due with respect to any Award may be made by the Employer through the delivery to the Employee of cash or publicly-traded securities of the Vehicle Components Segment or a combination thereof, at the option of the Employer. In the event that the Employer elects to make any Payment in the form of publicly-traded securities, the value of such securities shall be implied/extrapolated from the 30-day volume weighted average price per share thereof, determined as of the close of business on the date that the Board determines the amount of such Payment.

The Board’s good faith determination regarding the calculation of all Payments, values, financial results, costs, accounting matters, amounts and metrics contemplated hereunder, including, without limitation, Economic Profit, EBIT, Working Assets and all other defined terms (and the components of any of the foregoing), shall be conclusive. In addition, the Board may, in its discretion, adjust any amounts, metrics or calculations hereunder, including, without limitation, Economic Profit, EBIT and Working Assets (and the components thereof), to reflect or to exclude the impact of: (i) gains and losses from extraordinary or non-recurring events; (ii) gains and losses due to divestitures, acquisitions, re-organizations, or any such other material change in the Employer’s or the Vehicle Components Segment’s business; (iii) changes in applicable accounting rules or principles; (iv) changes in the Employer’s or the Vehicle Components Segment’s methods of accounting; and (v) changes in applicable law. In addition, the Board may, in its discretion, give pro forma full year effect to any growth capital projects, acquisitions, divestitures and restructuring expenses that occur in any period beginning after December 31, 2015. The Board’s good faith determinations in this regard shall be conclusive and binding on the Employee.

The Board may at any time, in its sole discretion, cancel, declare forfeited, rescind, or require the return of any unexercised, undelivered, or unpaid Award or Payment contemplated hereby upon the Board determining that a Restatement Event has at any time occurred. In addition, at any time up to and including the date that is eighteen (18) months following the latest of the vesting, exercise or Payment with respect to an Award, the Board may, in its sole discretion, rescind any such vesting, exercise or Payment, and require the return or repayment, of any Award or Payment contemplated hereby upon the Board determining that a Restatement Event has at any time (whether before or after the vesting, exercise or Payment of the Award) occurred. In connection with any cancellation, forfeiture or rescission contemplated by this paragraph, the terms of repayment by the Employee shall be determined in the Board’s sole discretion, which may include, among other terms, the repayment being required to be made (i) in one or more installments or payroll deductions or deducted from future bonus payments or (ii) immediately in a lump sum in the event that the Employee incurs a termination of employment. In the event that an Award is rescinded, the Employee shall repay or return to the Employer any cash amount, stock, or other property received from the Employer upon the vesting, exercise or Payment of same (or, if the Employee has disposed of any stock or other property received and cannot return it, its cash value at the time of vesting, exercise or Payment), and, in the case of stock or other property delivered to the Employee, any gain or profit realized by the Employee in a subsequent sale or other disposition of such stock or other property. Such repayment and (or) delivery shall be on such terms and conditions as the Board shall prescribe. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Board shall have determined to rescind any vesting, exercise or Payment of an

All Awards shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Section 409A. Should any provision of any Award, or any other agreement or arrangement contemplated hereby be found not to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A, such provision shall be modified and given effect (retroactively if necessary), in the sole discretion of the Board, and without the consent of the Employee, in such manner as the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with, or to effectuate an exemption from, Section 409A. Any reference herein to a “termination of employment” or similar term shall mean a “separation from service” from the Employer (including, to the extent consistent with Section 409A, any successor entity), as such term is defined for purposes of Section 409A.

This Exhibit B shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and/or to be performed in that State, without regard to any choice of law provisions thereof. All disputes arising out of or related to this Exhibit B shall be submitted to the state and federal courts of New York, and each party irrevocably consents to such personal jurisdiction and waives all objections thereto, but does so only for the purposes of this Exhibit B. Alternatively, the parties may (but shall have no obligation to) agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration, the selection of the arbitrator(s) and governing procedures to be determined at the time of selection.
