Automatic extensions of the Term shall occur unless, at least 18 months prior to the end of the Term, the Company has notified the Executive in writing that the Term shall not be extended, and further provided, that, if a Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the aforesaid period, the duration of this Agreement shall be extended, if it would otherwise end prior thereto, until the second anniversary of the date of such Change in Control, whether such two-year period ends before or after the end of such aforesaid period; provided, however, that in no event shall the Term extend beyond the end of the month in which the Executive’s 65th birthday occurs.

3. TERMINATION IN CONNECTION WITH CHANGE IN CONTROL. If a Change in Control occurs during the Term and the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated, subject to Section 23(b) below, (a) by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason at any time during the period commencing on the date of the Change in Control and ending on the second anniversary of the Change in Control or (b) by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason (without reference to the Change in Control measurement date) at any time during the period commencing 180 days prior to a Change in Control and ending immediately prior to the Change in Control (but only if the Change in Control actually occurs), and the Executive demonstrates that such termination was requested by the party taking control or was otherwise in anticipation of the Change in Control, then the Company shall pay or provide the Executive with the payments and benefits provided under Section 4 hereof.

4. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION. Subject to Section 8, in the event that the Executive becomes entitled to payments or benefits pursuant to Section 3, then the Company shall pay or provide the Executive with the following payments and benefits in lieu of any other termination, change in control, separation, severance or similar benefits under the Employment Agreement or under any other compensation arrangement with the Employer. The amounts hereunder shall reduce and be in full satisfaction of any statutory entitlement (including notice of termination, termination pay and/or severance pay) of the Executive upon a termination of employment.

(a) Subject to a potential delayed commencement pursuant to Sections 4(d) below, and subject to Section 23(e) below, the Company shall pay to the Executive: (i) any unpaid Base Salary the date it would have been paid had Executive continue employment; (ii) any Bonus earned but unpaid with respect to the fiscal year ending on or preceding the Date of Termination on the date it would have been paid if the Executive continued employment; (iii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed expenses incurred through the Date of Termination, which shall be made in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred; (iv) a pro-rata portion of the Executive’s bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs based on results for the plan year (determined by multiplying the amount of such bonus which would be due for the full fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the fiscal year of termination that the Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365), payable when it would have been paid if the Executive continued employment; (v) any accrued but unused vacation time in accordance with Company policy; and (vi) any benefits or rights to equity interests in accordance with applicable plans and grants (other than severance arrangements) (collectively, items (i) through (vi) shall be hereafter referred to as “Accrued Benefits”).

(b) Subject to a potential delayed commencement pursuant to Section 4(d) below, and at the time period specified in Section 9 (regarding release of claims), a lump sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of the Executive’s Base Salary and Bonus is made, with the multiple of Base Salary paid as provided in Section 9 and the multiple of Bonus subject to Section 9 but paid six months and one day after the termination of employment; provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs and such Change in Control is not a 409A Change in Control, or the termination occurs prior to the Change in Control and is covered by Section 3 hereof, then the

Page 7

two times Base Salary in the above clause shall be paid in 24 equal monthly installments (based on the Date of Termination and Section 9) and the two times Bonus shall be paid in a lump sum.

(c) Subject Section 4(d) and Section 9, with respect to all health plans covering the Executive, including medical, dental and prescription drug coverage if the Executive pays the applicable COBRA premium for the Executive and dependents, then for a period extending to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the COBRA period, (ii) two years after the Date of Termination, or (iii) if the Executive becomes eligible under the medical plan of a future employer, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to such premiums less the amount of co-payment required for other senior executives for such period (subject to the delayed payment requirements for the first six months pursuant to Section 4(d), and amounts for such first six months payable in lump sum six months and one day after the termination).

(d) If the Executive is deemed on the Date of Termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit (whether under this Section 4, pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement or otherwise) that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment shall not be paid (or commence) earlier than the date that is six months following the termination of employment or the Executive’s earlier death. Upon the expiration of the six month period or on the Executive’s earlier death, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 4(d) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Employee in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

5. NOTICE OF TERMINATION. After a Change in Control, any purported termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 3 shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 11. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment.

6. DATE OF TERMINATION. “Date of Termination”, with respect to any purported termination of the Executive’s employment after a Change in Control, shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by the Executive for Good Reason, shall not be less than five days nor more than 60 days, from the date such Notice of Termination is given). In the event of Notice of Termination by the Company, the Executive may treat such notice as having a Date of Termination at any date between the date of the receipt of such notice and the Date of Termination indicated in the Notice of Termination by the Company; provided, that the Executive must give the Company written notice of the Date of Termination if the Executive deems it to have occurred prior to the Date of Termination indicated in the notice.

7. EXCISE TAX. In the event that the Executive becomes entitled to payments and/or benefits which would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2), the provisions of Exhibit A shall apply.

Page 8

8. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictive covenants contained in Sections 12, 13 and 14 of the Employment Agreement or in any other agreement with the Company previously signed by the Executive shall not be affected by this Agreement and such Sections or restrictive covenants in any such agreement shall continue to apply after a Change in Control or a termination of employment after a Change in Control (even if the employment term under the Employment Agreement ended prior thereto).

9. RELEASE REQUIRED. Any amounts payable and benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond Accrued Benefits shall be contingent on the Executive executing and not revoking within the revocation period, within 60 days following the effective Date of Termination, a general release of all claims by the Executive against the Company and its affiliates substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and all amounts other than Accrued Benefits shall be paid on the 60th day following the Executive’s Date of Termination.

10. NO ASSIGNMENTS.

(a) This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto. Except as provided in Section 10(b) below, no party may assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto.

(b) The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company provided the Company shall require such successor to expressly assume in writing and agree to perform this Agreement (but without creating any rights on a second change in control), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

12. SECTION HEADINGS; INCONSISTENCY. The section headings used in this Agreement are included solely for convenience and shall not affect, or be used in connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any form, award, plan or policy of the Company, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

13. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity of unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instruments.

15. ARBITRATION. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Executive’s employment with the Company, other than injunctive relief under any restrictive covenant agreement or provision, shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a single arbitrator in Detroit, Michigan (applying Michigan law) in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties hereto. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. The parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with any such arbitration and regardless of outcome (a) each party shall pay all its own costs and expenses, including without limitation its own legal fees and expenses, and (b) joint expenses shall be borne equally among the parties.

16. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Executive and hold him harmless to the extent provided under the by-laws of the Company against and in respect to any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), losses, and damages resulting from the Executive’s good faith performance of his duties and obligations with the Company. This obligation shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

17. LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Company shall cover the Executive under directors and officers liability insurance both during and, while potential liability exists, after the term of this Agreement in the same amount and to the same extent as the Company covers its other officers and directors. This obligation shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

18. LEGAL FEES. In the event that a claim for payment or benefits under this Agreement is disputed or the Executive is otherwise enforcing rights under this Agreement and the arbitrator determines that the Executive has prevailed on the material issues in the arbitration, the Company shall promptly pay, or reimburse the Executive, for all reasonable legal and other

Page 10

professional fees, costs of arbitration and other expenses incurred in connection therewith by the Executive in such amount as determined by the arbitrator in his or her award. Any reimbursement of such fees shall occur within 60 days of the issuing of the award.

19. MISCELLANEOUS. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer or director as may be designated by the Board; provided, however, that the Company may amend this Agreement at any time, retroactively or otherwise, without the consent of the Executive, as may be necessary to preserve the intended tax characteristics of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such amendments necessary to address the requirements of Code Section 409A. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement together with all exhibits hereto sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all existing agreements between them concerning such subject matter (including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement as it may apply with regard to a termination after a Change in Control or with regard to a termination in anticipation of a Change in Control but not any stock option or other equity agreement nor any plan or programs, except as provided herein). No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

20. NO MITIGATION: NO OFFSET. In no event shall the Executive be obliged to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer, except as provided in Section 4(c) hereof. The amounts payable to the Executive hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Executive.

21. WITHHOLDING. The Company may withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

22. NOT AN AGREEMENT OF EMPLOYMENT. This is not an agreement assuring employment and the Company reserves the right to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time with or without Cause, subject to the payment provisions hereof if such termination is after, or within 180 days prior to, a Change in Control. The Executive acknowledges that the Executive is aware that the Executive shall have no claim against the Company hereunder or for deprivation of the right to receive the amounts hereunder as a result of any termination that does not specifically satisfy the requirements hereof or as a result of any other action taken by the Company. Except as expressly provided herein, the foregoing shall not affect the Executive’s rights under any other agreement with the Company.

23. APPLICATION OF SECTION 409A

(a) COMPLIANCE. The parties hereby agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with, or be exempt from, Code Section 409A, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation) would cause the Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A and modifying it would avoid such additional tax, the Company shall, upon the Executive’s specific written request, use its reasonable business efforts to in good faith reform such provision to comply with Code Section 409A; provided that the Company and the Executive agree to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

(b) SEPARATION FROM SERVICE. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “resignation,” “termination,” “terminate,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean separation from service.

(c) INSTALLMENTS TREATED AS SEPARATE PAYMENTS. If under this Agreement, an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.

(d) DISCRETION OF COMPANY TO PAY WITHIN NUMBER OF DAYS. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within 30 days following the Effective Date”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.

(e) REIMBURSEMENTS. Reimbursements of expenses payable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed are incurred. With regard to such reimbursements or any in-kind benefits under this Agreement, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Code Section 105(b) solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.

(a) In the event that the Executive shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Code Section 280G(b)(2) or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Code Section 4999 (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to the Executive the greatest of the following, whichever gives the Executive the highest net after-tax amount (after taking into account federal, state, local and social security taxes at the maximum marginal rates): (1) the Company Payments or (2) one dollar less than the amount of the Company Payments that would subject the Executive to the Excise Tax. Company Payments shall be reduced in the following order (1) acceleration of vesting of any stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the then fair market value, (2) any cash severance based on a multiple of Base Salary or Bonus, (3) any other cash amounts payable to the Executive, (4) any benefits valued as parachute payments; and (5) acceleration of vesting of any equity not covered by (1) above.

(b) The Company’s independent certified public accountants or tax counsel selected by such accountants or the Company (the “Accountants”) shall determine whether any of the Company Payments are “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2) that will be subject to the Excise Tax, the amount of such Excise Tax and any other determinations required in (a) above. To the extent permitted under Revenue Procedure 2003-68 or other applicable rules, the value determination shall be recalculated to the extent it would be beneficial to the Executive. The determination of the Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Executive, except to the extent affected by Internal Revenue Service determinations. The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountants.

(c) The Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any written communications, and summaries of any verbal communications, with any taxing authority regarding the Excise Tax covered by this provision.
