The Board of Directors of
Tecumseh Products Company

Gentlemen:

        The Board of Directors of The Herrick Foundation ("Foundation")
determined that, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, it was appropriate to
retain a consultant to review and evaluate the Foundation's shareholdings in
Tecumseh Products Company ("Tecumseh"). The Foundation has retained Beringea LLC
("Beringea"), an investment banking firm, to advise the Foundation concerning
these matters.

        After a full review and analysis, Beringea has recommended that the
Foundation liquidate its position in Tecumseh stock in the short term. Beringea
suggested various alternatives to achieve this objective. The Foundation Board
has reviewed this recommendation and has determined that it should pursue such a
sale. It also believes that it is possible that the Herricks and the Herrick
Trusts that own Tecumseh stock would be interested in liquidating their
positions. The Foundation appreciates the cooperation by representatives of
Tecumseh in discussing various alternatives for the Foundation to achieve its
objectives. After considering its alternatives, the Foundation requests that
Tecumseh take the following actions.

        1. Because the Foundation believes it would be in the best interest of
all shareholders to sell Tecumseh in the short term, the Board should form a
committee to explore the possible sale of Tecumseh to strategic and/or financial
buyers.

        2. Simultaneously with these actions, the Foundation intends to approach
potential buyers regarding their interest in purchasing the Foundation's shares
in Tecumseh or in purchasing Tecumseh. Therefore, Tecumseh's Board of Directors
should take all necessary actions to redeem or terminate the poison pills,
eliminate the Class A Protective Provision contained in the Articles of
Incorporation (including this proposal in this year's proxy statement) and take
all other necessary steps to avoid the application of the anti-takeover
provisions under applicable law, which may have an adverse effect on the
Foundation's ability to sell its shares to a third party or on a potential
purchaser's ability to purchase Tecumseh.

        We look forward to your prompt response to this letter and these
requests as Beringea believes that prompt resolution of this matter is important
to the Foundation's efforts to preserve and enhance its assets.

Very truly yours,
HERRICK FOUNDATION
