       Percentage with a maximum payout of 100% of your then-current base
salary. The Annual Bonus Percentage is equal to two times the percentage growth
in Adjusted Pre-tax Income for the applicable year. For purposes of your bonus
calculations, “unusual items” include all non-recurring items general excluded
from Earnings Per Share and EBITDA by institutional investors or analysts when
evaluating the Company’s performance, such as one-time gains from asset sales,
litigations charges or recoveries and restructuring charges, but including
normal provisions for slow moving and obsolete inventory and accounts
receivable. Your bonus will be paid during the course of your employment in
accordance with and subject to Company policy.

 

  6. Restricted Stock

 

       The Company will grant you, in accordance with and subject to the terms
of the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan, 5,000 shares of
restricted stock to vest at a rate of 20% over 5 years beginning on the first
anniversary of the date of the grant.

 

  7. Separation Agreement

 

       Should Dorman Products terminate your employment for reasons outside your
control, we agree to pay you, on a monthly basis, the equivalent of 50% of your
then current base pay for a 12 month period of time. For the avoidance of doubt,
termination for events “outside your control” would include termination
resulting from business down-turn or other circumstances unrelated to your

include poor job performance or your failure to comply with Company’s
directives, policies and procedures.

 

       Dorman Products may, upon written notice to you, release you from your
non-compete obligation under Section 4 of your Non-Compete Agreement in which
case the post-termination monthly pay set forth in this paragraph 4 will cease
