 Dear Jerry: 
 On behalf of Remy
International, Inc. it is my pleasure to extend this offer of employment. I believe you will be a valuable asset and am pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, reporting to me. I look forward to
welcoming you as a Remy employee on Thursday, June 1, 2006. 
 Our offer includes the following: 
  

	•	 	SALARY: Annual salary of $300,000 that will be paid on a semi-monthly basis.

dental, prescription drug, vision, 401K, pension plan, paid holidays, and vacation days. You and your eligible dependents will be covered under the Remy health and dental program effective June 1, 2006. Information regarding your benefits will
be discussed during your benefit orientation. The Benefits Department will contact you after your start date to schedule a time to meet with you regarding your benefit eligibility and enrollment. You must be aware that a significant part of your
role going forward is to restructure our benefit plans. 

  

	•	 	BONUS PROGRAM: You are eligible to participate in our Executive Bonus Program with a target bonus of 60% of base annual salary. The first year bonus will be paid based on

diligently work with your current employer to be released from this obligation. However, if this cannot be done, Remy International will make the payment of $65,000 directly to NVR, Inc on, or before, May 31, 2006. Should you decide to leave
Remy within your first year of employment, you will be required to repay this amount.
