REMEDIES




     8.1 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of

and without further notice, Lender or its nominee shall have, with respect to all shares of Pledged
Class B Stock owned beneficially or of record by Borrower, all corporate rights, privileges,
options or other rights pertaining thereto as the absolute owner thereof, including, without
limitation, the right to vote such shares of Pledged Class B Stock at any annual or special meeting
of the stockholders of Federal-Mogul and to give consents, waivers



9









 







and ratifications with respect thereto, to sell, redeem or exchange any or all of such shares
of Pledged Class B Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
readjustment of the issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by such issuer of any right, pledge, or
option pertaining to any of such Shares, and, in connection therewith, to deliver any of such
shares of Pledged Class B Stock to any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other

aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or
delay in so doing.



     8.2 Waivers. No waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right or
remedy under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver
thereof or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy
under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Borrower waives presentment and demand for payment, protest,
and notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate, acceleration and nonpayment, and agrees
that its liability shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of the
Loan, or by any release or change in any security for the payment or performance of the Loan,
regardless of the number of such renewals, extensions, releases or changes. Borrower also hereby
waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien
created by any of the Loan Documents or to any action brought to enforce the Note or any other
obligation secured by the Loan Documents.



     8.3 Limitation on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision in any other section of this
Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Borrower to pay any amounts payable to Lender pursuant
to Section 2.2 of this Agreement shall be required to be paid pursuant hereto only (i) by
payment of the principal amount of the Note in cash or (ii) by the transfer of the Pledged Class B
Stock in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 8.1 hereof. The limitation on
payment described in the immediately preceding sentence shall not limit Borrower’s payment
obligations in respect of claims for breaches of representations and warranties hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents or any taxes, insurance, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other
fees or expenses incurred by Lender or advanced by Lender to or on behalf of Borrower or pursuant
to any of the Loan Documents.



SECTION 9

time, take such actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to protect Lender’s lien and

Lender of any Obligations, responsibilities or duties of Borrower arising in connection with any
other business of Borrower or otherwise bind Lender to the performance of any Obligations with
respect to the Collateral; it being expressly understood that Lender shall not be obligated to
perform, observe or discharge any obligation, responsibility, duty, or liability of Borrower,
including, but not limited to, appearing in or defending any action, expending any money or
incurring any expense in connection therewith. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither this

or instruments executed in connection therewith, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all
of the Obligations thereunder or with respect thereto.



     9.5 Diminution in Value of Collateral. Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility
whatsoever for any diminution or loss in value of the Collateral, specifically including that which

(a) if served in person, when served; (b) if telecopied, on the date of transmission if before

requested on the fourth (4th) day after deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, in a manner that
permits the U.S. Postal Service to track the communication.



     11.2 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Borrower
herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate
delivered by or on behalf of Borrower under or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered
to have been relied upon by Lender and shall survive the delivery to Lender of such Loan Documents
and the extension of the Loan (and each part thereof), regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of Lender.



     11.3 Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN TO THE CONTRARY) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CHOICE
OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. BORROWER CONSENTS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION BEFORE THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY
COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE. BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
TO VENUE IN NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS CREATED HEREUNDER OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND
FURTHER WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE IS NOT A CONVENIENT FORUM FOR ANY SUCH
SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS ON BORROWER IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE EFFECTIVE IF MAILED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS LISTED FOR
BORROWER IN SCHEDULE 1. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT
AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR SUIT RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.



     11.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the
term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part hereof or thereof, and the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall remain in
full force and effect.



     11.5 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signature thereto and hereto
were on the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon Lender’s receipt of one or
more counterparts hereof signed by Borrower and Lender. The parties agree that any copy of this
Agreement or any Loan Documents signed by the parties who are signatories,



12









 







and transmitted by telecopier or otherwise for delivery to Lender, shall be admissible in
evidence as the original itself in any judicial, bankruptcy or administrative proceeding, whether
or not the original is in existence.



     11.6 Lender Not Fiduciary. Lender has no fiduciary relationship with Borrower, and no term or
provision of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between
Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.



     11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits, Schedules, and addenda, and the
other Loan Documents and agreements referred to herein embody the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the Loan, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between
the parties whether written or oral relating to the Loan provided for hereunder, and may not be
contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties;
provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be
inconsistent with the parties’ obligations under the Plan. There are no oral agreements between
Lender and Borrower. This Agreement may be modified or changed only in a writing executed by Lender
and Borrower.



     11.8 Headings. Section headings have been inserted in this Agreement as a matter of
convenience of reference only. Section headings are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be
used in the interpretation of this Agreement.



     11.9 Time. Time is of the essence as to all Obligations of Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement.



     11.10 Incorporation. This Agreement, together with all Exhibits and Schedules hereto,
constitute one document and agreement. Such Exhibits and Schedules are incorporated herein as if
fully set out in this Agreement.



     11.11 Jury Trial Waiver. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY
TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER
INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED
FUTURE DEALINGS. BORROWER AND LENDER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF
REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS
JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.
