Corporation, plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation that, as of the effective date of the Plan were subject to awards granted under the Gentherm Incorporated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and that, on or after the
effective date of the Plan, expire or are terminated, surrendered or canceled without the delivery of any shares of Common Stock in the case of options, or are forfeited or reacquired by the Corporation, in accordance with the terms of the 2006
Equity Incentive Plan, in the case of unvested restricted stock awards (in each case, subject to adjustments as provided in this Paragraph 5) (the “Share Limit”).” 

2. Section 18(i) of the Plan is hereby amended by adding the following to the end of such section: 

“Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or in any other agreement, plan, policy or program regarding the compensation

3. The second paragraph of Section 27 is hereby amended deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following: 

“For the purpose of conforming to any changes in applicable law or governmental regulations, or for any other lawful purpose, the Board
shall have the right, without approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, to amend or revise the terms of the Plan at any time; provided however, that no such amendment or revision shall (i) with respect to the Plan, increase the maximum
number of shares in the aggregate which are subject to the Plan or with respect to which Awards may be made to individual Participants (subject in each case, however, to the provisions of Paragraph 5), materially change the class of persons eligible
to be Participants under the Plan, establish additional and different business criteria on which performance goals applicable to performance share awards or performance-based restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards are based, materially
increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, or increase the Outside Director Limit contained in Paragraph 18(i) of the Plan without approval or ratification of the shareholders of the Corporation; or (ii) with respect
to an Award previously granted under the Plan, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, adversely affect the rights grant under any such Award without the consent of the holder thereof.” 

4. This Second Amendment shall be and is hereby incorporated into and forms a part of the Plan. Except as expressly provided herein, all terms and conditions
of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
