Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Objectives of Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program is designed to link executive compensation to corporate performance but relies on a subjective component rather than
being primarily formula-driven. The overall objectives of this strategy are to attract and retain the best possible executive talent, to motivate these executives to achieve goals that support our short-term and long-term business strategy, to
establish a link between executive and stockholder interests and to provide a compensation package based on individual performance and initiative, as well as overall business results, both long- and short-term.

The compensation committee of our board of directors reviews our executive compensation program annually. The review includes a comparison of current
total compensation levels (including base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives) to those provided by similarly situated companies, with data being collected by the committee from public filings and informal surveys. In addition, the
compensation committee also considers the compensation reported for executives by the companies included in a group of comparable automotive companies.

Compensation Process

The compensation committee determines the compensation of the chief executive officer and the
other executive officers of the corporation, reviews the policies and philosophy set for the next level of key executives, evaluates and recommends to the board of directors all long-term incentive plans and grants equity-based awards under these
plans. This process is designed to ensure congruity throughout the executive compensation program. Near the end of each fiscal year, the compensation committee meets to set base salaries for the upcoming fiscal year. At this meeting, the
compensation committee also approves and adopts the management incentive plan for the new fiscal year and determines any grants of stock or other equity-based awards to all of our executive officers and other eligible employees. Typically, the chief
executive officer makes compensation recommendations to the compensation committee for the executive officers who report to him. These officers are not present at the time of these deliberations. Our chairman then makes compensation recommendations
to the compensation committee for the chief executive officer, who is absent from that meeting. The compensation committee may accept or adjust these recommendations. The committee also makes the sole determination of the chairmans
compensation. In addition to the criteria set forth herein, the chairmans compensation is based upon our operating and financial performance, as well as his leadership and establishment and implementation of the strategic direction for the
company.

It is the goal of our compensation committee to establish compensation for our executive officers based on our companys
operating performance relative to comparable companies in related businesses. Compensation for executives is based primarily on the responsibilities of the position and experience of the individual, with reference to the competitive marketplace for
management talent, measured in terms of executive compensation offered by comparable companies. In structuring and setting compensation for fiscal 2007, we performed an independent analysis of comparable companies, with particular focus on certain
of our competitors. In so doing, we reviewed annual reports, proxy statement information or other publicly available data from the following companies:



|                                                                                                                                          |  |

Corporation       Visteon Corporation       TRW

In addition, we reviewed compensation survey results from the Economic Research Institute (ERI) Survey
for metal fabrication companies, both in the Midwest and nationwide. Our compensation committee generally establishes a general base salary and bonus target for each executive officer based on approximately 90% of the median level from information
reviewed. The committee also uses this information to determine the allocation between salary and bonus, along with long term incentive compensation for executives. However, our compensation committee does not rely solely on such percentile analysis
in setting base salaries. Rather, it looks at comparable companies for purposes of making determinations that are primarily subjective.

Elements of
Executive Compensation and How They Relate to Our Objectives

The key elements of our executive compensation program are base
salary, annual bonus, long-term incentives (consisting of our stock, cash-based stock appreciation rights and/or stock options) and perquisites. There is no set policy governing the mix between cash and non-cash compensation. We provide cash
compensation in the form of base salary to meet competitive salary norms and in the form of bonus compensation to reward superior performance against specific short-term goals. The bonus compensation is largely dependent upon Nobles short-term
(annual) financial performance and based upon the achievement of a targeted amount of earnings per share of our common stock. We provide non-cash compensation to reward superior performance against specific objectives and long-term strategic goals.
The compensation committee uses the following factors to determine the amount of salary and other benefits to pay each executive:



| |  |  | Performance against corporate and individual objectives for the previous year;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Performance relative to industry conditions and competitors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Performance with respect to specific strategic initiatives for the previous year, such as acquisitions or dispositions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Difficulty of achieving earnings and strategic goals in the coming year; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Value of their capabilities to support long-term performance of the company.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The committee also examined Nobles pursuit of various long-term growth initiatives in 2007 and the efforts of our executive officers in achieving
this growth. The compensation committee determined that such efforts should be taken into consideration for purposes of awarding performance bonus compensation.

The committee has implemented several changes in the material components of executive compensation in 2008. The compensation committee engaged Mercer, an independent resource consulting firm, to assist in the
determination of appropriate 2008 base salary levels as well as in the design of new annual and long-term incentive programs. The committee determined that the appropriate peer group for benchmarking pay beginning in 2008 consisted of:



|                                                                                                                            |  |                                                                                                                                                   
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|     Shiloh Industries       Hayes Lemmerz
      Worthington
Industries       Olympic Steel       Gentex       Gentek |  |      Standard Motors       Modine Manufacturing       Superior
Industries       Sauer-Danfoss       Stoneridge       Proliance International

This peer group was developed by selecting companies that were identified as business and/or labor
market competitors. Only companies with annual revenues within what Mercer determined to be a reasonable range of our revenues were considered. In addition to this peer group of publicly-traded companies, Mercer utilized compensation data from
published surveys to assist in the determination of appropriate compensation levels for the executive team.

Beginning in 2008, Noble is implementing a new annual incentive program. This program is best
characterized as a profit-sharing program, whereby certain key executives will receive certain bonus compensation in the event that Noble achieves a certain threshold of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA). Specific award opportunities and performance levels are being developed by our board of directors in conjunction with Mercer, and payouts pursuant to this new annual incentive program will be based upon a formula measuring
corporate and/or business unit performance, as appropriate. These details will be included in the proxy statement we will distribute to shareholders in advance of our 2009 annual meeting of shareholders.

In addition to the annual incentive program, Noble granted stock options to approximately 14 officers in early 2008. These options have an exercise price
equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. We expect to continue the periodic granting of stock option as appropriate and consistent with our overall compensation goals and strategy.

Base Salary

Base salaries are the principal
measure in helping us attract and retain talented management team members because it provides these individuals with a degree of financial certainty not representative of our other compensation methods. In establishing base salaries, the committee
reviews the market and comparable company analysis previously described, as well as the experience, seniority and expected contributions of the individual officer. While there is no set formula for determining base salaries, the committee generally
begins its analysis with the base salaries for each executive officer in the prior year, then adjusts as necessary based on these factors.

Base salaries in 2007 for our executive officers were based upon an examination of external market data, compensation surveys provided by our human resource department and internal equity arrangements, as well as their experience,
performance and the nature and scope of their duties within the company. Where appropriate, the compensation committee used base salary from 2006 as a standard for 2007 base salary, with moderate increases for certain officers given our growth and
acquisition activity.

Annual Cash Bonus

Cash bonuses are generally awarded, at the discretion of the compensation committee, to executive officers based in part on the overall financial performance of the company and in part on the performance of the executive officer with
respect to the companys strategic goals. In previous years, our financial performance has been measured by revenue and operating income growth and actual performance against budgeted performance. Historically this has been measured by the
companys earnings per share of our common stock (EPS). Although annual bonuses have depended primarily on the achievement of these performance objectives, the compensation committee may adjust bonus measures and awards based on
other financial or non-financial actions that the compensation committee believes will benefit long-term stockholder value.

For 2007, the
compensation committee determined that the company would not pay bonuses to any executive based on our financial performance because we did not achieve targeted EPS of $1.50. The compensation committee did award cash bonuses to certain executives
(including one named executive officer) for their significant contributions and performance with respect to the companys significant acquisition activity in 2007. In addition, one named executive officer received a stay bonus
relating to his agreement to remain with the Company for a period of time following an acquisition in 2006.

Equity Incentive and Stock Appreciation
Right Programs

We use stock incentive programs to offer long-term incentives to our executive officers and key employees, and also
to support our efforts to retain these officers and employees. We regard these programs as a key



7



---

retention tool. Non-employee directors, consultants and independent contractors also are eligible for awards under some of our equity incentive programs. Our
stock incentive programs include

(1) a stock option plan,

(2) a stock incentive plan that provides for grants of restricted stock and stock awards, including matching awards for open market
purchases, and

(3) a stock appreciation rights plan that gives plan participants the opportunity to realize financial gain
matched to increases in our stock value without the company being required to issue shares.

There is no set formula for the granting of
awards to individual executives or employees. Grants under our stock incentive plan and our stock appreciation plan are subject to such restrictions and vesting conditions as the compensation committee deems appropriate, including, without
limitation, that the participant remain in the continuous employ or service of Noble or a subsidiary for a certain period or that the participant or Noble (or any subsidiary or division) satisfy specified performance goals.

Stock Awards Granted

As a result of the unique
challenges faced by the compensation committee in 2007, including significant growth and changes in the composition of our Board of Directors (and compensation committee), the committee did not grant long-term incentive compensation to any executive
officer.

In June, 2007, we did grant certain officers and other employees (including all of the named executive officers) the right to
receive a match of 50% of shares purchased by such officers and employees from us pursuant to a one time program under our 2001 Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted stock awards were granted under the Noble International, Ltd.
2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). The maximum number of matched shares was determined by dividing Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the maximum amount of stock each participant was eligible to purchase pursuant to the
offer) by the seven (7) day average of the closing price of our common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ, preceding the date of grant (the Fair Market Value). The actual number of matched shares granted for each named executive
officer are set forth in the Table entitled 2007 Grants of Plan-Based Awards set forth below. The matched shares were initially subject to a two-year vesting period, which among other things, requires that the named executive officer
remain employed by us during such time. This restriction was subsequently waived by our compensation committee. According to the awards, in the event of a change in control of Noble (as defined in the Plan), any unvested shares would
immediately vest in the recipient.

Timing of Grants

Generally, stock awards to our executive officers and other key employees are granted annually in conjunction with the review of the individual performance of our executive officers. We did not have any options
available for grant at the time of these reviews for the 2006 fiscal year, so no such awards were made in 2007. However, we did grant restricted shares as part of the 2007 Stock Match Program. The Company believes that stock-based compensation
provides incentives to our executives and aligns their interest with those of our equity holders. The 2007 Stock Match Program allowed our executives to use personal resources to acquire stock in the Company and provide additional capital to the
Company, and receive a match of 50% of the acquired stock in doing so. Executives who participated in the program risked losing the matched portion if they did not continue their employment with the Company through the vesting period, and were
prohibited from selling their purchased shares during the same period.

Perquisites

In support of our goal to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated management members, our executives are entitled to benefits that are not
otherwise available to all of our employees. These perquisites



8



---

include car and gas allowances, reimbursement of country club dues and participation in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan (on the same terms as
all of our highly compensated salaried employees). Our health and insurance plans are the same for all employees. In general, our employees pay 12% of the health premium due.

Retirement

We maintain a 401(k) defined contribution plan to provide all employees with the
opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. In any plan year, we will contribute for each participant a matching contribution equal to 100% of the first $1,200 contributed to the plan by a participant, then 50% of the next $4,600
contributed, up to a maximum matching contribution of $3,500. All eligible executive officers participated in our 401(k) plan during 2007 and received matching contributions.

We sponsor a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows senior executives to defer cash compensation that they would otherwise be paid. The
plan gives eligible employee participants who would otherwise be limited by federal law in the amounts they could contribute to our 401(k) plan the ability to save beyond those limits by providing another savings vehicle. Our non-qualified deferred
compensation plan works together with the qualified 401(k) plan to assist executives in saving for their retirement. See Executive CompensationNon-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for additional information about this plan.

We do not provide pension arrangements, post-retirement health coverage, or similar benefits for our executives or employees.

Compensation on Termination of Employment

Each of our named executive officers has an employment agreement that provides for compensation on termination of employment. We believe that these types of agreements are important for retention purposes. For additional information on
compensation on termination of employment, including after a change of control, death, disability and voluntary termination, see Executive CompensationCompensation on Termination of Employment.

Other

Under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code and regulations adopted by the Internal Revenue Service, publicly-held companies may be precluded from deducting certain compensation in excess of $1.0 million in a year paid to an executive officer required to be named in the summary
compensation table of our proxy statements. The regulations exclude from this limit performance-based compensation and stock options provided certain requirements such as stockholder approval are satisfied. We plan to take actions, as necessary, to
insure that our stock option, stock appreciation rights and executive compensation plans qualify for exclusion, although we also wish to preserve flexibility to offer compensation that meets our business goals even if it is not deductible for
federal income tax purposes.

Compensation of Named Executive Officers

Set forth below is information regarding compensation earned by or paid or awarded to the following executive officers of Noble for the year ended
December 31, 2007, whom we sometimes refer to in this proxy statement as our named executive officers:

(i)
Thomas L. Saeli, our chief executive officer;

(ii) David J. Fallon, our chief financial officer;

(iii) Robert J. Skandalaris, our chairman in 2007;

(iv) Frank J. Sovis, President of our North American Operations;

(v) Michael Azar, our vice president-administration, secretary, and general counsel; and

(vi) Larry Garretson, our former vice president of operations, who would have been a named executive officer but for the
fact that he did not serve as an executive officer on December 31, 2007.

Notes:

|(1) | Shares awarded as a matching contribution in connection with the Company's 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, initially subject to a vesting period expiring two years from the date of
grant in accordance with the terms of such plan.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | Price indicates the closing price of our common stock on June 29, 2007, the date of grant. The grant price per share was $19.98, which represents the 7 day closing price of our
common stock preceding the date of grant. The pricing was determined by our compensation committee prior to the grant date.

In 2007, the Company granted restricted stock awards under the Companys 2001 Stock Incentive Plan to certain executive officers, including certain of the Companys named executive officers. In connection with the restricted stock
awards, each of the named executive officers entered into a Restricted Stock Award Agreement with the Company. Each Restricted Stock Award Agreement, in addition to certain other provisions, provided that the named executive officer receives one
share of common stock (the Matched Shares) for every two

shares of common stock that the named executive officer purchased under the Plan (the Purchased Shares). The actual number of shares of our
common stock received by each named executive officer pursuant to these Restricted Stock Award Agreements are set forth in the table entitled 2007 Grants of Plan-Based Awards in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

The Matched Shares were initially subject to a two-year vesting period, which among other things, required that the named executive officer remain
employed by the Company. In the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Plan), any unvested shares would immediately vest in the recipient. In January, 2008, the compensation committee of the board of directors
waived the vesting requirement, resulting in the issuance of the Matched Shares owing to each executive officer.

During 2007, one
non-employee director received stock awards in the total aggregate amount of 759 shares of common stock pursuant to our 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan. This award was made in the form of a 33% match of purchases of common stock made
by such person on the open market, and is subject to a two-year restriction on trading.

The following table sets forth certain information
with respect to all unexercised options and SAR units held by our named executive officers.

Post-Employment Compensation

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

In 2001, we adopted the Noble International, Ltd. Deferred Compensation Plan (the DCP) for certain key employees, including executive
officers. The DCP generally enabled participants to defer all or a portion of their cash compensation earned in a particular year. If an individual elected to defer any amount, the deferred amounts were not reported as compensation for federal
income tax purposes in the year earned and were credited to the individuals deferred compensation plan account. Our board of directors had discretion to determine those employees eligible to participate under the DCP, with Noble matching 50%
of the first $2,400 in deferred compensation for a maximum annual match of $1,200. Deferred compensation account balances accrued earnings based on the investment options selected by the participant. Interest, dividends and market value changes were
reflected in the individuals deferred compensation plan account. The DCP provided that deferred compensation account balances are to be paid following the termination of the participants employment with us, in a lump sum or over a period
of time not to exceed 15 years as determined by us in our sole discretion. Payments under the DCP were to be made in cash.

---

In December 2006, we amended in its entirety the DCP (as amended, the NQDC plan) to comply
with recent regulatory and legislative activity and to make the DCP more attractive to our highly compensated employees. All deferrals made after December 2006 will be in accordance with the NQDC plan. After giving effect to the amendment, a
committee of the board has discretion to determine those employees eligible to participate, and for 2008 all employees with a base salary of $100,000 have been determined to be eligible to participate. Pursuant to the NQDC plan, Noble will match
100% of the first $1,200 in deferred compensation and 50% of the next $4,600, with an maximum annual match of $3,500. The maximum deferral that may be made in any plan year by a participant cannot not exceed 80% of salary or 100% of an annual bonus.
Our common stock is not an eligible investment option. Accrued earnings, interest, dividends and market value changes are reflected in the individuals deferred compensation plan account in a similar manner as the DCP. We have provided for our
obligations to participants in the NQDC plan through a rabbi trust. The NQDC plan also allows in-service distributions in accordance with elections made by the participant at the time of deferral and otherwise in accordance with applicable laws,
rules and regulations. Distributions under the NQDC plan upon death/disability or retirement may be in lump sum or installments over a period not to exceed 15 years as elected by the participant at the time of designation of deferral. Distributions
made upon termination of employment for any other reasons are made in a lump sum as soon as practical after termination. We do not provide any other non-qualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to non-qualified deferred compensation contributions and earnings during 2007 by each of
our executive officers listed in the summary compensation table.

Other Post-Employment Payments

We have entered into Employment or Severance Agreements with Messrs. Saeli, Fallon, Skandalaris and Azar. The Employment Agreements will give rise to post-employment payments by us as follows:

Thomas L. Saeli: If Mr. Saeli is terminated without cause or leaves voluntarily for good reason, he will receive 12
months of his base salary in effect immediately prior to termination. In the event he leaves voluntarily or involuntarily within six months of a change of control, he will receive two years base salary in effect on the date of termination. Payments
made to Mr. Saeli will be made in accordance with Nobles customary payroll practices, which currently provide for bi-monthly payments. We will also continue to provide health benefits and monthly country club dues for the relevant period
in the event of a change of control, his termination without cause or if he leaves voluntarily for good reason. Mr. Saelis Employment Agreement also requires acceleration of vesting and payment of his Stock Appreciation Rights
(SARs) in the event severance is payable upon a change in control. Upon disability, he will receive 12 months of his monthly base salary in effect on the date of termination, continuation of health benefits and payment of any vested
SARs. If Mr. Saeli resigns without good cause, he will be entitled to receive compensation for unused vacation. Mr. Saelis Employment Agreement requires him, as a condition to receiving payment for termination, to refrain from
defaming or threatening to defame our character and to refrain from disclosing our confidential information.

David J. Fallon:Mr. Fallons Employment Agreement generally provides that, if his employment is terminated without cause, he leaves voluntarily for good reason or upon disability, we will make severance payments to him for 12
months, or at our option in lump-sum payable within 30 days, in an amount equal to his base salary in effect immediately prior to termination. As a condition to receiving termination compensation, he must refrain from directly or indirectly defaming
or impugning our character or the character of our employees and directors. Furthermore, upon termination, the Agreement requires him to reasonably cooperate with us with respect to information and knowledge about us which is uniquely within his
control and knowledge.

Michael C. Azar: If Mr. Azar is terminated without cause, leaves voluntarily for good
reason or upon disability, he will receive payments equal to one year of the highest base salary earned by him during his service with us, which shall not be less than $240,000 payable, over 12 months following termination. As a condition to
receiving termination compensation, he must refrain from directly or indirectly defaming or impugning our character or the character of our employees and directors. Furthermore, upon termination, the agreement requires him to reasonably cooperate
with us with respect to information and knowledge about us which is uniquely within his control and knowledge.

Robert J.
Skandalaris: Mr. Skandalaris Employment Agreement provided that if he were terminated without cause, left voluntarily for good reason, left voluntarily or involuntarily, with or without cause, upon a change of
control or upon disability, he would receive severance equal to three time his highest annual salary during the preceding three years with us (which highest salary could not be deemed to be less that $400,000 per year) plus payment of any earned
incentive bonus, all of which were payable, at our option, over 12 months following termination or in a lump sum payable within 30 days of the termination.

All of the Employment Agreements, with the exception of Mr. Skandalaris, are subject to, unless we provide prior notice, automatic one-year extensions. Mr. Skandalaris Agreement was subject to
automatic three-year extensions. Furthermore, if, prior to our payment of any severance amount to Robert J. Skandalaris or Michael C. Azar, our independent auditors determine that severance payments we make would be subject to the excise tax on
parachute payments imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code or any comparable state or local law, we will gross up, within ten days after such determination, on a after-tax basis, the executives
compensation for all federal, state and local income and excise taxes and any penalties and interest. If our independent auditors have not made a determination regarding the excise taxes on the executives severance payments prior to the time
the executive is required to file a tax return reflecting the severance payments, the executive will be entitled to receive a gross-up payment calculated on the basis of the excise tax reported in the executives tax return. In the
event a tax authority determines that the amount of excise tax imposed on the



15



---

severance payments is greater than the amount determined by our independent auditors or reflected on the executives tax return, the executive will be
entitled to receive the full gross-up from us calculated on the basis of the tax authoritys determination of the amount of excise tax.

The definition of cause in the Employment Agreements of Messrs. Saeli and Fallon includes:



| |  |  | An admission of, or conviction of, fraud, embezzlement or theft against us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A plea of no contest or guilty to, or conviction of, a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Misappropriation of our funds;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | Gross negligence, willful or reckless conduct likely to harm our reputation;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Substance abuse interfering with job performance;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Violations of the duty of loyalty; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | Material breach of any provision of the employment agreement.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

The definition of cause in Messrs. Azar and Skandalaris Employment Agreements means intentional theft, fraud, gross negligence, habitual neglect of duties, or perpetual violation of our policies.

The definition of good reason in the Employment Agreements of Messrs. Azar, Fallon and Skandalaris means, if we have received
written notice of a change in the employees position, removal from office or a change in the duties and responsibilities of the current office such that the duties and responsibilities are such that they do not generally belong to an officer
in a similar position, and have failed to remedy such event within 30 days. The definition of good reason in Mr. Saelis Employment Agreements includes:



| |  |  | A reduction in base salary contrary to the terms of the Employment Agreement or the failure to receive benefits;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A failure to be included in our bonus and incentive programs in effect at the time of signing the Employment Agreement;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A substantial change in the employees duties and responsibilities which are not generally consistent with the duties and responsibilities of an employee in a
similar position; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A relocation of more than 40 miles from the employees current work location.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The definition of change of control in the Employment Agreements of Messrs. Skandalaris and Saeli includes:



| |  |  | A sale or transfer of more than 50% of our ownership interest to an unaffiliated entity;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A merger or similar transaction resulting in our shareholders owning less than 50% of the entity of the surviving corporation;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our failure to assign the agreement to a successor upon a merger;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A resignation of a majority of our board if they resign without recommending successors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our filing of bankruptcy or our agreement to a plan reorganization or our dissolution and liquidation; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A sale or transfer of substantially all of our assets.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

After termination of employment for any reason, all of the Employment Agreements require that the employee refrain from:



| |  |  | competing with us; and
| | - |  | ----------------------



16



---

| |  |  | disclosing or using our confidential information and trade secrets.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------

All of the named executive officers must refrain from disclosing or using our confidential information and trade secrets indefinitely, with the exception of Mr. Saeli, whose post-employment agreement provides for
confidentiality for a term of two years following termination. Mr. Fallon must refrain from competing with us for a period of two years following termination, unless terminated by us for reasons other than for cause, in which case he must not
compete with us for a period of one year. According to the terms of their Employment Agreements, Messrs. Azar and Skandalaris must refrain from competing with us for three years following termination unless terminated by us for reasons other than
for cause, in which case the executive officer must not compete with us for a period of one year. Mr. Saeli must refrain from competing with us for one year following termination unless terminated by us for reasons other than for cause or if he
voluntarily leaves for good reason, in which case Mr. Saeli must not compete with us or become employed by any of our competitors throughout the period he is receiving severance payments from us.

All of the agreements have waiver provisions that allow provisions of the agreements, including breach of the non-competition and confidentiality
provisions, to be waived by a signed written waiver executed by a majority of our board (or in some instances by our chief executive officer) and the employee.

Robert J. Skandalaris: On April 15, 2008, Robert J. Skandalaris resigned as an employee and director of the Company. Mr. Skandalaris departure arose in connection with an Exercise of Sale Option
Agreement entered into between Mr. Skandalaris and ArcelorMittal S.A. As part of his departure, Mr. Skandalaris and the Company entered into a Severance and Release Agreement (Severance Agreement), which incorporated, among
other things certain severance benefits Mr. Skandalaris was entitled under the terms of his amended employment agreement. As part of his Severance Agreement, Mr. Skandalaris will receive his annual base salary for a period of three
(3) years from the date of his departure at a rate of $400,000 per year. In addition, Mr. Skandalaris will receive Company paid health care insurance for a period of three (3) years, as well as the services of a Company compensated
administrative assistant for a period of two (2) years from the date of departure. As part of the Severance Agreement, an entity affiliated with Mr. Skandalaris is entitled to use of approximately 1,200 square feet of office space within
the Companys corporate offices for a period of two (2) years at an annual rate of $1.00 per year. The corporate office space is currently rented by the Company at a rate of approximately $1.83 per square foot per month. Subsequent to
February 1, 2009 and until January 31, 2010, the Companys rental rate will be approximately $1.88 per square foot per month.

Director Compensation

Directors who are employees of Noble receive no compensation, as such, for their service as members of the board. In 2007, directors who were not
employees of the company but who were not deemed to be independent directors under NASDAQ Rules received an annual fee of $40,000, and directors deemed independent under NASDAQ Rules received $65,000, payable in cash or our common stock.
In addition, Van E. Conway, Chairman of our audit committee in 2007, and Larry Wendling, the chairman of our compensation committee in 2007, each earned an additional $10,000 for their service in such capacities. Our non-employee directors may elect
to receive all or a part of their annual director compensation via stock awards under our non-employee director plan. The pricing of the stock for awards in 2007 was the value of the stock on the date of our 2007 annual meeting of shareholders.
Directors who received all or a portion of the fee in stock also received a matching distribution of 33% of the amount of the fee paid in stock, subject to a $15,000 per year limit on stock purchase participation awards. All directors are reimbursed
for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings.

Each director who is not, and has not been during the immediately
preceding 12-month period, an employee of the company or any subsidiary of the company is eligible to participate in our non-employee director plan, provided that the director is not separately compensated by us as a consultant and does not fail to
attend (or otherwise participate in) at least two-thirds of the board meetings. The non-employee director plan provides for the grant of incentive awards consisting of stock grants and stock purchase participation awards. The stock award shares and
stock purchase participation award limit are established by the compensation committee at its first meeting following the annual meeting of stockholders each year. Currently, stock purchase participation awards are limited to a maximum of $15,000
per year.

Stock awards will be subject to such restrictions and conditions to the vesting of awards as the compensation committee deems
appropriate, including, without limitation, that the non-employee director remain in the continuous service of Noble for a certain period. However, no restricted stock award may vest prior to six months from its date of grant other than in
connection with a participants death or disability.

Stock awards will be subject to such restrictions and conditions to the vesting
of awards as the compensation committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, that the non-employee director remain in the continuous service of Noble for a certain period. However, no stock award may vest prior to six months from its
date of grant other than in connection with a participants death or disability.

In 2007, we issued 10,832 shares of our common stock
to directors under this plan. Of these, 10,073 were issued as a portion of (or a matching component related to) directors fees and 759 pursuant to a match made by one non-employee director who purchased shares of the company in the open
market.

THE COMMITTEE ON DIRECTORS AND BOARD GOVERNANCE

The principal function of the committee on directors and board governance are to:



| |  |  | consider and recommend to the board qualified candidates for election as directors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | periodically prepare and submit to the board for adoption the committees selection criteria for directors nominees;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recommend to the board and management a process for new board member orientation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | consider matters of corporate governance and board practices and recommend improvements to the board;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | review periodically our charter and bylaws in light of statutory changes and current best practices;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | review periodically the charter, responsibilities, membership and chairmanship of each committee of the board and recommend appropriate changes;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | review director independence, conflicts of interest, qualifications and conduct and recommend to the board removal of a director when appropriate; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | annually assess the committees performance.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

The committee on directors and board governances charter is posted on our website, www.nobleintl.com, in the investor relations section.

The committee on directors and board governance did not meet in fiscal year 2007. See Nominating Procedures below for further information on
the nominating process.

Nominating Procedures

The board has adopted membership guidelines that outline the desired composition of the board and the criteria to be used in selecting directors. These guidelines provide that the board should be composed of directors with a variety of
experience and backgrounds who have high-level managerial experience in a complex organization and who represent the balanced interests of shareowners as a whole rather than those of special interest groups. Other important factors in board
composition include diversity, age, international background and experience and specialized expertise. A significant majority of the board should be directors who are not our past or present employees or a significant stockholder, customer or
supplier.

In considering candidates for the board, including nominees recommended by security holders, the committee on directors and
board governance considers the entirety of each candidates credentials and does not have any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met. The committee is guided by the composition guidelines set forth above and by the following basic
selection criteria: highest character, integrity and experience.

Corporate Governance

The board of directors has determined that, for 2007, five of our nine directors were independent under the rules of the NASDAQ. The independent directors
were Larry R. Wendling, Van E. Conway, Robert K. Burgess, Ronald E. Harbour and Philippe Landron. In addition, Fred L. Hubacker and Joseph C. Day were independent directors until their departures in August, 2007. In 2007, each of the directors
serving on the audit committee, the compensation committee and the committee on directors and board governance were independent under the standards of the NASDAQ.

Meetings of Non-Employee Directors

The non-employee directors of the board typically meet in executive session without management present either prior to or immediately following each scheduled board meeting, and as otherwise needed. When the
non-employee directors of the board or respective committee meet in executive session without management, and its chairman is unavailable for the executive session, a temporary chair is selected from among the directors to preside at the executive
session.

Charters

We have adopted
charters for our audit, compensation, executive and corporate governance committees. These charters are published on our website: www.nobleintl.com. We will provide, without charge, a copy of the charters to any stockholder upon written
request to our corporate secretary.

Whistleblower Policy

Our whistleblower policy is published on our website: www.nobleintl.com. We will provide, without charge, a copy of the whistleblower policy to any stockholder upon written request to our corporate secretary,
Michael C. Azar. In 2007, we did not receive any complaints under the whistleblower policy relating to any alleged improprieties in accounting or internal controls.

Audit Committee

The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee which
is posted on our website, www.nobleintl.com, in the investor relations section.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

In November 2006, our compensation committee approved stock ownership and retention criteria for our executive officers, effective January 1, 2007.
Under these guidelines, all of our executive officers are required to purchase a minimum amount of our stock, valued at the time of purchase, and to maintain this minimum amount throughout their tenure as an executive officer. Our chief executive
officer is required to purchase and maintain shares equal to two times his base salary, and each other executive officer is required to purchase and maintain shares of our common stock equal to such officers base salary. Our executive officers
must satisfy these minimum requirements within five years from the later to occur of (a) January 1, 2007 or (b) the date upon which such executive officer became an executive officer.

Our directors are also encouraged to purchase and maintain a minimum amount of our stock, and to maintain this minimum amount throughout their tenure as
a director. Specifically, each director is encouraged to own $100,000 in our common stock within five years from the date they first serve as a director.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Our code of ethics requires that all business transactions be at arms length, negotiated in good faith and based on merit alone, and that no employee, officer or board member may have a personal, financial or family interest that
could in any way prevent the individual from acting in the best interest of Noble. Any conflict of interest approval relating to board members or executive officers may only be made after review and approval by the disinterested members of the board
of directors. In 2007, the following transactions were reviewed and approved by our board of directors pursuant to this policy.

Employment of James
Skandalaris

We employ James (Lee) Skandalaris, the son of our former chairman, Robert Skandalaris, as director of corporate
development at an annual salary of $115,000. James Skandalaris was also paid a bonus of $40,000 during 2007. Prior to joining us in 2006, James Skandalaris worked in a similar capacity at Lear Corporation with our chief executive officer (prior to
his joining us). The hiring of James Skandalaris was based on the recommendation of our chief executive officer upon evaluation of James Skandalaris performance at Lear Corporation and was not proposed by our chairman. Our compensation
committee reviewed and approved the salary and bonus paid to James Skandalaris in 2007.

Acquisition of ArcelorMittal laser-welded blank Business and
related agreements.

On August 31, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the tailor laser-welded blank business conducted
by ArcelorMittal S.A. and its affiliates in Europe, India, China and the United States (the ArcelorMittal Business) in exchange for (i) 9.375 million newly-issued shares of the Companys common stock, (ii) cash
payments of $116.3 million, less capitalized lease obligations, accrued taxes and adjustments for working capital at closing and (iii) $15.0 million paid in the form of a 6% subordinated note maturing in 2012 (the ArcelorMittal
Transaction). The newly-issued shares of the Companys common stock were valued at $18.00 per share.

At closing of the
ArcelorMittal Transaction on August 31, 2007, ArcelorMittal transferred (i) to one of the Companys European subsidiaries, all the outstanding ArcelorMittal Business in Europe, China and India, and (ii) to one of the
Companys U.S. subsidiaries, all the outstanding equity interests in ArcelorMittals U.S. subsidiary that operates the U.S. portion of the ArcelorMittal Business. The ArcelorMittal Business the Company acquired does not include two
laser-welded blank production plants owned by ArcelorMittal subsidiaries in Belgium and Germany, but these facilities are subject to a contract manufacturing agreement with the Company.

In connection with the ArcelorMittal Transaction, ArcelorMittal, the Company and, in certain instances, Mr. Skandalaris, the Companys chairman
of the board of directors at the time, entered into a number of additional agreements that addressed corporate governance matters and the rights of ArcelorMittal and Mr. Skandalaris as stockholders.

Stockholder and Governance Matters

Standstill and
Stockholder Agreement

At the closing of the ArcelorMittal Transaction, the Company, ArcelorMittal and Mr. Skandalaris entered into
the Standstill and Stockholder Agreement. Mr. Skandalaris rights under the Standstill and Stockholder Agreement and related agreements terminated in April 2008 in connection with the acquisition by ArcelorMittal of substantially all of
the shares owned by Mr. Skandalaris and his affiliates.



25



---

Pursuant to the Standstill and Stockholder Agreement, Mr. Skandalaris and ArcelorMittal agreed for
two years from the closing of the ArcelorMittal Transaction not to, among other things: (i) acquire any additional shares of the Company; (ii) solicit proxies or become a participant in an election contest without the other partys
permission; and (iii) enter into an arrangement with a third party with respect to voting, acquiring, holding or disposing of any of the Companys securities. In addition, the Company and ArcelorMittal agreed for two years from the closing
of the ArcelorMittal Transaction not to: (i) acquire any additional shares of the other party; (ii) solicit proxies or become a participant in an election contest involving the other party; (iii) enter into an arrangement with a third
party with respect to voting, acquiring, holding or disposing of any of the securities of the other party; (iv) seek to place a representative on the other partys board of directors or seek to call a meeting of stockholders of the other
party; or (v) solicit or assist any person with respect to any business transaction involving the other party.

Under the Standstill
and Stockholder Agreement, if ArcelorMittal sold 1.0 million or more of the shares of common stock in the Company that it owned to a third party, then Mr. Skandalaris had the right to sell his common stock in the Company (at the same price
and on the same terms). Similarly, Mr. Skandalaris had certain put rights to ArcelorMittal following his death, disability or removal from the Companys board of directors or as the chairman thereof, but, if such rights were not exercised
following the expiration of the put term, ArcelorMittal had certain call rights to purchase all of Mr. Skandalaris stock. In addition, if Mr. Skandalaris disagreed with ArcelorMittal regarding a strategic matter for the Company, then
Mr. Skandalaris had the put right to sell all of his shares, together with shares of his affiliates, to ArcelorMittal at a pre-determined price but, if such rights were not exercised following the expiration of the put term, ArcelorMittal had
the right to purchase all of Mr. Skandalaris and affiliates shares. If ArcelorMittal declined to purchase Mr. Skandalaris shares, then the standstill provisions of the Standstill and Stockholder Agreement would terminate,
but the other provisions of the Standstill and Stockholder Agreement, including certain mutual rights of first refusal on sales of shares, would remain in place. Lastly, if Mr. Skandalaris voluntarily resigned from the Companys board of
directors or refused to serve as a director, the restrictions on sales of shares by Mr. Skandalaris during the first two years from the ArcelorMittal closing would no longer apply, except that ArcelorMittal would have a right of first refusal
on any shares that Mr. Skandalaris determined to sell.

Representation on the Companys Board of Directors

Following the closing of the ArcelorMittal Transaction, the Companys board of directors was expanded from seven to nine members. ArcelorMittal and
Mr. Skandalaris nominated four directors and one director, respectively. In addition, each of ArcelorMittal and Mr. Skandalaris were granted certain nomination rights to the audit, compensation and governance committees of the
Companys board of directors. The nomination rights in favor of either party expire if its stock ownership falls below certain pre-determined thresholds. Following the closing of the ArcelorMittal Transaction, and for so long as ArcelorMittal
retained any nomination rights, Mr. Skandalaris agreed to vote his common stock of the Company in favor of ArcelorMittals nominees, and for so long as Mr. Skandalaris retained any nomination rights, ArcelorMittal agreed to vote its
common stock of the Company in favor of Mr. Skandalaris nominee.

Strategic Matters

Following the closing of the ArcelorMittal Transaction, and until the earlier of a change of control or the fifth anniversary thereof, the Company agreed
not to take any action on certain strategic matters without the prior approval of both Mr. Skandalaris and ArcelorMittal.

Non-competition

Following the closing of the ArcelorMittal Transaction, and until the fifth anniversary thereof,
Mr. Skandalaris agreed not to invest in, be employed by, or otherwise engage in a laser-welded blanks business other than the Company.

Registration Rights Agreement

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company granted to ArcelorMittal and Mr. Skandalaris registration rights with respect to the shares of
Common Stock that ArcelorMittal received in the ArcelorMittal Transaction and that Mr. Skandalaris previously owned. These registration rights grant to ArcelorMittal the right to require the company to file up to four registration statements at
ArcelorMittals request.

Commercial Matters

Steel Supply and Services

In conjunction with the ArcelorMittal Transaction, ArcelorMittal Auto, a
subsidiary of ArcelorMittal, and the Company entered into a five-year Steel Supply and Services Agreement. This agreement will automatically renew for additional five-year terms unless either party provides the other party with a written termination
notice at least two years prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term. However, if ArcelorMittal ever owns fewer than 4,687,500 shares of the Companys Common Stock, ArcelorMittal Auto may terminate its supply upon two years
prior notice and may terminate its services upon 18 months prior notice.

Under this agreement, ArcelorMittal Auto supplies all flat-rolled
carbon steel products needed by the Company in its European production facilities. ArcelorMittal Auto has agreed to provide the Company with the most favorable pricing contemporaneously provided by ArcelorMittal Auto, with respect to similar volumes
and on the same terms and conditions, to any European laser-welded-blanks competitor of the Company.

In addition, under the Steel Supply
and Services Agreement ArcelorMittal Auto provides marketing, technical support, sales, credit risk, invoicing, collections, consulting and research and development services to the Company for its European business. ArcelorMittal Auto provides the
sales, credit, invoicing and collection services to the Company at no additional charge. ArcelorMittal Auto further bears the credit risk on all sales of the Companys European products. All research and development plans will be jointly agreed
to by the Company and ArcelorMittal Auto. ArcelorMittal Auto will bear approximately the first 2.0 million of research and development cost each year. The Company will pay any cost in excess of 2.0 million. ArcelorMittal Auto will
grant the Company a license to use the intellectual property that is developed on the same terms as provided in the parties Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement referred to below.

Contract Manufacturing Agreement

In
conjunction with the ArcelorMittal Transaction, ArcelorMittal and the Company entered into a four-year Contract Manufacturing Agreement which may be extended one additional year at the Companys option. Under the terms of the Contract
Manufacturing Agreement, two ArcelorMittal subsidiaries in Belgium and Germany manufacture laser-welded blanks, unwelded blanks (with certain exceptions) and patch-welded blanks solely for two of the locations acquired by the Company in the
ArcelorMittal Transaction. The manufacture of unwelded blanks under the agreement will terminate on December 31, 2008. Under the terms of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement, ArcelorMittal will charge the Company only for costs defined in the
agreement. The pricing terms that ArcelorMittal will provide the Company for steel supply under the Steel Supply and Services Agreement will also apply to the steel provided under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. To induce the Company to
terminate the Contract Manufacturing Agreement early and to free space within ArcelorMittals facilities, ArcelorMittal has granted the Company the option to take ownership of the laser-welding machines used by the two ArcelorMittal
subsidiaries. Upon the Companys removal of such machines, ArcelorMittal will reduce the $15.0 million subordinated note given by the Company to ArcelorMittal by an amount equal to $3.0 million multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
equals the aggregate book value of the machines removed and the denominator of which equals the aggregate book value of all laser-welding machines at the two ArcelorMittal subsidiaries.

Intellectual Property Assignment; Intellectual Property License Agreement

As part of the ArcelorMittal Transaction, ArcelorMittal transferred to one of the Companys European affiliates certain intellectual property used in
the ArcelorMittal Business by an Intellectual Property Assignment, and ArcelorMittal and the Company entered into an Intellectual Property License Agreement. Under the Intellectual Property License Agreement, the intellectual property used in the
ArcelorMittal Business that was not transferred under Intellectual Property Assignment (subject to specific exceptions) is licensed to the Company. Under the Intellectual Property License Agreement, ArcelorMittal granted the Company a royalty free,
perpetual exclusive license to use the specified patents and other intellectual property that were owned by ArcelorMittal and were used in the ArcelorMittal Business. ArcelorMittal retained the right to use these patents and other intellectual
property outside of the field of laser-welded blanks. There are exceptions to the exclusivity of the license for certain uses by vehicle manufacturers and ArcelorMittals joint venture with Gestamp Automoción in Mexico and Spain. The
license will convert from an exclusive license to a non-exclusive license upon the latter of: (a) the fifth anniversary of the closing; or (b) the date ArcelorMittal and its affiliates own fewer than 4,687,500 shares of the Companys
common stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events affecting all Company stockholders equally).

Support
Services for the Business

Under a Transition Services Agreement between the Company and ArcelorMittal, ArcelorMittal provides all
reasonable transition services, as previously furnished to the ArcelorMittal Business, that the Company needs to efficiently manage the ArcelorMittal Business while integrating the laser-welded blank properties and assets into the Companys
business. These services include, among other things, information technology, human resources administration, electrical and other utility service (where legally and contractually permitted), accounting and tax services, purchasing and business
development. The Company has agreed to provide ArcelorMittal all reasonable transition services that ArcelorMittal needs in order to fulfill any contractual or other obligation not transferred to the Company that would, but for the transaction, be
fulfilled by ArcelorMittal using the laser-welded blank properties and assets. The term of the Transition Services Agreement is three years, except for ArcelorMittals provision of information technology-related services, which will be for a
term of four years. Either party may terminate the receipt of any specific service provided to it on at least 90 days notice. The price of ArcelorMittals services to the Company is not to exceed 3.3 million for the first two years
after the closing.

Tailored Blank Business of Powerlasers

The ArcelorMittal Business acquired by the Company in the ArcelorMittal Transaction did not include the tailored blank business conducted by Powerlasers. Powerlasers is owned by Dofasco, Inc., a Canadian steel
producer that ArcelorMittal acquired in February 2006. The stock of Dofasco is held for ArcelorMittals benefit by a Dutch trust, the directors of which previously declined to approve ArcelorMittals request to sell Dofasco to a German
buyer. The directors of the Dutch trust control the decision to sell any Dofasco assets, including Powerlasers. Under the Share Purchase Agreement for the ArcelorMittal Business, the parties agreed that, subject to certain conditions, if and when
ArcelorMittal is permitted to directly or indirectly sell the shares of Powerlasers to the Company, the Company would purchase the Powerlasers shares from ArcelorMittal (or from Dofasco, as the case may be). The Company has received notice from
ArcelorMittal that ArcelorMittal is now permitted to directly or indirectly sell the shares of Powerlasers.

The Share Purchase Agreement
for the ArcelorMittal Business provided that the purchase price for Powerlasers would be $50.0 million, subject to adjustment if the 2006 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of Powerlasers is less than
Cdn $7,750,000. In that case, the purchase price would be $50.0 million less the U.S. dollar equivalent of the product of (1) 6.5 times (ii) the difference between Cdn $7,750,000 and the 2006 EBITDA of Powerlasers. The agreement provided
that the price would be payable in the form of a one-year promissory note bearing interest at the prime rate and subordinated in favor of the Companys senior credit facilities.



28



---

The Share Purchase Agreement for the ArcelorMittal Business provides that ArcelorMittal would represent
and warrant to the Company that: (1) the Powerlasers business, assets and assumed liabilities as of the closing do not include any liabilities other than (i) trade payables (other than transaction costs) and employment liabilities related
to the employees of Powerlasers and (ii) other liabilities against which ArcelorMittal would indemnify the Company; and (2) Powerlasers has sufficient, positive net working capital to continue operation of its business consistent with past
practice.

The agreement for the acquisition of Powerlasers is also required to contain substantially the same representations, warranties
and conditions as the Share Purchase Agreement for the ArcelorMittal Business, except that the Powerlasers agreement would include reasonable adjustments based on the smaller size of the Powerlasers transaction, and would not include a material
adverse change condition, except with respect to any event occurring in 2007 that would have a material adverse effect (other than a reduction in EBITDA) on the Powerlasers business, considered as a whole.

Convertible Loan

On March 19, 2008, the Company
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with ArcelorMittal pursuant to which ArcelorMittal agreed to provide subordinated debt financing to the Company in the form of a convertible subordinated loan in the principal amount of $50 million. The
Convertible Loan transaction closed on March 20, 2008, and the Convertible Loan is evidenced by a Convertible Subordinated Note dated March 20, 2008 that matures on March 20, 2013.

The Convertible Subordinated Note is convertible into shares of the Companys Common Stock, in whole or in part, from time to time until
March 13, 2013. The Convertible Subordinated Note initially is convertible into shares of Common Stock at $15.75 per share, a price equal to a 25% premium over the simple average of each trading days volume-weighted average price
(Average Price) from and including January 15, 2008 to and including February 15, 2008 (the Initial Conversion Price), subject to adjustment as follows. On each of June 30, September 30, and
December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 (each, a Reset Date), the conversion price will adjust to the lower of (i) the conversion price in effect at such Reset Date and (ii) a 30% premium over the Average Price for the
30 days ending on the last trading day immediately preceding such Reset Date (but not below a 30% premium over an Average Price of $8.00, i.e., $10.40 per share); provided that, in the absence of approval by the Companys stockholders, in no
event will the number of shares issuable upon conversion equal or exceed 20% of the Companys outstanding shares on March 20, 2008, the date of disbursement of the loan. Accordingly, partial conversions of the Convertible Subordinated Note
are permitted. The conversion price also is subject to adjustment, from time to time, in certain events, including upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise, or the issuance of shares of Common Stock or options or other
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock at a price per share, or a conversion or exchange price per share, less than the conversion price of the Convertible Subordinated Note then in effect. Upon conversion, the amount
to be converted also will include accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and late charges, if any, with respect to the principal and interest converted.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed: (a) at the next annual meeting of the Companys stockholders, to submit for approval a proposal to allow the issuance of the shares upon
conversion in accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i) and to use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders approval of such issuance and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such
proposal; (b) to avail itself of the controlled company exemption regarding corporate governance requirements under the NASDAQ listing requirements at any time that ArcelorMittals beneficial ownership (including shares held by
ArcelorMittals affiliates) exceeds 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (c) promptly following the designation by ArcelorMittal of nominees to serve on the Companys Board of Directors and board committees (the
Nominees), to use its best efforts to cause the Nominees to be duly elected to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors in accordance with the Standstill and Stockholder Agreement, as amended by the Agreement and Waiver referred to
below.

---

In connection with the closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company, ArcelorMittal and
Mr. Skandalaris also entered into an Agreement and Waiver which waived the applicability to ArcelorMittal of the standstill provisions and other provisions of the Standstill and Stockholders Agreement. The Company, ArcelorMittal and
Mr. Skandalaris also entered into a First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (the Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement), which amended the Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 31, 2007, to provide that the
Convertible Subordinated Note and the shares issuable upon its conversion are included as securities that ArcelorMittal may require the Company to register.

Proposed Subordinated Loan for European Operations

On March 28, 2008, Noble European Holdings B.V. (Noble
BV), a subsidiary of Noble the Company, entered into a Letter Agreement (the Letter Agreement) with BNP Paribas (BNP) and ArcelorMittal with respect to the Facilities Agreement dated as of August 31, 2007 by and
among Noble BV, certain of its subsidiaries named therein and BNP as arranger, agent, security agent and lender (the European Credit Agreement).

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the lenders under the European Credit Agreement agreed to, among other things, (i) waive breaches relating to the failure to timely deliver financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2007, an accompanying compliance certificate and an annual budget for 2008 and (ii) waive certain financial covenants for the period ended December 31, 2007.

The waivers provided by the lenders are subject to several conditions, including, without limitation, (i) that Noble BV provide a prepayment in the
amount of 20,000,000 no later than May 2, 2008, which prepayment must be funded by the proceeds of a subordinated loan provided to Noble BV by ArcelorMittal or one of its affiliates (the Subordinated ArcelorMittal Loan). The
waiver grants by the Letter Agreement will expire and be of no further force or effect if these or any other stated conditions fail to occur. In the event of expiration of the waivers, an Event of Default will occur pursuant to the terms of the
European Credit Agreement.

The Company is in the process of documenting the Subordinated ArcelorMittal Loan, and intends to complete the
transaction no later than May 2, 2008. The Company anticipates that the Subordinated ArcelorMittal Loan will require quarterly payments of interest at the rate of EURIBOR plus 180 basis points, which matches the interest rate under the European
Credit Agreement, and will be payable in full within 10 days after expiration or termination of the European Credit Agreement. The European Credit Agreement is scheduled to terminate on August 31, 2012.

Severance Agreement with Robert Skandalaris

In
April, 2008, we entered into a severance and release agreement with Robert Skandalaris, our former chairman. See Other Post Employment Payments in Item 12 of this report on Form 10-K/A for details of the severance and release
agreement.

Director Independence

The board of directors has determined that, for 2007, five of our nine directors were independent under the rules of the NASDAQ. The independent directors were Larry R. Wendling, Van E. Conway, Robert K. Burgess, Ronald E. Harbour and
Philippe Landron. In addition, Fred L. Hubacker and Joseph C. Day were independent directors until their departures in August, 2007. The other two directors were Robert J. Skandalaris, chairman of the board, and Thomas L. Saeli, our chief executive
officer. Each of the directors serving on the audit committee, the compensation committee and the committee on directors and board governance were independent under the standards of the NASDAQ.
