	Article 1.        Function	

 The Company will employ the Employee as Chief Financial Officer,
or for any other function corresponding with the Employee’s abilities. 
 The Employee’s main place of work shall be the Company’s head
offices in Auderghem (Brussels). However, the Employee may be required to travel both within Belgium and abroad, perhaps even on a regular basis, depending on the needs of the Company and on the exact tasks which the Employee will be entrusted with
by the Company. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to change the Employee’s place of work unilaterally to any other place within a radius of 50 kilometers from Brussels. The Employee accepts the above.

 Moreover, the Company is entitled to request that the Employee accepts a long-term posting or even a permanent transfer
to the premises of another of the group’s member companies outside the Kingdom of Belgium depending on the needs of the group of which the Company is a member. Any such transfers would necessarily be preceded by negotiations between the parties
concerned on the financial conditions of the transfer in question. 
 Independently of the financial conditions to be agreed upon for the aforementioned
transfer, if the Employee accepts a transfer towards another entity of the group located outside of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Employee will be entitled to the payment of an “International Assignment Bonus”. The lump sum amount of the
bonus will be equal to 80.500,00 € gross. The bonus is due at the time of the effective transfer outside of the Kingdom of Belgium. 
 Article
2.        Duration 
 This employment contract starts on 1 April 2008 and is
concluded for an indefinite duration. 
 This employment contract replaces the previous employment contract concluded between the Employee and American
Standard Europe BVBA, the Company’s legal predecessor, signed on 1 March 2003 and the amendments to the employment contract signed on July 27, 2007. 
 The Company hereby explicitly acknowledges the Employee’s seniority accrued with the Company since 1 March 2003. 
 Article
3.        Compensation 
 The monthly
gross (base) salary of the Employee is fixed at 23.132,18 € (322.000 €/year). The Employee will be entitled to a 13th month and a double

 The Employee will work a minimum of 38,5 hours a week. Having management functions and/or a position of trust in the sense of the Royal Decree of 10 February 1965, the Employee must however perform any additional
work in line with the Employee’s responsibilities. The Employee acknowledges and accepts that such additional work is adequately remunerated and compensated by the remuneration as provided in this employment contract. Therefore, no additional
remuneration, whether overtime pay or other forms of compensation, or any compensatory time off will be due in respect of such additional work performed. 
 The Employee is eligible for the Annual Incentive Plan of the Company of which the potential on-target bonus amounts to 40% of the annual gross base salary, depending on discretionary personal and company performance targets set each year.

 The Company will pay to the Employee a monthly gross housing allowance of 2.480,35 € (annual gross allowance of 29.764,20 €). The monthly gross
amount of the housing allowance will be linked to the fluctuation of the Belgian health index.

 Article
5.        Bonus 
 Any bonuses of any kind (other than the ones mentioned under article 3) that
the Company may voluntarily grant to the Employee shall not be considered as a part of the agreed salary and cannot create a vested right for subsequent years, for the calculation of a termination indemnity or for the calculation of vacation pay.

 Article 6.        Company Car 
 A company car, as provided in the Company’s Car Policy, will be made available to the Employee. The car running costs i.e. gasoline, taxes, insurance and maintenance
will be borne by the Company. 
 The Employee may use the company car also for private use in accordance with the Company’s Car Policy. For the private
use of the car, a taxable benefit in kind is taken into account, based on the private mileage and the fiscal horsepower of the car. The Employee accepts that the taxation of the private use of the company car may change as a result of modifications
in the legal or regulatory framework regarding such private use. 
 The Employee commits himself to use the company vehicle with all necessary care. He will
ensure regular and proper servicing of the car and use it according to the instructions of the manufacturer. 
 The Employee will bear all penal consequences
of offences committed when using the company car. The Company particularly highlights the strict attitude it will adopt in relation to the use of the company vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs or in a state of

cause, without prejudice of the court’s appreciation.

employment contract, the Employee is subject to the provisions of common right related to civil liability.

 The Employee agrees to co-operate with the Company and the firm of tax consultants appointed by the Company for the preparation of his Belgian tax return. The Employee
undertakes to carefully keep supporting documents with respect to the days spent outside Belgium for business purposes, substantiating presence outside Belgium, as well as the business character of those trips. 
 The Company will also provide fiscal support and bear the cost linked to the tax non-resident status and the yearly tax return preparation. 
 Article 8.        Taxation - specific provisions 
 Stock options that have been granted in the past when the Employee was subject to tax equalization (whereby a hypothetical tax was calculated and deducted on the
professional income taking into account the tax rules of the home country being the US), will be treated as follows: 
 Upon exercise, an amount will be
withheld from the exercise gain, being the lesser of: 
  

	 	•	 	 the Belgian income tax paid upon grant (including any tax payable at another moment within the rules of the specific Belgian legislation of March 26, 1999 on
stock options) OR the Belgian income tax payable at exercise (if no taxation should have taken place at grant); AND 

  

	 	•	 	 the hypothetical tax that would have been due under the conditions of the previous tax equalization agreement. 

 With regard to the stock options previously granted, the Employer guarantees that it already paid or if necessary will pay any tax due on these options.

 Article 18.2 International Assignment Bonus 
 In case of termination
of the employment contract by the Company, unless for serious cause, the Company will also pay the Employee the « International Assignment Bonus » as mentioned in article 1 of the present contract. This benefit may be cumulated with the

 Article 19.        Exceptional benefits upon
termination 
 If the employment contract is terminated by the Company without Cause or Serious Cause or if the employment contract is terminated by
the Employee for Serious Cause or Good Reason, and only in either of these cases, the Employee will be entitled to the following benefits: 
  

	 	•	 	 an exceptional premium (hereafter “Exceptional Premium”) payable as a single lump sum cash payment equaling the difference between the granted severance
indemnity and 18 months of the current Employee’s gross monthly base salary increased with the Employee’s potential target in the annual incentive plan and an amount equivalent to 18 months of employer’s premium in the life insurance;
and 

  

	 	•	 	 continued medical insurance for a period of 18 months following termination of the employment contract, subject to earlier cessation if the Employee receives
similar benefits from another employer; and 

  

	 	•	 	 reimbursement for financial planning services up to a total amount of 5.000 USD, as long as such request for reimbursement is submitted within one year of the
termination of employment. 

 If the exceptional benefits are inferior to the severence indemnity granted in accordance with article 18.1,
only the severance indemnity in application of article 18.1 will be due. 
 It is explicitly agreed that the above exceptional benefits will only be payable
to the Employee if the Employee signs a release form for all claims against the Company or affiliated companies within 45 days after the termination of the employment relating to any and all indemnity(ies) or benefit(s) due or payable to the
Employee as a result or in connection with the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company or affiliated companies, with exclusion of the benefits granted above, the International Assignment Bonus mentioned in article 18.2 and any
benefit which would be irrefutably due in accordance with the contract, such as arrears of not challenged cost allowances or a bonus already granted but still to be paid by the Company. In this regard, special reference is amongst others made to the
WABCO Change in Control Plan as also referred to in article 20. 
 For the purpose of this article, Serious Cause refers to article 35 of the Law on
Employment Contracts; Cause and Good Reason will bear the meaning as defined in Appendix 1.

	 	•	 	 Shareholders approve complete dissolution of the Company. 

 Article 21.        Non-compete covenant 
 In as much as, on the one hand, the
Company operates internationally and, on the other hand, the Employee may be employed on works that give him direct or indirect knowledge of proprietary practices of the Company, the use of which, outside the Company, would be harmful to the latter,
the following is explicitly agreed: 
  

	1.	The Employee undertakes, unless the agreement is terminated by the Employee for serious cause on behalf of the Company, and pursuant to the modalities established by collective
agreements in respect of deviations concerning non-competition, not to compete with the Company, directly or indirectly on his own behalf or in the service of a competing employer. 

  

	2.	This obligation: 

  

	 	(1)	relates to similar activities as those which the Employee will have carried out for the benefit of the Company; 

  

	 	(2)	covers Belgium, Germany and the USA; 

  

	 	(3)	is limited to a period of 12 months from the date on which the employment relationship is terminated. 

  

 Page 9 of 11 

	3.	Parties agree that, if a new collective labour agreement were to limit the duration of the obligation, only the latter will apply to this agreement. 

  

	4.	The Company can waive the application of this non-compete covenant up to 15 days after the termination of the employment agreement. If the employment agreement is terminated with
notice, at the moment that the notice is signed, the Employee will be informed whether the Company intends to hold the Employee to the non-competition obligations. 

  

	5.	If the Company does not waive the obligation, it will pay the Employee a one-time, lump sum payment equal to 50% of the gross salary over the period covered by the non-compete
covenant. 

  

	6.	If the Employee violates these provisions, he will be required to repay the above-mentioned payment and a further payment in the same amount as compensation for damages, unless the
cost of the damage suffered and proved by the Company is higher, in which case the higher amount must be repaid.

a 1 (one) year period thereafter, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly induce any employee of the Company or of any of its affiliates to terminate employment with such entity and the Employee shall not directly or indirectly, either

		  	  (mm/dd/yyyy)	  	

 on the earlier of (1) specify date May 28, 2010 (not to exceed two years from the

		  	(mm/dd/yyyy)	  	

 (2) execution of all of the trades or expiration of all of the orders relating to such trades as

Trading Plan in accordance with Section 7(b) or Section 15 hereof. 
  

	3.	Representations and Warranties. Client represents and warrants that as of the date of this Trading Plan: 

  

	 	(a)	Client is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning Issuer or any of its securities (including the Stock) and is entering into this Trading Plan in good faith and
not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1. 

  

	 	(b)	Client is permitted to sell or purchase Stock in accordance with Issuer’s insider trading policies and has obtained the approval of Issuer’s counsel to enter into this
Trading Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	There are no legal, regulatory, contractual or other restrictions applicable to the trades contemplated under this Trading Plan that would interfere with Broker’s ability to
execute trades and effect delivery and settlement of such trades on behalf of Client (collectively, “Client Trading Restrictions”). 

  

	4.	Intent to Comply with Rule 10b5-1 (c). It is Client’s intent that this Trading Plan comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (c), and this Trading Plan shall be
interpreted to comply with such requirements. 

	5.	Rule 144. Section 5 applies if the Client may be deemed an “affiliate” of Issuer, as the term “affiliate” is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. 

  

	 	(a)	Broker agrees to conduct all sales of Stock in accordance with the manner-of-sale requirements of Rule 144. Broker further agrees not to effect any sale of Stock that would exceed
the amount limitation under Rule 144, assuming Broker’s sales of Stock are the only sales subject to such limitation. Client agrees not to take, and to cause any person or entity with which Client would be required to aggregate sales of Stock
pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or (e) of Rule 144 not to take, any action that would cause sales of Stock by Broker not to comply with Rule 144. 

  

	 	(b)	Client agrees to provide Broker with five executed copies of Form 144, which Broker shall complete and file on behalf of Client in the event of sales of Stock under this Trading
Plan. Client understands and agrees that such Form 144 will include the date this Trading Plan was adopted. 

  

	 	(c)	Client shall disclose to Broker all trading plans involving the Stock established by Client at other firms that would be effective at any time during the period this Trading Plan is
in effect and all trading activity involving the Stock that occurs during such period or which occurs within 90 days prior to the commencement of such period. 

  

	 	(d)	Client agrees to notify Broker immediately if there is any change in Client’s employment or affiliate or non-affiliate status. 

  

	6.	Section 13 or Section 16 Filings. Client acknowledges and agrees that Client is responsible for making all filings, if any, required under Section 13 or
Section 16 of the Exchange Act (and the rules and regulations thereunder) with respect to trades pursuant to this Trading Plan. To comply with Section 16 accelerated reporting requirements, Client must complete separately a duly executed
Broker Instruction Letter. 

  

	7.	Market Disruptions and Trading Restrictions. 

  

	 	(a)	Client understands that Broker may not be able to effect a trade, in whole or in part, due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to
Broker or any other event or circumstance. Client also understands that Broker may be unable to effect a trade consistent with ordinary principles of best execution due to insufficient volume of trading, failure of the Stock to reach and sustain a
limit order price, or other market factors in effect on the trade date specified in Appendix A and/or Appendix B. As soon as reasonably practicable after the cessation or termination of any such market disruption, restriction event or circumstance,
Broker shall resume effecting trades in accordance with the express provisions of this Trading Plan which are then applicable. Trades that are not executed as the result of any such market disruption, restriction, event or circumstance shall not be
deemed to be a part of this Trading Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	If Issuer enters into a transaction or if any other event occurs that results, in Issuer’s good faith determination, in the imposition of any Client Trading Restrictions, such
as a stock offering requiring an affiliate lockup, Client and Issuer shall promptly, but in no event later than three days prior to the date of the remaining trade(s) specified in Appendix A and/or Appendix B, provide Broker notice of such
restrictions. With respect to any Client Trading Restrictions for which Client and Issuer have given Broker notice, Broker shall stop effecting trades under this Trading Plan, and this Trading Plan shall thereupon terminate. In such case, Client,
Broker and (for purposes of acknowledgment) Issuer shall cooperate to establish a new trading plan in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c). 

  

	8.	Hedging Transactions. While this Trading Plan is in effect, Client agrees not to enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the
Stock (including, without limitation, with respect to any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Stock, or any option or other right to purchase or sell Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities). 

	9.	Margin Loans. Shares subject to this Trading Plan may not be used to secure margin loans to Client made by Broker. 

  

	10.	Compliance with Laws and Rules. Client understands and agrees that it is the responsibility of Client, and not Broker or Issuer, to determine whether this Trading Plan meets
the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (c) and any other applicable federal or state laws or rules. 

  

	11.	Entire Trading Plan. This Trading Plan constitutes the entire trading plan between Client and Broker and supersedes and replaces any prior instructions under Rule 10b5-1 from
Client to Broker with respect to the sale or purchase of shares from or into the Account, as the case may be. 

  

	12.	Notices and Other Communications. Any notices required or permitted to be given by Issuer and/or Client under this Trading Plan shall be provided in writing by fax, signed by
Client and Issuer and confirmed by telephone (Attn: Restricted Stock Service, Fax: 1-415-667-6646; Tel.: 1-800-239-2506). 

 With respect to any Client Trading Restrictions, Client and Issuer shall provide Broker notice of the anticipated duration of such restrictions, but shall not provide Broker information about the nature of such restrictions or any other
information about such restrictions. Further, in no event shall Client or Issuer, at any time while this Trading Plan is in effect, communicate any material nonpublic information concerning Issuer or its securities (including the Stock) to Broker.
Further, Client shall not at any time attempt to exercise any influence over how, when or whether to effect trades under this Trading Plan. 
  

	13.	Third-Party Beneficiary. Client intends Issuer to be a third-party beneficiary of each and every representation and warranty contained in this Trading Plan to the fullest
extent necessary to enable Issuer to be fully protected from direct or indirect liability in connection with this Trading Plan. 

  

	14.	Governing Law. This Trading Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of, the state of California, as applied to agreements made and wholly
performed in the state of California. 

  

	15.	Amendments and Termination. This Trading Plan may be amended, modified or terminated only by a written instrument signed by Client, acknowledged by Broker and acknowledged by
Issuer (except as provided in Section 7[b] hereof). Client acknowledges and understands that any amendment to, or modification of, this Trading Plan shall be deemed to constitute the creation of a new trading plan. Accordingly, Client shall be
required to restate and reaffirm, as of the date of such amendment or modification, each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of this Trading Plan. 

  

	16.	Counterparts. This Trading Plan may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.
