EXHIBIT 10.1

DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT AND
NOMINATION AGREEMENT

This Director Appointment
and Nomination Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2022 (this “Agreement”), is by and among the persons and entities
listed on Schedule A (collectively, the “Icahn Group”, and each individually a “member” of the Icahn
Group) and Dana Incorporated (the “Company”). In consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:

		1.	Board Representation and Board Matters.

		(a)	The Company and the Icahn Group agree as follows:

		(i)	On or prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take or shall have taken all necessary action
to increase the size of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by two (2) seats to twelve (12), and following
consultation with the Icahn Group, to appoint Brett Icahn and Gary Hu (Messrs. Icahn and Hu, collectively, the “Icahn Designees”
and each an “Icahn Designee”) to fill the resulting vacancies, effective on the date of this Agreement, each with a
term expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2022 Annual Meeting”).

		(ii)	as long as the Icahn Group has not materially breached this Agreement and failed to cure such breach within
five (5) business days of written notice from the Company specifying any such breach, the Company agrees that the Company’s slate
of nominees for election to the Board at the 2022 Annual Meeting will consist of no more than eleven (11) individuals (collectively, the
“2022 Dana Slate”) and will include, subject to their willingness and consent to serve, the Icahn Designees.

		(iii)	the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the election of each of the Icahn Designees at
the 2022 Annual Meeting (including by (x) recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of each of
the Icahn Designees, (y) including each of the Icahn Designees in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2022 Annual
Meeting, and (z) otherwise supporting each of the Icahn Designees for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner
in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate). The Icahn Group agrees not to conduct a proxy contest or engage in
any solicitation of proxies regarding any matter, including the election of directors, with respect to the 2022 Annual Meeting.

		(iv)	that as a condition to the Icahn Designees’ (and any Replacement Designees’) appointment to
the Board and subsequent nomination for election, the Icahn Designees each agree (and the Icahn Group agrees to cause the Icahn Designees
and any Replacement Designees) to provide to the Company, prior to nomination and appointment and on an on-going basis while serving as
a member of the Board, such information and materials as the Company routinely receives from other members of the Board or as is required
to be disclosed in proxy statements under applicable law or as is otherwise reasonably requested by the Company from time-to-time from
all members of the Board in connection with the Company’s legal, regulatory, auditor or stock exchange requirements, including,

     

     

    

		 	but not limited to, a completed D&O
Questionnaire in the form separately provided by the Company to the Icahn Group (the “Nomination Documents”).
	 	 	 
		(v)	that, subject to Section 1(c) below, should any Icahn Designee resign from the Board or be rendered unable
to, or refuse to, be appointed to, or for any other reason fail to serve or is not serving, on the Board (other than as a result of not
being nominated by the Company for election at an annual meeting of stockholders subsequent to the 2022 Annual Meeting, following which
the Icahn Group’s replacement rights pursuant to this Section 1(a)(v) shall terminate with respect to such Icahn Designee),
as long as the Icahn Group has not materially breached this Agreement and failed to cure such breach within five (5) business days of
written notice from the Company specifying any such breach, the Icahn Group shall be entitled to designate, and the Company shall cause
to be added as a member of the Board or as a nominee on the 2022 Dana Slate, as applicable, a replacement that is approved by the Board,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (an “Acceptable Person”) (and if such proposed
designee is not an Acceptable Person, the Icahn Group shall be entitled to continue designating a recommended replacement until such proposed
designee is an Acceptable Person) (a “Replacement Designee”). Any such Replacement Designee who becomes a Board member
in replacement of any Icahn Designee shall be deemed to be an Icahn Designee for all purposes under this Agreement and, as a condition
to being appointed to the Board, shall be required to sign a customary joinder to this Agreement.

		(vi)	for the avoidance of doubt, the Board’s approval of a Replacement Designee pursuant to Section 1(a)(v)
shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if such replacement does not: (A) qualify as “independent” pursuant to the NYSE
Rules (as defined below), (B) have the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of the Company, (C) satisfy the requirements
set forth in the Company Policies (as defined below), in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement or such additional or
amended guidelines and policies approved by the Board that are applicable to all directors of the Company, (collectively clauses (A) through
(C), the “Director Criteria”); provided that (i) no new Director Criteria will be adopted that would have prevented
the Icahn Designees from becoming directors had such criteria been in effect today, and (ii) the Company acknowledges that Brett Icahn
and Gary Hu each satisfy the requirements of Section 1(a)(vi)(B).

		(vii)	that (1) for any annual meeting of stockholders subsequent to the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Company shall
notify the Icahn Group in writing no less than thirty-five (35) calendar days before the advance notice deadline set forth in the Company’s
Bylaws whether the Icahn Designees will be nominated by the Company for election as directors at such annual meeting and, (2) if the Icahn
Designees are to be so nominated, shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the election of the Icahn Designees so nominated by the Company
(including by (x) recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of the Icahn Designees, (y) including
the Icahn Designees in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for such annual meeting and (z) otherwise supporting the Icahn
Designees for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in
the aggregate), and the Icahn Group agrees not to conduct a proxy contest or engage in any

    	 	2	 

     

    

	 	 	solicitation of proxies regarding any
matter, including the election of directors, with respect to any such annual meeting at which the Company has nominated Icahn Designees
and such Icahn Designees have consented to being named, and are named, in the proxy statement relating to such annual meeting.
	 	 	 
		(viii)	that as of the date of this Agreement, the Company represents and warrants that, (y) prior to the Board
appointing the Icahn Designees as directors, the Board is composed of ten (10) directors and that there are no vacancies on the Board,
and (z) immediately after the Board appoints the Icahn Designees as directors, the Board will be composed of twelve (12) directors and
that there will be no vacancies on the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, from and after the date of this Agreement,
so long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board, without the approval of the Icahn Designees who are then members of the Board,
the Board shall not increase the size of the Board above (1) prior to the opening of the polls at the 2022 Annual Meeting, twelve (12)
directors and (2) from and after the opening of the polls at the 2022 Annual Meeting, eleven (11) directors.

		(ix)	that from and after the date of this Agreement, so long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board,
without the approval of the Icahn Designees then on the Board (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned),
(x) the Board shall not form an Executive Committee or any other committee with functions similar to those customarily granted to an Executive
Committee; (y) the Board shall not form any other new committee (other than committees formed with respect to matters for which there
are actual conflicts of interest between the Icahn Designees and the Company) without offering to at least one Icahn Designee the opportunity
to be a member of such committee (provided, however that if such committee has more than five (5) members then both Icahn Designees shall
be offered to be appointed to such committee (to the extent there are two Icahn Designees then on the Board)) and (z) the Board shall
not increase the size of any committee other than to appoint Ernesto M. Hernández and each of the Icahn Designees to such committee.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Board consideration of appointment and employment of named executive officers,
mergers and acquisitions of material assets, or dispositions of material assets, or similar extraordinary transactions, such consideration,
and voting with respect thereto shall take place only at the full Board level or in committees of which one of the Icahn Designees is
a member (for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement changes, amends, or modifies the authority, duties and obligations of
the Compensation Committee of the Board).

		(x)	each of the Icahn Designees confirms that he or she will recuse himself or herself from such portions
of Board or committee meetings, if any, involving actual conflicts between the Company and the Icahn Group. Promptly following the receipt
of the Nomination Documents, the Board shall make a determination as to whether the Icahn Designees, based solely upon the representations
provided by the Icahn Group in Section 7 of this Agreement and the information provided to the Board by the Icahn Designees in the Nomination
Documents, are independent under the Board’s independence guidelines, the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange
(the “NYSE Rules”), and the independence standards applicable to the Company under paragraph (a)(1) of Item 407 of

    	 	3	 

     

    

	 	 	Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
	 	 	 
		(xi)	that, to the extent permitted by law and the Company’s existing insurance coverage, from and after
the time the Icahn Designees are members of the Board, the Icahn Designees shall be covered by the same indemnification and insurance
provisions and coverage as are applicable to the individuals that are currently directors of the Company, and at such time the Icahn Designees
are no longer members of the Board, then the same indemnification and insurance provisions and coverage as are applicable to former directors
of the Company.

		(xii)	concurrently with their appointments to the Board pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) and subject to compliance
with all stock exchange rules, the Board will consider appropriate appointments for the Icahn Designees to applicable Board committees
as they would consider such appointments for other Board candidates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that for
so long as the Icahn Designees are members of the Board, the Icahn Designees shall have the same rights as any other director with respect
to being permitted to attend (as an observer and without voting rights) any committee meeting regardless of whether such director is a
member of such committee, except in cases where privileged matters will be discussed or reviewed (unless the Icahn Designees commit, in
writing, on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company, not to share information relating to such matters with the Icahn Group, including
its Affiliates, Associates and representatives), where the matters under consideration involve an actual conflict of interest between
the Company and the Icahn Group or its Affiliates or Associates, or where, upon advice of outside counsel to the Company, the Icahn Designees
attendance would jeopardize any legal privilege.

		(b)	At all times from the date of this Agreement through the termination of their service as a member of the
Board, each of the Icahn Designees shall comply with all written policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines
applicable to all non-employee Board members and of which the Icahn Designees have been provided written copies in advance (or which have
been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or posted on the Company’s website), including
the Company’s code of business conduct, Standards of Conduct for Members of the Board of Directors Policy, Corporate Governance
Guidelines, Regulation FD Policy, corporate policies on ethical business conduct, political contributions, lobbying and other political
activities policy, conflicts of interest policy, global privacy policy, related party transaction policy, insider trading policy, anti-hedging
policy and governance policies (collectively, the “Company Policies”), and shall preserve the confidentiality of Company
business and information, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees (except to the extent
permitted in the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below) to be entered into pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement). In addition,
each of the Icahn Designees is aware of and shall act in accordance with his or her fiduciary duties with respect to the Company and its
stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that notwithstanding the terms of any Company Policies, in no event shall
any Company Policy apply to the Icahn Group, other than the Icahn Designees in their capacity as members of the Board.

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

		(c)	Any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time after the date of this
Agreement, the Icahn Group, together with any Icahn Affiliates (as defined below), ceases collectively to beneficially own (for all purposes
in this Agreement, the terms “beneficially own” and “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning ascribed to
such terms as defined in Rule 13d-3 (as in effect from time to time) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act), an aggregate Net
Long Position (x) in at least 8,654,048 of the total outstanding common shares, no par value, of the Company (“Common Shares”)
(as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and similar type events), (1) one of the Icahn Designees
(or, if applicable, his or her Replacement Designee) shall, and the Icahn Group shall cause such Icahn Designee to, promptly tender his
or her resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board on which he or she then sits and (2) the Icahn Group shall not have the
right to replace such Icahn Designee; or (y) in at least 4,327,024 of the total outstanding Common Shares (as adjusted for any stock dividends,
combinations, splits, recapitalizations and similar type events), (1) each of the Icahn Designees (or, if applicable, his or her Replacement
Designee) shall, and the Icahn Group shall cause such Icahn Designee to, promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board and any
committee of the Board on which he or she then sits and (2) the Icahn Group shall not have the right to replace such Icahn Designee(s).
	 	 	 
	 	 	The Icahn Group, upon
request, shall keep the Company regularly apprised of the Net Long Position of the Icahn Group and the Icahn Affiliates to the extent
that such position differs from the ownership positions publicly reported on the Icahn Group’s Schedule 13D and amendments thereto.

For purposes of this
Agreement: the term “Net Long Position” shall mean: such Common Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, that constitute
such person’s net long position as defined in Rule 14e-4 under the Exchange Act mutatis mutandis, provided that “Net
Long Position” shall not include any shares as to which such person does not have the right to vote or direct the vote, or as to
which such person has entered into a derivative or other agreement, arrangement or understanding that hedges or transfers, in whole or
in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such shares; and the terms “person” or “persons”
shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability or unlimited liability
company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity of any kind or nature.

Each of the Icahn Designees
shall, prior to his or her appointment to the Board (including any Replacement Designee), and each member of the Icahn Group shall cause
each of the Icahn Designees (including any Replacement Designee) to, execute an irrevocable resignation in the form attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit A.

	 	 	 
		(d)	So long as the Icahn Group, together with the Icahn Affiliates, beneficially owns an aggregate Net Long
Position in at least 7,211,705 of the total outstanding Common Shares (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations
or similar type events), the Company shall not adopt a Rights Plan with an “Acquiring Person” beneficial ownership threshold
below 20.0% of the then-outstanding Common Shares, unless (x) such Rights Plan provides that, if such Rights Plan is not ratified by the
Company’s stockholders within 270 days of such Rights Plan being adopted, such Rights Plan shall automatically expire and (y) the
“Acquiring Person” definition of such Rights Plan exempts the Icahn Group up to a beneficial ownership of 19.95% of the

    	 	5	 

     

    

	 	 	then-outstanding Common Shares. The
term “Rights Plan” shall mean any plan or arrangement of the sort commonly referred to as a “rights plan”
or “stockholder rights plan” or “shareholder rights plan” or “poison pill” that is designed to increase
the cost to a potential acquirer of exceeding the applicable ownership thresholds through the issuance of new rights, common stock or
preferred shares (or any other security or device that may be issued to stockholders of the Company, other than ratably to all stockholders
of the Company) that carry severe redemption provisions, favorable purchase provisions or otherwise, and any related rights agreement.

		2.	Additional Agreements.

such breach within five (5) business days following the receipt of written notice from the Icahn Group specifying any such breach, that

party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Agreement exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware.

	 	 	adequate remedy at law. Furthermore,

any such court, (iii) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery or the other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, and each of the
parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (iv) agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law, in the case
any other party seeks to enforce the terms by way of equitable relief, and (v) irrevocably consents to service of process by a reputable

OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE
OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.
	 	 	 
		10.	No Waiver. Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate
as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The
failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver
or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
	 	 	 
		11.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto.

MAUMEE,
Ohio, Jan. 7, 2022 – Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Icahn Capital, whereby

“Dana

engagement as we continue to execute our strategic plan,” said James Kamsickas, Dana chairman and CEO. “Our ongoing board
refreshment reflects a commitment to best-in-class corporate governance, and this agreement brings a direct shareholder perspective to
the boardroom to support our long-term goal of sustainable value creation. We look forward to working with Brett and Gary to advance
our efforts.”

the company to capture significant market opportunities ahead, especially with respect to electrification in mobility.”

 

With
these appointments and the previously announced addition of Ernesto M. Hernández, the board will temporarily expand to 12 directors.
Following the retirement of Raymond E. Mabus, Jr. at the 2022 Annual Meeting, consistent with the company’s director retirement
policy, the board will be composed of 11 directors, 10 of whom are independent.

 

In
connection with today’s announcement, Icahn Capital and its affiliates, which collectively own approximately 9.9 percent of Dana’s
outstanding stock, have agreed to support the company's slate of director nominees, which will include Hu and Icahn, at Dana’s
2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Icahn Capital has also agreed to other customary standstill provisions.

 

The
Director Appointment and Nomination Agreement between the Company and Icahn Capital is an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report
on Form 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

DANA INCORPORATED

January 7, 2022

To: Each of the persons or entities listed on Schedule A (the “Icahn
Group” or “you”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement shall
become effective upon the appointment of any Icahn Designee to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dana Incorporated
(the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms
in the Director Appointment and Nomination Agreement (the “Nomination Agreement”), dated as of January 7, 2022, among
the Company and the Icahn Group. The Company understands and agrees that, subject to the terms of, and in accordance with, this letter
agreement, an Icahn Designee may, if and to the extent he or she desires to do so, disclose non-privileged information he or she obtains
while serving as a member of the Board to you and your Representatives (as hereinafter defined), and may discuss such information with
any and all such persons, subject to the terms and conditions of this letter agreement, and that other members of the Board may similarly
disclose information to you if they wish to do so, subject to the Company Policies. As a result, you may receive certain non-public information
regarding the Company. You acknowledge that this information is proprietary to the Company and may include trade secrets or other business
information the disclosure of which could harm the Company. In consideration for, and as a condition of, the information being furnished
to you and your agents, affiliates, representatives, attorneys, advisors, directors, officers or employees, subject to the restrictions
in paragraph 2 (collectively, the “Representatives”), you agree to treat any and all information concerning or relating
to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or current or former affiliates that is furnished to you or your Representatives (regardless
of the manner in which it is furnished, including in written or electronic format or orally, gathered by visual inspection or otherwise)
by any Icahn Designee, or by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Representative (as defined below), including discussions or matters
considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees, together with any notes, analyses, reports, models, compilations, studies, interpretations,
documents, records or extracts thereof containing, referring, relating to, based upon or derived from such information, in whole or in
part (collectively, “Evaluation Material”), in accordance with the provisions of this letter agreement, and to take
or abstain from taking the other actions hereinafter set forth..

		1.	The term “Evaluation Material” does not include information that (i) is or has become generally
available to the public other than as a result of a direct or indirect disclosure by you or your Representatives in violation of this
letter agreement or any other obligation of confidentiality, (ii) was within your or any of your Representatives’ possession on
a non-confidential basis prior to its being furnished to you by any Icahn Designee, or by or on behalf of the Company or its agents, representatives,
attorneys, advisors, directors (other than the Icahn Designees), officers or employees (collectively, the “Company Representatives”),
or (iii) is received from a source other than any Icahn Designee, the Company or any of the Company Representatives; provided, that
in the case of (ii) or (iii) above, the source of such information was not believed by you, after reasonable inquiry, to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other person
with respect to such information at the time the information was disclosed to you.

    	 	C-2	 

     

    

		2.	You and your Representatives will, and you will cause your Representatives to, (a) keep the Evaluation
Material strictly confidential and (b) not disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever without the prior written
consent of the Company; provided, however, that you may privately disclose any of such information: (A) to your Representatives
(i) who need to know such information for the purpose of advising you on your investment in the Company and (ii) who are informed by you
of the confidential nature of such information and agree to be bound by the terms of this letter agreement as if they were a party hereto;
provided, further, that you will be responsible for any violation of this letter agreement by your Representatives as if they were
parties to this letter agreement; and (B) to the Company and the Company Representatives. It is understood and agreed that no Icahn Designee
(including any Replacement Designee) shall disclose to you or your Representatives any Legal Advice (as defined below) that may be included
in the Evaluation Material with respect to which such disclosure would constitute waiver of the Company’s attorney client privilege
or attorney work product privilege. “Legal Advice” as used in this letter agreement shall be solely and exclusively
limited to the advice provided by legal counsel and any discussions, deliberations or materials concerning such advice or which would
otherwise be subject to legal privileges and protections and shall not include factual information or the formulation or analysis of business
strategy solely to the extent that it is not protected by the attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege.

		3.	In the event that you or any of your Representatives are required by applicable subpoena, legal process
or other legal requirement to disclose any of the Evaluation Material, you will (a) promptly notify (except where such notice would be
legally prohibited) the Company in writing by email, facsimile and certified mail so that the Company may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy (and if the Company seeks such an order, you will provide such cooperation as the Company shall reasonably request),
at its cost and expense and (b) produce or disclose only that portion of the Evaluation Material which your outside legal counsel of national
standing advises you in writing is legally required to be so produced or disclosed and you inform the recipient of such Evaluation Material
of the existence of this letter agreement and the confidential nature of such Evaluation Material. In no event will you or any of your
Representatives oppose action by the Company to obtain a protective order or other relief to prevent the disclosure of the Evaluation
Material or to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Evaluation Material. For the avoidance of doubt,
it is understood that there shall be no “legal requirement” requiring you to disclose any Evaluation Material solely by virtue
of the fact that, absent such disclosure, you would be prohibited from purchasing, selling, or engaging in derivative or other voluntary
transactions with respect to the Common Shares of the Company or otherwise proposing or making an offer to do any of the foregoing, or
you would be unable to file any proxy or other solicitation materials in compliance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act or the rules
promulgated thereunder.

		4.	You acknowledge that (a) none of the Company or any of the Company Representatives makes any representation
or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any Evaluation Material, and (b) none of the Company or any of
the Company Representatives shall have any liability to you or to any of your Representatives relating to or resulting from the use of
the Evaluation Material or any errors therein or omissions therefrom. You and your Representatives (or anyone acting on your or their
behalf) shall not directly or indirectly initiate contact or communication with any executive or employee of the Company other than the
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, or such other persons approved in writing by
the foregoing or the Board concerning Evaluation Material, or to seek any information in connection therewith from any such person other
than the foregoing, without the prior consent of the Company; provided, however, the restriction in this

    	 	C-3	 

     

    

			sentence shall not in any way apply to
any Icahn Designee acting in his or her capacity as a Board member (nor shall it apply to any other Board members).

		5.	All Evaluation Material shall remain the property of the Company. Neither you nor any of your Representatives
shall by virtue of any disclosure of or your use of any Evaluation Material acquire any rights with respect thereto, all of which rights
(including all intellectual property rights) shall remain exclusively with the Company. At any time after the date on which no Icahn Designee

Material in your or any of your Representatives’ possession or control (and, upon the request of the Company, shall promptly certify
to the Company that such Evaluation Material has been erased or deleted, as the case may be). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation

or other backup storage devices as long as such backed-up information is not used, disclosed, or otherwise recovered from such backup
devices or (ii) retained on a confidential basis solely to the extent required to comply with applicable law and/or any internal record
retention requirements; provided that such materials referenced in this sentence shall remain subject to the terms of this letter agreement
applicable to Evaluation Material, and you and your Representatives will continue to be bound by the obligations contained herein for
as long as any such materials are retained by you or your Representatives.

		6.	You acknowledge, and will advise your Representatives, that the Evaluation Material may constitute material
non-public information under applicable federal or state securities laws, and you agree that you shall not, and you shall use reasonable
best efforts to ensure that your Representatives do not, trade or engage in any derivative or other transaction in the Company Shares
or any of the Company’s other securities on the basis of such information in violation of such laws.

		7.	You hereby represent and warrant to the Company that (i) you have all requisite company power and authority
to execute and deliver this letter agreement and to perform your obligations hereunder, (ii) this letter agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by you, and is a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against you in accordance with its terms, (iii) this
letter agreement will not result in a violation of any terms or conditions of any agreements to which you are a party or by which you
may otherwise be bound or of any law, rule, license, regulation, judgment, order or decree governing or affecting you, and (iv) your entry
into this letter agreement does not require approval by any owners or holders of any equity or other interest in you (except as has already
been obtained).

		8.	Any waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this letter agreement shall not operate as or
be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this letter agreement. The
failure of the Company to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this letter agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered
a waiver or deprive the Company of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this letter
agreement.

		9.	You acknowledge and agree that the value of the Evaluation Material to the Company is unique and substantial,
but may be impractical or difficult to assess in monetary terms. You further acknowledge and agree that in the event of an actual or threatened
violation of this letter agreement, immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate
remedy. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that, in addition to

or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware. In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions
of this letter agreement, you shall not allege, and you hereby waive the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

		10.	Each of the parties (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of
Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this letter agreement or the
transactions contemplated by this letter agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction
by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this letter agreement
or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery or other federal or state
courts of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (d) agrees to waive any bonding
requirement under any applicable law, in the case any other party seeks to enforce the terms by way of equitable relief, and (e) irrevocably
consents to service of process by a reputable overnight delivery service, signature requested, to the address of such party’s principal
place of business or as otherwise provided by applicable law. THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING VALIDITY,
INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH

or oral. This letter agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto.

		12.	All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and other communications provided for in this

Re: Offer of Employment

 

 

Dear Carlton:

 

This letter confirms the terms and conditions upon which AutoWeb, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”) is offering employment to you. Note that this offer of employment and your employment by the Company is contingent upon (i) approval of the terms of this offer and your appointment as an officer of the Company by the Company’s board of directors and (ii) various conditions and requirements that must be completed prior to commencement of employment, which conditions and requirements are set forth below.

 

1.         Employment.

 

(a)         Effective as of the date you commence employment with the Company (“Commencement Date”), which date is anticipated at this time to be January 10, 2022, the Company will employ you in the capacity set forth on the Exhibit A attached hereto (“Offer Letter Schedule”). In such capacity, you will report to such person or persons as may be designated by the Company from time to time.

 

(b)         Your employment is at will and not for a specified term and may be terminated by the Company or you at any time, with or without cause or good reason and with or without prior, advance notice. This “at-will” employment status will remain in effect throughout the term of your employment by the Company and cannot be modified except by a written amendment to this offer letter that is executed by both parties (which in the case of the Company, must be executed by the Company’s Chief People Officer) and that expressly negates the “at-will” employment status.

 

2.         Compensation, Benefits and Expenses. As compensation for the services to be rendered by you pursuant to this agreement, you will receive the payments and be entitled to participate in the benefits set forth below, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below or in such payment or benefit plans or arrangements. If at any time a conflict between anything in this letter and the applicable benefit plan arises, the terms of the benefit plan controls. Your compensation and benefits shall be paid or made available in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll and other practices and policies of the Company.

 

(a)         The Company hereby agrees to pay you a base salary as set forth on the Offer Letter Schedule.

(b)          You shall be eligible to participate in annual incentive compensation plans, if any, that may be adopted by the Company from time to time and that are (i) afforded generally to persons employed by the Company at your employment level and position, geographic location and applicable department or operations within the Company (subject to the terms and conditions of any such annual incentive compensation plans); or (ii) that are developed and adopted specifically for you. Should such an annual incentive compensation plan be adopted for any annual period, your target annual incentive compensation opportunity will be as established by the Company for each annual period, which may be up to a percentage set forth on the Offer Letter Schedule of your annualized rate (i.e., 24 X Semi-Monthly Rate) based on achievement of objectives specified by the Company each annual incentive compensation period (which may include Company-wide performance objectives; divisional, department or operations performance objectives and/or individual performance objectives, allocated between and among such performance objectives as the Company may determine) and subject to adjustment by the Company based on the Company’s evaluation and review of your overall individual job performance in the sole discretion of the Company. Specific annual incentive compensation plan details, target incentive compensation opportunity and objectives for each annual compensation plan period will be established each year. Awards under annual incentive plans may be prorated by the Company in its discretion for a variety of factors, including time employed by the Company during the year, adjustments in base compensation or target award percentage changes during the year, and unpaid time off. You understand that the Company’s annual incentive compensation plans, their structure and components, specific target incentive compensation opportunities and objectives, the achievement of objectives and the determination of actual awards and payouts, if any, thereunder are subject to the sole discretion of the Company. Awards, if any, under any annual incentive compensation plan shall only be earned by you, and payable to you, if you remain actively employed by the Company through the date on which award payouts are made by the Company under the applicable annual incentive compensation plan. You will not earn any such award if your employment ends for any reason prior to that date.

 

(c)         You shall be entitled to participate in such ordinary and customary benefits plans afforded generally to persons employed by the Company at your employment position and level and geographic location (subject to the terms and conditions of such benefit plans, your enrollment in the plans and making of any required employee contributions required for your participation in such benefits, your ability to qualify for and satisfy the requirements of such benefits plans). Upon commencement of employment with the Company, you will begin accruing vacation under the Company’s vacation accrual policy at the rate set forth on the Offer Letter Schedule. Accrual of vacation is subject to a limitation on accrual as set forth in the Company’s vacation accrual policy

 

(d)         You are solely responsible for the payment of any tax liability that may result from any compensation, payments or benefits that you receive from the Company. The Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold from the compensation due to you hereunder any and all sums required by applicable federal, state, local or other laws, rules or regulations, including, without limitation federal and state income taxes, social security or FICA taxes, and state unemployment taxes, now applicable or that may be enacted and become applicable during your employment by the Company.

 

(e)         Upon termination of your employment by either party, whether with or without cause, you will be entitled to receive only that portion of your compensation, benefits, reimbursable expenses and other payments and benefits required by applicable law or by the Company’s compensation or benefit plans, policies or agreements in which you participate and pursuant to which you are entitled to receive the compensation or benefits thereunder under the circumstances of and at the time of such termination (subject to and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans, policies or agreements).
