ARTICLE II

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

     2.1. Purpose. This Plan as adopted effective September 1, 1988, is hereby amended
effective January 1, 1998 and is intended to continue the excess benefits plan of the Company that
had previously been set forth in a Resolution of the Board dated June 9, 1975.

     This Plan is amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005 in order to comply with the
requirements imposed on deferred compensation plans by Section 409A of the Code, as added by the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. However, the new restrictions set forth in Section 4.9 below
in order to comply with Code Section 409A shall not be applicable to any Grandfathered Benefit
accrued under this Plan by December 31, 2004, and such Section 4.9 shall not be applicable to any
Employee whose entire benefit under this Plan consists of a Grandfathered Benefit. By amending and
restating this Plan, the Company does not intend to assume this Plan for purposes of Section 365
of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 USC Section 365.

ARTICLE III

ELIGIBILITY

     3.1. Eligibility. All Employees and beneficiaries of Employees eligible to receive
retirement benefits from a funded, defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Company shall be
eligible to receive benefits under this Plan in accordance with Article IV, regardless of when the
Employee may have terminated employment or retired (except as otherwise specified by Article IV).

ARTICLE IV

BENEFITS

     4.1. Basic Benefit.

     (a) An Employee who, on or after September 1, 1988, terminates active employment or
retires from active employment with the Company shall be entitled to receive a lump sum
payment equal to the excess (if any) of:

     (i) the total of the lump sum benefits that the Employee would have received
from all Company-sponsored, funded, defined benefit pension plans in which he was a
participant, determined without regard to the limitations on such benefits imposed
by such plans in order to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 401(a)(17)
and Section 415 of the Code and, in the case of an Employee who is actively employed
by the Company on or after September 1, 1988, and solely for purposes of the
benefits payable from the Retirement Plan (but not for purposes of any benefits
payable pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 14 of Part I of Appendix E of
the Retirement Plan), determined without regard to the provisions of the Retirement
Plan that exclude Deferred Awards under the Dana Corporation Additional Compensation
Plan from the definition of earnings under the Retirement Plan, and determined,
except as provided in Section 4.1(e) hereof, on the basis of the

5

 

Mortality Table and the interest rate equal to the average annual yield on
30-year Treasury securities at constant maturity published in the Federal Reserve
Statistical Release effective for the November preceding the beginning of the
calendar year in which the first benefit payment is to be made, over

     (ii) the total of the lump sum benefits that he is entitled to receive from
such Company-sponsored, funded, defined benefit pension plans, determined on the
basis of the assumption that the Employee’s benefits under such plans are paid in
the form of a lump sum benefit, payable as of the Employee’s date of retirement
under the Pension Plan and determined, except as provided in Section 4.1(e) hereof,
on the basis of the Mortality Table and the interest rate equal to the average
annual yield on 30-year Treasury securities at constant maturity published in the
Federal Reserve Statistical Release effective for the November preceding the
beginning of the calendar year in which the first benefit payment is to be made.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof, and, if applicable, Section 4.9(b)
hereof, the benefit payable pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.1, shall be paid in
the form of a lump sum payment, payable as of the Employee’s date of retirement under the
Pension Plan or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably practical (but in no event later
than the end of the calendar year which includes the Employee’s date of retirement, or, if
later, the fifteenth day of the third calendar month after such date of retirement).

     (c) If an Employee eligible for a benefit under the Plan dies before the date as of
which such benefit is scheduled to be paid hereunder, a lump sum benefit shall be paid to
the Employee’s surviving spouse (if any), as of the earliest month (if any) in which the
spouse’s benefits could commence under the Pension Plan or as soon thereafter as may be
reasonably practical (but in no event later than the end of the calendar year which such
month, or, if later, the fifteenth day of the third calendar month after the Employee’s date
of death). The amount of such benefit shall be a lump sum payment equal to the excess (if
any) of:

     (i) the total of the lump sum benefits that the spouse would have received from
all Company-sponsored, funded, defined benefit pension plans in which the Employee
was a participant but for the limitations on benefits imposed by such plans in order
to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 401(a)(17) and Section 415 of the
Code and, in the case of an Employee who is actively employed by the Company on or
after September 1, 1988, and solely for purposes of the benefits payable from the
Retirement Plan (but not for purposes of any benefits payable pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 14 of Part I of Appendix E of the Retirement Plan), determined
without regard to the provisions of the Retirement Plan that exclude Deferred Awards
under the Dana Corporation Additional Compensation Plan from the definition of
earnings under the Retirement Plan, and determined on the basis of the Mortality
Table and the interest rate equal to the average annual yield on 30-year Treasury
securities at constant maturity published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release
effective for the November preceding the beginning of the calendar year in which the
first benefit payment is to be made, over

6

 

     (ii) the total of the lump sum benefits that the spouse is entitled to receive
from such Company-sponsored, funded, defined benefit pension plans, determined on
the basis of the assumption that the spouse’s benefits under such plans are paid in
the form of a lump sum benefit and determined on the basis of the Mortality Table
and the interest rate equal to the average annual yield on 30-year Treasury
securities at constant maturity published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release
effective for the November preceding the beginning of the calendar year in which the
first benefit payment is to be made.

     (d) No death benefits shall be paid hereunder with respect to an active Employee who is
not married on the date of his death.

     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, if an active Employee
retires and receives a benefit under any of the following plan provisions:

     (i) Section 3.04 of the Retirement Plan;

     (ii) Section 3.04D of the Dana Corporation Retirement Income Plan, as amended
by the Second Amendment to that Plan;

     (iii) Section 3.6D of the Dana Corporation Spicer Axle Salaried Pension Plan,
as amended by the First Amendment to that Plan;

     (iv) Section 5.1c.v. of the Retirement Plan for Management Employees of Racine
Hydraulics Division-Dana Corporation, as amended by the First Amendment to that
Plan;

     (v) Section 4.6.5 of the Dana Corporation Weatherhead Division Pension Plan for
Salaried Employees, as amended by the First Amendment to that Plan;

     (vi) Section 4.7.1 of the Dana Corporation Gresen Manufacturing Division
Management Pension Plan, as amended by the First Amendment to that Plan; or

     (vii) Option E of Section 6.4 of the Tyrone Salaried Pension Plan, as amended
by the First Amendment to that Plan,

then the benefits described in Section 4.1(a)(i) and (ii), in respect of the above-described
plan benefits, shall be determined on the basis of the mortality rates, interest assumptions
and other factors that would be applicable to the form of payment selected by the Employee
under such other plan.

     (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, benefits under this
Plan shall only be based on that portion of an Employee’s 1994 and subsequent years’

7

 

Additional Compensation Plan bonus awards (whether or not deferred) as do not exceed
125% of the base salary paid to the Employee by the Company for the applicable year.

     (g) If an Employee is eligible to receive benefits under another nonqualified deferred
compensation plan with respect to any period of service, and the other plan replaces
benefits that are limited by the application of Section 401(a)(17) or Section 415 of the
Code to a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the Employee’s benefits under this Plan shall
be reduced by the benefits received under such other nonqualified plan with respect to the
same period of service.

     (h) Effective on and after June 30, 2007, the benefit payable to the Employee under
Subsection 4.1(a) and the death benefit payable to the Employee’s surviving spouse under
Subsection 4.1(c), if any, shall not increase by reason of any additional future service
credit accruals after the June 30, 2007 date on which benefit accruals under the Pension
Plan were frozen, and the Employee’s total lump sum benefits under Subsections 4.1(a)(1) and
4.1(c)(i) shall be calculated without including any benefits the Employee would have accrued
under the pension formula under the relevant Pension Plan attributable to earnings, service
or increases in average annual earnings after June 30, 2007 (or such later date as the
freeze of the Employee’s benefit accruals under the relevant Pension Plan may take effect).
The intent of this Subsection 4.1(h) is that the Employee’s benefit accruals under
Subsection 4.1(a)(i) and 4.1(c)(i) shall be frozen as of the same date future service
accruals under the relevant Pension Plan ceased.

     (i) Effective on and after November 1, 2007, no benefit payable to any Employee under
this Plan and no death benefit payable with respect to any such Employee shall exceed the
amount of the benefit which would have been payable to the Employee under the terms of this
Section 4.1 of this Plan, had the Employee retired on October 31, 2007. Such benefits shall
not increase by reason of any crediting of additional interest credits for periods after
October 31, 2007.

     (j) Special One-Time Election to Receive Lump Sum Payouts Pursuant to Chapter 11
Plan. Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan to the contrary, any Employee who has
an undistributed accrued benefit under this Plan as of November 1, 2007 and would not
otherwise be entitled to receive a distribution under this Plan during 2006 or 2007, shall
be entitled to elect, by filing a written election with the Vice President Human Resources
of the Company before December 31, 2007, to receive a payment of his or her benefit under
this Plan during 2008 (but not before the date on which the Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization for the Company confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court takes effect)
regardless of whether the Employee has terminated active employment with the Company prior
to the date of payment. This payment shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the
lump sum benefit calculated for the Employee under Section 4.1(a) of this Plan or (ii) the
amount payable with respect to the Employee’s claim for benefits under this Plan pursuant to
the terms of the Company’s Plan of Reorganization, and shall be paid in a lump sum payment
(or series of lump sum payments to be completed during 2008) consisting of such payments of
cash or stock as may be provided for similar unsecured claims in the terms of the Plan of

8

 

Reorganization confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to IRS Notice 2005-1
Q&A-19(c), and IRS Notice 2006-79, any such election by the Employee will not be treated as
a change in the form and timing of a payment subject to the 4.9(e) of this Plan and Code
Section 409A(a)(4), provided that, the Participant files the election no later than December
31, 2007. With respect to a new election to change the time and form of payment made on or
after January 1, 2007 and on or before December 31, 2007, the new payment election shall
apply only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in 2007.

     4.2 Form of Benefit Payments.

     An Employee eligible for a benefit under this Plan shall be entitled to receive his
benefit in the form of an immediate lump sum payment. However, subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 4.9 below, the Employee may request that his benefit be paid instead
pursuant to an optional form of payment that would be available for the payment of the
Employee’s retirement benefit under the Pension Plan. The amount of the benefit payable
pursuant to any form of payment under this paragraph (a) shall be determined by applying the
mortality rates, interest assumptions and other factors prescribed by the Retirement Plan
that would be applicable to the form of payment that the Employee has requested under this
Plan. Any post-retirement increase in the benefits being paid to an Employee under the
Pension Plan shall also be applied on a comparable basis to any monthly supplemental
benefits being paid under this paragraph (a).

     In addition to the distribution options available under paragraph (a) of this Section
4.2, an Employee eligible for a benefit under this Plan may request to receive his benefit
in 120 monthly installments, regardless of whether the Employee has elected this form of
payment for his retirement benefit under the Pension Plan. An Employee may elect the
120-month installment benefit only if his employment with the Company terminates on or after
July 1, 1988. The Employee’s lump sum benefit determined under paragraph (a) of Section 4.1
shall be converted to monthly installments using the “applicable interest rate” under
Section 417(e) of the Code for the November preceding the calendar year in which the
payments commence. If the Employee dies before 120 monthly payments have been made, there
shall be paid to his beneficiary, commencing on the first day of the month following his
death and continuing for the remainder of the 120-month period, the monthly benefit that had
been paid to the Employee. No payments shall be made either to the Employee or to his
beneficiary after 120 monthly payments have been made.

     (c) If the Employee requests the 120-month installment option under paragraph (b), the
Employee shall designate in writing a natural person (or persons) to be his beneficiary.
The Employee may not designate a trust or his estate to be his beneficiary. If an Employee
designates his spouse as his beneficiary and they thereafter divorce, such designation shall
be automatically revoked. The Employee may change his beneficiary designation in writing at
any time before his installment payments commence, but he may not change his beneficiary
designation after his payments commence. If the Employee dies after his installment
payments have commenced and he is not survived by a designated beneficiary, the remaining
monthly payments shall be paid to the Employee’s estate. If the

9

 

Employee is survived by a designated beneficiary, and the beneficiary dies before the
complete disbursement of the payments due, the remaining monthly payments shall be paid to
the beneficiary’s estate.

     (d) The Employee’s written request to receive an optional form of payment under
paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) instead of an immediate lump sum must be filed with the Vice
President- Human Resources of the Company before the Employee’s date of retirement under the
Pension Plan, provided that any such election filed on or after January 1, 2005 shall also
comply with the requirements set forth in Section 4.9 below. The request shall be granted
or denied in the sole discretion of the Vice President-Human Resources of the Company. If
the Employee is the Vice President-Human Resources of the Company, the duties of the Vice
President-Human Resources of the Company under this Section 4.2 shall be discharged by the
President of the Company.

     4.3. Time and Duration of Benefit Payments. Benefits due under the Plan shall be paid
in a lump sum, except as otherwise determined pursuant to an election filed with the Vice
President-Human Resources or the President of the Company pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.

     Benefits payable under this Plan as a result of an Employee’s retirement shall be payable as
of the Employee’s date of retirement under the Pension Plan or as soon thereafter as may be
reasonably practical (but in no event later than the end of the calendar year which includes the
Employee’s date of retirement, or, if later, the fifteenth day of the third calendar month after
such date of retirement), or to the extent the provisions of Section 4.9(b) below are applicable to
the Employee because the Employee is a Specified Employee, six months and one day after the
Employee’s date of retirement.

     4.4. Benefits Unfunded. The benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid by the
Company each year out of its general assets and shall not be funded in any manner. The obligations
that the Company incurs under this Plan shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s other
creditors having priority as to the Company’s assets.

     4.5. Nonalienability. The Plan Administrator may recognize the right of an alternate
payee named in a domestic relations order to receive all or a portion of an Employee’s benefit
under this Plan, provided that (a) the domestic relations order would be a “qualified domestic
relations order” within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code if Section 414(p) were applicable
to the Plan; (b) the domestic relations order does not purport to give the alternate payee any
right to assets of the Company or its affiliates; and (c) the domestic relations order does not
purport to give the alternate payee any right to receive payments under the Plan before the
Employee is eligible to receive such payments. If the domestic relations order purports to give
the alternate payee a share of a benefit to which the Employee currently has a contingent or
non-vested right, the alternate payee shall not be entitled to receive any payment from the Plan
with respect to the benefit unless the Employee’s right to the benefit becomes nonforfeitable.
Except as set forth in the preceding two sentences with respect to domestic relations orders, and
except as required under applicable federal, state, or local laws concerning the withholding of
tax, rights to benefits payable under the Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment or other legal

10

 

process, or encumbrance of any kind. Any attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge,
or otherwise encumber any such supplemental benefit, whether currently or thereafter payable, shall
be void.

     4.6. Successors to the Corporation. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of any successor or assign of the Company, including, without limitation, any corporation
or corporations acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company whether by merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise (and such successor or assign shall
thereafter be deemed embraced within the term “Company” for the purposes of this Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan will not be assumed by the Company for purposes of Section
365 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 365, or assumed or maintained by any other employer
which may become a successor to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Plan of
Reorganization confirmed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code..

     4.7. Change in Control. Anything hereinabove in this Article IV or elsewhere in this
Plan to the contrary notwithstanding:

     (a) Lump sum payment. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, (i) each
Employee, (ii) each former Employee and (iii) each Employee’s spouse or beneficiary
following his death who is receiving benefits under the Plan (each, a “Recipient”) shall
receive, on account of future payments of any and all benefits due under the Plan, a Lump
Sum Payment, so that each such Employee, former Employee or Recipient will receive
substantially the same amount of after-tax income as before the Change of Control,
determined as set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 4.7, provided that,
effective on and after January 1, 2005, such lump sum distribution shall be limited to the
Grandfathered Benefit unless the Change in Control also qualifies as a Change in Control
Event as provided in Section 4.9(c) below. Subject to Section 4.9(c) below, this Lump Sum
Payment shall be made during the calendar year which includes the effective date of the
Change in Control.

     (b) Certain matters following a lump sum payment. An Employee who has received
a Lump Sum Payment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.7 shall, thereafter (i) while
in the employ of the Company, continue to accrue benefits under the Plan, and (ii) be
eligible to be paid further benefits under the Plan, after appropriate reduction in respect
of the Lump Sum Payment previously received. For purposes of calculating such reduction,
the Lump Sum Payment shall be accumulated with interest at the Specified Rate in effect from
time to time for the period of time from initial payment date to the next date on which a
computation is to be made (i.e., upon Change in Control, retirement, or other termination of
employment). It shall then be converted to a straight-life annuity using the current
annuity certain factor. The current annuity certain factor will be determined on the Net
Specified Rate basis if this benefit payment is being made due to a subsequent Change in
Control; otherwise, the Specified Rate shall be used.

     (c) Determination of lump sum payment. The Lump Sum Payment referred to in
paragraph (a) of this Section 4.7 shall be determined by multiplying the annuity certain
factor (for monthly payments at the beginning of each month) based on the Benefit Payment
Period

11

 

and the Net Specified Rate by the monthly benefit (adjusted for assumed future benefit
adjustments due to Social Security and Code Section 415 changes in the Pension Plan) to be
paid to the Employee or Recipient under the Plan. The date of the Change in Control shall
be treated as the date of retirement for each Employee who would otherwise be eligible for
retirement as of such date for purposes of calculating the Lump Sum Payment.

     4.8. Taxation. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Internal
Revenue Service determines that the Employee is subject to Federal income taxation on an amount in
respect of any benefit provided by the Plan before the distribution of such amount to him, the
Company shall forthwith pay to the Employee all (or the balance) of such amount as is includible in
the Employee’s Federal gross income and shall correspondingly reduce future payments, if any, of
the benefit. ). Except as provided in Section 4.7 with respect to payments after a Change in
Control, the Company shall not reimburse the Employee or any Recipient for any tax, interest, or
penalty that the Employee or Recipient owes with respect to any payment from the Plan. Effective
on and after January 1, 2005, this Section 4.8 shall only apply to Grandfathered Benefits accrued
under this Plan as of December 31, 2004.

     4.9 Additional Restrictions on Deferred Compensation. Effective on and after January
1, 2005, any payment of benefits under the Plan to an Employee (other than Grandfathered Benefits
described in Subsection 4.9(e) below) shall be subject to the additional restrictions imposed
pursuant to Code Section 409A set forth in the following Subsections 4.9 (a), (b), (c), (d) and
(e).

     (a) Restriction on In-Service Distributions. No benefits payable to an
Employee under this Plan shall be distributed earlier than

     (i)   the date of the Employee’s separation from service with the Company [as
this term may be defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and regulations
promulgated thereunder],

	 	  (ii)	 	the date the Employee becomes Disabled,
	 
	 	  (iii)	 	the date of the Employee’s death,
	 
	 	  (iv)	 	a specified time (or pursuant to a fixed
schedule) specified under the Plan (including pursuant to an election
under Section 4.1(j) of the Plan); or
	 
	 	  (v)	 	a Change in Control, but only to the extent
provided in Subsection 4.9(c) below and regulations under Section 409A
of the Code.

     (b) Additional Restriction on Distributions to Specified Employees.
Notwithstanding Section 4.2 above, on or after January 1, 2005, if at the time a benefit
would otherwise be payable to an Employee under this Plan, the Employee is a “Specified
Employee” [as defined in Section 1.20 above], the distribution of the Employee’s benefit may
not be made or commence until six months and one day after the date of the Employee’s

12

 

separation from service with the Company [as that term may be defined in Section
409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder], or, if earlier the
date of death of the Employee. Any payments not made to the Employee during the six-month
period shall be made to the Employee, along with interest at the rate credited under the
Pension Plan for the same period, six months and one day after the date of the Employee’s
separation from service with the Company (or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably
practical). This Subsection 4.9(b) shall remain in effect only for periods in which the
stock of the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market.

     (c) Payments on a Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs on and
after January 1, 2005 (the effective date of the termination of this Plan), the immediate
lump sum benefit payable to an Employee pursuant to Section 4.8 above shall be limited to
the Employee’s Grandfathered Benefit (if any) except to the extent that such Change in
Control also satisfies the requirements for a Change in Control Event, as described in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), with respect to the Employee.

     (d) No Linkage to Benefit Elections under Qualified Plan. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan to the contrary, effective on and after January 1, 2008, the
Employee may not elect to receive the benefits payable to the Employee under this Plan in
optional forms of benefit payment other than a lump sum payment, as provided for in Section
4.2. After December 31, 2007, the Plan Administrator shall disregard any Employee’s
election to receive his benefits under this Plan in the same optional form of payment in
which his benefits under the Pension Plan are to be paid, except to the extent such election
relates only to a Grandfathered Benefit.

     (e) Restrictions on Subsequent Elections. Except as provided in Section 4.1(j)
above, any request or election to change the form in which an Employee’s benefits under this
Plan are distributed filed with the Company on or after January 1, 2005 shall be given
effect only if it satisfies the following conditions:

     (i) such request or election may not take effect until at least 12 months after
the date on which the election is filed with the Company pursuant to Section 4.2
above; and

     (ii) in the case of any request or election to change the timing of payment for
a benefit from this Plan (other than a benefit payable as result of the Employee’s
death), the first payment made pursuant to such an election may not be made prior to
the end of the period of 5 years from the date such payment would otherwise have
been made.

     (f) Grandfathered Benefits. For periods between January 1, 2005 and the
November 1, 2007 effective date of Section 4.1(j), the restrictions imposed by this Section
4.9 shall not apply to that portion, if any, of the benefits payable to an Employee who had
a non-forfeitable right to receive benefits under this Plan by December 31, 2004 which does
not exceed the Employee’s Grandfathered Benefit.

13

 

     (g) Interpretation. This Section 4.9 has been adopted only in order to comply
with the requirements added by Section 409A of the Code. This Section 4.9 shall be
interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section
409A, together with any regulations or other guidance which may be published by the Treasury
Department or Internal Revenue Service interpreting such Section 409A. This Section 4.9 is
not intended to restrict the operation of this Plan in any manner not necessary to avoid
adverse tax consequences under such Section 409A of the Code.

     4.10 Change in Control Events

     (a) Effective on and after January 1, 2005, for purposes of Section 4.9(c) and other
provisions of this Plan, a “Change in Control Event” shall mean a “Change in Ownership” as
defined in subsection 4.10(b) below, a “Change in Effective Control” as defined in
Subsection 4.10(c) below, or a “Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of Assets” as
defined in Subsection 4.10(d) below. This Section 4.10 has been adopted only in order to
comply with the requirements added by Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and
administered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A, together
with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) and any other regulations or guidance which
may be published by the Treasury Department or Internal Revenue Service from time to time
interpreting such Section 409A.

     (b) Change in Ownership. For purposes of Section 4.9 and this Section 4.10, a
“change in the ownership” of the Company occurs on the date that any one person, or more
than one person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) or any successor regulation), acquires ownership of stock of the Company
that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of
the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. However, if
any one person or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50
percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company,
the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause
a change in the ownership of the Company (or to cause a change in the effective control of
the Company (within the meaning of subsection 4.10(c) below). An increase in the percentage
of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction
in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an
acquisition of stock for purposes of this section.

     (c) Change in the Effective Control. For purposes of Section 4.9 and this
Section 4.10, a change in the effective control of the Company occurs on the date that
either –

     (i) Any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) or any successor regulation), acquires
(or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the Company

14

 

possessing 30 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of the
Company; or

     (ii) a majority of members of the Company’s Board of Directors is replaced
during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election was not
endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to
the date of the appointment or election.

     In the absence of an event described in paragraph (i) or (ii), a change in the
effective control of a Company will not have occurred.

     (d) Change in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets.
For purposes of Section 4.9 and this Section 4.10, a change in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more
than one person acting as a group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period
ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the
Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the
total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such
acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of
the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without
regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

     (e) Exclusion of Transfers to Related Parties. There is no Change in Control
Event under this Subsection 4.10(d) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled
by the shareholders of the Company immediately after the transfer, as provided in this
paragraph. A transfer of assets by the Company is not treated as a change in the ownership
of such assets if the assets are transferred to

     (i) A shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in
exchange for or with respect to its stock;

     (ii) An entity, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of which
is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;

     (iii) A person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly
or indirectly, 50 percent or more of the total value or voting power of all the
outstanding stock of the Company; or

     (iv) An entity, at least 50 percent of the total value or voting power of which
is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in paragraph (iii).

For purposes of this paragraph and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is
determined immediately after the transfer of the assets. For example, a transfer to a
corporation in which the transferor corporation has no ownership interest before the
transaction, but which is a majority-owned subsidiary of the transferor corporation after
the

15

 

transaction is not treated as a change in the ownership of the assets of the transferor
corporation.

ARTICLE V

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND INTERPRETATION

     5.1. Amendment and Termination. The Company reserves the right, by action of the
Board, to amend, modify or terminate, either retroactively or prospectively, any or all of the
provisions of this Plan without the consent of any Employee or beneficiary; provided, however, that
no such action on its part shall adversely affect the rights of an Employee and his beneficiaries
without the consent of such Employee (or his beneficiaries, if the Employee is deceased) with
respect to any benefits accrued prior to the date of such amendment, modification, or termination
of the Plan if the Employee has at that time a non-forfeitable right to benefits under a funded,
defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Company.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective on and after January 1, 2005, no payment of benefits
under this Plan (other than Grandfathered Benefits) to any Employee or beneficiary shall be
accelerated as the result of any termination or amendment of the Plan except to the extent that (a)
the Plan is being terminated with the explicit approval of a U.S. bankruptcy court pursuant to
Section 503(b)(1)(A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (b) the Company is terminating the Plan as a
result of a Change in Control Event (as defined in Section 4.10 above) within the period beginning
30 days prior to and ending 12 months after the effective date of the Change in Control Event, or
(c) such accelerated payment may otherwise be permitted under Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(j)(5).

     5.2. Interpretation. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to
interpret the Plan and to decide any and all matters arising hereunder; including but not limited
to the right to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions by general rule or
particular decision In addition, any interpretations and decisions made by the Plan Administrator
shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the persons who have or who claim to have any interest
in or under the Plan.

     5.3 Impact of Bankruptcy Reorganization. Effective on and after March 3, 2006, no
benefits shall be paid to any Employee under this Plan except to the extent that payment of such
benefit (a) has been expressly approved by the US Bankruptcy Court or (b) is permitted by the terms
of the Company’s Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. To the extent a participating Employee would
otherwise have been entitled to receive a benefit payment under this Plan during 2006 or 2007, but
the Company was not able to complete such payment by reason of the restrictions on payment of
unsecured claims imposed on the Company as a result of its bankruptcy filing, the participant shall
be entitled to receive a payment from the Company in settlement of any and all claims the
participant may have with respect to such benefit, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the
terms of the Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
