FOR
JOSÉ MARIA ALAPONT

AMENDED AND RESTATED JANUARY 1, 2009
 
This is the Federal-Mogul Corporation Key Executive Pension Plan for José Maria Alapont (the “Plan”).  The Plan became effective as of the Effective Date (as defined in the Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) by and between Federal-Mogul Corporation, a Michigan corporation, and José Maria Alapont (“Executive”), dated as of the 2nd day of February 2005) and is being amended and restated by Federal-Mogul Corporation, a Delaware corporation and successor to the Michigan corporation (the “Corporation”), effective January 1, 2009 to be compliant with the requirements of new Section 409A of the Code.
 
This Plan is a Benefit Program administered under and part of the Federal-Mogul Corporation Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.
 
The Plan is intended to provide Executive with a target retirement benefit based upon Executive’s:
 
(1)
average earnings for the three consecutive years in his last five years of service during which his compensation was the highest, and
 
(2)
number of Years of Service credited under this Plan.
 
The target retirement benefit is to be offset by certain other retirement benefits provided to Executive, including under the Corporation’s qualified and nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans, and retirement benefits provided by a predecessor employer under a qualified or nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan or retirement agreement.
 
The Plan is intended to qualify as an unfunded plan maintained by the Corporation primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees as described in sections 201(2), 301(3), and 401(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

ARTICLE VI
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
6.1
No Effect on Employment Rights.  Nothing contained herein will confer upon Executive the right to be retained in the service of the Corporation nor limit the right of the Corporation to discharge Executive.
 
6.2
Funding.  The Corporation may establish a grantor trust for the purpose of funding benefits under this Plan.  Any trust so created shall conform to the terms of the model trust provided by the Internal Revenue Service as described in Revenue Procedure 92-64.  Notwithstanding the establishment of such trust, it is the intention of the Corporation and Executive that the Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.  The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Corporation to make payments in the future.  To the extent that Executive or any Beneficiary acquires a right to receive a payment under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.
 
6.3
Spendthrift Provisions.  No benefit payable under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, domestic relations order or charge prior to actual receipt thereof by the payee; and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge prior to such receipt shall be void; and the Corporation shall not be liable in any manner for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of Executive or any Beneficiary.
 
6.4
Governing Law.  The Plan is established under and will be construed according to the law of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, to the extent that such laws are not preempted by ERISA and valid regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
6.5
Integrated Agreement.  This Plan constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Corporation and Executive with respect to the provision of non-qualified retirement benefits to Executive in excess of those available to  Executive under the Excess SERP or any other written agreement between the Corporation and Executive as to non-qualified retirement benefits.

6.6
Incapacity of Executive.  In the event Executive is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of the person or the estate of Executive is appointed, any benefits under the Plan to which Executive is entitled shall be paid to the conservator or other person legally charged with the care of  Executive.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, should the Committee, in its discretion, determine that Executive is unable to manage his personal affairs, the Committee may make distributions to any person for the benefit of Executive, provided the Committee makes a reasonable good faith judgment that such person shall expend the funds so distributed for the benefit of Executive.  Any such payment shall constitute a discharge of the Plan’s obligation to Executive to the extent of such payment.
 
6.7
Taxes.  Any taxes imposed upon Executive shall be the sole responsibility of Executive.  The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from Executive’s Compensation or any payment made pursuant to this Plan any federal, state, local or other taxes applicable to the benefits provided under this Plan, as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.
 
6.8
Severability.  In the event any provision of this Plan is invalid, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Plan shall be unaffected and shall remain in full force and effect.
 
6.9
Amendment.  The Corporation reserves the right to amend this Plan by action of the Board or the Committee when, in the sole opinion of the Board or the Committee, an amendment is advisable.  Any amendment shall be made pursuant to a resolution of the Board or the Committee, as applicable, and shall be effective as of the date set forth in the resolution.  No amendment shall directly or indirectly deprive Executive of all or any portion of Executive’s Accrued Benefit considered to be accrued under the Plan before the date of such amendment.
 
 
The Plan is intended to comply with provisions of section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed accordingly.  Notwithstanding any provision within the immediately preceding paragraph, the Board or the Committee shall have sole discretion and authority to amend the Plan at any time to satisfy any requirements of section 409A of the Code or applicable guidance issued by the United States Treasury, irrespective of the effect thereof on any benefit or rights of Executive.
 
6.10
Successors.  This Plan shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns.  The Corporation will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation to assume expressly and agree to perform the Corporation’s obligations set forth in this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent as the Corporation would be required to perform such obligations if no such succession had taken place.

6.11
Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding anything herein, no payment payable upon Executive’s Separation from Service shall be made if Executive is determined by the Committee to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder until at least six months following Executive’s Separation from Service.  Any distribution delayed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid to Executive as soon as practicable after (and in no event later than the end of the Plan Year in which such date occurs or, if later, the 15th day of the third calendar month following such date) the date which is six (6) months after the date of Separation from Service or, if earlier, the date of death of the Executive.
 
 
This Plan shall be interpreted and construed in a manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Corporation be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by Executive due to any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

DESCRIPTION OF FORMS OF PAYMENT
 
Normal Form of Payment
 
If you are not married, your normal form of payment is the Single Life Annuity.  If you are married, your normal form of payment is the 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity. Your Lawful Spouse is automatically deemed to be your beneficiary.  If you want to elect a form of benefit other than your normal form of benefit, you must obtain your spouse's consent to this election.  This spousal consent must be in writing, must acknowledge your election of an optional form of benefit, and must be witnessed by a Notary Public.
 
Single Life Annuity Option
 
This option provides monthly payments for your lifetime.  When you die, payments stop and your spouse, heirs and your estate receive nothing.  This method of payment will provide the greatest lifetime monthly payment from the Plan.  If you are married and elect this method, your spouse must consent to this election, witnessed by a Notary Public.
 
Joint and Survivor Annuity Option
 
This method of payment is a monthly income payable for your lifetime.  If you pre-decease your spouse, your spouse will receive a reduced benefit in accordance with your election (50%, 75% or 100%).
 
If you are married, your normal form of payment is the 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity.  This option provides reduced monthly payments for your lifetime, and when you die, your spouse will receive monthly payments for her lifetime, which are equal to 50% of the monthly amount you were receiving.
 
If you are married and want to elect either the 75% or 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity optional forms of payment, you must obtain your spouse's consent to this election.  This spousal consent must be in writing, must acknowledge your election of an optional form of benefit, and must be witnessed by a Notary Public.
 
Payments stop at your death if your spouse predeceases you.  If you die first, payments will stop after the death of your spouse.

Payments stop at your death if your spouse predeceases you.  If you die first, payments will stop after the earlier of (i) receipt by your spouse of the remaining guaranteed payments, if any, and (ii) the death of your spouse.
