PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made by and between Federal-Mogul Motorparts (the “Company”), a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and [Name], an officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (the “Participant”) effective as of January 1, 2015.
In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Participant hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Participant identified above a Performance Award (calculated in the manner set forth in Section 5 hereof) subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Terms"). No Performance Award will be paid or payable hereunder unless the Participant earns the Performance Award pursuant to Sections 4, 5 and/or 9 hereof and Section 5 of the Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation 2012 Long-Term Performance Plan dated as of July 10, 2012 (the “Plan”). This Performance Award is granted pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. A copy of the Plan is attached as an exhibit hereto and the terms and conditions thereof are incorporated herein by this reference and are expressly made part of this Agreement. All terms used herein and defined in the Plan shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the same meaning set forth in the Plan. The Performance Award granted hereby is non-transferable except as otherwise permitted under the Plan.
2. Performance Period. The Performance Period for this Award shall be the three-year period commencing on January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2017.
3. Performance Measure. The performance measure for the Performance Period shall be the cumulative Operational EBITDA for the Performance Period. Operational EBITDA is defined as operating income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization after accrual for bonuses and excluding restructuring charges (as determined by the Committee) and expenses for the U.S. defined benefit plan. For purposes of calculating Operational EBITDA, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, exclude the impact of non-recurring or extraordinary gains or losses, changes in accounting methodology (or similar items), and changes in law, that are not indicative of continuing operations and may also adjust the Operational EBITDA performance target based on approved capital expansion plans, acquisitions, and other changes in the Company’s business. For purposes of clarification, the Operational EBITDA performance target set forth in Section 4 is based on the Company’s current business plan and projected growth capital expenditures. Acquisitions or new growth initiatives would likely result in an upward adjustment to the performance target.
4. Performance Goal.
2015 Operational EBITDA: [__________]
2016 Operational EBITDA: [__________]

6. Timing and Form of Payout. As soon as practicable after the close of the Performance Period, the Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President of Human Resources shall calculate the financial performance and the proposed payout under the Plan based on the achievement of the financial Performance Measure. The proposed payout shall be presented to the Committee for its review and approval. Once approved, payment of the Award shall be made within 30 days after completion of the annual audit but not later than March 15 of the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period. All Award payments shall be reduced by amounts required to be withheld for taxes at the time payments are made.
7. Death, Disability, or SEPARATION FROM SERVICE due to (i) Retirement, (ii) TERMINATION by the Company Without Cause, or (iii) termination by the company due to Participant’s disability.

The payment of such amount shall be made according to same terms set forth in Section 6 above. As used herein, “Disability” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan and must also constitute a “disability” pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code.

Consequently, a Participant whose employment with the Company is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated prior to the Performance Award payment date will be ineligible for payment of the Performance Award, except as otherwise provided by the Committee or pursuant to Section 7, in which case any such Performance Award to the terminated employee shall be paid at the time Financial Awards are paid to active employees pursuant to Section 6 above, or pursuant to Section 9.
9. PAYMENT UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, the Participant (or in the case of Participant’s death, the Participant’s beneficiary) shall be eligible to receive a pro-rated Award based upon achievement of Annual Performance Goals as shown in Section 4 for any completed fiscal year during the Performance Period prior to the consummation of the Change of Control. The Annual Performance Goal during the fiscal year in which the Change of Control occurs shall be deemed satisfied at 100%. Payment of the Award shall be made promptly and in no event later than 30 days after the occurrence of a Change in Control unless the Change in Control occurs prior to the completion of the annual audit for a completed year in the Performance Period, in which case payment of the Award shall be made within 30 days after completion of the annual audit but not later than June 30 of the calendar year during which the Change in Control occurs. All Award payments shall be reduced by amounts required to be withheld for taxes at the time payments are made. As used herein, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan and must also constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
10. No Limitation on Rights of the Company.
