4.     

AWARDS INTENDED TO QUALIFY UNDER SECTION 162(M).


(a)     

In addition to awards that may be made by the Committee under paragraph 3, the Grant Committee may make awards to employees from time to time on terms consistent with the provisions of the Plan as "performance compensation" awards in order that such awards constitute qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). The Grant Committee shall exercise all other responsibilities, powers and authority not reserved to the Board of Directors relating to awards made under this paragraph 4. With respect to each such performance compensation award, the Grant Committee shall, on or before the 90th day of the applicable fiscal year, establish, in writing, applicable performance goals and the performance objectives to be used in determining whether and to what extent awards shall be deemed to be earned in respect of such fiscal year. The performance goals shall be based on one or more of the following objective performance criteria or components thereof selected by the Grant Committee to measure the performance of ArvinMeritor, a division or business component (which may but need not be a subsidiary) of ArvinMeritor or both for a fiscal year: (i) sales or cash return on sales; (ii) cash flow or free cash flow or net cash from operating activity; (iii) earnings (including gross margin, earnings before or after interest and taxes, earnings before taxes, and net earnings); (iv) basic or diluted earnings per share; (v) growth in earnings or earnings per share; (vi) stock price; (vii) return on equity or average shareholders’ equity; (viii) total shareholder return; (ix) return on capital; (x) return on assets or net assets; (xi) return on investments; (xii) revenue or gross profits; (xiii) income before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or net income; (xiv) pretax income before allocation of corporate overhead and bonus; (xv) operating income or net operating income; (xvi) operating profit or net operating profit (whether before or after taxes); (xvii) operating margin; (xviii) return on operating revenue; (xix) working capital or net working capital; (xx) market share; (xxi) asset velocity index; (xxii) contract awards or backlog; (xxiii) overhead or other expense or cost reduction; (xxiv) growth in shareholder value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or a peer group index; (xxv) credit rating; (xxvi) strategic plan development and implementation; (xxvii) improvement in workforce diversity; (xxviii) customer satisfaction; (xxix) employee satisfaction; (xxx) management succession plan development and implementation; and (xxxi) employee retention. Such performance goals and performance objectives also may be based solely on ArvinMeritor's performance or the performance of an affiliate, division or business component of ArvinMeritor, or based on the relative performance of other companies or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to other companies. Each such performance criterion shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, if applicable, as consistently applied by the Corporation and, if so determined by the Grant Committee at the time the award is made, and to the extent permitted under Section 162(m), adjusted to omit the effects of extraordinary items, gain or loss on the disposal of a business segment, unusual or infrequently occurring events and transactions and cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles. Performance goals and performance objectives may vary from fiscal year to fiscal year and from employee to employee and may be established on a stand-alone basis, in tandem or in the alternative. Once established for a fiscal year, such goals and objectives shall not be amended or otherwise modified if and to the extent such amendment or modification would cause the compensation payable pursuant to the award to fail to constitute qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).


(b)     

A participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a performance compensation award only to the extent that the performance goals for that award are achieved. As soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal year, the Grant Committee shall review and determine whether, and to what extent, the performance goals for the fiscal year have been achieved and, if so, determine the amount of the performance compensation award that may be earned by the employee for such fiscal year. The Grant Committee shall then determine the actual amount of the performance compensation award that may be paid to the employee and, in so doing, may in its sole discretion decrease, but not increase, the amount of the award otherwise payable to the employee based upon such performance.


(c)     

No performance compensation award having an aggregate maximum dollar value in excess of $5,000,000 shall be paid to any individual employee in any one fiscal year of ArvinMeritor.


5.     

FINALITY OF DETERMINATIONS.


            

The Committee or Grant Committee, as applicable, shall have the power to administer and interpret the Plan. All determinations, interpretations and actions of the Committeeor Grant Committee, as applicable, and all actions of the Board of Directors under or in connection with the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all concerned.


6.     

AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.


            

The Board of Directors shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, except that no such action shall adversely affect rights under an award already made, without the consent of the person affected; and


7.
