Effective March 31, 2012, José Maria Alapont will retire as President and Chief Executive Officer of Federal-Mogul Corporation (the “Company”). Mr. Alapont will continue to serve as a consultant to the Company until May 31, 2013 and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) through the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with Mr. Alapont’s retirement, on March 31, 2012, the Company and Mr. Alapont entered into a retirement and consulting agreement (the “Retirement Agreement”). The Retirement Agreement: (i) confirms the benefits Mr. Alapont will receive under his existing employment documents; and (ii) provides for payment by the Company to Mr. Alapont of $6,000,000 for consulting and transition services and in consideration of all other agreements and obligations under the Retirement Agreement. The foregoing description of the Retirement Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.01 and incorporated herein by reference.

Rainer Jueckstock will become the Company’s Chief Executive Officer effective April 1, 2012 and joins the Company’s Board effective immediately. In connection with Mr. Jueckstock’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Jueckstock (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement provides for (i) an annual base salary of $600,000, (ii) a bonus opportunity of 90% of his base salary under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan and (iii) an incentive payment under the Company’s MIP Uplift Plan with a target incentive opportunity of not less than 115% of his base salary. The term of the Employment Agreement is April 1, 2012 though March 31, 2016. If, prior to March 31, 2016 , Mr. Jueckstock is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Jueckstock for “good reason” (as each of those terms is defined in the Employment Agreement”), Mr. Jueckstock is entitled to one year’s base salary plus his target bonus under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan for the year in which termination occurs. The Company has also agreed to continue to make contributions to the German pension plan for the benefit of Mr. Jueckstock in an amount equal to 100,000 Euros per year. Mr. Jueckstock has also agreed to a non-competition provision for a period that ends one year from the last day of his employment, which non-competition provision may be extended by the Company for an additional one-year period under the conditions set forth in the Employment Agreement and subject to providing Mr. Jueckstock an additional one year’s base salary during such extension. The Employment Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between Mr. Jueckstock and the Company (other than the Company’s German pension plan). The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.02 and incorporated herein by reference.
