Under the Separation Agreement, subject to Mr. Broderick’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, Mr. Broderick is entitled to (i) a payment of $237,500, payable in six equal monthly installments and (ii) a lump sum payment equal to six months of the Company’s portion of premiums under the Company’s medical plan. The Separation Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including six-month non-competition and non-solicitation periods. The description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.

As previously disclosed, Kevin P. Freeland will become the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer, Vehicle Components Segment, and the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Freeland on May 29, 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”). The terms of the Employment Agreement were previously described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2013.
