3.   In February 1997, Dana acquired the assets of Clark-Hurth Components, a
     worldwide manufacturer of off-highway vehicle and equipment components, and
     the worldwide piston ring and cylinder liner operations and assets of SPX
     Corporation. These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and
     their results of operations have been included since the dates of
     acquisition. Goodwill relating to the acquisitions is included in
     Investments and Other Assets.

4.   In March 1997, Dana completed the sale of its warehouse distribution
     operations in the U.K., the Netherlands and Portugal to U.K.-based Partco
     Group plc. for pound sterling 103 (U.S. $164) resulting in an after-tax
     gain of $45 (44 cents per share).

5.   The Company initiated a rationalization plan at its Perfect Circle Europe
     operations resulting in a charge of $36 (35 cents per share) in the first
     quarter of 1997. The plan includes the sale of its Liancourt piston
     manufacturing facility, reorganization of its Dreux piston ring machining
     operation, sale of its Distribution France operation, and downsizing and
     relocation of its division office.

6.   In July, 1997, Dana announced, subject to regulatory approval, agreements
     to purchase the global axle and brake business of Eaton Corporation for
     $287 and to sell its worldwide vehicular clutch business to Eaton for $180.
     The sale will result in an after-tax gain of approximately $70 (67 cents
     per share) when completed.

7.   Dana has announced the closing of its Berwick, Pa. facility and the sale of
     its operating assets. The estimated after-tax cost of closing, $5 (five
     cents per share), was charged to earnings in the second quarter.

         Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $22 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the same six months in 1996. This
decrease is primarily due to increased working capital requirements which more
than offset the increases in net income and depreciation and amortization
expenses.

*Projected

         Net cash of $572 used in investing activities includes $324 relating to
the acquisitions of the assets of Clark-Hurth Components (CH) and the piston and
cylinder liner operations of SPX Corporation (SPD), offset by the divestiture of
the European warehouse distribution operations. Capital expenditures were $8
higher than in 1996 with slightly higher spending anticipated in the second six
months of the year. The Company currently anticipates an increase of
approximately $23 in capital spending for 1997. Net purchases of assets to be
leased(purchases less principal payments on leases and loans) were $79 in 1997,
an increase of $23 over 1996.

         Financing activities provided net cash of $259, primarily to support
the acquisitions of CH and SPD. Total consolidated debt increased $331 over
December 31, 1996. DCC's debt increased $48 over year end 1996.

         Dana utilizes short-term committed and uncommitted bank lines for the
issuance of commercial paper and bank direct borrowings. Dana (excluding DCC)
had committed and uncommitted borrowing lines of credit totaling approximately
$1.4 billion at June 30, 1997, while DCC's lines were $887. Dana's strong cash
flows from operations, together with sufficient worldwide credit facilities, are
expected to provide adequate liquidity to meet the Company's debt service
obligations, projected capital expenditures and working capital requirements for
1997.

         Dana's management and legal counsel have reviewed the legal proceedings
to which the Company and its subsidiaries were parties as of June 30, 1997
(including, among others, those involving product liability claims and alleged
violations of environmental laws) and concluded that neither the liabilities
that may result from these legal proceedings nor the timing of the cash flows
for these liabilities is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on
the Company's liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. The
Company estimates its contingent environmental and product liabilities based
upon the most probable method of remediation or outcome considering currently
enacted laws and regulations and existing technology. Measurement of liabilities
is made on an undiscounted basis and excludes the effects of inflation and other
societal and economic factors. In those cases where there is a range of equally
probable remediation methods or outcomes, the Company accrues at the lower end
of the range. At June 30, 1997, the Company accruals were $58 for product
liability costs (products) and $55, including $11 relating to acquisitions, for
environmental liability costs (environmental), compared to $65 for products and
$47 for environmental at December 31, 1996. The difference between the Company's
minimum and maximum estimates for contingent liabilities, while not considered
material, was $17 for products and $1 for environmental at June 30, 1997,
unchanged since December 31, 1996. Probable recoveries of $37 for products and
$10 for environmental from insurance or third parties have been recorded as
assets at June 30, 1997, compared to $39 for products and $10 for environmental
at December 31, 1996.

         Sales for the second quarter of $2,141 exceeded 1996 second quarter
sales by $121 or 6%. During 1997, sales of companies acquired, net of the
European divestiture, amounted to $109 of the increase. On a comparable basis
the sales increased 1% during the quarter. International sales increased $37 or
7% with $21 related to acquisitions, net of the European divestiture. The $84
million, 6%, increase in U.S. sales for the second quarter was primarily due to
acquisitions. U.S. sales on a comparable basis remained even with the second
quarter of 1996, even though such sales were negatively impacted by work
stoppages at two major customers.

         The work stoppages impacted domestic light truck and sport utility
vehicle component sales for the quarter, which were down 3% from 1996. U.S.
sales of heavy truck OE components rose 5% over last year. As a result of
acquisitions, worldwide sales to manufacturers of off-highway vehicles increased
57% and passenger car OE sales grew 22%.

         Dana's second-quarter international distribution business declined 18%
due to the sale of the European distribution business in the first quarter,
while U.S. distribution sales increased 3%. Excluding the effect of the
acquisitions and the European divestiture, international distribution sales
increased 15%, U.S. sales decreased 4% and worldwide sales increased 2%.

         Revenue from lease financing and other income increased $27 over the
second quarter 1996. Contributing to the increase were higher interest income
and the sale of an investment in a leveraged lease by DCC.

         Dana's gross margin for the second quarter was 14.7% compared to 15.9%
in 1996 and operating margin declined from 6.4% in 1996 to 6.0% in 1997. These
margins were adversely affected by the work stoppages at two of our major
customers and the $9 charge related to the Berwick, Pa. plant closing.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased $3 in
1997. The European divestiture was a significant reason for the decrease,
partially offset by the effect of the acquisitions. The ratio of SG&A expense to
sales improved from 9.4% in 1996 to 8.8% in 1997.

         Interest expense was $13 higher than last year due to higher average
debt levels related to acquisitions.

         Dana's second quarter 1997 effective tax rate was 39% compared to 35%
for 1996's second quarter. The 1996 rate reflects a lower effective rate for a
Brazilian subsidiary.

         Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $1 in 1997, the net effect
of higher earnings of the Company's affiliates in Mexico and lower earnings of a
South American affiliate.

         The Company reported record second quarter profit of $94, a 3% increase
over 1996. Despite second-quarter work stoppages at two major customers,
earnings per share totaled 90 cents, level with the second quarter of 1996.

         Dana's worldwide sales of $4,256 for the first six months of 1997 were
7% higher than the same period last year. Excluding the effect of acquisitions
and the European divestiture, sales increased $67 or 2% despite second-quarter
work stoppages at two major customers. Global sales of light truck components
(for sport utility vehicles, pick-up trucks and vans) to original equipment
manufacturers were 8% above Dana's strong performance during the same period in
1996.

         Dana's international operations increased sales 8% over 1996, with
acquisitions adding $64 or 6% net of the European divestiture. Excluding these
items, sales increased $23 or 2% in 1997. U.S. sales increased 6% over 1996,
with acquisitions adding $132 or 4%. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, U.S.
sales increased $44 or 2% in 1997. U.S. sales of heavy truck OE components,
which strengthened in the second quarter, were still down 3% for the six months.
Fueled by Dana's first-quarter acquisitions, sales to global manufacturers of
off-highway vehicles were up 37% and worldwide sales to passenger car makers
were up 20%. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, worldwide sales to global
manufacturers of off-highway vehicles decreased 5% and worldwide sales to
passenger car makers were down 2%.

         All regions reported increased sales over the comparable period in
1996. The European and South American sales continued to grow in the six-month
period as the Company concentrated on international growth of its core
businesses, particularly through acquisitions. North American sales were also
higher in part from the ongoing demand for light truck and sport utility
vehicles.

         Dana's worldwide distribution business decreased 1% over the 1996
period, primarily due to the disposition of the European warehouse distribution
business. Automotive distribution sales were down 11% (due to the distribution
business disposition). Truck parts distribution was up 12% and
off-highway/industrial distribution increased 8%. On a comparable basis,
worldwide distribution sales increased 2%, automotive distribution sales
decreased 1%, truck parts distribution increased 11% and off-highway/industrial
distribution was even with 1996.

         Revenue from lease financing and other income increased $99 in 1997.
Contributing to the increase were $76 of other income relating to the
divestiture of the European warehouse distribution operations, $13 from the sale
of an investment in a leveraged lease by DCC and increased lease-related revenue
at DCC.

         Dana's gross margin for the first six months of 1997 was 14.3%,
compared to 15.4% in 1996. Charges to cost of sales of $26 related to the
rationalization plan at the Company's Perfect Circle Europe operations in France
and $9 related to the estimated cost of closing the Berwick, Pa. plant as well
as the effect of work stoppages at two of Dana's major customers were the
primary reasons for the decline in gross margin. Excluding these charges and the
estimated effect of the work stoppages, gross margin would have been comparable
to 1996.

         SG&A increased 2% in 1997. The increase due to acquisitions was
substantially offset by the effect of the European divestiture. The ratio of
SG&A expense to sales improved from 9.3% in 1996 to 8.9% in 1997.

         Dana's operating margin for the six-month period was 5.4% in 1997
versus 6.1% in 1996. Excluding the charges for the European rationalization plan
and the plant closing and the estimated effect of work stoppages, Dana's 1997
operating margin would have improved over 1996.

         Interest expense increased $22 over the six-month period in 1996,
primarily due to higher average debt levels associated with acquisitions.

Results of Operations (Six Months 1997 vs Six Months 1996)
- ----------------------------------------------------------

(in Millions)

         Dana's effective tax rate for the first half of 1997 was 46% compared
to 37% for 1996's first six months. The effective rate is higher due to the
provision of a valuation reserve for tax benefits previously recorded in France
and the valuation reserve for tax benefits associated with the expenses recorded
for the rationalization plan at its Perfect Circle Europe operations.

         Minority interest in net income of subsidiaries decreased $3, primarily
due to the lower earnings recorded by Dana's majority-owned subsidiary in
Brazil.

         Equity in earnings of affiliates was higher in 1997 by $5, primarily
due to higher earnings of the Company's affiliates in Mexico, which were
partially offset by lower earnings of affiliates in Korea and South America.

         The Company reported profit of $186, an increase of $16 or 9% from
1996. Earnings per share increased 7% over the first six months of 1996. The
earnings for 1997 included a $45 after-tax gain on the sale of the European
warehouse operations and charges of $36 for the rationalization plan of the
Perfect Circle Europe operations and $5 for the Berwick, Pa. plant closing.
Earnings were also negatively impacted by the work stoppages at two of Dana's
major customers.

         With the strikes at two of Dana's largest customers resolved,
production of U.S. light trucks and sport utility vehicles is expected to
continue with volumes similar to the second half of 1996. The domestic heavy
truck market showed some improvement in the second quarter of 1997 and is
expected to continue this slight improvement for the remainder of the year.

         Dana recently announced several major steps to rationalize its business
portfolio worldwide and to focus more sharply on its core businesses. These
plans include selling its global vehicular clutch business to Eaton Corporation
and purchasing Eaton's worldwide axle and brake operations; selling its
transmission business to a unit of its Mexican affiliate Spicer, S.A. de C.V.
and selling its global hydraulic cylinder manufacturing operations. These are
the latest in a series of strategic moves aimed at sharpening Dana's focus on
its core businesses - axles, driveshafts, structural components, sealing
products, filtration products, industrial products, engine products, and leasing
services.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------------------------

         The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are parties to various
pending judicial and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course
of business. The Company's management and legal counsel have reviewed the
probable outcome of these proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably
expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the Company's insurance
coverage, and the Company's established reserves for uninsured liabilities.
While the outcome of the pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty,
based on its review, management believes that any liabilities that may result
are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity,
financial condition or results of operations.

         Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain
environmental proceedings are not deemed to be ordinary routine proceedings
incidental to the Company's business and are required to be reported in the
Company's annual and/or quarterly reports. The Company is not currently a party
to any such proceedings.

            SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE DANA CORPORATION RETIREMENT PLAN

         In order to ensure that the eligibility provisions of the Dana
Corporation Retirement Plan ("Plan") are properly administered, it is necessary
to amend the Plan as follows, effective as of June 1, 1997.

         1.   Move and re-letter section 1.11C so that it becomes the new 
              section 1.11G, and also move and re-letter section 1.11F so that 
              it becomes the new section 1.11H, and re-letter the remaining 
              lettered subparagraphs of section 1.11 accordingly.

         2.   Add the following new subparagraphs  section 1.11I and section 
              1.11J, to read in their entirety as follows:

               "I. an individual employed by an Employer pursuant to a contract 
                  or other agreement that specifies that the individual is not 
                  eligible to participate in the Plan; or

               J. a common-law employee that an Employer mistakenly but in good 
                  faith classifies as other than a common-law employee. Any
                  individual described in this paragraph J. shall be deemed to
                  be an Employee as of the date on which the Employer
                  reclassifies him as a common-law employee."

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Second Amendment to the
Dana Corporation Retirement Plan to be executed this 27th day of May, 1997.

                                                  DANA CORPORATION

                                DANA CORPORATION
                            DIRECTORS RETIREMENT PLAN
                            -------------------------

         The objective of this Dana Corporation Directors Retirement Plan
(hereinafter called "Plan") is to recognize the value of a Director's past
service to the Dana Corporation (hereinafter called "Company"), to compensate
for the availability of the Director's knowledge and experience as a resource to
the Company, and to assist the Company in attracting and retaining new
Directors.

         To that end, the outside Directors of the Company shall be entitled to
receive retirement benefits in the amounts and on the terms and conditions set
forth in the following:

         1. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3, 7, and 10 hereof, each
outside Director who retires between February 18, 1985 and December 31, 1996
shall, upon his retirement from the Board after attaining age 65, be entitled to
receive a monthly retirement payment in the amount hereinafter provided for,
payable on the first day of each month commencing with the month following his
retirement from the Board and continuing through the month in which his death
shall occur, provided that no event shall the aggregate number of payments
exceed the number of months he served as a Director of the Company. For purposes
of this Plan, an "outside Director" shall be defined as a Director of the
Company who is not an employee of the Company and who is not entitled, either
before or after retirement from the Board, to receive employee pension benefits
from the Company or from any of its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding 


<PAGE>   2

anything else in this Plan to the contrary, no benefits shall be payable to or
accrued on behalf of a Director under this Plan unless the Director was eligible
to receive benefits under this Plan and retired as a Director of the Company
between February 18, 1985 and December 31, 1996.

         2. The monthly retirement payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/12
of the product of 50% times the annual average of the fees and retainers
(exclusive of any fees solely attributable to professional or other consulting
services furnished to the Company independently of his service as a Director)
payable to the Director by the Company (whether on a current or deferred payment
basis) for his services as a member or chairman of the Board or any committee of
the Board, including fees for attendance at any meeting of the Board or any
committee thereof, during his last three full calendar years of service as a
Director. All Plan benefits will be paid in cash.

         3. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7 below, in order to be
entitled to any retirement benefits under the Plan, a Director must not
voluntarily terminate (whether by resignation or refusal to stand for
re-election) his service as a Director of the Company for any reason (other than
illness or other incapacity that ends his active business career), or be
involuntarily terminated by reason of any failure of the stockholders to elect
or re-elect the Director to the Board, or otherwise, prior to the Annual
Shareholders Meeting immediately following his 65th birthday. If a Director
voluntarily terminates, or has his service involuntarily terminated, as provided
above, he shall not have any right to receive retirement benefits from the
Company under this Plan unless the provisions of Paragraph 7 apply. An eligible
Director who voluntarily terminates his service as a Director of the Company
prior to such Annual Shareholders Meeting due to illness or other medical
incapacity which ends his active business 



<PAGE>   3



career will be entitled to receive monthly retirement payments in the amount
provided by Paragraph 2 above, for the number of months provided in Paragraph 1
above and commencing, however, on the first day of the month in which such
Director so terminates his service.

         (a) PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVORS BENEFIT. If a Director dies prior to his
retirement from the Board, his surviving spouse (if any) shall be entitled to
receive a monthly survivors benefit equal to the monthly benefit which would
have been payable to the Director had he retired on the day prior to his death.
Such monthly survivors benefit shall be paid to the surviving spouse until the
month in which her death shall occur, provided that in no event shall the
aggregate number of such monthly survivor benefit payments exceed the number of
months that the Director served on the Board of the Company. Solely for the
purposes of this paragraph, a deceased Director will be deemed to have been
eligible to receive a retirement benefit from the Plan even though he may not
have obtained age 65 at the time of his death.

         (b) POST-RETIREMENT SURVIVORS BENEFIT. In lieu of a Director's
receiving monthly retirement benefit payments in the form and amount provided in
Paragraphs 1 and 2, a Director may elect to receive a reduced benefit for his
life, with a provision for a survivor's benefit payable to his spouse following
the Director's death. In the event the Director elects to receive his monthly
retirement benefit in the form of a post-retirement survivor annuity, he shall
be entitled to receive the monthly benefits provided in Paragraph 1 for his
life, and following his death, his spouse shall be entitled to receive any
monthly retirement payments that remained payable to the Director at the time of
his death. Such monthly survivors benefit shall be paid to the spouse until the
month in which her death shall occur, provided that in no event shall the
aggregate 



<PAGE>   4


number of monthly benefit payments made to the Director and his spouse exceed
the number of months that the Director served on the Board of the Company. The
amount of benefits payable to the Director and his spouse pursuant to the
election of a post-retirement survivor form of payment shall be determined by
applying the mortality rates, interest assumptions and other factors prescribed
by the Dana Corporation Retirement Plan that would be applicable to the Director
had he elected a post-retirement joint and survivor form of payment under such
Retirement Plan.

         4. Neither the establishment of, nor the participation or eligibility
for participation of any Director in this Plan, shall be construed to confer any
right of tenure on the part of any Director or any right of nomination,
renomination, election or re-election to the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Company shall not incur any liability for any loss of benefits that might
result under this Plan from any failure of the stockholders to elect or re-elect
any Director to the Board of Directors or any failure of the Board of Directors
to nominate any Director for re-election. Benefits payable under the Plan will
not be funded by the Company, or be transferable or assignable by a Director,
nor shall they be subject to encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation or set-off.

         5. So long as he is receiving any retirement payments from the Company,
each retired Director agrees that the Company may, in its annual report and
other appropriate documents enumerating the Directors of the Company, include
the retired Director with appropriate indication of his retired or emeritus
status.

         6. It is intended that this Plan will operate in addition to, and not
as a replacement for, the Dana Corporation Directors Deferred Fee Plan, and
Directors will still be permitted to defer all or a portion of their fees under
the Directors Deferred Fee Plan without in any way reducing the benefits to
which they are entitled under this Plan. 


<PAGE>   5

The establishment and operation of this Plan shall not affect in any way the
Directors Deferred Fee Plan, which shall continue in effect in accordance with
its terms as if this Plan had never been established.

         7. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Company and any successor or assign of the Company, including, without
limitation, any corporation or corporations acquiring directly or indirectly all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company whether by merger,
consolidation, sale or otherwise (and such successor or assign shall thereafter
be deemed embraced within the term "Company" for the purposes of this Plan);
provided that no assignment by the Company of any of its obligations under this
Plan shall without the written consent of affected participants release the
Company from its obligations hereunder.

         (d) LUMP SUM PAYMENT. Under the occurrence of a "change in control of
the Company", as hereinafter defined, then each Director, each retired Director,
and each spouse of a deceased Director (collectively referred to as "Recipient")
shall receive on account of future payments of any and all benefits accrued
under the Plan, a Lump Sum Payment, so that each such Recipient will receive
substantially the same amount of after-tax income as before the change in
control, determined as set forth in subparagraph (c) below of this Paragraph 7.
Solely for the purpose of calculating the benefit accrual of active outside
Directors under the next preceding sentence, it is to be assumed that the
Directors were entitled to, and did, retire under this Plan at the date of the
change in control of the Company, with a deferred vested benefit commencing at
age 65 for those Directors under age 65 and an immediate retirement annuity for
older Directors. Such Lump Sum Payment shall be made irrespective of whether or
not the Recipient shall, upon or after such change in control, voluntarily or
involuntarily 



<PAGE>   6


terminate his service as a Director of the Company. The Lump Sum Payment payable
to such Recipient in such event shall be based on the annual average of the fees
and retainers payable to the Director for his services during his last three
full calendar years of service as a Director of the Company prior to the Lump
Sum Payment pursuant to this Paragraph. The amount of each Lump Sum Payment
shall be governed in all other respects by the provisions of this Plan as in
effect on the date of such change in control. No provision of this Paragraph 7
is intended to reduce or duplicate any monthly retirement payment or payments to
which any Recipient may be entitled under any provision of this Plan other than
this Paragraph 7.

         For the purposes of this Paragraph 7, the term "change in control of
the Company" shall mean a change in control of a nature that would be required
to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as in effect on the
effective date of this Plan; provided that, without limitation, such a change in
control shall be deemed to have occurred if and when (a) any "person" (as such
term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) is or becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting
power of the Company's then outstanding securities, or (b) during any period of
24 consecutive months, commencing before or after the effective date of this
Plan, individuals who at the beginning of such 24 month period were Directors of
the Company cease for any reason (other than death, disability or retirement in
accordance with the Company's policy relating to retirement of Directors in
effect on the effective date of this Plan) to constitute at least a majority of
the Board of Directors of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Plan, the 




<PAGE>   7

term "person" referred to in clause (a) above of this Paragraph 7 shall not
include within its meaning, and shall not be deemed to include, for any purpose
of this Plan, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company.

         (b) CERTAIN MATTERS FOLLOWING A LUMP SUM PAYMENT. A Director who has
received a Lump Sum Payment pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 7
shall, thereafter (i) while serving as a Director of the Company, continue to
accrue benefits under the Plan, and (ii) be eligible to be paid further benefits
under the Plan, after appropriate reduction in respect of the Lump Sum Payment
previously received. For purposes of calculating such reduction, the Lump Sum
Payment shall be accumulated with interest at the Specified Rate in effect from
time to time for the period of time from initial payment date to the next date
on which a computation is to be made (i.e., upon a change of control of the
Company, retirement or other termination of employment). It shall then be
converted to a straight-life annuity using the current annuity certain factor.
The current annuity certain factor will be determined on the Net Specified Rate
basis if this benefit payment is being made due to a subsequent change in
control of the Company; otherwise, the Specified Rate shall be used.

         (c) DETERMINATION OF LUMP SUM PAYMENT. The Lump Sum Payment referred to
in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 7 shall be determined by multiplying the
annuity certain factor (for monthly payments at the beginning of each month)
based on the Life Expectancy of the Director (but not longer than the number of
months he served as a Director of the Company) and the Net Specified Rate by the
monthly benefit to be paid to the Director under the Plan.

         (d) DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the meaning hereinafter
set forth:

                  (i)  "Life Expectancy" shall mean the expected remaining  
         lifetime (to the nearest integer) based on the Mortality Table and the
         age nearest birthday of the Director at the date the Lump Sum Payment
         is made.

                  (ii) "Lump Sum Payment"  shall be determined as set forth in  
         subparagraph (c) above of this Paragraph 7.

                  (iii) "Mortality Table" shall mean the UP-1984 Table (or such
         other pensioner annuity mortality table as the Company with the written
         consent of the Director shall determine).

                  (iv) "Net Specified Rate" shall mean the interest rate which
         will produce income on a tax free basis that equals the income produced
         by the Specified Rate net of the combined highest rates of Federal,
         state and local income taxes that are in effect in the jurisdiction of
         the Director on the date of payment of the Lump Sum Payment.

                  (v) "Specified Rate" shall mean the interest rate for
         immediate annuities of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)
         in effect on the date of payment of the Lump Sum Payment as set forth
         in Appendix B to Part 2619 of 29 Code of Federal Regulations or such
         successor to such Appendix B as may be in effect on such date. 

         8. This Plan shall be administered by the Advisory Committee of the
Board of Directors. The Advisory Committee of the Board of Directors shall have
the power to interpret the Plan and to decide any and all matters arising
hereunder; including but not limited to the right to remedy possible
ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions by 



<PAGE>   9

general rule or particular decision; provided, that all such interpretations and
decisions shall be applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to all
participants similarly situated. In addition, any interpretations and decisions
made by the Advisory Committee of the Board of Directors shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon all persons who have or who claim to have any
interest in or under the Plan.

         9. The obligation of the Company to make or continue payments under
this Plan shall be subject to the condition that the Director or former Director
shall not engage, either directly or indirectly, in any activity which is
competitive with any activity of the Company, it being understood that in the
event of a breach by the Director or former Director of the foregoing condition,
the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment or payments hereunder
coming due subsequent to the occurrence of such breach. The Advisory Committee
of the Board of Directors, upon prior written request of a Director or former
Director, may waive the condition specified above with respect to
non-competition if, based upon all of the relevant circumstances, in the sole
judgment of the Committee, the granting of such waiver is justified.

         10. The Company shall have the right, through its Board of Directors,
at any time to amend or terminate this Plan, provided that any amendment or
termination of the Plan shall be prospective in operation only and shall not
adversely affect any rights of any Director to receive retirement payments on
account of his service as a Director prior to such time unless he shall
expressly consent thereto.

         Pursuant to Resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted on February
10, 1997, the Board has terminated the Plan effective December 31, 1996 with
respect to any current or future outside Director who was not receiving
retirement benefit distributions from the Plan on December 31, 1996. Retired
Directors (or their 



<PAGE>   10

beneficiaries) who are currently receiving distributions from the Plan will
continue to be eligible to receive distributions in accordance with the terms of
the Plan as in effect on December 30, 1996. The Plan will terminate on December
31, 1996 with respect to Directors who, as of that date, were not currently
receiving benefit distributions under the Plan, and such Directors will have no
right to receive a benefit from the Plan following their retirement from the
Board or other termination of service from the Company.

         11. This Dana Corporation Directors Retirement Plan became effective on
February 18, 1985, and shall cover retirements from the Board between that date
and December 31, 1996.

                     AMENDMENT NO. 3 DATED DECEMBER 9, 1996
                      TO AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 14, 1992
                BETWEEN DANA CORPORATION AND SOUTHWOOD J. MORCOTT
                -------------------------------------------------

         WHEREAS, the parties have entered into an agreement dated December 14,
1992 (the "Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to make an amendment to the Agreement;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration from each party to the other,
it is hereby mutually agreed by the parties that, effective December 9, 1996:

         1.      Amend Section 3(b) to read in its entirety as follows:

                  "(b) ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. So long as the Executive is
                  employed by the Corporation, he shall be eligible to receive
                  (i) annual short-term incentive awards or bonuses and (ii)
                  such long-term incentive awards or bonuses as relate to award
                  cycles that commenced prior to 1992 (such award or bonus is
                  hereinafter referred to as "Short-Term Award" or "Long-Term
                  Award" and such aggregate awards or bonuses for each year are
                  hereinafter referred to as the "Annual Bonus") from the Dana
                  Corporation Additional Compensation Plan, and from any
                  successor or replacement plan (the Dana Corporation Additional
                  Compensation Plan and such successor or replacement plans
                  being referred to herein collectively as the "ACP"), in
                  accordance with the terms thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that,
                  with respect to each fiscal year of the Corporation ending
                  during the Change of Control Period, the Executive shall be
                  awarded (whether under the terms of the ACP or otherwise) an
                  Annual Bonus in an amount that shall not be less than fifty
                  percent (50%) of his Annual Base Salary rate in effect on the
                  last day of such fiscal year (which amount shall be prorated
                  if such fiscal year shall be less than 12 months) (the "Target
                  Annual Bonus"). Each Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than
                  the end of the third month of the fiscal year next following
                  the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless
                  the receipt of such Annual Bonus is deferred in accordance
                  with the terms of the ACP."
