nominees, the name, address and number of shares owned by the proponent, and
all information required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for
election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such dates are subject to change if the date

description of the procedures to be followed by shareholders in submitting

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Directors who are not employees of the Corporation
(currently eight directors) are paid retainers of $4,000 for each calendar
quarter. In addition, they are paid fees for attending Board meetings of $1,000
per meeting. They also are paid fees for attending meetings of Committees of
the Board of $700 per Committee meeting, if such meeting is held on the same
day as a Board meeting, and $800 if it is not. Committee chairmen receive an
additional $250 for each Committee meeting attended. A plan permitting
directors to defer compensation is available to all directors who are not
employees of the Corporation. Any deferred compensation remains part of the
general funds of the Corporation and, until paid to the director or his
beneficiary, will earn interest at a rate equal to the ten-year U.S. Treasury
Bill rate plus 1% or, at the director's option, will be valued as though
invested in the Corporation's Common Stock.
4
<PAGE>
During 1993, the Corporation implemented the Non-Employee Director Stock Award
Plan (the "Award Plan"), subject to shareholder approval. Under the Award Plan,
current directors who are not employees of the Corporation received a one-time
grant of 1,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to transfer restrictions lapsing
over five years) on the date the Board approved the Award Plan. Future
directors who are not employees of the Corporation will receive a similar grant
at the time they first become a director. The Award Plan also permits non-
employee directors to elect to receive all or a portion of their annual
retainer fee, meeting and committee fees in Common Stock in lieu of cash. For a
more detailed description of the Award Plan, see "Proposal to Approve the
Corporation's Non-Employee Director Stock Award Plan."
Under the Corporation's Directors' Retirement Income Plan as amended, a former
director who was a member of the Board on or after January 1, 1985 and who has
never been an employee of the Corporation, is entitled to receive quarterly an
amount equal to the amount of the quarterly retainer payable to the
Corporation's nonemployee directors as established by the Board and in effect
on the date such person ceases to be a director. A director will be credited
with a quarter-year of service for each three-month period or part thereof
during which the director served continuously as a member of the Board. Such
amount is payable to the retired director or his surviving spouse over a period
of time which commences on such date and expires on the expiration of a period
of time equal to the number of quarter-years of the director's service on the
Board. In the event a director with five or more years of service on the Board
dies before retiring, the director's surviving spouse will receive a lump sum
payment equal to five times the annual retainer in effect on the date of death.
II. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CORPORATION'S
SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION PLAN
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA) became effective in August
of 1993. OBRA includes a provision limiting the annual tax deduction, by a
publicly held corporation to $1 million of compensation paid to the
Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and the next four most highly compensated
executive officers ("Executive Group") unless certain criteria described below
are met.
The Board of Directors intends to preserve the tax deduction for all
compensation payments by amending the Corporation's 1977 Supplemental
Compensation Plan to comply with OBRA, although the Compensation Committee
believes it is unlikely that the limitation would affect more than one of the
Corporation's officers over the next year.
The Compensation Committee, as well as the Board of Directors, has determined
that it is critical to maintain flexibility in order to attract and retain key
management, so essential to the interests of the shareholders. This can be done
while complying with OBRA. As stated in the Compensation Committee Report to
Shareholders on Executive Compensation, the primary purposes of annual
incentive compensation are to attract, retain and motivate outstanding senior
executive talent. This allows the Corporation to thrive in an extremely
competitive environment. Outstanding managers can enhance shareowner value. The
plan can reward senior management for the attainment of stated objectives.
In addition, while annual supplemental compensation is based on the attainment
of pre-specified goals, the amounts paid (as is the case for the granting of
base compensation) are determined through independent, market based analysis
and recommendation.
Description of Amended and Restated Plan. The Corporation's annual cash
incentive plan, the 1977 Supplemental Compensation Plan (the "Plan") became
effective January 1, 1977 and subsequently has been amended on four occasions.
Subject to shareholder approval, the current amendment and restatement of the
Plan was approved by the Directors on February 9, 1994 and is intended to
comply with the executive officer compensation deduction requirements under
OBRA. The exception becomes effective if (a) the incentive compensation
payments are made pursuant to a plan that provides for (i)
5
<PAGE>
the attainment of a pre-established objective performance goal or goals
established by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent
outside directors; and (ii) an individual executive maximum award for a
designated time period; and (b) a description of the material terms of the
business criteria on which the goals are based is disclosed to and approved by
the shareholders of the Corporation.
As amended, the Plan provides that none of the five most highly compensated
officers will be able to receive an annual cash award under the Plan that is
in excess of three times base salary of the immediately preceding year. See
Summary Compensation Table. While not exceeding this limit, the specific award
amount is based on the Plan and subject to the discretion of the Compensation
Committee. The specific annual performance goal was established by the
Compensation Committee on February 9 for calendar year 1994, and will be
established by December 31, 1994 for calendar year 1995 and by December 31 for
each succeeding calendar year. The performance goals must be substantially
uncertain to be met at the time that they are established. Unless the general
performance targets and the individual caps are approved by shareholders, no
awards that would not qualify for tax deductibility will be paid under the
Plan to senior executive employees for the 1994 fiscal year.
Under the Plan as amended, annual awards set by the Compensation Committee for
members of the Executive Group will be based on one or more of the following
goals: earnings per share; return on investment; return on equity; cash flow;
and specific increases in productivity. No payments will be made to the five
most highly compensated employees until the Compensation Committee certifies
that the annual performance goals have been attained. The Board of Directors
retains the authority to amend the Plan, subject to the shareholder approval
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally,
shareholder approval will not be necessary for Plan amendments except for
material changes to the performance goals.
Although the corporate deduction cap applies only to the Executive Group, the
Plan also covers other members of the Corporation's Advisory Board whose
compensation is not subject to the deduction cap ("Advisory Board
Participants"), as well as certain selected management employees. Advisory
Board Participants and management employees are chosen to participate in the
Plan based on their significant contributions to the success of the
Corporation. The awards for Advisory Board Participants are set pursuant to a
profit formula that is established each year by the Compensation Committee and
approved by the Board of Directors. The Corporation's management each year
establishes the profit formula objective applicable to the management
employees, which is not reviewed by the Board of Directors. Approximately
fourteen Advisory Board Participants (excluding members of the Executive
Group) currently participate in the Plan, and approximately one hundred
eighty-five management employees currently participate in the Plan. If the
Plan is approved by shareholders, all five members of the Executive Group will
be eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to the attainment of the 1994
targeted goals.
Required Vote. Approval of the proposed amendments to the Plan requires the
affirmative vote of shares representing at least a majority of the votes cast
at this meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as a
vote for or against approval of the proposed amendments.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENTS TO
THE CORPORATION'S 1977 SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION PLAN. PROXIES SOLICITED BY
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY A
DIFFERENT CHOICE IN THEIR PROXIES.

<PAGE>
III. APPROVAL OF THE CORPORATION'S NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK AWARD PLAN
Subject to the approval of the Corporation's shareholders, the Board of
Directors approved the adoption of the Non-Employee Director Stock Award Plan
(the "Plan") effective July 1, 1993. The Plan provides for a one-time grant of
restricted Common Stock to all current and future non-employee directors of
the Corporation and it permits non-employee directors to make an election on
an annual basis to receive all or part of their annual cash retainer in the
form of Common Stock. The Plan was adopted after market surveys indicated that
an increase in the annual retainer was appropriate for the Corporation's
directors and provides for grants of restricted stock to non-employee
directors in lieu of a cash increase in the annual retainer. The Board of
Directors believes that the Plan will enhance the Corporation's ability to
attract and retain the services of well-qualified directors and more directly
align the interests of non-employee directors with those of the Corporation's
shareholders. Accordingly, the Board believes approval of the Plan is in the
best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders and recommends a vote
FOR this proposal.
Terms of the Plan
The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock
(subject to adjustment in the event of a merger, recapitalization, stock
dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock)
pursuant to grants made under the Plan to directors who are not officers or
employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries. There are currently eight
such directors serving on the Board of Directors.
Two types of grants may be made under the Plan. First, each non-employee
director currently serving has received a grant of 1,000 shares of restricted
Common Stock conditioned upon approval of the Plan by the Corporation's
shareholders. Each person who subsequently becomes a non-employee director
will automatically receive a similar grant as of the date such person becomes
a non-employee director (an "Initial Grant"). Second, each non-employee
director may make an election on an annual basis to receive any or all of his
or her annual cash retainer and meeting and committee fees in the form of an
award of restricted Common Stock (an "Elective Grant"). The number of shares
in an Elective Grant will be determined by dividing the amount of the retainer
that is to be paid in restricted Common Stock by the average of the high and
low sales prices of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the
first business day which is at least six months and one day following the last
business day of the month during which the annual meeting of the Corporation's
shareholders is held. The following table sets forth the shares issuable under
the Plan to certain persons and classes of persons to the extent determinable.

<PAGE>
Holders of shares of Common Stock subject to Initial Grants or Elective Grants
have all of the rights of shareholders as to such shares except that such
shares are subject to transfer restrictions which lapse over time. The transfer
restrictions on 20% of the shares subject to an Initial Grant lapse annually
beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, while transfer
restrictions on shares subject to Elective Grants lapse six months and one day
after the grant date. Shares subject to transfer restrictions may not be
assigned, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date
on which the restrictions lapse. In the event a non-employee director ceases to
serve on the Board of Directors, the unvested portion of any Grant will be
forfeited except where service ceases due to death, total disability or
retirement in accordance with the Corporation's retirement policy in which case
all transfer restrictions will immediately lapse. In addition, all transfer
restrictions will immediately lapse upon a "change in control" of the
Corporation.
The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors and will
terminate automatically when all of the shares reserved for issuance under the
Plan have been issued. The Board of Directors may amend the terms of the Plan
at any time or from time to time, although provisions regarding the amount,
price or timing of Grants generally may not be amended more than once every six
months and certain other changes require shareholder approval, including
changes which would materially increase the benefits accruing to Plan
participants, materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock which
may be issued under the Plan or materially modify the Plan's eligibility
requirements.
Required Vote. Approval of the Plan requires the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock and Series C ESOP Preferred
Stock, voting together as a single class, represented at the meeting, in person
or by proxy and entitled to vote. An abstention will have the same effect as a
vote against approval of the Plan. Broker non-votes will not be counted as a
vote for or against the approval of the Plan.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE NON-EMPLOYEE
DIRECTOR STOCK AWARD PLAN. PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE
SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY A DIFFERENT CHOICE IN THEIR PROXIES.
IV. APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders approve the Board's
appointment of the accounting firm of Ernst & Young as independent accountants
to audit the financial statements of the Corporation and its consolidated
subsidiaries for the year 1994. The firm has conducted the audits for the
Corporation for many years. If the appointment is not approved, the Board of
Directors will appoint another independent accounting firm to audit the
financial statements of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for
the year 1994 without further action by the shareholders.
Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be at the Annual Meeting and
to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Such representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement if they
desire to do so.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities & Exchange Commission, the
Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has furnished the
following report on executive compensation.
Role of Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent, non-employee
directors of the Company. As a matter of practice, the Compensation Committee
has supervised the development and implementation of the Company's compensation
plans and programs. As appropriate, the Committee has, with the assistance of
independent compensation consultants, initiated new or significantly changed
compensation policies as well as determined periodic measurements of overall
compensation for the purpose of more closely aligning the rewards to senior
managers with an increase in the value of the Corporation's stock.
The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board on compensation
actions involving senior management of the Corporation, including its executive
officers and Chief Executive Officer. In all instances, the Compensation
Committee, which meets at least three times each year, recommends what
compensation decisions are to be taken to the Corporation's full Board of
Directors which has final authority on such matters.
In addition to the senior managers whose compensation is specifically reviewed
by the Committee, a number of managers and other key employees of the
Corporation are eligible under the Corporation's Compensation programs to
receive incentive compensation and stock option awards. The Compensation
Committee monitors the policies that grant such compensation but specifically
reviews only grants and awards to the Corporation's senior management.
11
<PAGE>
Compensation Philosophy
Historically, salary ranges of senior managers have been set below the median
salary ranges of the labor markets in which the Corporation operates. These
salary ranges are validated by independent consultants who review the standards
of similar medium to large United States based industrial corporations.
Supplemental compensation policies, consisting of annual incentives and long-
term stock option programs are designed to provide senior managers with a total
compensation package that meets or exceeds industry averages only if well
defined business objectives, primarily based on earnings, are reached or
exceeded. In 1993, the primary goals were based on increased earnings per share
for incentive based awards and increased share value for stock option vesting
and awards.
Base Salary
In keeping with the Compensation Committee's philosophy, the base salary of
senior executives is set somewhat below the described median as determined by
market based surveys provided by an independent consultant and is further based
on the individual executive's performance, relevant experience and demonstrated
capabilities in meeting the requirements of the position. The Chief Executive
Officer's base salary was determined by the Committee's evaluating his
attainment of stated overall goals and targets for the Company and his
individual contribution and performance.
Supplemental Compensation
The Corporation's "Supplemental Compensation" program provides the opportunity
for annual incentive awards to its senior managers and executive officers,
including the Chief Executive Officer. Each year targeted goals are set by the
Compensation Committee and ratified by the Board of Directors and, if met, such
goals create a plan fund of a certain amount. The fund increases if the target
is exceeded, and reduces if the target is not met. If the minimum goal is not
achieved, there is no fund at all. In 1993, the targeted goal was based on a
projection by Company management of increased earnings of $1.06 a share (absent
any extraordinary event that increases or decreases that number). There would
have been no supplemental compensation fund if earnings of at least $.63 a
share had not been reached.
Each manager participating in the program is eligible to share in the fund
pursuant to pre-established percentages for their position. In 1993, these
targeted percentages for executive officers ranged from 30% to 80% for the
Chief Executive Officer. After year end, the Compensation Committee reviews
recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer for all executive officer
positions and makes a final recommendation as to the exact amount to be granted
each individual. The Committee makes an independent determination as to what
supplemental compensation should be recommended for the Chief Executive
Officer, and commencing in 1994, will make an independent determination
regarding the amount of supplemental compensation for the other four members of
the Executive Group, as well.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
The Long-Term Incentive Compensation for the Corporation's executive officers
is created with stock options. Periodic grants of stock options are made to
executive officers based on their position and on their contribution to the
long-term direction and success of the organization. The grant price is
regularly set at the average market share price on the day of the grant. Such
options have vested after a minimum of 6 months and been exercisable over a
period of 10 years from the date of grant. The basis for this program is
reviewed each year by the Compensation Committee.
In 1991, the Compensation Committee with assistance from an independent
consultant and the advice and participation of management, designed a new stock
option program for the Corporation's most senior officers, including the Chief
Executive Officer, keyed more dramatically to the price of the Corporation's
stock. The 1991 grants were substantially larger than previously awarded, but
certain unique conditions were placed upon them:
12
<PAGE>
--The exercise price of these options was set at $22 per share, approximately
50% above the price at which the Corporation's stock was then trading. Thus,
they would have had no value whatsoever until the Corporation's stock
increased by more than 50%.
--Further, the options had a vesting period of thirty-six months from the
date of grant. After vesting only 50% of the option may be exercised during
the subsequent 12 months, with no more than one-half of the proceeds payable
in cash. The remainder will be in shares which must be held for up to an
additional 24 months before they can be fully exercised.
--If the targeted price had not been reached by 1994, the number of options
would have been reduced by 10% each year thereafter. The exercise price of
$22 was reached on May 26, 1993, and at year end the price of the Company's
Common Stock was $29 per share.
On November 23, 1993, following the achievement of the $22 per share threshold
requirement of the 1991 grants, the Committee, with assistance from an
independent consultant and with the advice and participation of management,
presented a new stock option program, designed to set new goals for management
to enhance shareholder value. The program provided for grants of stock options
to senior executives of the Company at $24.125, the average listed price of the
Company's common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange on November 23,
1993. The options granted may not be exercised before January 1, 1997. Twenty-
five percent of the options granted under the program vested as of January 1,
1994. Thereafter, additional options granted will vest incrementally as the
market price for the stock rises. One hundred percent of the options will vest
only when the common stock of the Company attains a market price of $55 per
share.
The 1993 stock option program was designed to incentivize management to
increase shareholder value in a relatively short time frame. The program was
approved by the Board at its November 24, 1993 meeting upon recommendation from
the Committee and grants of stock options were awarded to executive officers.
1993 Results
The Committee determined that the target for 1993 Annual Supplemental
Compensation of $1.06 per share was exceeded.
In addition, the Committee considered the fact that Company management had
acquired the Sealed Power Replacement Business and had successfully attained
the goal of integrating the TRW Worldwide Vehicular Aftermarket Business.
Therefore, at the February 8, 1994 meeting of the Committee, the Committee
recommended supplemental awards to the participating executives which reflected
achievement of over 100% of the stated goals, and the additional factors of the
successful purchase of the Sealed Power Replacement operation as well as the
management achievements in integrating the TRW automotive aftermarket business.
The Committee further determined that because of Mr. Gormley's leadership in
assisting the Company to achieve both the stated goals and additional long-term
targets, 49% of his cash compensation for fiscal 1993 would come from the
Supplemental Compensation Program.
New goals have been targeted for these same executives for 1994.

STOCK PERFORMANCE CHARTS
The graphs below compare the cumulative total shareholder return on the
Corporation's Common Stock for each of the Company's last five fiscal years and
the Company's last three fiscal years, respectively, with the cumulative total
return of the S&P Composite-500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones Total Return
Index-Automobile Parts and Equipment, excluding rubber and tire companies. Both
graphs assume a $100 investment made at the beginning of the respective period
and the reinvestment of all dividends.
The Company has included the three-year graph in addition to the required five-
year data to provide shareholders with a better means to assess the performance
of their management team in enhancing shareholder value. In February of 1991,
executive officers were granted performance stock options at a price of $22 per
share. The grant price was approximately 50% above the market price of Federal-
Mogul common stock on the date of the grant and the options vested only if the
$22 per share price was achieved within 36 months from the date of grant. The
three-year graph illustrates the intervening appreciation in the value of
Federal-Mogul common stock.

FEDERAL-MOGUL CORPORATION
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
STOCK AWARD PLAN
1. ESTABLISHMENT. Federal-Mogul Corporation ("F-M") hereby establishes
the Federal-Mogul Corporation Non-Employee Director Stock Award Plan (the
"Plan"), as set forth in this document.
2. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to enhance F-M's ability to
attract and retain the services of well-qualified directors who are not officers
or employees of F-M or any of its subsidiaries ("Non-Employee Directors") by
providing them with an opportunity to participate in the growth of F-M by
allocating a portion of their retainer to the F-M Common Stock, no par value
(the "Common Stock"), thereby more directly aligning the personal interest of
Non-Employee Directors with those of F-M's shareholders.
3. DURATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon approval of
the Board of Directors of F-M, conditional upon approval by F-M's shareholders
at the 1994 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, any Grant (as defined in Section 6.2
hereof) made hereunder prior to approval of the Plan by F-M's shareholders at
the 1994 Annual Meeting of Shareholders shall be conditioned upon receipt of
such approval. The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by action of
the Board of Directors or until all of the shares issuable under the Plan have
been issued, whichever occurs first ("Termination"). No Grants shall be made
after Termination of the Plan and any Grants which are outstanding at the time
of Termination shall remain unaffected by the Termination.
1
<PAGE>
4. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of
Directors, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan. The Board shall
have the full power, discretion and authority to interpret and administer the
Plan in a manner which is consistent with the Plan's provisions. The Board,
however, shall have no authority, discretion or power to select the participants
in the Plan or determine the amount, price or timing of Grants.
5. SHARES ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 8, the total number of shares of F-M Common Stock which may be subjected
to Grants under the Plan shall not exceed 50,000. Shares to be issued under the
Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or authorized and issued shares of
Common Stock which have been reacquired by F-M. Shares of Common Stock that are
subject to a Grant and which are forfeited under Section 6.5 shall not again
become available for use under the Plan if the subsequent grant of such shares
would not be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
6. RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS.
6.1 Initial Grant. Each Non-Employee Director on the date this Plan is
approved by the Board of Directors shall be awarded 1,000 shares of Common Stock
as of such date subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 6.4
("Restricted Stock"). Each person who becomes a Non-Employee Director for the
first time thereafter shall be awarded 1,000 shares of Restricted Stock,
effective as of the date such person becomes a Non-Employee
2
<PAGE>
Director. Grants made pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be referred to herein
as "Initial Grants".
6.2 Elective Annual Grant. Each Non-Employee Director may make election
(the "Election") on an annual basis to receive the cash balance of his or her
annual retainer as a director in the form of an award of Restricted Stock (the
"Elective Grant"). An Election must be made in writing, must be delivered to
the Secretary of F-M no later than the last business day of the month during
which the annual meeting of shareholders of F-M is held and shall apply to the
retainer to be paid in respect of the term of office which began on the date of
such annual meeting. Any Election made by a Non-Employee Director pursuant to
this Section 6.2 shall be irrevocable. The Initial Grant and Elective Grant are
hereafter referred to as the "Grants".
6.3 Date of Grant: Number of Shares. The Elective Grant shall be made on
the first business day that is at least six months and one day following the
last business day of the month during which the F-M Annual Meeting of
Shareholders is held. The total number of shares of Common Stock included in
each Elective Grant will be determined by dividing the amount of the Non-
Employee Director's retainer that is to be paid in Restricted Stock by the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the Grant. The fair
market value of the Common Stock shall be determined using the mean between the
highest and lowest sales prices of a share of Common Stock as reported on the
Consolidated
3
<PAGE>
Tape of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Grant. If the Common
Stock did not trade on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Grant, the
Common Stock will be valued at its fair market value as of the next preceding
day on which the Common Stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Any
resulting fractional shares shall be rounded, up or down, to the nearest whole
share.
6.4 Vesting of Grants. The transfer restrictions on twenty (20%) percent
of the shares subject to each Initial Grant shall lapse annually beginning on
the first anniversary of the Initial Grant. The transfer restrictions on
Elective Grants shall lapse six months and one day after the date of the
Elective Grant. No shares of Common stock subject to a Grant may be assigned,
sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which
the shares become vested. Each stock certificate representing shares subject to
a Grant shall be held in escrow by F-M until the transfer restrictions on such
shares lapse or shall bear a legend giving notice of the restrictions imposed
pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, the recipient of a Grant shall be entitled
to removal of the legend from the stock certificate representing such shares
when the transfer restrictions on such shares have lapsed.
6.5 Retention of Grants: Termination. In the event a Non-Employee
Director ceases to serve on the Board of Directors, the unvested portion of any
Grant shall be forfeited immediately, except where service ceases due to death,
total disability or retirement in which case the unvested portion of any Grant
shall
4
<PAGE>
immediately vest. Any unvested portion of a Grant is not subject, in whole or in
part, to attachment, execution or levy of any kind.
7. RIGHTS OF A SHAREHOLDER. Except as provided in Sections 4 and 6.5,
Non-Employee Directors shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to
all shares of Common Stock subject to a Grant (including voting and dividend
rights commencing on the date of the Grant. In the case of stock dividends, the
dividend shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions on
transferability and risk of forfeiture as the shares of Common Stock subject to
the Grant on which such stock dividend was paid.
8. CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL.
8.1 Capital Adjustment. In the event of any merger, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, or other change in corporate
structure affecting the Common Stock, an equivalent adjustment shall be made in
the aggregate number of shares which may be delivered under the Plan and the
number of shares subject to outstanding Grants (provided that the number of
shares subject to outstanding Grants (provided that the number of shares subject
to any Grant shall always be a whole number) so as to preserve, but neither
increase or decrease, the benefits available thereunder.
8.2 Change in Control. In the event of a "change in control" (as defined
below) of F-M, all Grants shall immediately be fully vested and nonforfeitable.
For purposes of the Plan, a "change in control" shall occur if any of the
following occur: (a) a tender offer shall be made and consummated for the
ownership of
5
<PAGE>
securities of F-M representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of F-M's
then outstanding voting securities, (b) F-M shall be merged or consolidated
with another corporation and as a result of such merger or consolidation less
than 75% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting
corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the former shareholders of F-M,
other than affiliates (as the term "Affiliate" ("Affiliate") is defined in Rule
12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act")) of any party to such merger or consolidation, (c) F-M shall sell all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation which is not a wholly-
owned subsidiary of F-M, or (d) any "person" (as the term "person" is defined
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial
owner" (as the term "beneficial owner" is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of F-M representing 20% or
more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of F-M.
For purposes of calculating this percentage, ownership of voting securities
shall take into account and include ownership as determined in accordance with
said Rule 13d-3.
9. AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board of Directors may terminate, amend or
modify the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that the
provisions set forth in the Plan regarding the amount, price or timing of the
Grants may not be amended more than once every six months, other than to comport
with changes in the Internal Revenue Code or the rules thereunder.
6
<PAGE>
Further, the Board of Directors shall not, without the requisite affirmative
approval of the shareholders of F-M, make any amendment which requires
shareholder approval under any applicable law, including Rule 16b-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
10. COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 16B-3. It is intended that the Plan be applied
and administered in compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. If any
provision in the Plan would cause the Plan or any transaction thereunder not to
comply with Rule 16b-3 if applied as written, such provision shall not have
effect as written and shall be given effect only to the extent that such effect
does not result in noncompliance with Rule 16b-3, as determined by the Board of
Directors.
11. SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. F-M may impose such other restrictions
on any shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to this Plan as it may deem
advisable including, but not limited to, restrictions intended to achieve
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the requirements of
any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed, and with any Blue
Sky or state securities laws applicable to such Common Stock.
12. GOVERNING LAW. All determinations made and actions taken pursuant to
the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and construed in
accordance therewith.

3. Plan Formulae.
-------------
a. EXECUTIVE GROUP EMPLOYEES. Prior to April 1, 1994 for 1994
calendar year awards, prior to December 31, 1994 for 1995 calendar year awards
and prior to December 31 of each succeeding calendar year, the Compensation
Committee shall establish the annual performance goal targets under the Plan for
Executive Group Employees. The performance goal targets must be objective and
substantially uncertain to be met at the time that they are set and shall be
based on one or more of the following criteria: earnings per share; return on
investment; return on equity; cash flow and specified increases in
productivity. Once set by the Compensation Committee, the annual performance
goal targets shall be ratified by the Board. No Executive Group Employee's
annual award may exceed three times his annual base salary for the calendar year
immediately preceding the calendar year of the award. Although the Compensation
Committee does not have the authority to change the criteria on which the
performance goals are based without shareholder approval, it shall have the
authority to change the targets on an annual basis.
b. ADVISORY BOARD EMPLOYEES. The Compensation Committee shall
establish a Plan formula each year not later than March 31 to determine the
amount available for awards to Advisory Board Employees who are not also
Executive Group Employees. The formula for the Advisory Board Employees shall
contain a profit objective (the "Standard Return") expressed as a Return on
Beginning Equity for that year. Once the Advisory Board formula has been
established by the Compensation Committee, it must be submitted, together with
the (i) current
3
<PAGE>
proposed Return on Beginning Equity objective, (ii) associated maximum award
amount, and (iii) schedule of maximum award amounts for returns greater or
lesser than such objectives, to the Board for approval.
c. MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES. The Management Committee shall
establish a Plan formula each year not later than March 31 to determine the
amount available and the amount to be paid for awards to Management Employees.
Board approval is not required for the Management formula.
d. AWARDS ADJUSTMENT. Neither the Compensation Committee nor
the Management Committee shall be obliged to make awards totalling the full
amounts that their formulae produce. Any unused portion may, except to the
extent otherwise directed by the Committee, be carried forward and may be
available in a future year or years.
4. ELIGIBILITY.
-----------
a. Employees who make significant contributions to the success
of the Corporation, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee in the
case of Executive Group and Advisory Board Employees, and in the sole discretion
of the Management Committee in the case of Management Employees, shall be
eligible for consideration for Plan awards.
b. Consideration may be given to recommendations of awards to
individuals who do not meet the foregoing eligibility requirements but who have
made unusual contributions to the success of the Corporation during the year or
are regarded as outstanding candidates for greater responsibilities in the
future.
c. In the event employment ceases during the year for any
reason other than misconduct, dishonesty, or insubordination, or if an Employee
has been on a leave of absence during the year, he may be considered for an
award, the amount of which shall depend upon his contribution during the year to
the success of the Corporation.
5. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN. Full power and authority to construe,
interpret and administer the Plan shall be vested in the Compensation Committee,
except to the extent such power and authority are otherwise herein specifically
given to the
4
<PAGE>
Management Committee. Either the Management Committee or the Compensation
Committee may alter any determination it has made under Section 3 before awards
are paid for any year, provided that such administrative action would further
the purposes of the Plan and that Board approval is obtained for Compensation
Committee actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, awards to Executive Group
Employees only may be reduced, in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code.
These adjustments shall include, but are not limited to:
a. adjusting either or both of the Committees' respective (i) profit
objectives, and (ii) Plan formulae, which had been determined for that year as
provided in Section 3 of the Plan, and
b. adding to or subtracting from the amount available for awards under
the formulae for that year such sum or sums as the respect Committees may
determine.
6. Recommendation for Awards. The Compensation Committee and Management
Committee shall have sole discretion with respect to the determination of their
respective awards, except that awards to Advisory Board Employees must be
approved by the Board, and awards to Executive Group Employees must be ratified
by the Board. Recommendations for Advisory Board and Management Employee awards
shall be made to both Committees by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation under such procedures as may be prescribed by the Committees.
However, the Chief Executive Officer shall not make a recommendation with
respect to himself or the other members of the Executive Group. The awards for
the Chief Executive Officer and the other Executive Group Employees shall be
determined by the Compensation Committee, subject to ratification by the Board.
7. Form and Payment of Awards. Awards to Advisory Board and Management
Employees shall be made when it can be determined with reasonable certainty that
there are or shall be sufficient amounts available under the provisions of
Section 3 of the Plan. Awards to Executive Group Employees shall be made only
when the Compensation Committee has certified that the performance goal targets
have been attained. Awards shall be made in cash and shall be payable in a lump
sum.
All awards shall be paid from the general funds of the Corporation and no
special or separate fund shall be established and no other segregation of assets
shall be made to assure the payment of awards hereunder. An Employee shall have
no right, title, or interest whatever in or to any investments which the
Corporation may make to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder. Nothing
contained in this instrument,
<PAGE>
and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to
create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Corporation
and an Employee or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a
