This agreement has been made and entered into this 13^th day of August 2007, by and between the Wichita Falls Plant, Warner Electric LLC. Wichita Falls, Texas, hereafter referred to as the “Company”, and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, and Aeronautical Industrial District Lodge 776, Local Lodge 2771, hereafter referred to as the “Union”.

The purpose of this agreement is to set forth terms and conditions of employment, to prevent interruptions of work and interference with the efficient operations of the Company’s business, to secure fair and prompt disposition of grievances, to establish satisfactory working conditions, hours of work and wages for employees covered by the agreement, and generally to promote sound labor-management relations.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS

Article 1
Recognition

1.1 The Company recognizes the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, and Aeronautical Industrial District Lodge 776, Local Lodge 2771 as the sole authorized representative for the purpose of collective bargaining with respect to rates of pay, hours of employment, and other conditions of employment for all employees generally engaged in the manufacturing, maintenance, and production at the Wichita Falls Plant, located at 2800 Fisher Road, Wichita Falls, TX. 76302

This agreement does not cover supervisory forces as defined by the laws of the United States, nor does it include office clerical employees, office janitors, technical employees, drafters, drafting room employees, a Working Supervisor on the second shift and one on the third shift as defined in paragraph 1.3 of this article, and accounting employees or outside service personnel.

1.2 The term employee or employees when used in this agreement shall refer to those employees within the bargaining unit employed by Wichita Falls Plant located at 2800

Page 3 of 64

Fisher Road, Wichita Falls, TX. 76302

1.3 The provisions of this agreement shall not prevent supervisors from performing work when necessary in the performance of their regular duties. However, except for the second and third shift-working supervisors, it shall be considered a violation of this agreement for any supervisor to perform work covered by the agreement, which takes more than twenty (20) percent of his/her time on any day or any one shift. Except for the second and third shift working supervisors, in no event shall the supervisors be permitted to continue for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive days, except when bargaining unit people are not available to do the work due to reasons beyond the Company’s control.

The Company may have a working supervisor on the second and third shifts until there are ten (10) bargaining unit people on second shift, and five (5) bargaining unit people on third shift, at which time they will become full time supervisors and subject to the limitations above.

The second and third shift working supervisors shall be permitted to perform bargaining unit work, but not to exceed twenty (20) hours per week excluding the staging of parts and unplanned absences. Overtime work performed when all qualified employees on such shift have been offered the overtime assignment shall also be excluded from the twenty (20) hour limitation.

1.4 Non-bargaining unit employees shall have the right to set up automatic machines in the plant; and may spend a reasonable amount of time in the introduction of any new technology in the plant; and, in the case of supervisors, the time consumed in doing this shall not be considered in arriving at the twenty (20) percent.

Article 2
Management Rights

All rights of management not specifically limited by the provisions of other articles of this agreement are retained by the Company, including, but not limited to, the right to plan, direct, and control all the operations or services to be performed; to assign and transfer employees; to schedule the working hours; to hire and promote; to demote; to suspend, discipline or discharge for just cause; to relieve employees from duty because of lack of work or for other legitimate reasons; establish, revise and enforce shop rules and

regulations; to introduce new job classifications, methods, materials, equipment or facilities; to establish and revise appropriate machine speeds and feeds and other job specifications; to establish and enforce production standards; to determine the process of manufacturing and assembling; to decide and determine all matters affecting designing and engineering; to determine and control all materials, semi-manufactured and/or finished products which may be incorporated in the products manufactured; to determine the price at which the products of the Company may be sold; to determine which products to manufacture; to determine the location of the work force; and to determine any other policy or practice which is customarily or usually left to management of a Company.

The Company shall also have the right to establish, maintain, and enforce reasonable rules and regulations to maintain order and efficiency in its plants, it being understood and agreed that such rules and regulations shall not be discriminatory nor inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall furnish the Union with a written copy of all such rules and regulations and all changes therein. Except when health and safety of employees create an emergency requiring sooner effort, changes in existing rules and regulations, as well as new rules and regulations promulgated by the Company, shall not become effective until three (3) work days after copies thereof have been furnished to the Union and posted on the Company’s bulletin boards. The Company reserves the right to add, delete, or amend any rule and regulation at such time as is necessary to maintain proper Company policies and employee relations.

Article 3
No Strike — No Lockout

3.1 No Strike — The Union agrees that during the life of this Agreement there shall be no work stoppage, shutdown, or strikes of any nature. The grievance and arbitration procedure shall be the sole means of settling contract disputes between the employees and/or the Union and the Company. Provided however, that the restriction against strikes and lockout activity as set forth in this Article shall not apply to the Company or the Union if the other party refuses to abide by an arbitrator’s lawful award rendered in accordance with this Agreement. An employee who aids, assists, or participates in any interruption of production during the life of this Agreement shall be subject to immediate dismissal from the employ of the Company.

3.2 No Lockout — The Company agrees not to lockout employees during the life of this Agreement. A layoff or shutdown for business reasons (including taking inventory) shall

Page 5 of 64

not be construed as a lockout.

Article 4
No Discrimination

4.1 The Company and the Union recognized their respective responsibilities concerning Presidential Executive Orders and Federal and State Legislation regarding Equal Employment Opportunity requirements.

4.2 In recognition of the practical and moral values of these responsibilities, the parties hereby affirm these commitments not to discriminate because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap, age, ancestry, or having been a Vietnam Veteran.

4.3 The Company and the Union mutually agree not to discriminate against any employee because of membership or non-membership in the Union. The Company recognizes and will not interfere with the rights of the employee to become a member of the Union and will not coerce or intimidate such employees from becoming members of the Union. The Union agrees it will not solicit employees to become members of the Union on Company time, and it further agrees it will not in any way seek to coerce or intimidate employees into joining the Union at any time.

4.4 Any reference in this Agreement or other documents executed by the parties, relating to employees of either sex shall be considered as being equally applicable to employees of both sexes.

Article 5
Hours of Work & Overtime

5.1 Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed as an obligation on the part of the Company to employ any person or persons for any definite period of time. The provisions of this article shall not be construed as a guarantee of any number of hours of work per day or per week, nor as a limitation upon the Company’s right to schedule more or less hours per day or week as in it’s judgment the operations of the plant requires. Overtime shall not be paid more than once for the same hours worked and hours for which an overtime

Page 6 of 64

premium is paid shall not be used in computation made for the purpose of determining whether premiums are to be paid for other hours. There shall be no pyramiding of overtime premiums.

5.2 The normal workweek shall consist of five (5) consecutive workdays, Monday through Friday. The normal workday shall consist of eight (8) consecutive hours excluding a one-half (1/2) hour unpaid lunch period.

5.3 For payroll purposes, the workweek shall be a seven (7) consecutive day period starting at 11:00pm on Sunday. For payroll purposes, the workday shall be the twenty-four (24) hour period beginning at 12:01 A.M. each day. All employees covered by this agreement shall be paid weekly and the Company agrees not to withhold more than one (1) week’s pay.

5.4 The Company shall have the right from time to time to adjust the normal shift starting times by department between 6:00am and 8:00am for the first shift, between 2:30pm and 4:30pm for the second shift and between 10:00pm and 12:00am for the third shift. When all employees in a department are not affected by a change in shift hours, the Company will first solicit volunteers.

5.5 Scheduled starting and quitting times for employees accepting daily overtime assignments shall be at the discretion of the Company.

5.6 Distribution of Overtime. Both parties agree that it is fair to make every reasonable effort to divide overtime work, so far as practical within each job classification, department and shift based upon the qualifications of the employee to perform such work without displacing the employees normally performing that work during the normal work week. Saturday and Sunday will not be construed as part of the normal workweek except in the case of mandatory overtime. An employee wishing to be removed from the voluntary overtime offer list can request an Overtime Refusal Form from his Supervisor. After completing and turning said form in to his Supervisor, the employee will not be asked for overtime until such time that employee requests to be asked, in writing, to their Supervisor. As the employee’s name comes up on the overtime roster they will be charged as refused overtime.

The Company shall require each supervisor to keep a record of each employee working under his direction who is offered overtime and does not work the overtime offered. The Company shall maintain overtime records by department, classification and shift. As an

Page 7 of 64

individual’s name comes up on the overtime tally, he will be charged such overtime, whether or not he accepts the assignment. Employees absent from work and receiving pay from the Company will not be charged for overtime hours. Sickness, Accident and Workers Compensation excluded. Employees can only be charged overtime hours for the number of hours offered to them. The shop committee shall at all reasonable times have access to overtime records, and will be given a copy upon request. Hires, rehires, or employees who change job classifications or shifts shall be assigned the average hours charged to the employee already in the classification, department, and shift. It is understood that beginning with the effective date of this agreement and each contract anniversary thereafter, all overtime records will be reset to zero.

Every effort will be made to make overtime assignments outside of departments to qualified employees lowest on the overtime tally, but only after department and shift requirements have been met. Overtime worked in other job classifications, departments, or shifts shall be charged to the employee on the overtime record.

5.7 It is agreed that in the event of change in the starting or ending time of a shift, the Company will notify the affected employees in such department during the preceding shift of such change. When the Company changes the scheduled report time for the beginning of a shift and the first day of the work week results in the starting time of the new week overlapping into the last day of the previous work week nothing in this article is to be construed to require the Company to pay overtime because of this overlap. Provided further however, if at the start of a new work day at 12:01 A.M. and an employee is already working, and at that time is being paid an overtime rate by reason that he had worked in excess of eight (8) hours or ten (10) hours during the work day immediately preceding, he shall continue to receive the appropriate overtime rate and not have pay reduced because of the advent of the new work day. For pay purposes a new work day will be established only after the employee leaves the premises. When a department or part of a department is scheduled to work on Saturday the employees involved will be notified, in all cases possible, before the end of the shift on Thursday. Thereafter changes necessary will be made as soon as practical. Employees will not be charged for any weekend overtime hours refused if the hours were offered after the end of their shift on Thursday. Employees may refuse daily and Saturday overtime, provided however that in the event no qualified employee(s) accepts such overtime work, qualified employees in that job classification, department, and shift affected having the least overtime charged shall work the assigned overtime. As an option, qualified employees as determined by the Company in other classifications and on the same shift may be assigned the overtime assignment. Employees may refuse overtime on Holidays and on Sunday.

Employees failing to work accepted weekend overtime hours will be subject to Plant Rule # 43.

Page 8 of 64

To provide opportunity for others to work in the place of employees who may not desire to do so, an employee when contacted about working overtime shall give a “Yes” or “No” answer within thirty (30) minutes. Employees will not be charged for any overtime hours refused if the hours were offered within the final one half hour of their shift.

5.8 Overtime Premium (1 1/2) Overtime Premiums of time and one-half (1 1/2) of the straight time hourly rate shall be paid as follows:

A.	For all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours in any one (1) workday.
B.	For all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in anyone (1) workweek.
C.	For all hours worked by an employee on Saturday in any workweek.

5.9 Double-time Premium (2) Overtime premiums of two (2) times the straight time hourly rate shall be paid as follows:

A.	For all hours worked by an employee on Sunday in any workweek.
B.	For all hours worked in excess of ten (10) hours in any one (1) workday.
C.	For all hours worked on days defined as Holidays under this Agreement, except when such hours are part of a shift commencing on the one day and carrying over into the Holiday.

Article 6
Seniority

6.1 The term “seniority” as used in this contract is hereby defined as the length of an employee’s continuous service with the Company dating from his last date of hire. When two (2) or more employees have the same seniority date, this seniority shall be determined by a toss of a coin. The Chairman of the Grievance Committee shall be given an updated plant-wide seniority list of employees upon request at least every six months.

Page 9 of 64

6.2 Probationary Period. A new employee, including an employee who is rehired after a break in continuity of service with the Company, shall be regarded as a probationary employee until he has completed two (2) months of service with the Company following the day of his last date of hire. During the probationary period an employee may be discharged for any cause whatsoever and shall have no recourse or right to grieve against such discharge. Upon successful completion of the probationary period, the employee shall have seniority status and will be considered a seniority employee.

6.3 Loss of Seniority. The seniority status and continuous service of an employee shall be terminated for any of the following reasons:

A.	Resigns, quits, or retires.
B.	Discharged for just cause.
C.	Absent due to layoff for a period not to exceed the length of service at the time of layoff, or two (2) years, whichever is less.
D.	Fails to respond to a recall from layoff within seventy-two (72) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays) following the date of receipt of notice of recall. Notice by the Company shall be sufficient if given by certified mail, return receipt requested, and sent to the employee’s last known address. Recalled employees who intend to return to work must contact the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee within a three (3) day period to make his intentions known to the Company. Such employee may have five (5) additional days if he has been reemployed and the employer requires a quit notice. Evidence of the need for this five (5) day extension may be required. Such employees who fail to report by the end of the time period will be removed from the seniority roster.
E.	Absence due to sickness or injury including on the job injuries as follows:

Seniority at Time of Illness or Injury	Time Limit
Less than six (6) months	Three (3) months
Six (6) months but less than one(1) year	Six (6) months

F.	Fails to report to work following the conclusion of an approved leave of absence or vacation.
G.	Fails to report or contact the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee within one (1) workday after having been released from the doctor, provided however a reasonable amount of time for reporting to work will be given if unusual circumstances exist and the employee has contacted the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee.

6.4 Departments as currently constituted are:

07 Assembly
30 Mesur-Fil Cell
44 Machine Shop
54 Maintenance
81 Shipping/Receiving/Warehouse
00 Helper

6.5 In all cases of promotion, permanent transfer, layoffs, and recalls of employees who have been laid off because of lack of work, the following factors shall be considered:

A.	Seniority
B.	Ability and qualifications to perform the work skillfully and efficiently.

When factor B. is relatively equal, seniority shall govern.

6.6 Bidding. When the Company establishes a new job and/or determines that a permanent vacancy exists in a job classification other than Group Leader, Journeyman or Helper, the resulting job vacancy will be filled in accordance with the following section:

A.

When a permanent job vacancy exists, notice of such jobs will be posted on the main bulletin boards for three (3) working days (72 hours) not including Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. The posting will set forth the date posted, time posted, job title, number of openings, shift, and the rate range for the job. A permanent job vacancy will exist when a job is expected to be needed for a period of at least sixty (60) consecutive calendar days.

B.

During the three (3) days that a job is posted, eligible bidders must contact the

Page 11 of 64

Human Resources Department to have their name placed into consideration for the jobs. Employees who are on vacation may contact the Human Resources Department prior to leaving on vacation and file a written advanced bid. The advanced bid will only be good for the specific job classification that the employee indicated on his advanced bid.

Eligible bidders are employees who have completed their probationary period prior to the posting of the job and who have not been a successful bidder for the last six (6) months. This six (6) month restriction shall be reduced to sixty (60) days only for the purposes of shift bids within the employee’s existing job classification.

6.7 Job Bidding Award. Each job will be awarded in accordance with seniority and ability and qualification to perform the job skillfully and efficiently as described earlier in this article, however, in the following sequence:

A.	First preference for a vacancy shall be given to the eligible bidder within the same classification and department regardless of shift.
B.	Second preference for a vacancy shall be given to the eligible bidder within the same department but in a different classification, and or shift.
C.	Third preference for a vacancy shall be given to the eligible bidder from any other department, classification, and or shift.

     When qualifications are equal seniority shall govern.

No employee shall be awarded any job unless the minimum job requirements have been met.

Minimum requirements are basically defined as education and/or experience sufficient to learn and perform the defined duties of the specific classification. The purpose is to teach the skills of the job and not the basics necessary to understand them.

A time limit for announcing a job award after closing the bids will be fourteen (14) calendar days; but should extenuating circumstances arise, vacations, shift differences, etc. and should this be required, the Chairman of the Shop Committee will be notified.

Journeyman positions are not posted, but any employee wishing to request a Journeyman Classification will be required to submit a Journeyman Request Form to their supervisor. After having received said form, the supervisor will give an answer in writing, of approved, denied, or show proficiency, to the requester. The answer shall be given within fourteen

Page 12 of 64

(14) calendar days or the request will be considered approved.

A time of up to sixty (60) calendar days will be given to arrange for the testing of any discrepancies (Special arrangements may be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Union to allow for showing of proficiencies by employees.) After being approved for the Journeyman Classification an employee will have a sixty (60) day trial period for this classification. If an employee fails to perform skillfully and efficiently they will be moved back to their prior classification.

Only one request may be submitted in any six (6) month period. Requests for the training to achieve this classification will be accepted, but will be provided as workloads permit or by special arrangements agreed upon by the Company and the Union.

Helper positions are not posted when an opening is deemed by the Company to exist. Should an employee desire a helper job, the employee should make a request in writing to the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee for consideration.

In the event that the Company is unable to fill the vacancy pursuant to the provisions of the bidding procedure, the Company may fill the vacancy by offering it to other employees or by hiring a new employee. A vacancy that remains unfilled for three (3) months shall be considered cancelled. However, should an applicant be offered a job prior to the expiration date but report to work after, it shall not be deemed a violation of the agreement. Also vacancies that are being held awaiting trainees to finish school are not subject to this provision.

Employees that are awarded jobs and are unable to perform them skillfully and efficiently shall be removed from the job classification. They will be placed in their previous job classification if placement is made within two (2) months of the job award. This shall not apply for any reasons except where employees are unable to perform skillfully and efficiently. Provided further however, both parties agree that employees are required to continually perform skillfully and efficiently in their job classification.

An employee who has been awarded a job will be moved into the job on a Monday following the award as soon as it is practical for the Company to do so. If it is not practical for the Company to transfer the employee to the awarded job within fourteen (14) working days after it has been awarded, the employee will be officially transferred with a rate adjustment if appropriate and then temporarily loaned to his old job until he can be replaced.

When an employee is awarded a job from one job classification to another job classification he shall take all of his seniority to the new job classification.

Page 13 of 64

6.8 Layoff. In the event of a reduction in the working force of a job classification, employees working within the job classification, department, and shift affected shall be displaced in reverse order of seniority.

A. Employees displaced in accordance with this section may elect to be laid off, or in the alternative, shall bump other least senior employees as follows:

1.

The displaced employee shall bump the least senior employee working in the same job classification and department on another shift. If there is no one to bump, then,

2.

He shall bump the least senior employee regardless of shift in an equal rated job classification in any department provided he has successfully held such job with the Company for a period of not less than three (3) months (the classification of the employee to be bumped). A ten (10) working day trial period will not be required if the classification had been held as stated. If not successful above, the displaced employee shall be given an opportunity to bump a less senior employee in any department or classification in which they have the ability to perform the minimum duties of that job. If there is a dispute as to employee’s ability to perform the job, it will be resolved by the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative, Committee Chairman and employee prior to the bump. If the bump is allowed, a ten (10) working day trial period will be given and if the employee fails to demonstrate to the Company the ability to perform the job they shall then relinquish all rights to any other bumping option other than a less senior employee in the helper classification.

B.	In no event will an employee be allowed to bump upward.
C.	The Company shall give at least seven (7) calendar days notice to employees that are to be laid off, provided however that this applies only to the original employee(s) and not to employees that may be bumped as a result of the announced layoff. The Union will be given a list of the original employees to be laid off and also a list of successive laid off employees.
D.	Employees who leave the Company area after being told of the layoff without making their bumping plans known to their supervisor or the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative will be considered to have elected to be placed on layoff and that they will not exercise bumping.
E.	When an employee terminates for any reason, or when an employee requests tools

Page 14 of 64

to be removed from Company premises, that portion of the tools that are being purchased on a payroll deduction basis by the employee will be released only to the extent that the tools have been paid for by the person. If only a portion of the tools have been paid for at layoff or termination, only that portion of the tools may be removed from the Company premises.

6.9 Recall. An employee who is laid off from his/her original job due to a reduction in force will be placed on a list for recall maintained by job classification and department in seniority order for a period not to exceed the length of service at the time of layoff, or two (2) years, whichever is less. Benefits will be reinstated the first (1^st) of the month after recall.

In the event that a job within a classification, department, and shift needs to be filled after a reduction in force, the senior eligible employee as defined in Article 6.8 “Layoff”, section A, paragraph 2, will be recalled first.

If an employee who has bumped to another job is a successful bidder, he loses all rights to his original job before the layoff.

An employee may not elect to remain on a job that was gained by bumping if he is recalled to his original job unless there is no one to be recalled, and he would not be blocking the return of a laid off employee.

At the time of the notice of layoff, if an individual elects not to bump, but accepts layoff instead, he shall have the right to return to his last level job or any higher rated job he previously held when recall occurs. He shall have no other recall rights.

6.10 Five Day Transfers. The parties recognize that from time to time disruptions caused by but not limited to the following: Absenteeism, vacations, shortages of materials, critical customer order, meeting delivery dates may necessitate the transfer of employees from their regular jobs to other jobs, on a temporary basis. First, qualified volunteers (as determined by the Department Manager) will be accepted by the Company and if additional employees are needed, then the employees will be selected with due regard to their seniority status. The parties recognize that seniority is a factor for consideration when a temporary transfer is to be made; however, the parties also recognize that from a practical point of view because of numerous such transfers necessary for efficient operation, seniority may not always be accommodated.

The five (5) day limitation shall not apply to a temporarily transferred employee who has replaced an employee who is absent or on light duty until the replaced employee returns to full duty. This period of time also does not apply when employees temporarily fill jobs

Page 15 of 64

that the Company is in the process of filling permanently by job posting or recall from layoff.

Helper classified employees can be temporarily transferred for a maximum of sixty (60) days where there is no working employee present. Qualified transferred helpers (as determined by the Department Manager) will receive payment equal to the minimum rate of the classification of the employee normally performing the work. Unqualified transferred helpers (as determined by the Department Manager) will be considered as “in training” and receive payment equal to the minimum rate of the lowest classification in that department. Once the transferred helper becomes qualified (as determined by the Department Manager) payment will be equal to the minimum rate of the classification of the employee being assisted or normally performing the work.

Employees temporarily transferred to other jobs will continue to receive their regular rate of pay or the minimum of the rate range, to which they are transferred, whichever is higher. In no event will the employee’s rate of pay be lowered while temporarily transferred.

6.11 Extended Transfers.

Employees may be temporarily transferred for a maximum of thirty (30) calendar days to any shift in order to complete special projects or start a new shift.

Employees may also be transferred, on a voluntary basis, to other departments for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days. In cases of equal qualifications, seniority will apply.

Employees temporarily transferred to other jobs will continue to receive their regular rate of pay or the minimum of the rate range, to which they are transferred, whichever is higher. In no event will the employee’s rate of pay be lowered while being extendedly transferred.

In all cases, the Union will be notified in advance of all such transfers.

6.12 Temporary Employees — The Company may hire one (1) temporary employee at a time to replace employees on vacation or medical leave of absence. The temporary employee could work only three (3) months each calendar year. The temporary employee would be paid the minimum rate of the classification of the employee they are replacing. The temporary employee shall not be eligible for any benefits provided in this agreement with the exception of scheduled holidays during their employment at the Company. Any exceptions to the above will be made by mutual agreement of the parties.

Article 7
Leave of Absence

7.1 Any employee covered by this agreement desiring a leave of absence on account of ill health, personal business or for any other good cause upon making application to the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee may be granted a leave of absence up to thirty (30) days and the Company may extend such leave upon request of the employee for good cause. Should any employee on leave of absence engage in any other employment he shall be terminated. A copy of all approved leaves of absence will be given to the Chairman of the Grievance Committee.

7.2 Local Union Business. For the purpose of attending conventions, conferences, meetings, and other usual and proper functions of the Union, a leave of absence without pay not to exceed two (2) weeks, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, shall be granted to Union members provided written request is made to the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee as far in advance as possible and not more than one employee from a single department is gone at the same time.

7.3 Employees who are appointed to non-bargaining unit jobs with the Company after August 14, 1983, and who the Company thereafter decides to reassign to the bargaining unit must be reassigned within one (1) year from the date of appointment to the non-bargaining unit position. Such a non-bargaining unit employee who does not return to the bargaining unit on or before the end of one (1) year will be credited only with the seniority accumulated prior to leaving the bargaining unit.

7.4 The Company and the Union agree to adhere to applicable Federal laws governing leaves of absence for employees on military service.

7.5 Employees with at least five (5) years of service who are selected or appointed to a full-time office of the Union shall, upon advance written notice, be granted a leave of absence not to exceed one (1) year. Such leave may be renewed provided a written request for the extension is submitted to the Company within thirty (30) days prior to the completion of each year of leave. Such employee will continue to accumulate only his seniority while on such leave and any economic benefits will not continue nor accrue during

Page 17 of 64

said absence. Not more than one employee shall be granted such leave of absence at a time.

Article 8
Grievance Procedures & Arbitration

8.1 Method of Adjusting Grievances. For the purpose of this Agreement, a grievance is defined as any dispute or difference of opinion between the Company and the Union or between the Company and any employee covered by this Agreement involving the meaning, interpretation, or application of the provisions of this Agreement. When an employee is suspended without pay, he must be discharged or reinstated by written notice to the employee and the Union within three (3) workdays after the first day of the suspension.

Step 2 — If the grievance is not settled in Step 1, and the Union desires to further appeal, a committeeman shall appeal in writing and give the grievance in person, not mailed, to the Department Manager within three (3) working days after the answer in Step 1 has been given. A meeting between the Department Manager and the Committeeman shall be held at a mutually agreeable time. The Department Manager shall give the Company’s written answer on the grievance to the Committeeman in person, not mailed, within three (3) working days following the meeting.

Step 3 — If the grievance is not settled in Step 2 and the Union desires to further

Page 18 of 64

appeal, the Chairman of the Grievance Committee shall appeal in writing and give the grievance to the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee in person, not mailed, within three (3) working days after the answer in Step 2 has been given.

The Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee shall contact the International Representative and a meeting to discuss the grievance shall be held at a mutually agreeable time. Within five (5) working days following the meeting the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee in person, not mailed, shall give the Company’s final written answer to the Chairman of the Grievance Committee.

If the grievance is not settled in Step 3 above and the Union desires to appeal the grievance to arbitration, the International Representative of the Union shall give written notice of the Union’s desire to arbitrate to the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee within five (5) working days of the date of the Company’s final answer in Step 3 above.

Such written notice shall identify the specific grievance appealed to arbitration and the specific section or sections of this Agreement allegedly violated. If the Company and the Union cannot agree to an arbitrator, the parties shall send a joint letter to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service requesting said agency to submit a list of five (5) arbitrators, specifying that such arbitrators be members of the National Academy of Arbitrators. Upon receipt of such list, the Union and the Company shall strike two names there from and the arbitrator whose name is not struck shall be deemed selected and a joint letter of selection shall be sent to that arbitrator. The party that strikes first will be determined by the Union’s Business Representative and the Company’s Representative In either case, the joint letter of selection shall identify the specific issue involved in the grievance and shall request that the arbitrator select a date for hearing subject to availability of Company and Union representatives.

The arbitrator shall only have the power and authority to interpret and apply the provision of this Agreement to the grievance presented and his decision shall apply only to the specific issue identified in writing to him. The arbitrator shall have no authority to alter, amend, modify, nullify, ignore, or add to the provisions of this Agreement. Copies of all arbitration awards shall be given to the Company and the Union. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Company, the Union and the employee or employees involved. The expenses of arbitration shall be shared equally by the Company and the Union. Other expenses incurred such as preparation of briefs and data to be presented to the arbitrator and furnishing of witnesses other than employees shall be borne separately by the respective parties.

8.2 Time Limits. No grievance shall be entertained or processed unless it is submitted to the Company, in writing within five (5) working days of the event giving arise to the grievance. Any grievance not appealed within the time limits set forth in each step of the grievance procedure shall be considered settled on the basis of the last answer given by the Company. Any grievance not entertained or processed by the Company within the time limits set forth in each step of the grievance procedure shall be considered settled on the basis of the last action requested by the Union within the confines of the current agreement. Either party may request of the other party a reasonable extension of the time limits as outlined in this section.

8.3 Grievance Investigation and Presentation. The Union shall furnish to the Company a certified list of elected officers and Committeemen. The Committeemen shall consist of not more than two (2) employees from the plant on the day shift.

One Committeeman may be named by the Union for other shifts when at least 8 bargaining unit people are employed on such shift. One of the above day shift Committeemen will be named by the Union as Chairman of the Grievance Committee. The Chairman of the Grievance committee shall be permitted to attend the second step of the grievance hearing if deemed necessary by them and a request is made in advance by the Chairman of the Grievance Committee to the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee.

It is the intent and desire of the Company and the Union that the investigation and discussion of grievances will be conducted in accordance with the grievance procedure set forth in this article and in a manner which minimizes lost time and interference with production. Committeemen shall not engage in solicitation of grievances and shall not leave their workstations without receiving permission from their immediate supervisors. Upon entering another department, they shall inform the supervisor of such department of the nature of their business. The Union agrees that the Company has the right to expect that supervisors will know the whereabouts of their employees throughout the day. Accordingly, employees and Committeemen must notify the supervisor prior to leaving their department or stopping work to discuss grievances. Permission to leave or stop working will not be unnecessarily withheld. But, critical production requirements may necessitate the rescheduling of discussion concerning grievances which do not demand immediate attention.

8.4 The Union will be provided with a copy of any disciplinary action issued to a bargaining unit employee within the shift that it was issued, or as soon thereafter as possible.

Page 20 of 64

8.5 Notwithstanding, anything herein or in the general body of labor law to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that any disciplinary action by the Company after the date hereof shall not be affected by the past practices of the Company or by any alleged prior inconsistent application of the Company’s rules, if prior to the date hereof.

8.6 In the event that the Company should discharge or suspend an employee during the time of this Agreement, and it is thereafter determined by agreement of the parties or in arbitration that such employee is entitled to compensation for the period of time (or any part thereof) after such action by the Company, then, in such case, the compensation due to such employee shall be reduced by the total of all accrued compensation earned and/or unemployment compensation received.

8.7 The Company agrees to continue the monthly meeting with the first shift Committeemen and the Plant Manager / Human Resources Representative or their Designee on the second Tuesday of each month. The date may be changed for each monthly meeting by mutual agreement between the Company and the Union.

8.8 All grievances including arbitration shall be handled during regular working hours without loss of time to the Committeeman or directly involved employees.

Mr. Paul Black
I.A.M. Committee

Reference: Sub-Contracting

During this contract negotiation, the subject of outside contracting and its current and potential effect on the workforce was discussed at length. Any arbitration decision rendered that covers a period of the previous contract will be honored, but this Letter of Intent will supersede any period of time hereafter.

The Company desires to assure the Union that we have every intent to stabilize the workforce for the job security of our employees. While it is impossible to guarantee employment, we fully appreciate the apprehension of the Union caused by the nature of our business.

The nature of our operations demands that we continue our present practice on sub-contracting. However, the Company will, during periods of layoff, meet with the Union upon its request once each month, with or without the necessity for a grievance, to discuss outside contracting with the objective of returning to normal employment levels as soon as practical, and to discuss the economies, lead times, or other necessary business reasons.

Considerations used when sub-contracting include the operational needs of the business, the efficiency and the economics involved, as well as any adverse effect upon the employment of our people, including those on layoff.

The Company is committed to the concept of stabilizing the workforce, and it is understood that in many instances it will be to our mutual advantage to utilize our own equipment and manpower first.

Reference: Cycle Counting

The parties have discussed the matter of cycle counting during these 2001 negotiations. While we know it would be desirable to assign the duties and responsibility to either bargaining unit people or non-bargaining unit people, it is not practical to do so at this time.

This is a function of a perpetual inventory control system. It is in the best interest of both parties to continue to share the responsibilities for physical inventory in the same spirit that we are mutually responsible for quality.

401(k) SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY/UNION EMPLOYEES

The Company established a Savings Plan for the bargaining unit employees of Warner Electric, Wichita Falls, Texas Plant. The Plan will be established and administered by the Company who will bear the fiduciary responsibility and the cost of its administration, arrange for a record keeper and trustee, produce and record all required reports filings and plan documentation, name a plan administrator, and arrange for audits as may be needed from time to time. It is understood and agreed that the Company through any communications that it may use to promote the plan, is not offering financial advice to any plan participant. A description of this plan is included herein, referred to as Addendum F.

OUTLINE OF SAVINGS PLAN PROVISIONS ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENT: All bargaining unit employees will be eligible to enroll in the Savings Plan after the completion of their probationary period, or the effective date of this plan, which ever is later. Enrollments for employees already on the payroll will be effective as soon as practical following their execution of the appropriate enrollment and authorization forms provided by the Company. Each participant who enrolls will be provided an account in their name.

CONTRIBUTIONS: Each eligible participant will be entitled to have withheld from their pay up to fifty percent (50%) of their gross pay on a pre-tax basis (under section 401-K of the Internal Revenue Tax Code), and up to ten percent (10%) of gross pay on an after-tax basis.

Page 47 of 64

in accordance with section 404(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. These options will be a least 1) a fixed income option, 2) a long-term bond fund, 3) an aggressive growth fund, 4) a money market fund, and 5) an intermediate growth stock fund. Participants will be allowed to reallocate their account balances between investment options at any time, unless specifically prohibited by the plan provisions. Reallocation of account balances will be in even dollar amounts only.

WITHDRAWALS: Withdrawals of a participant’s account balance will be available upon retirement, termination of employment with the company, death of a participant, total and permanent disability of the participant, or hardship. Hardship withdrawals will be determined based upon facts and circumstances in accordance with Internal Revenue Code. Each participant shall designate a beneficiary upon enrollment.

LOANS: Each participant will be able to take a loan of no more than one half of their account balance. Loans will be made in one hundred dollar ($100) increments not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00), and not to exceed current Internal Revenue Code limits. Loans will be repaid in no less than sixty (60) months, except for the purchase of a principle residence which will have an amortization period of not less than one hundred and twenty months (120) months, and at an interest rate set at the origination of the loan. Interest rates will be one percent (1%) above the prime rate in effect on, and published in the Wall Street Journal on the first day of each calendar quarter. A participant will have no more than one outstanding loan at any time. Each Participant will pay to the record keeper, out of the proceeds of their loan, a loan origination fee not to exceed thirty-five ($35), and an annual loan maintenance fee not to exceed twenty dollars ($20). Any participant who fails to make a loan repayment in any three-month period, or who fails to pay back the entire loan balance within the loan amortization period, will be in default of the loan. Upon default of a loan the record keeper will issue a 1099 form in the amount of the remaining loan balance. A participant who defaults on a loan will be barred from any further loan eligibility.

INFORMATION AND STATEMENTS: Participants will be provided a statement of their accounts twice per year. The Company will undertake reasonable efforts to establish a phone access for all participants with the record keeper as soon as possible after the implementation of the plan. The phone system will offer at least a toll-free phone number (pending availability of toll free numbers) with the ability to inquire account balance and originate loans.

APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS: In all cases of the taxable nature of compensation and plan provisions, applicable Federal, State and Local Laws will apply regardless of plan provisions to the contrary. The Company will arrange for all tests required by the Internal Revenue Code and will be empowered to take any corrective action to participant’s accounts and or contributions that may be required within the scope of the applicable Code provisions.

Letter of Intent
2^nd Shift

This agreement has been made and entered into this 13th Day of August, 2007, by and between the Wichita Clutch Company, and the IAM, Local Lodge 2771. It is the intent of this letter that only the amended articles listed below will be affected. Furthermore this letter will cover only second shift employees at Wichita Clutch Company.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREE AS FOLLOWS

Article 5
HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME

5.2 The normal workweek shall consist of four (4) consecutive workdays, Monday through Thursday. The normal workday shall consist of ten (10) consecutive hours excluding a one-half (1/2) hour unpaid lunch period.

5.3 For payroll purposes, the workweek shall be a seven (7) consecutive day period starting at 12:01 A.M. on Monday. For payroll purposes, the workday shall be the twenty-four — (24) hour period beginning at 2:01 A.M. each day. All employees covered by this agreement shall be paid weekly and the Company agrees not to withhold more than one (1) week’s pay.

5.4 The Company shall have the right from time to time to adjust the normal shift starting times by department between 2:30pm and 4:30pm. When all employees in a department are not affected by a change in shift hours, the Company will first solicit volunteers.

5.5 Scheduled starting and quitting times for employees accepting daily overtime assignments shall be at the discretion of the Company.

5.6 Distribution of Overtime. Both parties agree that it is fair to make every reasonable effort to divide overtime work, so far as practical within each job classification, department and shift based upon the qualifications of the employee to perform such work without displacing the employees normally performing that work during the normal work week. For the second shift only, Friday through Sunday will not be

Page 49 of 64

construed as part of the normal workweek except in the case of mandatory overtime.

5.7	It is agreed that in the event of change in the starting or ending time of a shift, the Company will notify the affected employees in such department during the preceding shift of such change. When the Company changes the scheduled report time for the beginning of a shift and the first day of the work week results in the starting time of the new week overlapping into the last day of the previous work week nothing in this article is to be construed to require the Company to pay overtime because of this overlap. Provided further however, if at the start of a new work day at 2:01 A.M. and an employee is already working, and at that time is being paid an overtime rate by reason that he had worked in excess of ten (10) hours or (twelve (12) hours during the work day immediately preceding, he shall continue to receive the appropriate overtime rate and not have pay reduced because of the advent of the new work day. For pay purposes a new workday will be established only after the employee leaves the premises. When a department or part of a department is scheduled to work on Saturday the employees involved will be notified, in all cases possible, before the end of the shift on Wednesday. Thereafter changes necessary will be made as soon as practical. Employees may refuse daily and Saturday overtime, provided however that in the event no qualified employee(s) accepts such overtime work, qualified employees in that job classification, department, and shift affected having the least overtime charged shall work the assigned overtime. As an option, qualified employees as determined by the Company in other classifications and on the same shift may be assigned the overtime assignment. Employees may refuse overtime on Holidays and on Sunday.
	Employees failing to work accepted weekend overtime hours will be subject to Plant Rule # 43.
	To provide opportunity for others to work in the place of employees who may not desire to do so, an employee when contacted about working overtime shall give a “Yes” or “No” answer within thirty (30) minutes. Employees will not be charged for any overtime hours refused if the hours were offered within the final one half hour of their shift.

5.8 Company Requested Overtime ( 1¹/2) Overtime Premiums of time and one-half (1¹/2) of the straight time hourly rate shall be paid as follows:

A.	For all hours worked in excess of ten (10) hours in any one (1) workday
B.	For all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in any one (1) workweek
C.	For all hours worked by an employee on Saturday in any workweek.

Page 50 of 64

5.9 Double-time Premium (2) Overtime premiums of two (2) times the straight time hourly rate shall be paid as follows:

A.	For all hours worked by an employee on Sunday in any workweek.
B.	For all hours worked in excess of twelve (12) hours in any one (1) workday.

Reference: Combining Departments

During the 2001 contract negotiations the discussion of promoting more cellular manufacturing was discussed. Some of the topics from that discussion were combining Department 20 and Department 30 to form more machining cells and better utilization of our equipment. There were also discussions of forming a Journeyman classification for that area. Although no decisions were made during the discussion, both parties agreed to leave this open for discussions during the term of the contract.

Plant Rules & Regulations

     All work places and businesses must have certain rules and regulations to enable the company to meet its overall goals and objectives without disruptions. Rules are established to benefit the employee and the company. Most employees working in industry today realize that one employee’s misconduct may harm the rest and they expect certain standards of conduct to be established and maintained.

     Disciplinary action must always be intended to train, correct, and strengthen employees in their jobs. Whether discipline is in the form of oral warnings, written warnings, suspension without pay, or discharge, these actions in so far as practical will be applied uniformly for the purpose of preventing recurrence of the cause of such action. They are not designed to humiliate or retaliate.

     A complete list of violations requiring disciplinary action probably is not possible to establish nor should it be necessary, as “common sense” should prevail between reasonable people. However, in an effort to better communicate with employees and to provide Supervisors with guidelines to go by, therefore causing more uniform application, the following general work rules and regulations are listed with the appropriate disciplinary action to be applied if violated.

     In all possible cases, the Company shall issue disciplinary notices within five (5) working days following the completion of its investigation; extensions can be made by mutual agreement between the Company and the Union.
