NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in Millions Except Per Share Amounts)

1.   In our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods have been included. Where appropriate, we have reclassified certain amounts in 1999 to conform to the 2000 presentation.
 
2.   In January 2000, we acquired the cardan-jointed propeller shaft business of GKN plc (GKN) and in July 2000, we acquired the automotive axle manufacturing and stamping operations of Invensys plc. These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and their results of operations have been included since the dates of acquisition. Goodwill relating to the acquisitions is included in investments and other assets.
 
3.   In January 2000, we sold the Gresen Hydraulics businesses in the United States (U.S.) and South America to Parker-Hannifin. We also sold certain portions of our constant velocity (CV) joint businesses to GKN. In February, we sold most of the global Warner Electric businesses to Colfax Corporation; in March, we sold Commercial Vehicle Cab Systems Group to an affiliate of Hidden Creek Industries, Inc. In September 2000, we sold the remaining 35% interest in our Brazilian CV joint operation to GKN. Proceeds from these divestitures totaled $562. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 includes an aggregate pre-tax gain of $179 and net income includes an after-tax gain of $108 from these transactions.

    The $130 deferred translation loss for the nine months of 2000 resulted primarily from an increase in the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro, the British pound and the Canadian dollar, net of the impact of the strengthening Brazilian real. The $184 deferred translation loss for the nine months of 1999 was primarily due to the devaluation of the Brazilian real and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against several European currencies.
 
6.   We are organized into seven Strategic Business Units (SBUs) encompassing our key markets: Automotive Systems Group (ASG), Automotive Aftermarket Group (AAG), Heavy Truck Group (HTG), Engine Systems Group (ESG), Fluid Systems Group (FSG), Off-Highway Systems Group (OHSG) and Dana Commercial Credit (DCC). Management evaluates the operating segments and regions as if DCC were accounted for on the equity method of accounting rather than on the fully consolidated basis used for external reporting. With the exception of DCC, operating profit after tax (PAT) represents earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), tax effected at 39% (Dana’s estimated long-term effective rate), plus equity in earnings of affiliates. The “Other” category includes discontinued businesses, trailing liabilities for closed plants, SBU and regional administrative expenses, interest expense net of interest income, corporate expenses and the adjustment to reflect the actual effective tax rate. In arriving at net profit from operating PAT, expenses relating to a specific SBU or region are applied directly. Other allocations are based on sales. Information used to evaluate the SBUs and regions is as follows:

    Restructuring and nonrecurring items represent after-tax gains on divestitures and charges related to our restructuring and integration efforts.
 
7.   In August 2000, we announced the closing of our facility in Reading, Pa. A nonrecurring charge of $52 was recorded for this closing, including $45 for termination benefits related to a workforce reduction of approximately 690 people. This charge had a $31 impact on third quarter earnings. We also incurred $17 of nonrecurring expenses in connection with our continuing efforts to integrate new warehouses into our Engine Controls Division (part of our AAG), reducing net income for the quarter by $12. Including the effect of our restructuring and integration efforts in the first half of the year, we have incurred $54 of restructuring and $49 of integration expenses in the first nine months of 2000, reducing net income by $65.
 
    At September 30, 2000, $125 of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities. This balance was comprised of $118 for termination benefits and $7 for lease terminations and other exit costs. We estimate that our cash expenditures will be approximately $35 in the fourth quarter of 2000, $27 in 2001 and $63 thereafter. Estimated workforce reductions of 126 remain to be completed, with most planned for the first quarter of 2001.
 
8.   In April 1999, the Board authorized the expenditure of up to $350 to repurchase shares of our common stock. At the beginning of 2000, there remained $250 from the original authorization. In February 2000, the Board authorized an additional $250 for repurchases through the end of 2000. During the first three quarters of 2000, we repurchased nearly 15,456,000 shares at a cost of $381.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(in millions except per share amounts)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Income from operations for the first nine months of 2000 – net income less the $110 of gains from divestitures – decreased by $205 versus the first nine months of 1999. Total depreciation and amortization for the first nine months was nearly unchanged. The increase in working capital in the first nine months was $223 in 2000 versus $522 in 1999, an improvement of $299. The most significant factor underlying the change in 1999 was the February 1999 termination of a $200 accounts receivable financing program that had been maintained by the former Echlin Inc. Excluding the impact of terminating this financing program, the change in working capital was $99 less than in the first nine months of 1999.

           

Cash Flows From Operations
For The Nine Months Ended
September 30

1998 $ 566

1999 302

2000 425

      Net cash used in investing activities during the first three quarters of 2000 of $417 represents a reduction of $386 over the same period in 1999. The proceeds from divestitures, net of acquisitions, accounted for $295 of the reduction, while efforts to curtail capital spending resulted in a $98 reduction in that line item. Changes in leasing and lending activities net to a $10 increase in outflows at DCC.

                   

Capital Expenditures

December 31 September 30

1998 $ 661 $ 454

1999 807 562

2000 605 * 464

* Projected

      Capital expenditures were $98 lower than in the first nine months of 1999. This decline was due in part to higher spending in 1999 for enterprise computer systems and Y2K issues. Efforts to curtail capital spending for the remainder of 2000 are expected to result in a decrease of approximately $200 for the year.

      Cash flows from financing activities in the first nine months of 2000 were $431 lower than in the same period in 1999. Net debt increased $544 during the first nine months of 2000 with activity at DCC accounting for nearly $290 of the net borrowing. The net increase in the comparable period last year was $654, including $1,000 from the issuance of long-term notes. In conjunction with our share repurchase program, we reacquired nearly 15,456,000 shares during the first nine months of 2000 at a cost of $381.

      Cash dividends paid thus far in 2000 are $12 lower than in 1999 due to the stock repurchase program.

      Committed and uncommitted bank lines enable us to issue commercial paper and make direct bank borrowings. Excluding DCC, we had committed and uncommitted borrowing lines of credit totaling $1,607 at the end of the third quarter of 2000, while DCC’s credit lines totaled $724. Based on our budgeting process, we expect our cash flows from operations and divestitures, combined with these credit facilities, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our currently anticipated debt service obligations, capital spending, potential acquisitions and, to the extent considered appropriate, the share repurchase program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      We have reviewed the liabilities that may result from the legal proceedings to which we were a party as of September 30, 2000, including those involving product liability claims and alleged violations of environmental laws. We do not believe that these liabilities or the related cash flows are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. Contingent environmental and product liabilities were estimated based on the most probable method of remediation or outcome, current laws and regulations and existing technology. Estimates were made on an undiscounted basis and exclude the effects of inflation. If there was a range of equally probable remediation methods or outcomes, we accrued at the lower end of the range.

      At September 30, 2000:

    $91 was accrued for contingent product liability costs and $39 for contingent environmental liability costs, compared to $96 and $45 at December 31, 1999
 
    $61 was recorded (as assets) for probable recoveries from insurance or third parties for product liability claims and zero for environmental liability claims, compared to $65 and $1 at December 31, 1999
 
    The difference between the minimum and maximum estimates for contingent liabilities, while not considered material, was $12 for the product liability claims and $3 for the environmental liability claims, identical to the ranges at December 31, 1999

Restructuring and Integration Expenses

      At December 31, 1999 there was $104 remaining in accrued liabilities relating to restructuring plans announced in 1997, 1998 and 1999. During the first nine months of 2000, we continued our restructuring and integration efforts, including the consolidation of our manufacturing and distribution assets in North America.

      The following summarizes the restructuring and integration activity recorded in the first nine months of 2000 and the change in the accrual:

Benefits Exit Costs Expenses Total

Cash payments (20 ) (13 ) (49 ) (82 )




Balance at September 30, 2000 $ 118 $ 7 $ $ 125




      At September 30, 2000, $125 of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities. This balance was comprised of $118 for termination benefits and $7 for lease terminations and other exit costs. We estimate that our cash expenditures will be approximately $35 in the fourth quarter of 2000, $27 in 2001 and $63 thereafter. Estimated workforce reductions of 126 remain to be completed, with most planned for the first quarter of 2001. We do not expect our liquidity and cash flows to be materially impacted by these actions.

Impact of Euro Conversion

      We have positioned our operations to deal with the common currency in Europe. We believe that all of our facilities are capable of complying with our euro conversion timetable and with customer requirements for quoting and billing in euro currency. Many of our European locations have converted and the remaining locations are planning to convert in the fourth quarter. We do not expect the cost to convert the remaining locations to the euro to be material.

Results of Operations (Third Quarter 2000 vs Third Quarter 1999)

      Worldwide sales decreased $272 in the third quarter of 2000 to $2,855, a 9% decline when compared to the third quarter of 1999. Excluding the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, sales decreased $155 or 5% during the quarter. Further excluding the $71 adverse impact of foreign currency fluctuations, our sales decreased $84 or less than 3%. Our U.S. sales declined $307 or 14% versus 1999. Excluding the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, U.S. sales were down $184 or 8%.

      Overall sales outside the U.S. rose $35 with $6 attributable to the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates since the third quarter of 1999 prevented further improvement, especially in Europe where strengthening of the dollar adversely affected sales by nearly $62 for the quarter. Hardest hit were Germany ($20), the UK ($10) and Italy ($10). Asia Pacific incurred $8 of its $9 in adverse currency impact in Australia. In our South American region, the sales boost from a stronger Brazilian real was offset by weakness in the Columbian peso and South African rand.

      Sales by region for the third quarter are as follows.

                                 
% Change Excluding
Acquisitions &
1999 2000 % Change Divestitures

North America $ 2,458 $ 2,156 (12 ) (7 )
Europe 465 440 (5 ) (8 )
South America 141 158 12 23
Asia Pacific 63 101 59 48

      Sales in North America were down $302 or 12% for the quarter, with divestitures accounting for $123 of the change. The Canadian and Mexican currencies generally stayed even with the U.S. dollar in the third quarter, adding $1 of positive impact. European sales improved in local currency, boosted by $13 of net effect of acquisitions and divestitures, but weakening of the euro and pound caused a $62 adverse impact. The region ended with a $25 net decrease in sales. South American sales were up more than 12% as currency changes had no material effect; however, sales increased 23% after excluding the effect of divestitures. Sales in the Asia Pacific region rose $38 in the quarter. Excluding acquisitions and divestitures, sales in the region increased $31 due mainly to our new modular business in Australia.

      ASG, which manufactures axles, driveshafts, structural components, modules and chassis systems, increased its sales by $58 or 6% in the third quarter. Modular and axle sales remained strong in Asia Pacific where sales increased $50 or 124%. The $35 effect of the GKN acquisition helped offset the impact of a weakening euro as Europe showed a $37 or 37% increase. The North American operations showed a $38 or 5% decrease as production was curtailed on a number of vehicles with significant Dana content, including Ford Explorer, Jeep® Grand Cherokee and GM full-size vans. Sales in South America increased $10.

      AAG, which is primarily responsible for the distribution side of the automotive business, had another difficult quarter. North American sales, which comprise more than 80% of total sales for this SBU, were down $52 or 8% with $12 attributable to divestitures. Sales in Europe declined $14 or 15% as currency weakness trimmed nearly $11 from the total and the related markets remained soft. South America registered the only regional gain within AAG as sales increased a modest $4.

      HTG sells heavy axles and brakes, drivetrain components, power take-offs, trailer products and heavy systems modular assemblies. Sales for this SBU are predominantly in the North American market, where sales declined $108 or 25% in the second quarter. Divestitures accounted for $27 of the reduction but steep production cuts were the largest factor as heavy truck manufacturers continued efforts to reduce their finished inventory. An $8 sales decline in Asia Pacific was due mainly to a divestiture earlier this year.

Results of Operations (Third Quarter 2000 vs Third Quarter 1999)

      ESG sells gaskets and other sealing products and engine parts, such as piston rings, bearings, liners and camshafts. Overall sales for this segment decreased $12 from the comparable period in 1999. Sales in Europe increased in local currency but declined $10 or 9% after considering the $14 lost to currency effects. Sales were down 2% in North America but improved a modest $2 in South America.

      FSG, which manufactures an extensive line of rubber hose, fluid products and fluid management systems, experienced a sales decrease of $17 or 6% in the third quarter. Downturns in the heavy truck and replacement parts sectors had the largest impact in North America and a divestiture caused a $2 decline. Adverse currency effects accounted for $4 of the $6 decline in Europe. Sales in South America advanced $2 in the quarter.

      OHSG, which sells off-highway axles, powershift transmissions, transaxles, torque converters and electronic controls, registered a quarterly sales decline of $39 or 21% versus 1999. The segment overall was flat, however, after factoring in the $28 decline due to the Gresen divestiture, which affected North America and South America, and $11 of currency devaluation in Europe.

      Sales in the “Other” category were down compared to 1999 due to the sale of most of the Warner Electric businesses at the end of February 2000.

      Revenue from lease financing and other income increased $3 in the third quarter of 2000. Lease financing income in 2000 increased $9 versus 1999, but this improvement was partly offset by lower interest income and a $4 adverse swing in the net foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

      Gross margin for the third quarter was 13.6%, compared to 18.0% in 1999. Several of our SBUs were adversely affected by the severe cutbacks by OEMs in the production of heavy trucks and the unscheduled cutbacks in the production of light trucks, including several models with significant Dana content. Softness in the aftermarket continues to affect our profitability. The greatest deterioration has been in the ASG, where changes in production schedules for both light and heavy trucks has affected sales volume and our ability to absorb overhead costs, and in the AAG, where we continue our efforts to integrate new warehouses and systems and to scale back excess capacity. HTG experienced a dramatic slowdown in its North American market and FSG is incurring startup costs in Mexico.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) declined $8 in the third quarter of 2000. Acquisitions and divestitures represented a net reduction of $18. This reduction was largely offset by the increase at ASG, which totaled $9 after considering increases due to acquisitions; DCC increased $3. AAG was flat after considering divestiture and currency impacts. HTG and OHSG experienced modest declines due to divestitures while FSG and ESG, combined, decreased $8. On a regional basis, all regions experienced decreases in absolute dollars, with currency fluctuations contributing a $3 reduction. The overall ratio of SG&A expense to sales increased six-tenths of a percent.

      Operating margin for the third quarter of 2000 was 3.8% compared to 8.8% for the same period in 1999 for the reasons stated above.

      Interest expense increased $13 over last year, reflecting both higher average debt levels and higher interest rates.

Results of Operations (Third Quarter 2000 vs Third Quarter 1999)

      The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2000 is not meaningful given the limited amount of income before income taxes. The final adjustments related to the divestiture of Midland Grau by the former Echlin Inc. were recorded in August 2000. These adjustments reduced other income by a net $10 but included a $10 tax benefit. The tax-free nature of the divestiture gain in Brazil was another significant component of the favorable tax rate. The effective tax rate approximated 35% in 1999. Dana has benefited from state tax incentives in both years.

      Equity in earnings of affiliates was $5 higher in 2000, reflecting increases in Mexico.

      We reported third quarter earnings in 2000 of $29. This total includes $61 of operating income and $32 of net nonrecurring expenses related to our divestitures and restructuring and integration activities. In 1999 we reported earnings of $162 and operating income of $173 with $11 of nonrecurring expense, also related to our restructuring and integration activities. As discussed above, the major causes of the reduction in operating income were sharp declines in the production of heavy trucks, costs associated with unscheduled production cutbacks in light trucks and softness in the automotive aftermarket in North America coupled with continued systems integration issues encountered in consolidating AAG’s Engine Controls Division warehouse network.

Results of Operations (Nine Months 2000 vs. Nine Months 1999)

      During the last year, we made seven divestitures and four acquisitions. The net effect was to reduce sales for the first nine months of 2000 by $307 and net income by $11, excluding the gains recognized on these divestitures.

      Sales by region for the first nine months were as follows:

Europe 1,553 1,501 (3 ) (7 )
South America 418 427 2 15
Asia Pacific 184 263 43 48

      Sales in North America declined $350 with the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures accounting for $299 of that change. The light truck and SUV markets began the year strong, as did the medium truck market, but production curtailments in the third quarter have had a significant effect on year-to-date sales. The heavy truck market was strong until the latter part of the second quarter when heavy truck manufacturers’ build rates were substantially reduced. Further reductions occurred in the third quarter. Weakness in the aftermarket resulted in a $69 drop in sales on a comparative basis; divestitures accounted for another $37.

      Sales in Europe were down $52 as organic growth and a $53 benefit from acquisitions net of divestitures were more than offset by a $173 adverse currency impact. Hardest hit were Germany and Italy.

Results of Operations (Nine Months 2000 vs Nine Months 1999)

      The $9 increase in sales in South America occurred despite the net loss of $53 of sales due to acquisitions and divestitures and $8 resulting from currency impact. Sales increases in our modular business provide further evidence that the economic situation in the region is stabilizing. The sales increase in the Asia Pacific region was primarily due to the new modular product sales in Australia.

      Sales by segment for the first nine months are shown in the following table.

      ASG sales increased 8% in the first nine months of 2000 with the net effect of acquisitions contributing 2% of the improvement. North America benefited from continuing strong demand for light trucks and SUVs in the first half of the year but the third quarter brought about significant reductions in production. The major OEMs reduced production for a variety of reasons, including high inventory levels and curtailed production in relation to a major tire recall. Total ASG North American sales, which are nearly 80% of this segment’s sales, increased 2% over 1999 with no acquisition/divestiture impact. The newly acquired driveshaft operations helped this SBU achieve 28% growth in Europe despite $19 of adverse currency effects. Asia Pacific also demonstrated significant growth as a result of new modular business in Australia, improving $110 or 94% in the period. The effect of divesting the South American driveshaft operations has now been offset by an increase in modular sales, resulting in a modest $3 or 1% increase.

      AAG sales declined 6% and 15% in North America and Europe, respectively, the two regions that comprise 95% of its sales. The divestiture of Sierra International, Inc. near the end of 1999 was responsible for nearly one-third of the decline in North American sales while weakening of the euro and British pound accounted for $28 of the drop in Europe.

      HTG sales for the nine-month period were down $114 or 8% overall. Sales lost due to divestitures of $72 were compounded by the impact of significant cutbacks in production schedules by heavy truck manufacturers. These cutbacks began near the end of the second quarter as higher fuel costs and a large supply of used trucks slowed sales at a time when production was still near record levels.

      ESG increased its sales $10 or 1% for the first three quarters of 2000 versus the 1999 level. North American sales benefited from a strong performance at its bearings operations, which ended the period 12% ahead of last year. In Europe, a $40 adverse currency impact more than offset the improvement in bearings sales. Sealing and engine product sales improvement helped South America register a modest increase of $2.

      FSG sales dropped $32 in the first nine months of 2000 with $6 of the change resulting from a divestiture in North America. In Europe, sales declined $8 after absorbing $11 of adverse currency effects. Sales increased $1 in South America and were flat in Asia Pacific.

      OHSG’s ongoing sales in North America were $7 above last year. The divestiture of the Gresen operations in January 2000 affected the year on year comparison by $66, resulting in a 19% decline for the region. European sales also experienced organic growth; however, negative currency impacts of $36 left the region with an overall 8% decrease.

      The decline in “Other” sales is attributable to the divestiture of most of the Warner Electric businesses in February 2000.

      Other income for the first nine months of 2000 includes $179 of gains recognized on the divestiture of the Gresen Hydraulics businesses, our constant velocity (CV) joint businesses, most of the Warner Electric businesses and our Commercial Vehicle Cab Systems Group. In addition, the $10 net charge related to final settlement of the Midland Grau divestiture was recorded in the third quarter, bringing to $169 the total of net nonrecurring income included in other income. These items affected net income by $108 after income taxes.

      Operating margin for the nine-month period was 6.5% compared to 8.7% in 1999. ASG dropped more than two percentage points and AAG declined by more than five percentage points. HTG and FSG both declined by more than one percentage point, while ESG was down one-third of a percentage point. Only OHSG experienced an improvement in operating margin – nearly one-third of a percentage point – over the prior year. North America turned in the poorest regional performance, declining nearly three percentage points, followed by a decline in Europe of slightly more than one-half of a percentage point. Asia Pacific improved by five percentage points after incurring significant startup costs in 1999 and South America improved nearly one percentage point, further evidence of having adjusted to difficult economic conditions first presented early in 1999.

      Interest expense increased $32 over the first nine months of 1999 due to the combined effect of higher debt levels at both Dana and DCC and an increase in interest rates.

      The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2000 was 35% compared to 36% in 1999. The effective rate in 2000 was lower due in part to favorable tax treatment of gains realized on the sale of our CV joint operation in Brazil. State tax incentives also reduced the rate in both years.

      Equity in earnings of affiliates was $6 higher in the first nine months of 2000 as the increase in equity earnings of several investments more than offset the impact of lower profits from an affiliate in Venezuela.

      Minority interest in net income of consolidated subsidiaries increased $2 in the first nine months of the year with the largest change occurring in Taiwan. The minority interest in the gain recognized by Albarus S.A. on the sale of its interest in one of its affiliates was generally offset by the absence of the minority interest’s participation in operating earnings.

Results of Operations (Nine Months 2000 vs Nine Months 1999)

      We reported profit of $418 in the first nine months of 2000 compared to $513 in 1999. The comparisons include net nonrecurring income of $43 in 2000, consisting of the $108 of items included in other income and the $65 of after-tax charges related to our restructuring and integration efforts. Net income included a net nonrecurring, after-tax charge of $21 in 1999.

Market Trends

      The North American heavy truck build rate declined abruptly near the end of the second quarter, from an estimated 175,000 units in the first half of 2000 to a projected rate of only 85,000 for the second half. The reduced production is helping bring manufacturers’ inventory in line with sales, but the factors that helped cause the excess inventory earlier in the year – higher fuel costs, a shortage of drivers and a large supply of used trucks – are expected to keep production through 2001 near or slightly below present levels. The passenger car and light truck annualized build rate began the year at 18,600,000 units. Production levels have declined to where 2000 production is now projected to finish in the mid-17 million range. While this represents a very strong level of production, we have been affected by recent production cuts on SUVs and light trucks that have high Dana content. Sales incentives offered by OEMs are expected to boost sales volume through the end of the year, but these efforts will primarily affect existing inventory at dealers rather than demand for manufacturer production. We expect 2001 sales of SUVs and light trucks to remain strong; however, we believe the industry consensus passenger car and light truck build rate of 17.2 million to be overly optimistic.

      The automotive aftermarket continues to experience soft demand in North America and Europe, and currency stability remains a concern in the latter region. South American operations continue to show modest improvement. While operations in our Asia Pacific region are growing their sales volume, start-up costs will continue to impact their earnings.

The members of the Audit Committee shall not be employees of Dana. c. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The Compensation Committee shall make recommendations to the Board on matters relating to base salaries and other cash and non-cash compensation for senior management under those Dana executive benefit plans in effect from time to time which the Committee interprets and administers. The Compensation Committee shall maintain familiarity with generally accepted national and international compensation practices and may consult with such compensation consultants as it deems appropriate. In making its recommendations, the Compensation Committee shall endeavor to maintain the compensation of Dana's senior management at levels appropriate for Dana's size and business, the responsibilities and performance of the individuals, and Dana's performance.

1 Exhibit 10-C(1) FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DANA CORPORATION EXCESS BENEFITS PLAN (December 14, 1998, Restatement) In order to ensure that the mortality and interest rate basis used to calculate lump sum payments under the Dana Corporation Excess Benefits Plan (the "Plan") correspond to the factors used under the Company's tax-qualified retirement plans, as amended to comply with the Retirement Protection Act of 1994, and to clarify rules preventing duplication of benefits, it is necessary to amend the Plan as follows, effective for retirements after May 1, 2000: 1. Amend Section 1.12 to read as follows: "Mortality Table" means the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table (unisex) weighted 50 percent male and 50 percent female. 2. In Section 4.1(a)(i) and (ii), and in Section 4.1(c)(i) and (ii), delete the portion of each paragraph that states, "120 percent of the interest rate that would be used (as of January 1 of the calendar year in which the first benefit payment is to be made) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation with respect to an immediate annuity for purposes of determining the present value of a lump sum distribution on plan termination" and substitute the following: the interest rate equal to the average annual yield on 30-year Treasury securities at constant maturity published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release effective for the November preceding the beginning of the calendar year in which the first benefit payment is to be made. 3. In Section 4.1(e), insert a new paragraph (i) to read as follows, and re-designate the following paragraphs accordingly: (i) Section 3.04 of the Retirement Plan; 4. In Section 4.1, insert a new subsection (g) at the end of that section to read as follows: (g) If an Employee is eligible to receive benefits under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan with respect to any period of service, and the other plan replaces benefits that are limited by the application of Section 401(a)(17) or Section 415 of the Code to a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the Employee's benefits under this Plan shall be reduced by the benefits received under such other nonqualified plan with respect to the same period of service. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Dana Corporation has adopted this amendment on this 18th day of April, 2000. For Dana Corporation /s/ R. C. Richter ----------------- Witness: /s/ Stephen C.
