PART I

ITEM 1 — BUSINESS

      Dana Corporation was incorporated in 1905. Today, we are one of the world’s largest independent suppliers of components and systems to vehicular manufacturers and the related aftermarkets. We are also a leading provider of lease financing services in selected markets through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Credit Corporation (DCC).

      Our operations are organized into the following seven market-focused Strategic Business Units (SBUs):

  Automotive Systems Group (ASG) — This group produces light duty axles, driveshafts, structural products (such as engine cradles and frames), transfer cases, original equipment brakes and integrated modules and systems for the light vehicle market and driveshafts for the heavy truck market. The group has 127 facilities and employs 24,100 people in 21 countries. Its three largest customers, Ford Motor Company (Ford), DaimlerChrysler AG (DaimlerChrysler) and General Motors Corporation (GM), helped it attain sales of $4.6 billion in 2000.
 
  Automotive Aftermarket Group (AAG) — The AAG sells hydraulic brake components and disc brakes for light vehicle applications, internal engine hard parts, chassis products and a complete line of filtration products for a variety of applications worldwide. In addition, it sells electrical, brake, power transmission, steering and suspension system components in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. The AAG has 129 facilities and 20,100 people in 24 countries. In 2000, its sales were $2.9 billion and its three largest customers were Genuine Parts Company, General Parts, Inc. and Parts Plus.
 
  Heavy Truck Group (HTG) – The HTG, a major global supplier to the medium and heavy truck markets, produces heavy axles and brakes, drivetrain components, trailer products and power take-off units. It also assembles modules and systems for heavy trucks. The group has 25 facilities in 7 countries. In 2000, this group recorded sales of $1.6 billion while employing 5,300 people. Its largest customers were Renault V.I./Mack Trucks, Inc., PACCAR Inc and Navistar International Corporation.
 
  Engine Systems Group (ESG) — This group serves the automotive, light to heavy truck, leisure and outdoor power equipment and industrial markets (including nearly every major engine manufacturer in the world and related aftermarkets) with sealing products, internal engine hard parts, electronic modules and sensors. The group has 91 facilities and 14,900 people in 19 countries. In 2000, its sales were $1.3 billion and its three largest customers were Ford, GM and DaimlerChrysler.
 
  Fluid Systems Group (FSG) — This group manufactures an extensive line of products focused on the pumping, routing and thermal management of fluid systems for a wide range of applications, including passenger cars, heavy trucks, sport and leisure vehicles and off-highway applications. Its products include an extensive line of rubber hose and fluid products and management systems. FSG has 54 facilities and 10,000 people in 7 countries. Its 2000 sales were $1.2 billion to a customer base led by Ford, DaimlerChrysler and Visteon Corporation (Visteon).
 
  Off-Highway Systems Group (OHSG) — This group produces axles and brakes, transaxles, power-shift transmissions, torque converters and electronic controls. These products serve the construction, agriculture, mining, specialty chassis, outdoor power, material handling, forestry and leisure/utility equipment markets. OHSG has 14 facilities and 3,600 people in 6 countries. Its 2000 sales were nearly $700 million and Deere & Company, Textron Inc. and Manitou S.A. were its three largest customers.
 
  Leasing Services — DCC and its subsidiaries provide leasing services to selected markets in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and continental Europe. DCC’s key products are middle ticket and capital markets leasing and other finance products. It also provides asset and real property management services. DCC has 8 facilities in three countries and employs approximately 300 people.

      This SBU alignment reflects the SBU structure at the end of 2000. Several changes were made to the SBUs during 2000, the most significant of which was the shifting of our fluid handling products operations from the ESG to the FSG. You can find more information in “Note 13. Business Segments” on pages 33-35 of our 2000 Annual Report.

ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE SUMMARY

      We completed several divestitures in 2000. The divested operations included Gresen Hydraulics and portions of our constant velocity (CV) joint business in January, most of Warner Electric in February and Commercial Vehicle Cab Systems in March. A number of strategic acquisitions and investments also closed in 2000, including the cardan-jointed driveshaft business of GKN plc in January, the automotive axle manufacturing and stamping operations of Invensys plc in July and equity interests in GETRAG, a manufacturer of transmissions, transaxles, axles and other automotive components operating in Europe and North America in November. See “Note 18. Acquisitions” on page 37 and “Note 19. Divestitures” on page 38 of our 2000 Annual Report for more information about these transactions.

      We also continued integrating the AAG warehouse operations obtained as part of the Echlin merger. See “Note 20. Restructuring of Operations” on page 39 of our 2000 Annual Report for more information about these activities.

STRATEGY

      During 2000, we introduced Transformation 2005, a strategic plan that focuses on our foundation businesses, our basic markets and the company-wide services that support our people. Aligned with our foundation businesses are our core products, each of which is a leader in the markets it serves. The markets we support are automotive, commercial vehicle and off-highway and each consists of original equipment (OE) production, OE service and aftermarket segments. Supporting services include systems integration, logistics, training and customer support, information systems, advanced technical innovation and leasing services.

      Our objectives include aligning these products, markets and services to best serve our customers by offering a broader range of technology, a global presence, greater flexibility and quicker speed to market, all at competitive pricing. Additional objectives include increasing capital efficiency and product innovation and implementing our employee initiatives and training throughout our global organization.

GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS

      We maintain administrative organizations in four regions – North America, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific – to facilitate financial and statutory reporting and tax compliance on a worldwide basis and to support the seven SBUs.

      Our operations are located in the following countries:

                 
North America Europe South America Asia Pacific




Canada Austria Netherlands Argentina Australia
Mexico Belgium Poland Brazil China
United States Czech Russia Colombia Indonesia
  Republic Slovakia South Africa Japan
France Spain Uruguay Singapore
Germany Sweden Venezuela South Korea
Hungary Switzerland Taiwan
India Turkey Thailand
Ireland United
Italy   Kingdom

      Our non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates manufacture and sell a number of products similar to those produced in the U.S. In addition to normal business risks, operations outside the U.S. are subject to others such as changing political, economic and social environments, changing governmental laws and regulations, currency revaluations and market fluctuations.

      Consolidated non-U.S. sales were $3.8 billion, or 31% of our 2000 sales. Including U.S. exports of $832 million, non-U.S. sales accounted for 37% of 2000 consolidated sales. Non-U.S. net income was $117 million, or

Table of Contents

35% of consolidated 2000 net income. In addition, there was $32 million of equity in earnings of non-U.S. affiliates in 2000.

      You can find more information about regional operating results in “Note 13. Business Segments” on pages 33 - 35 of our 2000 Annual Report.

CUSTOMER DEPENDENCE

      We have thousands of customers around the world and have developed long-standing business relationships with many of them. Our attention to quality, delivery and service has been recognized by numerous customers who have awarded us with supplier quality awards. Ford and DaimlerChrysler were the only individual customers accounting for more than 10% of our consolidated sales in 2000. We have been supplying products to these companies and their subsidiaries for many years. Sales to Ford, as a percentage of total sales, were 15%, 16% and 19% in 1998, 1999 and 2000, and sales to DaimlerChrysler were 13%, 14% and 14%. Loss of all or a substantial portion of our sales to Ford, DaimlerChrysler or other large volume customers would have a significant adverse effect on our financial results until such lost sales volume could be replaced. There would be no assurance, in such event, that the lost volume would be replaced.

PRODUCTS

      The following table presents our relative sales by product for the last three years:

                         
Percentage of Consolidated Sales

1998 1999 2000



Types of Products
Axle 32 % 32 % 33 %
Driveshaft 9 8 9
Brake 9 9 9
Other engine 9 9 9
Fluid systems 8 8 8

Bearings and sealing 4 6 7
Filtration 4 4 5



81 82 87
Other 19 18 13



100 % 100 % 100 %



      We do not consider our leasing service revenue to be sales and none of our other products individually accounts for 10% of sales.

MATERIAL SOURCE AND SUPPLY

      Most raw materials (such as steel) and semi-processed or finished items (such as forgings and castings) are purchased from long-term suppliers located within the geographic regions of our operating units. Generally, these materials are available from numerous qualified sources in quantities sufficient for our needs. Temporary shortages of a particular material or part occasionally occur, but we do not consider the overall availability of materials to be a significant risk factor for our operations.

SEASONALITY

      Our businesses are not seasonal. However, sales to our manufacturing customers are closely related to the production schedules of those manufacturers.

BACKLOG

      Generally, our products are not on a backlog status. They are produced from readily available materials and have a relatively short manufacturing cycle. Each operating unit maintains its own inventories and production schedules and many of our products are available from more than one facility. We believe that our production

capacity is adequate to handle current requirements and we regularly review anticipated changes in our product lines to determine when modifications of capacity may be needed.

COMPETITION

      We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors which produce and sell similar products. These competitors include Visteon and Delphi Automotive Systems Corp., large parts manufacturers that previously were vertically-integrated units of Ford and General Motors, two of our original equipment (OE) customers, and a number of other U.S. and non-U.S. suppliers. Our traditional U.S. OE customers, facing substantial foreign competition, have expanded their worldwide sourcing of components to better compete with lower cost imports. In addition, these customers have been shifting research and development, design and validation responsibilities to their key suppliers, focusing on stronger relationships with fewer suppliers. We have established operations throughout the world to enable us to meet these competitive challenges and to be a strong global supplier of our core products.

      In the area of leasing services, we compete in selected markets with various international, national and regional leasing and finance organizations.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

      Our proprietary drivetrain, engine parts, chassis, structural components, fluid power systems and industrial power transmission product lines have strong identities in the markets which we serve. Throughout these product lines, we manufacture and sell our products under a number of patents which have been obtained over a period of years and expire at various times. We consider each of them to be of value and aggressively protect our rights throughout the world against infringement. Because we are involved with many product lines, the loss or expiration of any particular patent would not materially affect our sales and profits.

      We own or have licensed numerous trademarks which are registered in many countries, enabling us to market our products worldwide. Our Spicer®, Parish®, Perfect Circle®, Victor Reinz®, Wix®, Weatherhead®, Boston®, Raybestos®, Aimco®, Clevite®, Glacier® and Vandervell® trademarks, among others, are widely recognized in their respective industries.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      Our objective is to be the leader in offering superior quality, technologically advanced products and systems to our customers at competitive prices. To enhance quality and reduce costs, we use statistical process control, cellular manufacturing, flexible regional production and assembly, global sourcing and extensive employee training.

      In addition, we engage in ongoing engineering, research and development activities to improve the reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness of existing products and to design and develop new products for existing and new applications. Our spending on engineering, research and development and quality control programs was $275 million in 1998, $290 million in 1999 and $287 million in 2000.

EMPLOYMENT

      Our worldwide employment (including consolidated subsidiaries) was approximately 79,300 at December 31, 2000.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

      We make capital expenditures in the normal course of business as necessary to ensure that our facilities are in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. The cost of environmental compliance was not a material part of our capital expenditures and did not have a material adverse effect on our earnings or competitive position in 2000. We do not anticipate that future environmental compliance costs will be material. You can find more information in “Environmental Compliance and Remediation” under “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” on page 27 of our 2000 Annual Report.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      We are a party to various legal proceedings (judicial and administrative) arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings which involve environmental and product liability claims. You can find additional information in “Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies” on page 37 of our 2000 Annual Report.

      With respect to environmental claims, we are involved in investigative and/or remedial efforts at a number of locations, including “on-site” activities at currently or formerly owned facilities and “off-site” activities at “Superfund” sites where we have been named as a potentially responsible party. You can find more information in “Environmental Compliance and Remediation” under “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” on page 27 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 40-46 of our 2000 Annual Report.

      With respect to product liability claims, we are named in proceedings involving alleged defects in our products. Such proceedings currently include a large number of claims (most of which are for relatively small damage amounts) based on alleged asbestos-related personal injuries. At December 31, 2000, approximately 70,000 such claims were outstanding, of which approximately 33,000 were settled pending payment. We have agreements with our insurance carriers providing for the payment of a significant majority of the indemnity costs and the legal and administrative expenses for these claims. You can find additional information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 40-46 of our 2000 Annual Report.

6 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") made and entered into as of this 12th day of December, 1998, by and between DANA CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation whose principal place of business is located at 4500 Dorr Street, Toledo, Ohio (the "Corporation"), and Joseph M. Magliochetti (the "Executive"); WHEREAS, the Executive is a principal executive officer of the Corporation and an integral part of its management; and WHEREAS, the Corporation wishes to assure itself of the continuing services of the Executive and to assure the Executive of continued employment during the period of employment hereunder; and WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to commit himself to remain in the employ of the Corporation during such period on terms and conditions substantially similar to those on which other senior executive officers of the Corporation are employed, and to forego opportunities elsewhere during such period; and WHEREAS, the parties have entered into an Agreement dated December 14, 1992, as amended from time to time thereafter (the "Prior Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend and restate the Prior Agreement (as it had been amended from time to time thereafter)in its entirety; NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth below, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. Employment and Term. ------------------- (a) The Corporation agrees to continue the employment of the Executive, and the Executive agrees to remain in the employ of the Corporation, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, for the period set forth below (the "Employment Period"). (b) The Employment Period under this Agreement shall commence as of December 12, 1998, and, subject only to the provisions of Section 4 below relating to termination of employment, shall continue until (i) the close of business on December 31, 2001 or (ii) such later date as shall result from the operation of subparagraph (c) below (the "Terminal Date").

7 (c) Commencing on December 31, 1998, and on each anniversary of such date (such date and each such annual anniversary thereof, the "Renewal Date") the Terminal Date set forth in subparagraph (b) above shall be extended so as to occur three (3) years from the Renewal Date unless either party shall have given notice to the other party that the Terminal Date is not to be extended or further extended. 2. Position and Duties of the Executive. ------------------------------------ (a) Position. It is contemplated that during the Change of Control Period (as defined in Section 12(d), below), the Executive will continue to serve as a principal officer of the Corporation and as a member of its Board of Directors if serving as a member of the Board of Directors immediately prior to the Change of Control Date, with the office(s) and title(s), reporting responsibility, and duties and responsibilities of the Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control Date. The Executive hereby agrees that at any time prior to the Change of Control Date, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or the individual to whom the Executive reports) may, without the Executive's consent, change the Executive's office(s), title(s), reporting responsibility, and duties or responsibilities. The office(s), title(s), reporting responsibility, duties and responsibilities of the Executive on the date of this Agreement, as the same may be changed from time to time after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the previous paragraph, shall be summarized in Exhibit A to this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that if, as and when the office(s), title(s), reporting responsibility, duties or responsibilities of the Executive shall be so changed after the date of this Agreement, Exhibit A shall be deemed to be, and shall be updated by the parties to reflect such change; provided, however, that Exhibit A is intended only as a memorandum for the convenience of the parties and shall be disregarded if, and to the extent that, Exhibit A shall fail to reflect accurately the office(s), title(s), reporting responsibility, duties or responsibilities of the Executive as so changed after the date of this Agreement because the parties shall have failed to update Exhibit A as aforesaid. At all times during the Change of Control Period, the Executive shall hold a position of responsibility and importance and a position of scope, with the functions, duties and responsibilities attached thereto, at least equal in responsibility and importance and in scope to and commensurate with his position described in general terms above in this Section 2(a) and intended to be summarized in Exhibit A to this Agreement. 2

8 During the Employment Period the Executive shall, without compensation other than that herein provided, also serve and continue to serve, if and when elected and re-elected, as an officer or director, or both, of any United States Subsidiary, division or Affiliate of the Corporation. For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) a Subsidiary shall mean a corporation or other entity, of which 50% or more of the voting securities or other equity interests is owned directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by the Corporation, and (ii) an Affiliate shall mean a corporation or other entity which is not a Subsidiary and which directly, or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Corporation. For the purpose of this definition, the terms "control," "controls" and "controlled" mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a corporation or other entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. (b) DUTIES. Throughout the Employment Period the Executive shall devote his full time and undivided attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Corporation except for reasonable vacations and except for illness or incapacity, but nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from devoting reasonable periods required for: (i) serving as a director or member of a committee or any organization involving no conflict of interest with the interests of the Corporation; (ii) delivering lectures, fulfilling speaking engagements, teaching at educational institutions; (iii) engaging in charitable and community activities; and (iv) managing his personal investments; provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the regular performance of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. 3

9 (c) LOCATION OF OFFICE. During the Change of Control Period, the office of the Executive shall be located at the principal offices of the Corporation, within the greater Toledo, Ohio area, and the Executive shall not be required to locate his office elsewhere without his prior written consent, nor shall he be required to be absent therefrom on travel status or otherwise more than thirty (30%) of the working days in any calendar year nor for more than ten (10) consecutive days at any one time. 3. Compensation. ------------ The Executive shall receive the following compensation for his services: (a) SALARY. So long as the Executive is employed by the Corporation, he shall be paid an annual base salary, payable not less often than monthly, at the rate of not less than $58,333.33 per month with such increases as shall be awarded from time to time in accordance with the Corporation's regular administrative practices of other salary increases applicable to executives of the Corporation, subject to any and all required withholdings and deductions for Social Security, income taxes and the like (the "Annual Base Salary"). The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") may from time to time direct such upward adjustments to Annual Base Salary as the Board deems to be necessary or desirable; provided, however, that during the Change of Control Period (as defined in Section 12(d) below), the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually and shall be increased at any time and from time to time but not less often than annually and shall be substantially consistent with increases in base salary generally awarded in the ordinary course of business to other senior executives of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies (a term which, as used in this Agreement, shall mean a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Corporation) and, in addition, shall be adjusted effective as of January lst of each calendar year commencing in the Change of Control Period to reflect increases in the cost of living during the preceding calendar year. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any increase thereof pursuant to this Section 3(a). Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation of the Corporation under this Agreement. (b) ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. So long as the Executive is employed by the Corporation, he shall be eligible to receive annual short-term incentive awards or bonuses (such award or bonus is hereinafter referred to as "Short-Term Award" or "Annual Bonus") from the Dana Corporation Additional Compensation Plan, and from any successor or replacement plan (the Dana Corporation Additional 4

10 Compensation Plan and such successor or replacement plans being referred to herein collectively as the "ACP"), in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that, with respect to each fiscal year of the Corporation ending during the Change of Control Period, the Executive shall be awarded (whether under the terms of the ACP or otherwise) an Annual Bonus in an amount that shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of his Annual Base Salary rate in effect on the last day of such fiscal year (which amount shall be prorated if such fiscal year shall be less than 12 months) (the "Target Annual Bonus"). Each Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the receipt of such Annual Bonus is deferred in accordance with the terms of the ACP. (c) INCENTIVE, STOCK AND SAVINGS PLANS. So long as the Executive is employed by the Corporation, he shall be and continue to be a full participant in the Dana Corporation 1997 Stock Option Plan, the ACP (providing for Short-Term Awards) and in any and all other incentive, stock, savings or retirement plans, practices or policies in which executives of the Corporation participate that are in effect on the date hereof and that may hereafter be adopted, including, without limitation, any stock option, stock purchase or stock appreciation plans, or any successor plans that may be adopted by the Corporation with, except in the case of the ACP after the commencement of the Change of Control Period, at least the same reward opportunities, if any, that have heretofore been provided to the Executive. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude improvement of reward opportunities in such plans or other plans in accordance with the practice of the Corporation on or after the date of this Agreement. Any provision of the ACP or of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Short-Term Awards made to the Executive during the Change of Control Period (whether for services rendered prior to or after the Change of Control Date) shall be paid wholly in cash as soon as practicable after the awards are made. (d) RETIREMENT AND WELFARE BENEFIT PLANS. The Executive, his dependents and Beneficiary, including, without limitation, any beneficiary of a joint and survivor or other optional method of payment applicable to the payment of benefits under the Pension and Retirement Program of the Corporation, as defined in Section 3(j)(vii) below, shall be entitled to all payments and benefits and service credit for benefits during the Employment Period to which other senior executives of the Corporation, their dependents and their beneficiaries are entitled under the terms of employee retirement 5

11 and welfare benefit plans and practices of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the Pension and Retirement Program of the Corporation (as defined in Section 3(j)(vii) below), the Corporation's Savings and Investment Plan, its Stock Purchase Plan, its Stock Award Plan, its Income Protection Plan for Management and Certain Other Employees providing layoff and severance benefits, its 1989 Restricted Stock Plan, its Excess Benefits Plan, its Supplemental Benefits Plan, its death benefit plans (consisting of its Group Insurance Plan for Management Employees providing life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and travel accident insurance), its disability benefit plans (consisting of its salary continuation, sickness and accident and long-term disability benefits programs), its medical, dental and health and welfare plans and other present or equivalent successor plans and practices of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and divisions, for active and retired employees, for which officers, their dependents and beneficiaries, are eligible, and to all payments or other benefits under any such plan or practice subsequent to the Employment Period as a result of participation in such plan or practice during the Employment Period. (e) EXPENSES. So long as the Executive is employed by the Corporation, he shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the polices, practices and procedures of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies from time to time in effect, commensurate with his position and on a basis at least comparable to that of other senior executives of the Corporation. (f) FRINGE BENEFITS. So long as the Executive is employed by the Corporation, he shall be entitled to fringe benefits, including, without limitation, the business and personal use of an automobile, and payment or reimbursement of club initiation fees and dues, in accordance with the plans, practices, programs and policies of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies from time to time in effect, commensurate with his position and at least comparable to those received by other senior executives of the Corporation. (g) OFFICE AND SUPPORT STAFF. So long as the Executive is employed by the Corporation, he shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and other appointments, and to exclusive personal secretarial and other assistance, commensurate with his position and at least comparable to those received by other senior executives of the Corporation. 6

12 (h) VACATION AND OTHER ABSENCES. So long as the Executive is employed by the Corporation, he shall be entitled to paid vacation and such other paid absences whether for holidays, illness, personal time or any similar purposes, in accordance with the plans, policies, programs and practices of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies in effect from time to time, commensurate with his position and at least comparable to those received by other senior executives of the Corporation. (i) BENEFITS SHALL NOT BE REDUCED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Corporation from amending or terminating any employee benefit or welfare plan or practice, but, it being the intent of the parties that the Executive shall continue to be entitled during the Employment Period to perquisites as set forth in this Section 3 and to benefits and service credit for benefits under Section 3(d) above at least equal to those attached to his position on December 10, 1990, the date of the original agreement between the parties (except that, in converting a monthly retirement benefit, which is payable under any plan that is a component of the Pension and Retirement Program of the Corporation, into a lump sum payment, the lump sum conversion basis to be used shall be the basis that is described in Section 3(j)(iii) below, regardless of whether such basis is more favorable or less favorable than the one in effect on December 10, 1990), and except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 3(i), nothing in this Agreement shall operate or be construed to reduce, or authorize a reduction without the Executive's written consent in, the level of such perquisites, benefits or service credit for benefits; in the event of any such reduction, by amendment or termination of any plan or practice or otherwise, the Executive, his dependents and Beneficiary, shall continue to be entitled to perquisites, benefits and service credit for benefits at least equal to the perquisites, benefits and service credit for benefits under such plans or practices that he or his dependents and Beneficiary would have received if such reduction had not taken place. If and to the extent that such perquisites, benefits and service credits are not payable or provided under any such plans or practices by reason of such amendment or termination thereof, the Corporation itself shall pay or provide therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(i), the Executive hereby waives the benefit of the foregoing minimum benefit protection only as it applies to the Dana Corporation Savings and Investment Plan, and to its medical, dental and health plans for active and retired employees. The Executive expressly does not waive the application of the foregoing minimum benefit protection to any of the other benefit plans, programs or practices enumerated in 7

13 Section 3 above, including, without limitation, the Pension and Retirement Program of the Corporation, its death benefit plans, its disability benefit plans, and its Income Protection Plan for Management and Certain Other Employees. The Executive reserves the right to cancel the above waiver, prospectively, at any future time by giving written notice to the Corporation of such cancellation. Nothing in this Section 3(i) shall be construed to prohibit the Corporation from amending or terminating any employee benefit or welfare plan or practice to reduce benefits, so long as such reduction applies to all salaried Corporation employees covered by such plan or practice equally and such reduction is adopted prior to the commencement of the Change of Control Period. (j) SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY. (i) If the Service of the Executive, including, without limitation, the period set forth in Section 5(a)(iv)(2) below, relating to the period between the Date of Termination and the end of the Termination Period, shall terminate other than for Cause as defined in Section 4(b) below, and if the Executive shall have a total of not less than fifteen (15) years of Service, as defined in subparagraph (viii) of this Section 3(j), whether or not consecutive, the Executive, subject to compliance with the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 below, relating to confidential information and Competition, respectively, and after the Executive's death, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to the supplemental retirement annuity provided by this Section 3(j) in addition to all other benefits to which the Executive (or his Beneficiary), may be entitled including, without limitation, benefits under the Pension and Retirement Program of the Corporation. Such supplemental retirement annuity shall be payable by the Corporation on a straight life annuity basis commencing on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the latest of (1) termination of Service; (2) attainment by the Executive of age 55; and (3) if the Executive had not previously retired with 15 years or more of Service, the expiration of the Employment Period; and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter during his lifetime. 8

14 (ii) The monthly payment provided for in Section 3(j)(i) above shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) (or if higher, the percentage which is the product of 1.6% multiplied by the Executive's Credited Service at retirement, as such Credited Service is determined by application of the definition of Credited Service under the Dana Corporation Retirement Plan), of the Executive's Highest Average Monthly Compensation, as defined in Section 3(j)(vi), less the sum of (1) commencing at the earliest date that it could be payable on or after termination of Service, the aggregate monthly retirement benefit payable to the Executive for life on a straight life annuity basis under the Pension and Retirement Program of the Corporation to the extent attributable to contributions of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; (2) commencing at the earliest date that it could be payable on or after termination of Service, the aggregate monthly retirement or disability benefit payable to the Executive for life on a straight life annuity basis following his retirement or termination from employment by the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, to the extent attributable to contributions other than by the Executive under pension or retirement plans of all corporations, organizations or entities other than the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; (3) commencing at the earliest date payable on or after termination of Service, 50% of the monthly primary Social Security benefit that would be or would have been payable to the Executive in the absence of any compensation that may at the time be or have been earned by him; and (4) commencing at the earliest date payable on or after termination of Service and continuing until no longer payable, the aggregate monthly disability benefit payable to the Executive under disability benefit plans and pension plans of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to the extent attributable to contributions of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. 9

15 (iii) The Executive may elect to receive payment of the supplemental retirement annuity provided by this Section 3(j), under a joint and survivor or any other optional method of payment available under the Dana Corporation Retirement Plan, including, without limitation, any deferment in the time of payment thereof. The amount of the benefit payable pursuant to any form of payment under this Section 3(j) shall be determined by applying the mortality assumptions, interest rates, and other factors contained in the Dana Corporation Retirement Plan that would be applicable to the form of payment elected by the Executive; provided that, if a lump sum distribution is made hereunder, the amount of the lump sum distribution shall be actuarially equivalent to the monthly benefit prescribed by Section 3(j)(ii), calculated using the basis described in subparagraph (1) or (2), below, whichever produces the larger lump sum amount: (1) the lump sum amount calculated on the basis of the "applicable interest rate" (as in effect for the November preceding the calendar year in which the calculation is made) and the "applicable mortality table," both as defined in Section 417(e) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (2) the lump sum amount calculated on the basis of the actuarial equivalent factor used to convert the Executive's Earned Benefit Account into a life annuity under the Dana Corporation Retirement Plan at the time the calculation is made. If it is determined that the Executive is subject to federal income taxation on an amount in respect of the supplemental retirement annuity prior to the distribution of all of such amount to him, the Corporation shall forthwith pay to the Executive all (or the balance) of such amount as is includable in the Executive's federal gross income and correspondingly reduce future payments, if any, of the supplemental retirement annuity. (iv) In the event the Executive should die prior to terminating Service with the Corporation, the Executive's surviving spouse to whom he is then married, or if no such surviving spouse is then living, his Beneficiary, shall be entitled to receive a lump benefit equal to 100% of the benefit to which the Executive would have been entitled under this Section 3(j), as if the Executive had retired on the date of his death and elected a lump sum benefit hereunder. 10

16 (v) In the event that the Corporation defaults in payment of all or any part of the supplemental retirement annuity provided above in this Section 3(j) and fails to remedy such default within thirty days after having received notice from the Executive or his Beneficiary, the Corporation shall thereupon pay to the Executive or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, in full discharge of its obligations under this Section 3(j), (1) a lump sum amount actuarially equivalent (based on the same assumptions and discount factors as would be applicable under the Dana Corporation Retirement Plan as then in effect) to the future payments otherwise payable under this Section 3(j), and (2) an amount equal to any and all past due payments under this Section 3(j). (vi) The term "Highest Average Monthly Compensation" shall mean the sum of (1) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Annual Base Salary provided in Section 3(a) at the rate being paid at the time the Executive's termination of employment occurred, and (2) one-twelfth (1/12) of the average of the highest Annual Bonuses payable to the Executive for any three (3) consecutive full or partial fiscal years during his employment by the Corporation, provided, however, that, solely for purposes of this Section 3(j), and for no other purposes under this Agreement, with respect to 1994 and subsequent years' Annual Bonuses, only that portion of the Employee's Annual Bonus as does not exceed 125% of his Annual Base Salary will be considered. (vii) The term "Pension and Retirement Program of the Corporation" shall mean the Dana Corporation Retirement Plan, the Dana Corporation Excess Benefits Plan, the Dana Corporation Supplemental Benefits Plan, and any other supplemental, early retirement and similar plan or plans of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, providing for pension or retirement benefits that may be applicable to the Executive and that are in effect on the date hereof or may hereafter be adopted or substituted for any such plan, but exclusive of the Dana Corporation Savings and Investment Plan and any similar plan or plans. (viii) The term "Service" shall mean employment as an employee by the Corporation, any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or any corporation the capital stock or assets of which have been acquired by, or which has been merged into or consolidated with the Corporation or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof. 11

17 4 Termination of Employment. ------------------------- (a) DEATH OR DISABILITY. (i) The Executive's employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment Period. (ii) If the Corporation determines in good faith that the Disability (as defined below) of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 14(b) below of its intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such event, the Employment Period shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided, that within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive's duties with the Corporation on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Corporation or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive's legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably). (b) CAUSE. The Corporation may terminate the Executive's employment during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been for "Cause" only (i) if termination of his employment shall have been the result of his conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, the charge of having committed a felony (whether or not such conviction is later reversed for any reason), or (ii) if there has been a breach by the Executive during the Employment Period of the provisions of Section 2(b), relating to the time to be devoted to the affairs of the Corporation, or of Section 9, relating to confidential information, and such 12

18 breach results in demonstrably material injury to the Corporation, and, with respect to any alleged breach of Section 2(b) hereof, the Executive shall have either failed to remedy such alleged breach within thirty days from his receipt of written notice from the Secretary of the Corporation pursuant to resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation after notice to the Executive and an opportunity to be heard demanding that he remedy such alleged breach, or shall have failed to take all reasonable steps to that end during such thirty-day period and thereafter; provided, that there shall have been delivered to the Executive a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the entire membership of the Board of Directors called and held for that purpose and at which the Executive was given an opportunity to be heard, finding that the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Anything in this Section 4(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the employment of the Executive shall in no event be considered to have been terminated by the Corporation for Cause if termination of his employment took place (1) as the result of bad judgment or negligence on the part of the Executive, or (2) because of an act or omission believed by the Executive in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interests of the Corporation, or (3) for any act or omission in respect of which a determination could properly be made that the Executive met the applicable standard of conduct prescribed for indemnification or reimbursement or payment of expenses under (A) the Bylaws of the Corporation, or (B) the laws of the State of Virginia, or (C) the directors' and officers' liability insurance of the Corporation, in each case either as in effect at the time of this Agreement or in effect at the time of such act or omission, or 13

19 (4) as the result of an act or omission which occurred more than twelve calendar months prior to the Executive's having been given notice of the termination of his employment for such act or omission unless the commission of such act or such omission could not at the time of such commission or omission have been known to a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (other than the Executive, if he is then a member of the Board of Directors), in which case more than twelve calendar months from the date that the commission of such act or such omission was or could reasonably have been so known, or (5) as the result of a continuing course of action which commenced and was or could reasonably have been known to a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (other than the Executive, if he is then a member of the Board of Directors) more than twelve calendar months prior to notice having been given to the Executive of the termination of his employment. (c) GOOD REASON. Following a Change of Control (as defined in Section 12(b) below), the Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence after the Change of Control Date of any of the following events: (i) Failure to elect or reelect the Executive to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, if the Executive shall have been a member of the Board of Directors on the date of this Agreement or at any time thereafter during the Employment Period, or failure to elect or reelect the Executive to, or removal of the Executive from, the office(s) described in Section 2(a) above and intended to be summarized in Exhibit A to this Agreement. (ii) A significant change in the nature or scope of the authorities, powers, functions or duties attached to the position described in Section 2 above and intended to be summarized in Exhibit A to this Agreement, or a reduction in compensation, which is not remedied within 30 days after receipt 14

20 by the Corporation of written notice from the Executive. (iii) A determination by the Executive made in good faith that as a result of a Change of Control, and a change in circumstances thereafter and since the date of this Agreement significantly affecting his position, he is unable to carry out the authorities, powers, functions or duties attached to his position and contemplated by Section 2 of this Agreement and the situation is not remedied within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of written notice from the Executive of such determination. (iv) A breach by the Corporation of any provision of this Agreement not embraced within the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4(c) which is not remedied within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of written notice from the Executive. (v) The liquidation, dissolution, consolidation or merger of the Corporation or transfer of all or a significant portion of its assets unless a successor or successors (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) to which all or a significant portion of its assets have been transferred shall have assumed all duties and obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement but without releasing the corporation that is the original party to this Agreement; provided, that in any event set forth in this Section 4(c), the Executive shall have elected to terminate his employment under this Agreement, upon not less than ten and not more than ninety days' advance written notice to the Corporation, attention of the Secretary, given, except in the case of a continuing breach, within three calendar months after (A) failure to be so elected or reelected, or removal, (B) expiration of the thirty-day cure period with respect to such event, or (C) the closing date of such liquidation, dissolution, consolidation, merger or transfer of assets, as the case may be. An election by the Executive to terminate his employment given under the provisions of this Section 4(c) shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive for the purpose of this Agreement or any plan or practice of the Corporation. (d) NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination by the Corporation for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, 15

21 shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 14(b) below. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 4(e) below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than fifteen days after the giving of such notice). (e) DATE OF TERMINATION. "Date of Termination" means (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Corporation for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Corporation other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Corporation notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 5 Obligations of the Corporation Upon Termination. ----------------------------------------------- (a) TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE. If, during the Employment Period, the Corporation shall terminate the Executive's employment other than for Cause or the Executive shall terminate his employment following a Change of Control for Good Reason (termination in any such case referred to as "Termination"): 16

22 (i) the Corporation shall pay the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination the sum of (1) the Executive's Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) the Target Annual Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365, and (3) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2), and (3) shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued Obligations"); and (ii) at the end of the month next following the Termination, and at the end of each month thereafter until the earliest of the end of the Employment Period, three years following the Date of Termination, or until the Executive shall attain the age of 65 years, but in no event beyond the end of the month in which the death of the Executive shall have occurred or the end of the sixth month following the Disability Effective Date (such period to be called the "Termination Period"), the Corporation shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to the Highest Average Monthly Compensation; provided, however, that such amount shall be reduced by any other amounts payable to the Executive in respect of salary or bonus continuation to be received by the Executive under any severance plan, policy or arrangement of the Corporation; and, provided, further, that if the Date of Termination occurs on or after the occurrence of a Change of Control, such amount shall be paid as a lump-sum within 30 days following the Date of Termination, such lump-sum calculated based upon the present value (within the meaning of Section 28OG(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code")) of the payments which would be made absent the Change of Control; and 17

23 (iii) During the Termination Period, or such longer period as any plan, program, practice or policy may provide, the Corporation shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in Section 3(d) above if the Executive's employment had not been terminated in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies as in effect and applicable generally to other senior executives of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies and their families during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other senior executives of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies and their families, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility (such continuation of such benefits for the applicable period herein set forth shall be hereinafter referred to as "Welfare Benefit Continuation"). For purposes of determining eligibility of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until the end of the Termination Period and to have retired on the date of the end of the Termination Period. To the extent that any benefits referred to in this Section 5(a)(iii) shall not be payable or provided under any such plan by reason of the Executive's no longer being an employee of the Corporation as the result of Termination, the Corporation shall itself pay, or provide for payment of, such benefits and the service credit for benefits provided for in Section 5(a)(iv) below, to the Executive, his dependents and Beneficiary; and (iv) The period from the Date of Termination until the end of the Termination Period shall be considered: 18

24 (1) Service with the Corporation for the purpose of continued credits under the employee benefit plans referred to in Section 3(d) above and all other benefit plans of the Corporation applicable to the Executive or his Beneficiary as in effect immediately prior to Termination but prior to any reduction of benefits thereunder as the result of amendment or termination during the Employment Period; (2) Service within the meaning of Section 3(j)(viii) above for purposes of Section 3(j) above; and (3) Employment with the Corporation for purposes of determining payments and other rights in respect of awards made or accrued and award opportunities granted prior to Termination under the executive incentive plans referred to in Section 3(c) above and all other incentive plans of the Corporation in which the Executive was a participant prior to Termination; and (v) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Corporation shall timely pay or provide to the Executive and/or the Executive's family any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive and/or the Executive's family is eligible to receive pursuant to this Agreement and under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies as in effect and applicable generally to other senior executives of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies and their families during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally thereafter with respect to other senior executives of the Corporation and its Affiliated Companies and their families (such other amounts and benefits shall be referred to below as the "Other Benefits"). (b) TERMINATION ON OR AFTER CHANGE OF CONTROL. If Termination shall have occurred coincidental with a Change of Control or during the Change of Control Period, any provision of Section 5(a)(iv) above or of the ACP to the contrary notwithstanding, upon such Termination, the Corporation shall 19

25 pay or distribute to the Executive on an accelerated basis, to the extent, if any, not theretofore accelerated, any and all outstanding Short-Term Awards, or installments thereof, under the ACP that shall have been awarded to the Executive prior to Termination and deferred for payment subsequent to termination of employment, with any such accelerated payment based on the value, determined in accordance with such plan (or successor plan), of such awards or installments (and any increments thereon) on the Termination Date, and such accelerated payment or distribution shall constitute a complete discharge of the Corporation's obligation in respect of the Short-Term Awards so paid or distributed. (c) CAUSE; OTHER THAN FOR GOOD REASON. If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, the Corporation shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement other than the obligation to pay the Executive's Annual Base Salary, any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon), and accrued vacation pay through the Date of Termination, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid, and any other amounts or benefits to which the Executive and/or the Executive's family is otherwise entitled under the terms of any employee benefit or incentive plan of the Corporation. If the Executive terminates employment during the Employment Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason following a Change of Control, the Corporation shall have no further obligations to the Executive, other than to pay the Executive's Annual Base Salary, any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon), and accrued vacation pay through the termination date, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid, any other benefits to which the Executive and/or the Executive's family is otherwise entitled under the terms of any employee benefit or incentive plan of the Corporation, and, if the Executive is otherwise eligible under the provisions of Section 3(j) of this Agreement, he shall also be entitled to receive the supplemental retirement annuity described in such Section 3(j). (d) DEATH OR DISABILITY. (i) In the event of the death of the Executive during the Employment Period, the legal representative of the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation provided for in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above for the month in which death shall have taken place, at the rate being paid at the time of death, and the Employment Period shall be deemed to have ended as of the close of business on the last day of 20

26 the month in which death shall have occurred but without prejudice to any payments due in respect of the Executive's death. Further, in the event the Executive should die prior to terminating Service with the Corporation, the Executive's surviving spouse or Beneficiary, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive the supplemental retirement annuity pursuant to Section 3(j)(iv). (ii) In the event of the Disability of the Executive during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation provided for in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above, at the rate being paid on the Disability Effective Date, for the period of such Disability but not in excess of six months. The amount of any payments due under this Section 5(d)(ii) shall be reduced by any payments to which the Executive may be entitled for the same period because of disability under any disability or pension plan of the Corporation or of any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof. (e) RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES. (i) RIGHT OF ELECTION BY EXECUTIVE TO ARBITRATE OR SUE. In the event that the Executive's employment shall be terminated by the Corporation during the Employment Period and such termination is alleged to be for Cause, or the Executive's right to terminate his employment under Section 4(c) above shall be questioned by the Corporation, or the Corporation shall withhold payments or provision of benefits for any other reason, the Executive shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law, at his election either to seek arbitration within the Toledo, Ohio area under the rules of the American Arbitration Association by serving a notice to arbitrate upon the Corporation or to institute a judicial proceeding, in either case within ninety days after having received notice of termination of his employment or notice in any form that the termination of his employment under Section 4(b) above is subject to question or that the Corporation is withholding or proposes to withhold payments or provision of benefits. (ii) THIRD-PARTY STAKEHOLDER. In the event that the Corporation defaults on any obligation set forth in Section 5(a) above, relating to Termination, and shall have failed to remedy such default within thirty (30) days after having received written 21

27 notice of such default from the Executive, in addition to all other rights and remedies that the Executive may have as a result of such default, the Executive may demand and the Corporation shall thereupon be required to deposit, with the third-party stakeholder hereinafter described, an amount equal to the undiscounted value of any and all undischarged, future obligations of the Corporation under Section 5(a) above and such amount shall thereafter be held, paid, applied or distributed by such third-party stakeholder for the purpose of satisfying such undischarged, future obligations of the Corporation when and to the extent that they become due and payable. Any interest or other income on such amount shall be retained by the third-party stakeholder and applied, if necessary, by it to satisfy such obligations, provided, however, that any interest or other income that is earned on such undischarged, future obligations after the date that the third-party stakeholder determines, in its sole discretion, that such obligations are due and owing to the Executive, shall be paid to the Executive as earned. To the extent not theretofore expended, such amount (including any remaining unexpended interest or other income) shall be repaid to the Corporation at such time as the third-party stakeholder, in its sole discretion, reasonably exercised, determines, upon the advice of counsel and after consultation with the Corporation and the Executive or, in the event of his death, his Beneficiary, that all obligations of the Corporation under Section 5(a) above have been substantially satisfied. Such amount shall, in the event of any question, be determined jointly by the firm of certified public accountants regularly employed by the Corporation and a firm of certified public accountants selected by the Executive, in each case upon the advice of actuaries to the extent the certified public accountants consider necessary, and, in the event such two firms of accountants are unable to agree on a resolution of the question, such amount shall be determined by an independent firm of certified public accountants selected jointly by both firms of accountants. The third-party stakeholder, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Corporation, shall be a national or state bank or trust company 22

28 having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits and reserves of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) which is duly authorized and qualified to do business in the state in which the Executive resides at the time of such default. (f) BENEFITS ARE IN ADDITION TO SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the payments, benefits, service credit for benefits and other matters provided by this Section 5, including without limitation Section 5(a) above, in the event of a Termination, are in addition to any payments, benefits, service credit for benefits and other matters provided by Section 3(j) above relating to a supplemental retirement annuity that may apply in such event. 6 Non-exclusivity of Rights. ------------------------- Except as provided in Sections 5(a)(ii), 5(b) and 5(c) above, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Corporation or any of its Affiliated Companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement entered into after the date hereof with the Corporation or any of its Affiliated Companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into after the date hereof with, the Corporation or any of its Affiliated Companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 7 Full Settlement. --------------- The Corporation's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Corporation may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as provided in Section 5(a)(iii) above, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. 23

29 8 Golden Parachute Tax Payments. ----------------------------- (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution involving a change of control of the Corporation, by the Corporation or any other person or entity, to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 8) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision) or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") from the Corporation in an amount such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. (b) All calculations and determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Price Waterhouse (or any successor thereto by merger or operation of law) (the "Accounting Firm"). In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change of control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Corporation. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 8, shall be paid by the Corporation to the Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive's applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Executive. 24

30 (c) The Executive shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Corporation of the Gross-Up Payment. The Corporation shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such claim and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c), the Corporation shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or to contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Corporation shall determine; provided, however, that if the Corporation directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Corporation shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance.

Exhibit 13

Management Statement

      We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related information included herein for the three years ended December 31, 2000.

      The management of Dana Corporation is primarily responsible for the accuracy of the financial information that is presented in this annual report. These statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, where appropriate, we used our estimates and judgment with consideration to materiality.

      To meet management’s responsibility for financial reporting, we have established internal control systems which we believe are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that our assets are protected from loss. These systems produce data used for the preparation of financial information.

      We believe internal control systems should be designed to provide accurate information at a reasonable cost which is not out of line with the benefits to be received. These systems and controls are reviewed by our internal auditors in order to ensure compliance, and by our independent accountants to support their audit work.

      The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets regularly with management, internal auditors and our independent accountants to review accounting, auditing and financial matters. Our Audit Committee is composed of only outside directors. This committee and the independent accountants have free access to each other with or without management being present.

      We believe people are Dana’s most important asset. The proper selection, training and development of our people is a means of ensuring that effective internal controls and fair, uniform reporting are maintained as standard practice throughout the Company.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Dana Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of income, of shareholders’ equity and of cash flows, including pages 22 through 39, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dana Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report 2000    25


Notes to Financial Statements
in millions except share and per share amounts

Note 1.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Dana is a global leader in the engineering, manufacturing and distribution of components and systems for worldwide vehicular and industrial manufacturers and the related aftermarkets and a leading provider of lease financing services in selected markets through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Credit Corporation (DCC).

      The preparation of these financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Some of the more significant estimates include depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets; deferred tax assets and inventory valuations; sales returns, restructuring, environmental and warranty accruals; postemployment and postretirement benefits; residual values of leased assets and allowances for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      The following summary of significant accounting policies should help you evaluate the financial statements. Certain amounts in 1998 and 1999 have been reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

      The consolidated financial statements include all significant subsidiaries in which we have the ability to control operating and financial policies. Affiliated companies (20% to 50% ownership) are generally recorded in the statements using the equity method of accounting. Operations of affiliates accounted for on the equity method of accounting are generally included for periods ended within one month of our year end. Less than 20%-owned companies are included in the financial statements at the cost of our investment. Dividends, royalties and fees from these cost basis affiliates are recorded in income when received.

Foreign Currency Translation

      The financial statements of subsidiaries and equity affiliates outside the United States (U.S.) located in non-highly inflationary economies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate as the functional currency, which for the most part is the local currency. Transaction gains and losses which result from translating assets and liabilities of these entities into the functional currency are included in net earnings. When translating into U.S. dollars, income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange and assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from translating the functional currency into U.S. dollars are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. For affiliates operating in highly inflationary economies, non-monetary assets are translated into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates and monetary assets are translated at current exchange rates. Translation adjustments for these affiliates are included in net earnings.

Inventories

      Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is generally determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for U.S. inventories and on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost basis for non-U.S. inventories.

Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements

      The cost of tooling that we own that is used to make products sold under long-term supply arrangements is capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and amortized over its useful life. These costs are also capitalized if our customer owns the tooling and we have a noncancelable right to use the tooling over the contract period. Costs incurred in connection with the design and development of tooling that will be billed to customers upon completion is carried as a component of other accounts receivable. Design and development costs related to customer products are deferred if we have an agreement to collect such costs from the customer; otherwise, they are expensed as incurred.

Lease Financing

      Lease financing consists of direct financing leases, leveraged leases and equipment on operating leases. Income on direct financing leases is recognized by a method which produces a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding investment in the lease. Income on leveraged leases is recognized by a method which produces a constant rate of return on the outstanding net investment in the lease, net of the related deferred tax liability, in the years in which the net investment is positive. Initial direct costs are deferred and amortized using the interest method over the lease period. Equipment under operating leases is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Income from operating leases is recognized ratably over the term of the leases.

Allowance for Losses on Lease Financing

      Provisions for losses on lease financing receivables are determined based on loss experience and assessment of inherent risk. Adjustments are made to the allowance for losses to adjust the net investment in lease financing to an estimated collectible amount. Income recognition is generally discontinued on accounts which are contractually past due and where no payment activity has occurred within 120 days. Accounts are charged against the allowance for losses when determined to be uncollectible. Accounts where equipment repossession has started as the primary means of recovery are classified within other assets at their estimated realizable value.

Goodwill

      Cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of expected benefit, ranging from 10 to 40 years.

Loans Receivable

      Loans receivable consist primarily of loans to partnerships in which DCC has an interest and loans secured by equipment and first mortgages on real property. The loans to partnerships are secured by the partnerships’ assets. Income on all loans is recognized using the interest method. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized as cash is collected or on a cost recovery basis.

Allowance for Losses on Loans Receivable

      Provisions for losses on loans receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience and assessment of inherent risk. Adjustments are made to the allowance for losses to adjust loans receivable to an estimated collectible amount. Income

recognition is generally discontinued on accounts which are contractually past due and where no payment activity has occurred within 120 days. Accounts are charged against the allowance for losses when determined to be uncollectible.

Properties and Depreciation

      Property, plant and equipment are valued at historical costs. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives using primarily the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated depreciation methods for federal income tax purposes. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment and where appropriate are adjusted to fair market value.

Revenue Recognition

      Sales are recognized when products are shipped. Accruals for warranty costs, sales returns and other allowances are provided at the time of shipment based upon experience. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in sales and the costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of sales.

Income Taxes

      Current tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on the tax returns for the current year. Deferred tax balances reflect the impact of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Amounts are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits not expected to be realized. The “flow-through” method of accounting is used for investment tax credits, except for investment tax credits arising from leveraged leases and certain direct financing leases for which the deferred method is used for financial statement purposes.

Financial Instruments

      The reported fair values of financial instruments are based on a variety of factors. Where available, fair values represent quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of credit risk. Fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future.

Derivative Financial Instruments

      Various types of derivative financial instruments are used primarily to hedge interest rate and foreign currency effects. Derivatives are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Gains and losses relating to qualifying hedges of firm commitments or anticipated transactions are deferred and recognized as adjustments of carrying amounts when the hedged transaction occurs. Interest rate swaps are primarily used to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Differentials to be paid or received on certain interest rate agreements are accrued and recognized as adjustments to interest expense.

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” was issued in June 1998 and SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Transactions,” was issued in June 2000. The Statements require, among other things, that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. We will adopt SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 in 2001. Interest rate swap arrangements are being formally designated as hedges and will be marked to market through other comprehensive income beginning in 2001. Foreign currency forwards and other derivatives are not being designated as hedges and will be marked to market through current earnings. We will evaluate these transactions from time to time to determine whether they should be designated as hedges. The adoption of SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 will not have a material effect on the results of operations.

Environmental Compliance and Remediation

      Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are based upon current laws and regulations, existing technology and the most probable method of remediation. The costs are not discounted and exclude the effects of inflation and other societal and economic factors. If the cost estimates result in a range of equally probable amounts, the lower end of the range is accrued.

Pension Plans

      Annual net periodic pension costs under defined benefit pension plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Our policy is to fund these costs as accrued, including amortization of the initial unrecognized net obligation over 15 years and obligations arising due to plan amendments over the period benefited, through deposits with trustees. Benefits are determined based upon employees’ length of service, wages or a combination of length of service and wages.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

      Annual net postretirement benefits liability and expense under the defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Our policy is to pay these benefits as they become due. Benefits are determined primarily based upon employees’ length of service and include applicable employee cost sharing.

Postemployment Benefits

      Annual net postemployment benefits liability and expense under our benefit plans are accrued as service is rendered for those obligations that accumulate or vest and can be reasonably estimated. Obligations that do not accumulate or vest are recorded when payment of the benefits is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Statement of Cash Flows

      For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

      The majority of our marketable securities satisfy the criteria for cash equivalents and are classified accordingly. The remainder of our marketable securities are classified as available for sale. Available-for-sale securities, which are included in investments and other assets, are carried at fair value and any

Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

unrealized gains or losses, net of income taxes, are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in shareholders’ equity.

Stock-Based Compensation

      Stock-based compensation is accounted for using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No compensation expense is recorded for stock options when granted as the option price is set at the market value of the underlying stock.

Note 2. Preferred Share Purchase Rights

      We have a Preferred Share Purchase Rights Plan which is designed to deter coercive or unfair takeover tactics. One right has been issued on each share of our common stock outstanding on and after July 25, 1996. Under certain circumstances, the holder of each right may purchase 1/1000th of a share of our Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value. The rights have no voting privileges and will expire on July 15, 2006, unless exercised, redeemed or exchanged sooner.

      Generally, the rights cannot be exercised or transferred apart from the shares to which they are attached. However, if any person or group acquires 15% or more of our outstanding common stock or commences a tender offer that would result in the acquirer owning 15% of our outstanding shares, the rights not owned by the acquirer will become exercisable and, for the exercise price of $110 per share (unless adjusted), holders of these rights will be able to purchase Dana common shares at 50% of the market value. If we merge with or sell 50% or more of our assets or earnings power to the acquirer or engage in similar transactions, the rights not held by the acquirer can also be exercised. In that event, for the $110 exercise price, the holders will be able to purchase common shares of the acquiring or surviving company at 50% of market value.

      The Board may redeem the rights at a price of $.01 each before anyone acquires 15% or more of our common shares. After that, and before the acquirer owns 50% of our outstanding shares, the Board may exchange each right for one share of our common stock.

Note 3. Preferred Shares

      There are 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, without par value, including 1,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Rights Plan. No shares of preferred stock have been issued.

Note 4. Common Shares

      Certain employee and director stock plans provide that employees and directors may tender stock to satisfy the purchase price of the shares, the income taxes required to be withheld on the transaction, or both. In connection with these stock plans, we repurchased 299,082 shares in 1998, 304,927 in 1999 and 91,074 in 2000.

      During 1999, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized the expenditure of up to $350 to repurchase shares of our common stock and in 2000 it authorized an additional expenditure of $250 for a total authorization of $600. The authorizations expired at the end of 2000. The repurchases were accomplished through open market transactions. In 1999, we repurchased 2,994,400 shares at an aggregate cost of $100 and in 2000, 15,455,747 shares were repurchased at a cost of $381.

      All shares repurchased were cancelled and became authorized but unissued shares.

      Common stock transactions in the last three years are as follows:

1999 2000

Raw materials $ 534 $ 436
Work in process and finished goods 1,250 1,128

$ 1,784 $ 1,564

      Inventories amounting to $1,161 and $1,005 at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively, are valued using the LIFO method. If all inventories were valued at replacement cost, inventories would be increased by $135 and $119 at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Note 6. Short-Term Debt

      Short-term funds for certain U.S. and non-U.S. operations are obtained from issuing commercial paper, short-term notes payable to banks and bank overdrafts.

      At December 31, 2000, Dana, excluding DCC, had $427 of commercial paper outstanding, $300 borrowed against committed U.S. bank lines, $40 borrowed against uncommitted U.S. bank lines, $143 of non-U.S. notes and $96 of notes payable at its non-U.S. subsidiaries. DCC had $406 of commercial paper issued, $75 borrowed against uncommitted U.S. bank lines and $39 of notes payable at its non-U.S. subsidiaries.

      Dana, excluding DCC, had committed borrowing lines of $1,665 and uncommitted borrowing lines of $639 at December 31, 2000. DCC had committed borrowing lines of $570 and uncommitted borrowing lines of $180 at December 31, 2000. Fees are paid to the banks for providing committed lines, but not for uncommitted lines. Such fees are not considered material.

      Selected details of short-term borrowings are as follows:

                 
Weighted
Average
Interest
Amount Rate

Balance at December 31, 1999 $ 968 6.0 %

Average during 2000 1,614 6.6
Maximum during 2000 (month end) 1,872 6.7

Note 7. Interest Rate Agreements

      We enter into interest rate agreements to manage interest rate risk by reducing our exposure to the effects of future interest rate movements. Under interest rate swap agreements, we agree to exchange with third parties, at specific intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. At December 31, 2000, DCC was committed to receive interest rates which change periodically in line with prevailing short-term market rates (the average rate being received at December 31, 2000 was 7.10%) and to pay an average rate of 7.00% which is fixed over the period of the agreements on notional amounts of $125. DCC’s notional amounts of interest rate swaps expire as follows: 2001, $30; 2002, $50 and 2003, $45. Dana, exclusive of DCC, was not a party to any interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2000.

In March 1999, we issued $250 of 6.25% unsecured notes due March 1, 2004, $350 of 6.5% unsecured notes due March 1, 2009 and $400 of 7.0% unsecured notes due March 1, 2029.

      During 1999, DCC established a $500 Medium-Term Note Program. Notes under the program are offered on terms determined at the time of issuance. At December 31, 2000, notes totaling $500 were outstanding under the program. Interest on the notes is payable on a semi-annual basis. These notes are general, unsecured obligations of DCC. DCC has agreed that it will not issue any other notes which are secured or senior to notes issued under the program, except as permitted by the program.

      Interest paid on short-term and long-term debt was $283 in 1998, $285 in 1999 and $314 in 2000.

Note 9. Stock Option Plans

      The Compensation Committee of the Board grants stock options to selected Dana employees under the 1997 Stock Option Plan. The option price is equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant. One-fourth of the options granted become exercisable at each of the first four anniversary dates of the grant; options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may be granted separately or in conjunction with the options.

      This is a summary of transactions under the plan in the last three years:

      At December 31, 2000, there were 1,503,658 shares available for future grants under this plan.

      In accordance with our accounting policy for stock-based compensation, we have not recognized any expense relating to these stock options. If we had used the fair value method of accounting, the alternative policy set out in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the after-tax expense relating to the stock options would have been $12 in 1998, $11 in 1999 and $14 in 2000. If we had charged this expense to income, our pro forma net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:

                         
1998 1999 2000

Net Income $ 522 $ 502 $ 320
Basic EPS 3.16 3.03 2.10
Diluted EPS 3.13 3.01 2.09

      The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

                         
1998 1999 2000

Risk-free interest rate 4.24 - 5.52 % 5.82% 6.16%
Dividend yield 2.21 - 2.87 % 2.73% 5.38%
Expected life 5.4 years 5.4 years 5.4 years
Stock price volatility 30.1 - 33.7 % 38.60% 40.72%

      Based on the above assumptions, the weighted average fair value per share of options granted under the plan was $14.27 in 1998, $15.79 in 1999 and $6.51 in 2000.

      Under our Directors’ Stock Option Plan, options for 3,000 common shares are automatically granted to each non-employee director once a year. The option price is the market value of the stock at the date of grant. The options can be exercised after one year and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

      This is a summary of the stock option activity of the Directors’ plan in the last three years:

30    DANA CORPORATION


      The non-employee directors of Echlin participated in the 1996 Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plan under which options for 232,325 shares were authorized for issuance. Options were granted at market value at the date of grant, were exercisable after one year and expire 10 years from the date of grant, except in the event of the retirement or death of the director. During 1998, options to purchase 17,654 shares were exercised at $33.49. During 1999, options to purchase 39,265 shares were exercised at $35.43. No options were exercised in 2000. At December 31, 2000, there were 38,752 options outstanding and exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $33.49 to $37.93 per share with a weighted average exercise price of $34.40. The weighted average remaining contractual life of these options was 6.2 years. No future grants are expected under this plan.

Note 10. Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan

      The majority of our full-time U.S. and some of our non-U.S. employees are eligible to participate in our stock purchase plan. Plan participants can authorize us to withhold up to 15% of their earnings and deposit this amount with an independent custodian. The custodian uses the funds to purchase our common stock at current market prices. As record keeper for the plan, we allocate the purchased shares to the participants’ accounts. Shares are distributed to the participants on request.

      We match up to 50% of the participants’ contributions over a five-year period beginning with the year the amounts are withheld. If a participant withdraws any shares before the end of five years, the amount of our match will depend on how long the shares were in the account. The custodian purchased 874,272 shares in 1998, 1,177,541 shares in 1999 and 2,212,391 shares in 2000. The charge to expense for our match was $9 in 1998, $9 in 1999 and $10 in 2000.

Note 11. Additional Compensation Plans

      We have numerous additional compensation plans under which we pay our employees for increased productivity and improved performance. One such plan is our Additional Compensation Plan for certain officers and other key employees. Under this plan, a percentage of the participants’ compensation is accrued for additional compensation if we attain certain profit levels. The Compensation Committee selects the participants and determines whether to pay the awards immediately in cash or to defer them for payment later in cash, stock or a combination of both. Participants may elect to convert deferred awards to units which are the economic equivalent of shares of Dana common stock. Units are credited the equivalent of dividends on our common stock and adjusted in value based on the market value of our common stock. Compensation expense was credited $3 in 1998, $3 in 1999 and $7 in 2000 in connection with reductions in the value of deferred units. Awards not converted to units are credited quarterly with interest earned at a rate tied to the prime rate.

      Activity related to the plan for the last three years is as follows:

                         
1998 1999 2000

Awarded to participants based on preceding year’s performance $ 14 $ 14 $ 15
Dividends and interest credited to participants’ accounts 1 4 2
Charges to expense 9 19 (5 )
Shares issued to participants 1,143 3,721 5,240

      We also have a Restricted Stock Plan under which the Compensation Committee grants restricted common shares to certain key employees. The shares are subject to forfeiture until the restrictions lapse or terminate. Generally, the employee must remain employed with us for a specified number of years after the date of grant to receive shares. There were 55,100 shares granted in 1998, 102,500 shares in 1999 and 31,200 shares in 2000. Since 1997, participants have been able to convert their restricted stock into restricted stock units under certain conditions. The units are payable in unrestricted stock upon retirement or termination of employment. There were 200,037 restricted shares converted to restricted units in 1999 and 32,736 in 2000. Charges to expense for this plan were $1 in 1998, $2 in 1999 and $2 in 2000. There are 652,268 shares authorized for future issuance under the plan at December 31, 2000.

Note 13. Business Segments

      Our operations are organized into seven market-focused Strategic Business Units (SBUs). This structure allows our people in each of these units to focus their resources to benefit Dana and our global customers. We realigned certain businesses within our SBU structure in 2000. The most significant change was shifting our fluid handling products operations from the Engine Systems Group (ESG) to the Fluid Systems Group (FSG). The segment information was restated to reflect these changes.

      The Automotive Systems Group (ASG) designs, develops and manufactures “under the vehicle” products for passenger cars and light trucks. Its global, full-service engineering provides its customers with complete modules and systems. In the automotive market, the group is a leading manufacturer of axles, driveshafts, structural components and modules and chassis systems.

      The Automotive Aftermarket Group (AAG) provides more than 300,000 different parts to cover a vast array of aftermarket needs for brake and chassis products, filtration products and engine systems.

      The Heavy Truck Group (HTG) serves the global market for class 5 through 8 trucks. Products include heavy axles and brakes, drivetrain components, power take-offs, trailer products and heavy systems modular assemblies.

      The ESG provides its customers with complete engine systems for their sealing and power cylinder needs. Its products include gaskets and other sealing products, piston rings, bearings, liners and camshafts.

      The FSG manufactures an extensive line of products focused on the pumping, routing and thermal management of fluid systems for a wide range of applications, from passenger cars to heavy trucks and off-highway vehicles. Products include an extensive line of rubber hose, fluid products and fluid management systems.

      The Off-Highway Systems Group (OHSG) manufactures and markets off-highway axles, powershift transmissions, transaxles, torque converters and electronic controls.

      Dana Credit Corporation (DCC) provides leasing and financing services to a broad range of customers in selected markets around the world.

      With the exception of DCC, operating profit after taxes (PAT) represents earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), tax effected at 39% (our estimated long-term effective rate), plus equity in earnings of affiliates. The Other category includes discontinued businesses, trailing liabilities for closed plants, interest expense net of interest income, corporate expenses and adjustments to reflect the actual effective tax rate. SBU and regional expenses are included in the respective SBU or region; otherwise they are included in Other. In arriving at net profit from operating PAT, allocations are based on sales.

      Net assets at the SBU and regional level is intended to correlate with invested capital. It includes accounts receivable, inventories (on a first-in, first-out basis), net property, plant and equipment, investments in affiliates, goodwill, trade accounts payable and 2% of annualized sales as an assumption for cash and prepaid expense.

      DCC is evaluated based upon numerous criteria of which net profit and net assets (equity investment) shown above are the major items.

      Restructuring and non-recurring items consist of the restructuring and integration charges discussed in Note 20, gains on sales of business discussed in Note 19 and other non-recurring charges.

      Sales by region are based on the location of the entity recording the sale. Sales from the U.S. amounted to $8,784 in 1998, $9,413 in 1999 and $8,552 in 2000. No other country’s sales exceeded 10% of total sales. U.S. long-lived assets were $1,835 in 1999 and $1,865 in 2000. No other country’s long-lived assets exceeded 10% of total long-lived assets.

      Net operating assets differ from consolidated assets as follows:

      The difference between operating capital spend and depreciation shown above and purchases of property, plant and equipment and depreciation shown on the cash flow statement represents the method of measuring DCC for operating purposes. DCC’s capital spend and depreciation are not included above. In addition, DCC purchases equipment and leases the equipment to the other SBUs. These operating leases are included in the consolidated statements as purchases of assets and depreciated over their useful lives.

      Export sales from the U.S. to customers outside the U.S. amounted to $756 in 1998, $939 in 1999 and $832 in 2000. Total export sales (including sales to our non-U.S. subsidiaries which are eliminated for financial statement presentation) were $1,001 in 1998, $1,229 in 1999 and $1,115 in 2000.

      Worldwide sales to Ford Motor Company and subsidiaries amounted to $1,911 in 1998, $2,130 in 1999 and $2,396 in 2000, which represented 15%, 16% and 19% of our consolidated sales. Sales to DaimlerChrysler AG and subsidiaries were $1,602 in 1998, $1,777 in 1999 and $1,669 in 2000 representing 13%, 14% and 14% of our consolidated sales. Sales to Ford were primarily from our ASG and FSG segments, while sales to DaimlerChrysler were primarily from the ASG and HTG segments. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated sales.

been a taxpayer, and Germany and Brazil, where operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely.

      Cumulative undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries for which U.S. income taxes, exclusive of foreign tax credits, have not been provided approximated $935 at December 31, 2000. U.S. income taxes have not been provided on these undistributed earnings since we intend to permanently reinvest them. If the total undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries had been remitted in 2000, a significant amount of the additional tax provision would have been offset by foreign tax credits.

      We paid income taxes of $228 in 1998, $136 in 1999 and $98 in 2000.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

      At December 31, 2000, we had purchase commitments for property, plant and equipment of approximately $166. DCC had commitments to provide loan and lease financing in the aggregate amount of $60. Subsequent financing under the DCC commitments is subject to satisfactory completion of normal conditions precedent to the execution of such lease financing arrangements.

      At December 31, 2000, we had contingent obligations of up to $130 related to guarantees of third-party loans to equity affiliates.

      Future minimum rental commitments under operating leases were $367 at December 31, 2000, with rental payments during the next five years of: 2001, $67; 2002, $64; 2003, $55; 2004, $49 and 2005, $41. Net rental expense was $119 in 1998, $117 in 1999 and $103 in 2000.

      We are a party to various pending judicial and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These include, among others, proceedings based on product liability claims and alleged violations of various environmental laws. We have reviewed the proceedings that are currently pending including the probable outcomes, reasonably anticipated costs and expenses, availability and limits of our insurance coverage and our established reserves for uninsured liabilities. We do not believe that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 18. Acquisitions

      In 1998, we acquired the heavy axle and brake business of Eaton Corporation; General Automotive Specialty Company, Inc. (GAS); a 98-percent share of the capital of Nakata S.A. Industria e Comercio (Nakata); full ownership of SIMESC-Parish, our Brazilian structural components manufacturing company; the Glacier Vandervell Bearings Group and the AE Clevite North American non-bearing aftermarket engine hard parts business. GAS manufactures motor switches and locks. SIMESC-Parish, which has been renamed Dana Parish Produtos Estruturais, S.A., produces a range of structural products, including full frames and heavy-truck side rails. Nakata and its subsidiaries are the leading Brazilian manufacturers of suspension components, such as tie rods and ball joints. Glacier Vandervell produces and distributes products, primarily engine bearings, used in passenger car and light-duty vehicle applications for both original equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket. The AE Clevite business distributes products such as camshafts, valves and other valvetrain, timing and cylinder components to the automotive aftermarket.

      These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the dates of acquisition. Sales in 1998 were $784 higher than 1997 as a result of acquisitions and total assets of companies acquired in 1998 amounted to $980.

      In July 1998, we completed the merger with Echlin Inc. by exchanging 59.6 million shares of our common stock for all of the common stock of Echlin. Each share of Echlin was exchanged for .9293 of one share of our common stock. In addition, the outstanding Echlin stock options were converted at the same exchange ratio into options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock.

      The merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and all prior period consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Echlin.

      In 1999, we acquired Innovative Manufacturing, Inc., a machining operation that supplies machined castings to our Outdoor Power Equipment Components Division. We also acquired the remaining interests not previously owned in Industrias Serva S.A. (30 percent), Dana Heavy Axle Mexico S.A. de C.V. (9 percent), Automotive Motion Technology Limited (49 percent) and Echlin Charger Mfg. Co. Pty. Ltd. (8 percent). These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and the results of operations and earnings previously allocated to minority owners have been included from the dates of acquisition. The sales and total assets were not material.

      In January 2000, we acquired the cardan-jointed propeller shaft business of GKN plc. In March, we acquired a majority interest in Tribometal a.s., a manufacturer of polymer bearings. The automotive axle manufacturing and stamping operations of Invensys plc were acquired in July. In November, we acquired a 30-percent interest in GETRAG Cie, a manufacturer of transmissions, transaxles, axles and other automotive components, and a 49-percent interest in GETRAG’s North American operations. Except for the interests in GETRAG, which are being accounted for as equity investments, the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the results of their operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The acquisitions accounted for as purchases had total assets of $373 at acquisition and recorded sales of $195 since the dates of acquisition.

Note 19. Divestitures

      In February 1998, we completed the sale of our hydraulic brake hose facilities in Columbia City, Ind. and Garching, Germany. In April 1998, we sold our Midland-Grau heavy-duty brake operations. In June 1998, we completed the sale of our hydraulic cylinder business. In December 1998, DCC completed the sale of its Technology Leasing Group portfolio resulting in an after-tax gain of $76. These operations contributed sales of $471 in 1997; through the dates of divestiture, 1998 sales for these operations totaled $140.

      In October 1999, we sold the Coldform operations of our Engine Systems Group and in November we sold Sierra International Inc. Coldform manufactured starter components, steering hubs and suspension components and Sierra manufactured and distributed marine and power equipment engine, drive and hose products. Annual sales of these operations were approximately $50.

      In January 2000, we sold our Gresen Hydraulics business, the Truckline Parts Centres heavy-duty distribution business and certain portions of our constant velocity (CV) joint businesses. In February, we sold most of the global Warner Electric businesses and, in March, we sold Commercial Vehicle Cab Systems. In September 2000, we sold the remaining 35% interest in our Brazilian CV joint operation. Net gain recorded on these divestitures totaled $106. These businesses reported sales of $666 in 1999; through the dates of divestiture, 2000 sales for these operations totaled $103.

Note 20. Restructuring of Operations

      In the fourth quarter of 1998, we finalized our synergy plans for integrating the operations of Echlin into our businesses and recorded restructuring and integration charges of $138. Of this amount $118 was charged to restructuring and $20, for writing down inventory, was charged to cost of sales. The announced restructuring and integration plans included the closing of eight facilities (seven in the AAG and one in the ESG) and a workforce reduction of approximately 2,450 people.

      During 1999, we continued executing the Echlin restructuring plan announced in 1998, including the closing and downsizing of facilities begun in 1998. We also incurred integration charges of $51 for relocating assets, training and relocating employees and other integration activities at the acquired operations. These costs were charged to expense as incurred.

      During the fourth quarter of 1999, we announced plans to downsize and close additional operations in the U.S., South America and Europe and recorded restructuring and integration charges totaling $170. The charges included the costs of exiting businesses, asset impairments and termination benefits. The announced restructuring and integration plans included closing five facilities, downsizing three facilities and terminating 1,280 people. The largest component of these plans was the downsizing of our Reading, Pa. structures facility. In total, $229 million was charged to income during the year. This amount consisted of $181 charged to restructuring and integration, $57 charged to cost of sales and a $9 gain on the sale of Sierra credited to other income.

      During the third quarter of 2000, we announced plans to close our Reading, Pa. structures facility and terminate approximately 690 people and recorded restructuring charges of $53. In the fourth quarter, we approved plans to close facilities in France, the United Kingdom and Argentina, resulting in $34 of charges and a workforce reduction of approximately 230 people. We also incurred integration expenses in 2000 related to consolidating our Engine Controls warehouse operations and moving operations from closed facilities.

Balance at December 31, 2000 97 70 255

      At December 31, 2000, $113 of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities. This balance was comprised of $93 for workforce reductions of approximately 420 employees to be completed in 2001 and $20 for lease terminations and other exit costs. We estimate that cash expenditures will be approximately $81 in 2001, $14 in 2002 and $18 thereafter. Our liquidity and cash flows will not be materially impacted by these actions. It is anticipated that our operations over the long term will benefit from these realignment strategies.

Note 21. Noncash Investing and Financing Activities

      In leveraged leases, the issuance of nonrecourse debt financing and subsequent repayments thereof are transacted directly between the lessees and the lending parties to the transactions. Nonrecourse debt issued to finance DCC’s investment in leveraged leases was $225 in 1998, $878 in 1999 and $403 in 2000; nonrecourse debt obligations repaid were $182 in 1998, $273 in 1999 and $106 in 2000.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

dollars in millions

      We faced numerous challenges in 2000, in both the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and automotive aftermarket sectors, internally and externally, domestically and abroad. North American light vehicle production reached 17.2 million units in 2000, mainly on the strength of the first half of the year. By December, OEM production schedules were 16% below those of December 1999, a gap that widened even more in January 2001. This decline has been marked by sharp and sudden shifts in demand for our products, creating operating inefficiencies that are reflected in our margins. Heavy truck production also started the year at near-record volume, only to drop by 40% in the second half in reaction to high retail inventory and slowing demand. The automotive aftermarket was especially soft in the United States and we experienced numerous problems as we attempted to consolidate certain of our domestic warehouses. The euro lost nearly 16% of its value against the dollar in the first ten months of the year before rebounding in November and December to finish the year down 6%. Currency fluctuations overall reduced our sales by $279 and our net income by $10. Our operating units took steps to reduce capacity and costs in the second half of 2000 in response to reduced demand. In the fourth quarter, we recognized approximately $27 of equity losses related to our 49%-owned affiliate in Venezuela.

      There were accomplishments in 2000 as well. We completed several divestitures that were announced in 1999 and a number of strategic acquisitions that should provide important opportunities for us in the near future. We made progress toward our goal of reducing working capital and those efforts are continuing in 2001. Our Spicer Driveshaft Division earned the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in manufacturing, the second time in five years that a Dana unit has received a Baldrige Award.

      As we enter 2001, we face ongoing reductions in demand from our major OEM customers as they react to high dealer inventory and lower sales. We have reduced capacity, including workforce reductions of 8,300 people in 2000, and further rationalization of assets and people is continuing in 2001. We also face pricing pressure that will challenge us to reduce costs through improved capital efficiency, advanced technology and continued advancement of our global sourcing initiatives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Operating activities provided cash of $984 in 2000, exceeding the 1999 total by $376. Net income provided $334, a $179 decline from 1999. Included in net income in 2000 is $106 of non-operating gains on divestitures; net income in 1999 included a net gain of $5. Working capital declined by $483 during 2000. While $240 was the net result of acquisitions and divestitures and $51 was due to currency movements, $192 was the direct result of a company-wide initiative to reduce working capital. We are continuing these efforts in 2001. In particular, our Automotive Aftermarket Group is expected to improve inventory intensity in 2001 after fully resolving its warehouse integration problems.

      Investing activities in 2000 used cash of $794 versus $1,101 in 1999. Capital spending was limited to $662, a reduction of $145 from the 1999 level. Purchases of assets to be leased decreased by $289 but investments in partnerships totaled $181 and loans made to customers exceeded payments received by $82 as DCC shifted its focus from direct ownership of leased assets to other forms of investment. Divestitures generated $571 of proceeds during 2000. Completion of several strategic investments required cash of $511.

      Financing activities in 2000 used cash of $122. Included among 2000 activities were $187 of dividend payments and $381 of common stock repurchases versus $206 paid in dividends and $100 spent on stock repurchases in 1999. We repurchased 15,455,747 shares in 2000 under the repurchase program approved by our directors in April 1999 and amended in February 2000, bringing the total shares repurchased under the program to 18,450,147. We did not make any purchases after September 2000 and the program ended December 31, 2000. This share reduction accounts for the $19 reduction in dividends paid. Debt activity included payments on long-term debt of $504 and new borrowings of $368. Short-term borrowings increased a net of $577.

      At December 31, 2000, we had committed and uncommitted bank lines totaling $3,054, DCC having $750 of this figure. To satisfy a significant portion of our short-term financing requirements, we have generally relied on our ability to borrow money through the issuance of commercial paper. However, the debt rating services downgraded our credit ratings in January 2001 and placed Dana on their watch lists, primarily due to the significant downturn experienced in our markets in the fourth quarter. These rating actions, coupled with the volatility and current lack of depth of the commercial paper market, are currently making it difficult for us to issue commercial paper. As a result, we are borrowing against our committed bank lines. We are also exploring other means of supplementing our liquidity. The interest rates on our committed bank lines and the cost of alternative financing may be higher than those historically

experienced in the commercial paper market. We expect that the combination of our committed bank lines, certain asset-based financing sources and cash flow from operations will satisfy our liquidity requirements for the year.

      We have reviewed the liabilities that may result from the legal proceedings to which we are currently a party, 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 liabilities are estimated based on the most probable method of remediation, current laws and regulations and existing technology. Estimates are made on an undiscounted basis and exclude the effects of inflation. If there is a range of equally probable remediation methods or outcomes, the lower end of the range is accrued. At December 31, 2000, $40 was accrued for contingent environmental liabilities with no recovery expected from other parties, compared to $45 accrued at December 31, 1999 and $1 recorded as probable recoveries.

      Contingent non-asbestos product liabilities are estimated based on existing claims plus our estimate of incurred but not reported claims based on historical experience. At December 31, 2000, $21 was accrued for contingent non-asbestos product liability costs and $2 was recorded as an asset for probable recoveries, compared to $19 of liabilities with no anticipated recoveries at the end of 1999.

      With respect to contingent asbestos-related product liability, we had approximately 70,000 asbestos-related claims outstanding at December 31, 2000, including approximately 33,000 claims that were settled pending payment. We have agreements with our insurance carriers providing for the payment of a significant majority of the defense and indemnity costs for pending claims as well as claims which may be filed against us in the future. At December 31, 2000, we had accrued $78 for contingent asbestos-related product liability costs and recorded $67 as an asset for probable recoveries from insurance or third parties for asbestos-related product liability claims, compared to $77 accrued for liabilities and $65 recorded as an asset at December 31, 1999. We recorded pre-tax expenses of less than $5 in 2000 related to the settlement and administration of asbestos-related product liability claims.

      For some time, the vast majority of our asbestos-related claims were administered by the Center for Claims Resolution (CCR), which settled claims for its member companies on a shared settlement cost basis. In February 2001, the CCR was reorganized and discontinued negotiating shared settlements. The CCR continues to administer Dana’s claims and will provide some legal and claims adjusting support. However, there will be no sharing of indemnity costs and Dana will independently control its strategy and settlements. Dana will continue to assess the efficiency of this arrangement. We do not expect this change to materially affect our contingent liability for these claims.

      The difference between our minimum and maximum estimates for contingent liabilities, while not considered material, was $2 for the environmental liability claims and $14 for the non-asbestos product liability claims, compared to $3 and $12 at December 31, 1999.

Restructuring and Integration

      In the fourth quarter of 1998, we finalized our synergy plans for integrating the operations of Echlin into our businesses and recorded restructuring and integration charges of $138. Of this amount $118 was charged to restructuring and $20, for writing down inventory, was charged to cost of sales. The announced restructuring and integration plans included the closing of eight facilities (seven in the Automotive Aftermarket Group and one in the Engine Systems Group) and a workforce reduction of approximately 2,450 people.

      During 1999, we continued executing the Echlin restructuring plan announced in 1998, including the closing and downsizing of facilities begun in 1998. We also incurred integration charges of $51 for relocating assets, training and relocating employees and other integration activities at the acquired operations. These costs were charged to expense as incurred.

      During the fourth quarter of 1999, we announced plans to downsize and close additional operations in the U.S., South America and Europe and recorded restructuring and integration charges totaling $170. The charges included the costs of exiting businesses, asset impairments and termination benefits. The announced restructuring and integration plans included closing five facilities, downsizing three facilities and terminating 1,280 people. The largest component of these plans was the downsizing of our Reading, Pa. structures facility. In total, $229 million was charged to income during the year. This amount consisted of $181 charged to restructuring and integration, $57 charged to cost of sales and a $9 gain on the sale of Sierra International Inc. credited to other income.

      During the third quarter of 2000, we announced plans to close our Reading, Pa. structures facility and terminate approximately 690 people and recorded restructuring charges of $53. In the fourth quarter, we approved plans to close facilities in France, the United Kingdom and Argentina, resulting in $34 of charges and a workforce reduction of approximately 230 people. We also incurred integration expenses in 2000 related to consolidating our Engine Controls warehouse operations and moving operations from closed facilities.

      At December 31, 2000, $113 of restructuring charges remained in accrued liabilities. This balance was comprised of $93 for workforce reductions of approximately 420 employees to be completed in 2001 and $20 for lease terminations and other exit costs. We estimate that cash expenditures will be approximately $81 in 2001, $14 in 2002 and $18 thereafter. Our liquidity and cash flows will not be materially impacted by these actions. It is anticipated that our operations over the long term will benefit from these realignment strategies.

Results of Operations (2000 versus 1999)

      Our worldwide sales were $12,317 in 2000, a 6% or $842 decline from the $13,159 recorded in 1999. The divestitures completed in the first quarter of 2000 were a significant factor. Net of the effect of acquisitions, these divestitures accounted for a $410 reduction in sales for the year. Currency fluctuations accounted for an additional $279 decline in sales.

      Sales by region for 1999 and 2000 are presented in the following table.

                                 
Change

1999 2000 Amount Percent

North America $ 10,308 $ 9,449 $ (859 ) (8.3 )
Europe 2,051 1,947 (104 ) (5.1 )
South America 549 563 14 2.6
Asia Pacific 251 358 107 42.6

      U.S. sales were $8,552, a 9% or $861 decline from the 1999 level, with divestitures net of acquisitions accounting for $408 of the decrease. Exports from the U.S. declined from $939 in 1999 to $832 in 2000

      Overall sales outside the United States increased $20 despite the $279 adverse impact of further strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Sales for our operations in Canada and Mexico were flat after considering a $4 benefit from currency changes; acquisitions and divestitures were not a factor in those countries. Sales in Europe benefited from a net $65 increase related to acquisitions net of divestitures and organic growth added another $79. These positive effects were more than offset by $247 of adverse currency impact as the U.S. dollar equivalent of sales denominated in euros and pounds declined $207 and $32, respectively, due to weakness in those currencies. In South America, where currency weakness resulted in an $11 sales decline, the effect of divestitures net of acquisitions was a $66 drop in sales. Continuing recovery in the region was evident however in the $90 of organic growth. Organic growth in Asia Pacific sales totaled $133, more than offsetting the $25 of adverse currency effects. Sales due to acquisitions equaled those lost by way of divestitures.

      Our Strategic Business Units (SBUs) – 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 Credit Corporation (DCC) – represent our business segments. We realigned certain businesses within our SBU structure in 2000. The most significant change was shifting our fluid handling products operations from the ESG to the FSG. Our segment information has been restated to reflect these changes.

      Sales by SBU for 1999 and 2000 are presented in the following table. DCC did not record sales in either year. The “Other” category in the table represents facilities that have been closed or sold and operations not assigned to a specific SBU.

                                   
Change

1999 2000 Amount Percent

ASG $ 4,461 $ 4,634 $ 173 3.9
AAG 3,039 2,850 (189 ) (6.2 )
HTG 1,904 1,598 (306 ) (16.1 )
ESG 1,318 1,293 (25 ) (1.9 )
FSG 1,238 1,163 (75 ) (6.1 )
OHSG 812 674 (138 ) (17.0 )
Other 387 105 (282 ) (72.9 )

      ASG sales in North America decreased $106 or 3% in 2000 as a result of light vehicle and heavy truck OEM production cuts intended to reduce dealer inventory. Light vehicle production in North America started the year near all-time record levels but declined in the second half of 2000 to end at 17.2 million units. Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and light trucks displayed a similar trend line while maintaining their share of overall production. While sales appeared flat in South America, internal growth in Brazil across all the ASG product lines was slightly more than the combined negative effect of currency ($8) and net divestitures ($55). Sales in Europe benefited from our acquisition of the GKN driveshaft business early in the year, which added sales of $142, but gave back $75 to currency effects. ASG’s internal growth of nearly $40 resulted from improvement in both driveshaft and axle sales, the latter improving 32% in Austria. The acquisition of the automotive axle manufacturing and stamping business of Invensys plc added $34 of sales in Asia Pacific, more than offsetting the $22 adverse currency effect and complementing the $141 of organic growth resulting mainly from new modular systems business.

      AAG ended the year with a $189 decrease in sales, of which nearly $44 related to the late 1999 divestiture of Sierra. Inefficiencies in consolidating parts of its warehousing operations and softness in the North American automotive aftermarket were key factors in the $85 sales decline at AAG’s operating units in this region. Sales in Europe were marginally higher than in 1999 but the region lost $40 to currency movements. Modest sales improvement in South America was offset by decreases in Asia Pacific. There were no acquisitions or divestitures in either region and currency effects were minimal.

      HTG continued its success of 1999 during the first half of 2000, growing sales 4% after excluding the effects of two divestitures in the first quarter of 2000. However, early in the second half of the year, heavy truck manufacturers sharply reduced production in response to falling demand and excess inventory. HTG sales fell by one-third in the second half and finished the full year $306 below 1999 results. The divestiture impact for the full year was $106 and currency losses pared another $9, leaving $190 of organic sales reductions.

      ESG achieved $31 of organic growth with $23 emanating from Europe and $8 from South America. Similar to the European operations of our other SBUs, those of the ESG lost

dollars in millions

$56 in converting their local sales to U.S. dollars. ESG sales in North America edged up $5 or 1% in 2000.

      FSG sales declined $75 in 2000 as North America lost $51 in its ongoing operations and another $6 due to a divestiture. Operations in Europe incurred currency losses of $17 to account for most of their $19 sales decline. Sales in South America were even with the prior year.

      OHSG sales fell $138 overall as the divestiture of the Gresen Hydraulics business in January 2000 resulted in a $97 decline in sales and adverse currency impacts accounted for another $49. Organic growth was a modest $8. North American sales declined $93 with $86 attributable to the Gresen divestiture. In Europe, sales were $41 lower as weakness in the euro had a $49 adverse effect. South American sales were down $4 as $7 of organic growth was negated by $11 lost through the Gresen divestiture.

      Revenue from lease financing increased $32 or 29% in 2000 on a $15 increase in direct finance lease income and increases of $9 each in interest income and income from property rentals recognized by DCC.

      Other income increased $148 in 2000, primarily the result of a $156 increase in gains on divestitures that was partially offset by a $9 decrease in interest income exclusive of the DCC interest income which is included in lease financing revenue.

      Gross margin in 2000 was 13.9%, well below the 16.7% reported in 1999. Results in all regions reflected lower gross margins, but the declines were most severe in North America and Asia Pacific. In North America, ASG and HTG were both affected by producing above optimum capacity in the first half of the year. In the second half, these units were impacted by erratic demand from their major customers and generally fell well below efficient production levels. AAG margins were impacted by softness in the automotive aftermarket. In Asia Pacific, ASG margins were affected by startup costs related to our new modular business in Australia. We incurred $17 in 2000 in connection with discontinuing certain lines of business and $57 in 1999 related to impairment and other rationalization adjustments and charged these amounts to cost of sales. Gross margins excluding these items would have been 14.1% in 2000 and 17.1% in 1999.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased $60 in 2000, slightly exceeding the $56 attributed to the net effect of divestitures and acquisitions. DCC increased its general and administrative expenses by $9 with higher depreciation on leased assets and expenses related to a real estate investment being the largest components. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 9.2% in 2000 and 9.1% in 1999.

      Interest expense rose $44 or nearly 16% in 2000 as overall debt increased by almost 11%. Average short-term borrowings rose $452 to $1,614 and the average interest rate increased from 5.4% to 6.6%.

      Our effective tax rate was 36.8% in 2000. We continue to benefit from tax credits generated by our leasing operations and from relatively low state and local tax rates.

      Minority interest was unchanged in 2000. 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.

      We recorded $54 of equity in the earnings of our affiliates in 2000. Increased earnings at our affiliate in Mexico and expansion of the portion of leasing revenue earned on DCC’s equity investments more than offset the $27 loss recorded in the fourth quarter at our 49%-owned affiliate in Venezuela.

      Net income was $334 in 2000 versus $513 reported in 1999. Comparisons are made difficult by non-recurring items recorded in both years. In 1999 we recorded $165 of non-recurring charges net of the gain recorded in the AAG on the sale of Sierra. In 2000, we recorded $43 of non-recurring charges net of the gains recorded on several divestitures. Excluding these items, earnings would have been $377 in 2000 and $678 in 1999.

      Non-recurring items in 2000 included net charges of $47 in ASG, $39 in AAG, $33 in ESG and $4 in FSG and net credits of $27 in HTG and $16 in OHSG; a net gain of $37 was reflected in the Other category. In 1999, non-recurring charges were $59 in ASG, $41 in AAG, $3 in HTG, $31 in ESG, $3 in FSG, $1 in OHSG and $27 in Other.

Market Trends

      As 2000 came to a close, dealer inventory of light vehicles was approaching a three-month supply for some models despite severe production cutbacks by the major OEMs. SUV and light truck production exceeded car production throughout the year, but light truck inventories were reported growing at a faster rate near the end of the year. In early 2001, reductions in production schedules range from 17% to 27% at Ford, General Motors and DaimlerChrysler when compared to the first quarter of 2000, while a small number of Japanese manufacturers are reporting increases in their 2001 U.S. production levels thus far. Amid this uncertainty, we currently believe light vehicle volume for the year 2001 will be in the range of 15 to 16 million units, with the latter half of the year expected to be somewhat stronger than the first half. We expect the erratic demand and production schedules that marked the latter part of 2000 to continue through the first half of 2001 and then stabilize in the second half. The continuation of these challenging conditions makes the ongoing rationalization of assets and people critical to any significant improvement in our margins.

      We see the North American heavy truck market maintaining the fourth quarter 2000 build rate during most of 2001. There are likely to be minor fluctuations in quarterly production, but we expect approximately 150,000 units for the year. We also expect the automotive aftermarket to remain soft in 2001. Key factors are higher fuel costs, which tend to reduce the portion of vehicle operating outlays expended on repairs and maintenance, and the general improvement in the quality and durability of automotive parts.

      We are currently projecting over $400 in sales for 2001 and more than $4,800 in aggregate sales through 2005 related to net new business. We are encouraged by the new awards, especially since these sales amounts include business not only with our traditional North American OEM customers, but also with foreign-based OEMs.

      Forward-looking statements in this report are indicated by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects” and similar expressions. These statements represent our expectations based on current information and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those which are anticipated or projected due to a number of factors, including international economic conditions; the strength of the euro and other currencies relative to the U.S. dollar; the cyclical nature of the global vehicular industry; the performance of the global aftermarket sector; changes in business relationships with our major customers and other factors affecting the timing, size and continuation of our customer programs; the ability of our customers and suppliers to achieve their projected sales and production levels; competitive pressures on our sales and pricing; increases in production or material costs that cannot be recouped in product pricing; and the success of our recent short-term actions and our long-term transformation strategy for the company.

Results of Operations (1999 versus 1998)

      Our worldwide sales increased by $695 in 1999 to $13,159, nearly 6% above the record level of 1998. Organic growth accounted for $359 or 3% while acquisitions, net of divestitures, added $336. U.S. sales increased $629 or 7% with $122 attributable to acquisitions net of divestitures. Exports increased 24% to $939 despite the increasing strength of the U.S. dollar.

South America 779 549 (230 ) (29.5 )
Asia Pacific 184 251 67 36.4

      Overall sales outside of the U.S. increased 2% in 1999 but declined 4% when excluding the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures. The increased strength of the U.S. dollar had an adverse impact on sales in all regions except Asia Pacific. Mexico and Canada incurred a $24 negative currency effect on a combined basis. Europe, which experienced an 11% net increase, benefited by $194 from net acquisitions but gave back $47 in negative currency impact. South America, struggling to recover from economic downturns in Brazil and Argentina, incurred a $230 or 30% decrease in sales. The devaluation of the Brazilian real accounted for nearly all of the $240 in sales lost to currency effects in this region. Asia Pacific increased sales by $67 or 36% with currency changes contributing a $5 increase.

      The popularity of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and light trucks continued to push ASG sales to higher levels. Axle sales experienced most of the growth in this SBU. Driveshaft sales were up slightly less than 3% and structural product sales were relatively flat. Sales growth was most significant in North America where sales increased $354. Asia Pacific experienced a 74% increase and South America was down 36% for the year.

      The December 1998 acquisition of AE Clevite, a distributor of camshafts, valves and engine components, helped the AAG grow its North American sales by $131 in 1999. Our filtration operation in the United Kingdom, acquired early in 1999, helped Europe register a 7% increase over 1998. Sales were down 4% in South America and 2% in Asia Pacific.

      The HTG continued to benefit from high build rates in medium to heavy trucks (class 5 through 8) in the United States. Heavy axle and brake operations led the way to a 12% sales increase in North America where nearly 94% of HTG’s sales occur. Sales were flat in Asia Pacific, down 13% in Europe and down nearly 50% in South America.

      The acquisition of Glacier Vandervell in December 1998 made the difference for the ESG in 1999. The manufacturer of engine bearings helped the ESG increase sales 22% in North America and 82% in Europe. Sales of the other engine and sealing products were generally flat for the year.

      FSG transacted more than 80% of its business in North America, where strength in coolant systems carried it to a 4% sales increase in 1999. Sales increased 13% in Europe but declined 26% in South America.

      OHSG had a challenging year in 1999. Sales decreased 10% in North America and 6% in Europe as the depressed agricultural market limited demand for off-highway axles, powershift transmissions, hydraulic pumps and auxiliary equipment.

      Revenue from lease financing decreased 36% in 1999 due to the sale of DCC’s Technology Leasing Group portfolio in December 1998. Other income in 1998 included a gain of $126 on this divestiture and $27 from the settlement of a lawsuit.

      Our gross margin was 16.7% in 1999 compared to 16.2% in 1998. Cost of sales in 1999 was increased by a charge of $57 related to impairment and other rationalization adjustments. In 1998 we charged $20 of inventory adjustments to cost of sales. Excluding these non-recurring items, the gross margins would have been 17.1% in 1999 and 16.3% in 1998.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased only $70 in 1999 despite $83 of expenses at newly acquired businesses. SG&A at our manufacturing and distribution businesses (including newly acquired businesses) increased $76. DCC realized net savings of $8 with the reduction resulting from the December 1998 sale of its Technology Leasing Group portfolio being partially offset by expenses related to development of a new lease administration system. On a regional basis, North America increased $25 with all of it attributable to the net effect of acquisitions and divestitures. Europe increased by $78 including a net acquisition/divestiture impact of $42. Currency devaluation in South America caused SG&A to decline by nearly $28.

      Operating income, which excludes restructuring and integration charges and the 1998 merger expenses, increased by $110 in 1999. Acquisitions, net of divestitures, added $31 and DCC contributed $8. The vast majority of the improvement is based in North America as Europe improved a modest $7 and South America decreased $14. Excluding the non-recurring items charged to cost of sales, operating margin would have increased from 7.3% in 1998 to 8.1% in 1999.

      Interest expense was virtually unchanged in 1999. DCC lowered its borrowing costs following the divestiture of its small-ticket leasing operation but the manufacturing operations incurred greater interest charges due to a higher debt level.

      Our effective tax rate improved from 39% to 34% in 1999. State tax incentives played a significant role in the change as did general business credits realized by our leasing operations. Nondeductible merger expenses adversely affected the 1998 rate.

      Minority interest increased by $5 due to the minority interest acquired as part of the Glacier Vandervell acquisition and earnings improvement at Automotive Motion Technology Limited prior to our acquiring the remaining shares of that subsidiary.

      Equity in earnings of affiliates rose $3 or 8% including a $16 decline in our Venezuelan affiliate, a $13 increase in our Mexican affiliates and a $7 increase related to our leasing partnerships.

      Net income for 1999 came in at $513, slipping 4% from the $534 we earned in 1998. Both years include several items that make it difficult to compare these results. In 1998 we recorded $57 of non-recurring charges net of gains on divestitures and the settlement of a patent infringement case. This year we recorded $165 of non-recurring charges net of the gain on the sale of Sierra. With these items excluded from both years, our earnings would have increased $87 or 15% to $678.

      The SBUs affected by the 1999 adjustments were ASG $59, AAG $41, ESG $31, HTG $3, FSG $3, OHSG $1 and Other $27. In 1998, adverse adjustments were recorded by AAG $45, ESG $17, OHSG $1 and Other $50. DCC recorded a gain of $56.

      The sales and gross margin amounts for the first three quarters of 2000 have been restated to reflect the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, in the fourth quarter of 2000. The effect on sales and gross margin in 1999 was not material.

      In the fourth quarter of 1999, we recorded rationalization, integration and other non-recurring charges of $144 (87 cents per share). These charges relate to the downsizing of three facilities, including our Reading, Pa., facility, and the closing of five facilities in the U.S., South America and Europe, net of the gain on the sale of the Sierra marine aftermarket operation.

      In the first quarter of 2000, we recognized approximately $85 (53 cents per share) of non-recurring income representing gains on divestitures, net of $12 of integration expenses. In the second quarter, we recorded $10 (7 cents per share) of non-recurring integration charges incurred in connection with consolidating our Engine Controls warehouse operations. In the third quarter, we recorded a charge of $32 (21 cents per share) related to the closing of our Reading, Pa., structures facility.

      In the fourth quarter of 2000, we recorded $86 million of non-recurring charges (58 cents per share), including restructuring expenses related to closing several facilities ($34), integration expenses incurred primarily in the Engine Controls Division and in relocating operations of closed facilities ($21), equity losses related to our 49%-owned affiliate in Venezuela ($20) and costs associated with exiting several lines of business ($11).
