Prior to the date that the Restriction Period applicable to Shares of Restricted Stock lapses, the Employee shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber such Shares of Restricted Stock.

2.Book Entry Record. The Company shall, as soon as administratively feasible after execution of this Agreement by the Employee, direct the Company’s transfer agent for the Stock to make a book entry record showing ownership for the Restricted Stock in the name of the Employee or take other action to evidence the issuance of Restricted Stock as determined in the Company’s discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and any other restrictions pursuant to applicable laws, rules or regulations or the requirements of any national securities exchange. The Restricted Stock may be held in an account at the Company’s transfer agent pending vesting.

3.Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3 or Section 4 or as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Employee shall


Exhibit 10.2
forfeit the Shares that are unvested as of the effective date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time of the Employee’s Termination of Employment, the following provisions shall apply.

(a)Termination Without Cause or Resignation For Good Reason. If the Employee’s Termination of Employment is due to the Employee’s involuntary termination by the Company without Cause, or due to the Employee’s resignation for Good Reason (as defined below) prior to a Change in Control, then all the unvested Shares shall immediately vest. For purposes of this Section 3(a), “Good Reason” means:

(i)a material reduction in the Employee’s base compensation other than as a result of a reduction in compensation that is part of, and is at a rate consistent with, a reduction in the compensation paid to a majority of Company executives;

(ii)the assignment to the Employee of duties inconsistent with, and representing a material diminution of, the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities as performed by the Employee on the Grant Date, excluding: (A) an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action, not taken in bad faith, and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee, or (B) a change of authority, duties or responsibilities due to a Company reorganization or as part of a broad reassignment of authority, duties or responsibilities among management; or

(iii)any material breach by the Company of a material compensation arrangement with the Employee, other than: (A) an isolated, insubstantial, and inadvertent failure, not occurring in bad faith, and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee, or (B) as a result of a reduction in compensation that is part of, and is at a rate consistent with, a reduction in the compensation paid to a majority of Company executives.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Termination of Employment will be deemed to be due to the Employee’s resignation for Good Reason only if (x) the Employee provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the condition constituting Good Reason under paragraphs (i)-(iii) above within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition, (y) the Company does not remedy the condition within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice and (z) the Employee resigns within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Company’s cure period.

(b)Death or Disability. If the Employee’s Termination of Employment is due to the Employee’s death or Disability, then all the unvested Shares shall immediately vest.

(c)Effective Date of Termination of Employment. For purposes of this Agreement, any Termination of Employment shall be effective as of the earlier of (1) the date that the Company receives the Employee’s notice of resignation of employment, or (2) the date that the Employee ceases to actively provide services. In


Exhibit 10.2
connection with the foregoing, the applicable termination date shall not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law), and the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively providing service for purposes of this Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee will be deemed to have experienced a Termination of Employment upon the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code to the extent this Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code.

1.Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, this Award shall be treated in accordance with the Change of Control Employment Agreement between the Company and the Employee (the “Change of Control Agreement”), as in effect as of the Grant Date, as if a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Change of Control Agreement) had occurred.

2.Stockholder Rights. Subject to the restrictions imposed by this Agreement and the Plan, the Employee shall have, with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by this Award, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding Stock, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive dividends; provided, however, that any cash dividends payable with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by this Award shall be automatically reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock, the number of which shall be determined by multiplying (a) the number of Shares that the Employee has been issued under this Agreement as of the dividend record date that have not vested as of such record date by (b) the dividend paid on each Share, dividing the result by (c) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date, and (d) rounding the result to the nearest Share. Such additional Shares so awarded shall vest at the same time, and to the same extent, as the Restricted Stock to which it relates and shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions contained herein. Dividends payable with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by this Award that are payable in Stock shall also be paid in the form of additional Shares of Restricted Stock and shall vest at the same time, and to the same extent, as the Restricted Stock to which it relates and shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms, and conditions contained herein.

3.Tax and Social Security Contributions Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the affiliate that employs the Employee (the “Employer”) take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Employee is and remains the Employee’s responsibility, and the Company and the Employer: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock, including the grant of the Restricted Stock, the vesting of the Restricted Stock, the subsequent sale of any Stock acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

If any taxing jurisdiction requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise subject to this Award that have an aggregate Fair Market Value not to exceed the maximum statutory Tax-Related Items


Exhibit 10.2
required to be withheld with respect to this Award. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items (determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the applicable vesting date). No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of this Award and the issuance of Stock hereunder. Alternatively, the Company and/or the Employer may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from the Employee’s salary/wages or other amounts payable to the Employee, with no withholding in Shares, or may require the Employee to remit to the Company an amount of cash sufficient to satisfy withholding relating to Tax-Related Items.
In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through the withholding from the Employee’s salary/wages or other amounts payable to the Employee, no Shares will be released upon vesting of the Restricted Stock unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items which the Company and/or the Employer determine, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Restricted Stock. If the Employee is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, the Employee acknowledges that the Company, the Employer or another subsidiary or Affiliate may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. By accepting this grant of Restricted Stock, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and/or the withholding of amounts from the Employee's salary/wages or other amounts payable to the Employee as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Restricted Stock and any Stock delivered under this Award are the Employee’s sole responsibility.
4.Acquisition of Shares for Investment Purposes Only. By accepting this Award, the Employee hereby agrees with the Company as follows:
(a)The Employee is acquiring the Shares covered by this Award for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof to the public in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and shall not dispose of any of the Shares in transactions which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, violate the 1933 Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws;
(b)If any of the Shares covered by this Award shall be registered under the 1933 Act, no public offering (otherwise than on a national securities exchange, as defined in the Exchange Act) of any such Shares shall be made by the Employee (or any other person) under such circumstances that he or she (or any other such person) may be deemed an underwriter, as defined in the 1933 Act; and
(c)The Company shall have the authority to include stop-transfer orders, legends or other restrictions relating to the Shares referring to the foregoing.
5.Miscellaneous.

(a)Non-transferability. Neither the Restricted Shares nor this Award may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise permitted


Exhibit 10.2
by the Company, and neither the Restricted Shares nor this Award shall be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. In addition, by accepting this Award, Employee agrees not to sell any shares of Stock acquired under this Award other than as set forth in the Plan and at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters do not prohibit a sale.
(b)Notices. Any written notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, as appropriate, either to the Employee or to the Executive Compensation Department of the Company, or when deposited in a United States Post Office as registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, either to the Employee at his or her address in the Company’s records or to Attention: Executive Compensation, BorgWarner Inc., at its headquarters office or such other address as the Company may designate in writing to the Employee. Notice also may be given under this Agreement to the Employee by the Company by electronic means, including e-mail or through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
(c)Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.
(d)Governing Law. The Award made and actions taken under the Plan and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without taking into account its conflict of laws provisions.
(e)Provisions of Plan. This Award is granted pursuant to the Plan, and this Award and this Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof, whether such terms and provisions are incorporated in this Agreement solely by reference or expressly cited herein. It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Employee. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, other than with respect to any provisions relating to Termination of Employment or Change in Control, the Plan’s terms shall supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Agreement to the minimum extent necessary to resolve the conflict. Notwithstanding any terms of the Plan to the contrary, the termination provisions of Section 3 and the change in control provision of Section 4 of this Agreement control.
(f)Section 16 Compliance. To the extent necessary to comply with, or to avoid disgorgement of profits under the short-swing matching rules of, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Employee shall not sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares.
(g)No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Employee any right to continued employment nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of the Employee at any time.


Exhibit 10.2
(h)Discretionary Nature of Plan; No Right to Additional Awards. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Plan is discretionary in nature and limited in duration and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of an Award under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive an Award or benefits in lieu of an Award. Future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of an award, the number of Shares subject to the award, and the vesting provisions.
(i)Termination Indemnities. The value of this Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any. As such, Awards are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(j)Acceptance of Award. By accepting this Award, the Employee agrees to accept all the terms and conditions of the Award, as set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. This Agreement shall not be effective as a Restricted Stock Award if a copy of this Agreement is not signed by the Employee and returned to the Company (unless the Employee accepts this award in an alternative means approved by the Company, which may include electronic acceptance) within ninety (90) days of the Grant Date. If the Employee does not sign (or accept using alternative means approved by the Company) this Agreement within ninety (90) days from the Grant Date, the Company may cancel the Award without any requirement to provide notice to the Employee. It is solely the Employee’s responsibility to accept the Award.

(k)Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated above, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
(l)Amendment of the Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Company and the Employee may amend this Agreement only by a written instrument signed by both parties.
(m)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute but one Agreement.
(n)Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Award by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
(o)Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and all prior oral and written representations are merged into this Agreement. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and identification only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope, extent, or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
