Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers
for fiscal 2009 should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set
forth below. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that are based on our
current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation
programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt in the future may differ materially from
currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.
Executive Compensation Summary.
The retention of experienced, highly-capable and dedicated executives is crucial to the long-term
success of our company. To achieve the goal of recruiting, retaining and motivating our executives,
our Compensation Committee has developed an overall executive compensation program that rewards
these employees for their contributions to our company.
The primary objectives of our practices with respect to executive compensation are to:
|
|
|
provide appropriate incentives to our executive officers to implement our strategic
business objectives and achieve the desired company performance; |
|
|
|
|
reward our executive officers for their contribution to our success in building
long-term shareholder value; and |
|
|
|
|
provide compensation that will attract and retain superior talent and reward
performance. |
Compensation Components.
With our compensation objectives in mind, our executive officer compensation program consists of
five primary elements: (1) base salary; (2) an annual bonus; (3) long-term incentive compensation
in the form of stock options; (4) non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements; and (5)
coverage under our broad-based employee benefit plans, such as our group health and 401(k) plans,
and executive perquisites.
Base Salary. Base salary is the fixed component of our executive compensation intended to
meet the objective of attracting and retaining the executive officers of superior talent that are
necessary to manage and lead our company.
Annual Bonus. We utilize annual bonuses that are designed to provide incentives to motivate
the achievement of strategic business objectives, desired company performance and individual
performance goals.
6
Stock Option Program. Equity awards are an integral part of our overall executive
compensation program because we believe that our long-term performance will be enhanced through the
use of equity awards that reward our executives for maximizing shareholder value over time. We have
historically elected to use stock options that vest over time as the primary long-term equity
incentive vehicle to promote retention of our key executives. Although we have not adopted formal
stock ownership guidelines, our named directors and executive officers currently hold a significant
portion of our fully-diluted common stock, substantially through the ownership of stock options. In
addition, our named directors and executive officers purchased approximately 0.3% of our common
stock during fiscal 2009. In determining the number of stock options to be granted to executives,
we historically have taken into account the individuals position, scope of responsibility, ability
to affect profits and shareholder value and the value of the stock options in relation to other
elements of the individual executives total compensation. Currently, a substantial percentage of
our outstanding options have exercise prices that are significantly above the current market price
of our stock. Due to the limited number of shares of our common stock available for grant of
Incentive Awards under our 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, we have not utilized equity awards in our
executive compensation decisions for fiscal 2009 performance. The Compensation Committee intends
to review possible alternatives for re-establishing this component of our overall executive
compensation program.
Deferred Compensation Benefits. We offer a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to
selected executive officers which provides unfunded, non-tax qualified deferred compensation
benefits. We believe this program helps promote the retention of our senior executives.
Participants may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan, and we make
matching contributions of 25% of each participants elective contributions to the plan up to 6% of
the participants compensation for the year. Contributions for fiscal 2009 and year-end account
balances for those executive officers can be found in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
table.
Other Benefits. We provide to our executive officers medical benefits that are generally
available to our other employees. Executives are also eligible to participate in our other
broad-based employee benefit plans, such as our long and short-term disability, life insurance and
401(k) plan. Historically, the value of executive perquisites, as determined in accordance with the
rules of the SEC related to executive compensation, has not exceeded 10% of the base salary of any
of our executives.
Determination of Compensation Decisions.
The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing, developing and maintaining our
executive compensation program. The role of the Compensation Committee is to oversee our
compensation and benefits plans and policies, administer our equity incentive plans and review and
approve all compensation decisions relating to all executive officers and directors. In order for
the Compensation Committee to perform its function, the following process for determining executive
compensation decisions has been followed.
Determining Goals. Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, senior executives and
department heads meet and establish the Objective Goals, Strategies
and Measures (the OGSM) for
our company. The OGSM sets forth performance goals for each department of our company and certain
employees for the upcoming fiscal year. The OGSM provides a basis for developing a base financial
operating plan for the upcoming fiscal year. The OGSM and base financial operating plan are
reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors.
On a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors reviews the actual financial performance of our
company against the goals set forth in the OGSM and the base financial operating plan. In addition, the
members of the Board of Directors receive monthly reports detailing the actual financial
performance of our company compared to these goals.
Determining Executive Compensation.
Our method of determining compensation varies from case to case based on a discretionary and
subjective determination of what is appropriate at the time. In determining specific components of
compensation, the Compensation Committee considers individual performance, level of responsibility,
skills and experience, and other compensation awards or arrangements.
7
Our general policy for setting base salaries of our named executive officers (the Senior
Executives) is to only increase such salaries in the case of promotions. Such promotional
increases to base salaries are reviewed by the Compensation Committee on a case-by-case basis. The
salary increases reflected in our Summary Compensation Table below reflect such promotional job
changes that occurred in fiscal 2008 and 2009. In making such determinations regarding base
salaries for the Senior Executives who have been promoted, we take into account such factors as:
the Senior Executives scope of responsibilities and level of experience; salary data for
comparable positions at the peer group companies based on reports of our outside consultant and
salary survey data provided by our outside consultant; and internal equity of salaries of
individuals in comparable positions at our company.
At the end of the fiscal year, department heads assess their progress against the OGSM and base
financial operating plan and evaluate their results. These self-assessments are reviewed by the
Chief Executive Officer who then undertakes his own evaluation of the executives performance. This
involves a two-step process whereby the Chief Executive Officer evaluates: (i) our companys actual
financial performance against the budget, taking into account events that may be beyond the control
of any given Senior Executives performance initiatives; and (ii) each Senior Executives
performance against his OGSM goals. Performance is evaluated in a non-formulaic manner with no
specific weighting given to the performance measures. The Chief Executive Officer considers both
the financial performance of our company and individual performance relative to each performance
goal of the Senior Executives to develop bonus recommendations for each Senior Executives.
The Compensation Committee reviews the performance evaluations and bonus recommendations provided
by the Chief Executive Officer and decides whether to approve or adjust his bonus recommendations.
The Compensation Committee evaluates all of the factors considered by the Chief Executive Officer
and reviews the compensation summaries for each Senior Executive, including base salary, bonus,
equity awards (if any), deferred compensation benefits and other benefits. In determining specific
components of compensation, the Compensation Committee considers individual performance, level of
responsibility, skills and experience, and other compensation awards or arrangements. These
measures are evaluated in a non-formulaic manner with no specific weighting given to any specific
measure. Based on its review and evaluation, the Compensation Committee makes the final
determination of the annual bonuses to be paid to the Senior Executives and reports its decisions
to the entire Board of Directors.
Our Compensation Committee performs an annual review of our compensation policies, including the
appropriate mix of base salary, bonuses and long-term incentive compensation. The Compensation
Committee also reviews and approves all long-term incentive compensation and
other benefits (including our 401(k) and our non-qualified deferred compensation plan).
Determining Chief Executive Officer Compensation.
The Compensation Committee is responsible for evaluating the performance of Mr. Joffe, our Chief
Executive Officer, and setting his annual compensation. In determining these elements of
compensation for Mr. Joffe, the Compensation Committee considered the contributions Mr. Joffe has
made to our strategic direction. The Compensation Committee reviews the key operating results and
key strategic initiatives of our company to determine if the Chief Executive Officer has achieved
the goal of strategically enhancing the size of our company while maintaining favorable operating
metrics. The Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the standard of living of the Los
Angeles vicinity in which our corporate offices are located. The Compensation Committee separately
reviews all relevant information, including reports provided by its outside consultant, and arrives
at its decision for the Chief Executive Officers total compensation. The Chief Executive Officers
performance is evaluated in a non-formulaic manner with no specific
weighting given to any one of the
performance measures. Mr. Joffe does not participate in any decision regarding his compensation.
Our employment agreement with Mr. Joffe provides that we may increase, but not decrease, his base
salary, which is set at $500,000. See the Employment Agreements section below for a further
discussion of certain compensations amounts payable to Mr. Joffe pursuant to his employment
agreement. Upon making its determination, the Compensation Committee reports its decision
concerning Mr. Joffes compensation to the entire Board of Directors.
Compensation Committee Consultant.
The Compensation Committee currently retains Towers Perrin as its outside compensation consultant.
Towers Perrin does not perform any other consulting work for our company, reports directly to the
Compensation
8
Committee, and takes direction from the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation
Committee engaged Towers Perrin to prepare a complete competitive assessment of our executive
compensation practices in 2004, an updated assessment of the compensation of our Chief Executive
Officer in 2006 and a complete executive compensation assessment in 2009.
The Compensation Committee considers analysis and advice from its outside consultant when making
compensation decisions for the Chief Executive Officer and other Senior Executives. The outside
consultants work for the Compensation Committee includes data analysis, market assessments, and
preparation of related reports.
Peer Group.
While the Compensation Committee does not undertake a formalized benchmarking process, it does
review the assessment provided by its outside consultant detailing the competitiveness of our
executive compensation relative to our peer group when making its executive compensation decisions.
Our peer group includes ATC Technology Corp., Dorman Products Inc., Modine Manufacturing Co.,
Proliance International Inc., Standard Motor Products Inc., Strattec Security Corp and Superior
Industries International Inc. The peer group is reviewed annually with the assistance of our
outside consultant to ensure that the peer companies remain an appropriate basis for comparison.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation Decisions.
The Compensation Committee made decisions for the Chief Executive Officers compensation following
the process described above and established the following individual performance goals:
|
|
|
Ensure appropriate information is communicated to our Board of Directors |
|
|
|
|
Ensure that the appropriate management team and corporate focus is in place |
|
|
|
|
Develop an appropriate succession plan |
|
|
|
|
Develop key strategies in all areas aimed at driving our company forward |
|
|
|
|
Maintain the appropriate financial structure for our company |
|
|
|
|
Make decisions on all key initiatives proposed by senior management |
|
|
|
|
Strengthen our relationships with key customers through long-term arrangements |
|
|
|
|
Continue the transitioning our remanufacturing capacity to cell manufacturing and
lower-cost production centers, including the establishment of our Mexican remanufacturing
facility |
|
|
|
|
Build sales for both the do-it-for-me and DIY marketplaces |
|
|
|
|
Evaluate and propose systems and initiatives for continuous improvement in all
disciplines of our business |
|
|
|
|
Identify and drive any acquisitions |
The Compensation Committee recognized that our company is a complicated business to manage,
particularly in light of its size and complex accounting issues, and that this complexity may not
be adequately reflected in the companys income levels. The Compensation Committee also recognized
Mr. Joffes contribution in establishing our companys reputation and growth capacity. In
addition, Mr. Joffes contributions have been made during a period when several of our competitors
have been under financial stress.
10
The Compensation Committee considered Mr. Joffes performance against his individual goals and the
above factors regarding the complexity of our business and competitive position and determined that
Mr. Joffes base salary would remain at its current annual level of $500,000 during fiscal 2009 and
his annual bonus would be $500,000.
Tax Considerations
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code) generally disallows a
tax deduction for annual compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to our named executive
officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code and regulations) is not subject to the deduction limitation if specified requirements are met.
We generally intend to structure the performance-based portion of our executive compensation, when
feasible, to comply with exemptions in Section 162(m) so that the compensation remains tax
deductible to us. However, our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee may, in its judgment,
authorize compensation payments that do not comply with the exemptions in Section 162(m) when it
believes that such payments are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent.
In limited circumstances, we may agree to make certain items of income payable to our named
executive officers tax-neutral to them. Accordingly, we have agreed to gross-up certain payments to
our Chief Executive Officer to cover any excise taxes (and related income taxes on the gross-up
payment) that he may be obligated to pay with respect to the first $3,000,000 of parachute
payments (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) to be made to him upon a change of control of
our company.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis
required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and
discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation
Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Bonus amounts for each named executive officer include a $100 bonus paid to each of the
companys employees during December of each year, including the named executive officers. |

|
We previously reported fiscal 2008 and 2007 bonus amounts based on bonus payment dates. For
consistency with the reporting of our fiscal 2009 bonus amounts, we are reporting bonus
amounts for fiscal 2007 and 2008 in this table based on the periods in which such bonus amounts were
earned. |

|
Option award amounts represent the executives portion of our reported stock compensation
expense for the fiscal year in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Please refer to Note 2 and 17
of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part IV of this Form
10-K for discussion of the relevant assumptions to determine the option award value at the
grant date. No awards were forfeited as of March 31, 2009. |

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
We maintain the Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan, an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees, including our named executive officers. Participants in
the plan may elect to defer up to 100% of their gross W-2 compensation. We make matching
contributions of 25% of each participants elective contributions to the plan, up to 6% of the
participants compensation for the plan year. The plan is designed to defer taxation to the
participant on contributions and notional earnings thereon until distribution thereof in accordance
with a participants previously made distribution elections. Insurance annuity contracts provide
funding for the plan, however, the annuity contracts are owned by us and remain subject to claims
of our general creditors.
Employment Agreements
On February 14, 2003, we entered into an employment agreement with Selwyn Joffe pursuant to which
he is employed full-time as our President and Chief Executive Officer in addition to serving as our
Chairman of the Board of Directors. This agreement, which was negotiated on our behalf by Mel
Marks, the then Chairman of the Compensation Committee, and unanimously approved by our Board of
Directors, was originally scheduled to expire on March 31, 2006. The February 14, 2003 agreement
provided for an annual base salary of $500,000, and participation in our executive bonus program.
Mr. Joffe remains entitled to receive a transaction fee of 1.0% of the total consideration of any
equity transaction, including any transaction resulting in a change of control, his efforts bring
to us that we previously agreed to provide to him as part of a prior consulting agreement with
Protea Group, Mr. Joffes company. Mr. Joffe also participates in the stock option plans approved
by the shareholders and also receives other benefits including those generally provided to other
employees.
On April 22, 2005, we entered into an amendment to our employment agreement with Mr. Joffe. Under
the amendment, Mr. Joffes term of employment was extended from March 31, 2006 to March 31, 2008.
His base salary, bonus arrangements, 1% transaction fee right and fringe benefits remained
unchanged. This amendment was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors.
Before the amendment, Mr. Joffe had the right to terminate his employment upon a change of control
and receive his salary and benefits through March 31, 2006. Under the amendment, upon a change of
control (which has been redefined pursuant to the amendment), Mr. Joffe will be entitled to a sale
bonus equal to the sum of (i) two times his base salary plus (ii) two times his average bonus
earned for the two years immediately prior to the change of control. The amendment also grants Mr.
Joffe the right to terminate his employment within one year of a change of control and to then
receive salary and benefits for a one-year period following such termination plus a bonus equal to
the average bonus Mr. Joffe earned during the two years immediately prior to his voluntary
termination.
If Mr. Joffe is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in the amendment),
the registrant must pay Mr. Joffe (i) his base salary, (ii) his average bonus earned for the two
years immediately prior to termination, and (iii) all other benefits payable to Mr. Joffe pursuant
to the employment agreement, as amended, through the later of two years after the date of
termination of employment or March 31, 2008. Under the amendment, Mr. Joffe is also entitled to an
additional gross-up payment to offset the excise taxes (and related income taxes on the
gross-up payment) that he may be obligated to pay with respect to the first $3,000,000 of
parachute payments (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) to be made to him upon a change of
control. The amendment has redefined the term for cause to apply only to misconduct in connection
with Mr. Joffes performance of his duties. Pursuant to the amendment, any options that have been
or may be granted to Mr. Joffe will fully vest upon a change of control and be exercisable for a
two-year period following the change of control, and Mr. Joffe agreed to waive the right he
previously had under the employment agreement to require the registrant to purchase his option
shares and any underlying options if his employment were terminated for any reason. The amendment
further provides that Mr. Joffes agreement not to compete with us terminates at the end of his
employment term.
16
In December 2006, our employment agreement with Mr. Joffe was amended to extend the term of this
agreement from March 31, 2008 to August 30, 2009. This amendment was unanimously approved by our
Board of Directors.
On March 27, 2008, our employment agreement with Mr. Joffe was further amended to extend the term
of this agreement from August 30, 2009 to August 31, 2012. All other terms and conditions of Mr.
Joffes employment remained unchanged. This amendment was unanimously approved by our Board of
Directors.
On December 31, 2008, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Joffe.
Mr. Joffes previous employment agreement was amended and restated primarily to add language that
satisfies the requirements of the final treasury regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the
Code with respect to certain of the payments that may be provided to Mr. Joffe pursuant to the
employment agreement. The restated agreement does not increase the amounts payable to Mr. Joffe as
salary, bonus, severance or other compensation, nor does it extend the term of employment, but it
does clarify that if we terminate the restated agreement without cause, either directly or
constructively, Mr. Joffe will be entitled to receive severance payments until the later of (i)
that date which is two years after the termination date or (ii) the date upon which the restated
agreement would otherwise have expired. All other substantive terms and conditions of Mr. Joffes
employment remain unchanged. The restated agreement was unanimously approved by our Board of
Directors.
In February 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. McCulloch pursuant to which his
current pay and benefits will remain unchanged, except that Mr. McCulloch will be entitled to: (i)
a proportionate bonus for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 for his services as our Chief
Financial Officer during that period so long as bonuses are generally paid to our other executives;
(ii) the right to earn certain bonuses in his position as Chief Acquisitions Officer for the
successful consummation of specified acquisitions, the amount and terms of which shall be agreed to
in writing by our Chief Executive Officer; and (iii) six months notice or the payment of six
months of his then current pay (or combination thereof) in lieu of such notice in the event of
termination of his employment with us for any reason. On February 16, 2009, we notified Mr.
McCulloch that his right to six months notice or salary (or a combination thereof) in the event of
his termination shall terminate on August 18, 2009.
In conformity with our policy, all of our directors and officers execute confidentiality and
nondisclosure agreements upon the commencement of employment. The agreements generally provide that

(1) |
|
Upon a termination for cause, Mr. Joffe will be entitled to his accrued salary, bonus and
transaction fees (as described in footnote 7), if any, and benefits owing to him through the
day of his termination. |
|
(2) |
|
Mr. Joffes employment term will end on the date of his death. Upon such event, Mr. Joffes
estate will be entitled to receive his accrued salary, bonus and transaction fees (as
described in footnote 7), if any, and |
17
|
|
|
|
|
benefits, including accrued but unused vacation time,
owing to Mr. Joffe through the date of his death. In addition, Mr. Joffes estate will assume
Mr. Joffes rights under the 1994 Stock Option Plan and the related rights under the
employment agreement. |
|
(3) |
|
If during the employment term, Mr. Joffe becomes disabled and is terminated by us, Mr. Joffe
will be entitled to receive his accrued salary, bonus, and transaction fees (as described in
footnote 7), if any, and benefits owing to Mr. Joffe through the date of termination. In
addition, Mr. Joffe will be entitled to receive the benefits payable pursuant to a disability
insurance policy, which we pay Mr. Joffe $24,000 annually to be used by Mr. Joffe to purchase
same for his benefit. |
|
(4) |
|
Upon a termination by Mr. Joffe for good reason or by us without cause, Mr. Joffe will be
entitled to receive his base salary, his average bonus earned for the two years immediately
preceding his termination, all vacation, healthcare and disability benefits, automobile
allowance, and any accrued transaction fees (as described in footnote 7). The payments are to
be paid to Mr. Joffe until March 31, 2010. |
|
(5) |
|
If a change in control occurs, Mr. Joffe will have the right to voluntarily terminate the
employment agreement with effect on or after the one year anniversary of the change in control
upon giving at least 90 days prior written notice. Upon Mr. Joffes voluntary termination, one
year after the change in control occurs, he will be entitled to receive for one year after his
termination date, his base salary, his average bonus earned for the two years immediately
preceding his termination, accrued vacation payments, healthcare and disability benefits,
automobile allowance, and any accrued transaction fees (as described in footnote 7). |
|
(6) |
|
Upon the termination of the employment agreement, for any reason other than termination by us
for cause or termination by Mr. Joffe without good reason, any options which are not fully
vested will immediately vest and remain exercisable by Mr. Joffe for a period of two years or,
if shorter, until the ten year anniversary of the date of grant of each such option. The
inherent value shown in the table is the additional compensation expense we would have
recorded upon the immediate vesting of all options which were not fully vested at March 31,
2009. |
|
(7) |
|
In the event that one or more proposed transactions occur during the term of Mr. Joffes
employment agreement, Mr. Joffe will be entitled to receive a transaction fee, as additional
compensation with respect to each proposed transaction. We will pay Mr. Joffe a transaction
fee upon the closing of a proposed transaction in an amount equal to 1% of the total
consideration. Since no transaction fee was accrued as of March 31, 2009 and there were no
proposed transactions on which to estimate a 1% fee as of March 31, 2009, zero amounts were
entered. |
|
(8) |
|
Upon a change in control, Mr. Joffe will be entitled to receive a sale bonus equal to the sum
of (i) two times Mr. Joffes salary, plus (ii) two times Mr. Joffes average bonus earned for
the two years immediately prior to the year in which the change in control occurs. The sale
bonus will be paid to Mr. Joffe in a lump sum on the closing date of the change in control
transaction. If Mr. Joffe terminates his employment after this change of control, he will also
be entitled to the compensation and other benefits described in footnote 5 above. |
|
(9) |
|
Mr. Joffe is entitled to receive an automobile allowance until March 31, 2010 in the amount
of $1,500 per month, payable monthly. In addition, all costs of operating the automobile,
including fuel, oil, insurance, repairs, maintenance and other expenses, are our
responsibility. |
Equity Based Employee Benefit Plans
2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. On October 31, 2003, our Board of Directors adopted our 2003
Long-Term Incentive Plan. The purpose of the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan is to foster and promote
our long-term financial success and interests and to materially increase the value of the equity
interests in the Company by: (a) encouraging the long-term commitment of selected key employees,
(b) motivating superior performance of key employees by means of long-term performance related
incentives, (c) encouraging and providing key employees with a formal program for obtaining an
ownership interest in the Company, (d) attracting and retaining outstanding key employees
by providing incentive compensation opportunities competitive with other major companies, and (e)
enabling participation by key employees in our long-term growth and financial success. The plan is
administered by our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee has the full power and
authority to construe and interpret the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan and may, from time to time,
adopt such rules and regulations of carrying out the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan as it may deem
appropriate. The decisions of the Compensation Committee are final, conclusive and binding upon all
parties.
18
Under the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to grant to
our key employees and consultants the following types of awards (Incentive Awards): (i) stock
options in the form of incentive stock options qualified under section 422 of the Code (Incentive
Options), or nonqualified stock options (Nonqualified Options), or both (Options); (ii) stock
appreciation rights (SARs); (iii) restricted stock (Restricted Stock); (iv) performance-based
awards; and (v) supplemental payments dedicated to payment of any income taxes that may be payable
in conjunction with the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. All of our employees are eligible to
participate in the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. A total of 1,200,000 shares of common stock have
been reserved for grants of Incentive Awards under the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The 2003
Long-Term Incentive Plan will terminate on October 31, 2013, unless terminated earlier by our Board
of Directors.
The Compensation Committee may limit an optionees right to exercise all or any portion of an
Option until one or more dates subsequent to the date of grant. The Compensation Committee also has
the right, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the date on which all or any portion of an Option
may be exercised. The 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan also provides that, under certain
circumstances, if any employee is terminated within two years after a Change of Control (as defined
in the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan), each Option or SAR then outstanding shall immediately become
vested and immediately exercisable in full, all restrictions and conditions of all Restricted Stock
then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied and the restriction period to have expired, and all
Performance Shares and Performance Units shall become vested, deemed earned in full and properly
paid. In the event of a change of control, however, our Board of Directors may, after notice to the
participant, require the participant to cash-out his or her rights by transferring them to the
Company in exchange for their equivalent cash value.
If we terminate an employees employment for any reason other than death, disability, retirement,
involuntary termination or termination for good reason, any Incentive Award outstanding at the time
and all rights there under will terminate, and unless otherwise established by the Compensation
Committee, no further vesting shall occur and the participant shall be entitled to exercise his or
her rights (if any) with respect to the portion of the Incentive Award vested as of the date of
termination for a period of 30 calendar days after such termination date; provided, however, that
if an Employee is terminated for cause, this employees right to exercise his or her rights (if
any) with respect to the vested portion of his or her Incentive Award shall terminate as of the
date of termination of employment. In the event of termination for death, disability, retirement,
or in connection with a change in control, an Incentive Award may be only exercised as provided in
an individuals incentive agreement, or as determined by the Compensation Committee.
Options. No Incentive Option may be granted with an exercise price per share less than the
fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Nonqualified Options may be granted at
any exercise price. The exercise price of an Option may be paid in cash, by an equivalent method
acceptable to the Compensation Committee, or, at the Compensation Committees discretion, by
delivery of already owned shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the exercise
price, or, at the Compensation Committees discretion, by delivery of a combination of cash and
already owned shares of common stock. However, if the optionee acquired the stock to be surrendered
directly or indirectly from us, he or she must have owned the stock to be surrendered for at least
six months prior to tendering such stock for the exercise of an Option.
An eligible employee may receive more than one Incentive Option, but the maximum aggregate fair
market value of the common stock (determined when the Incentive Option is granted) with respect to
which Incentive Options are first exercisable by such employee in any calendar year cannot exceed
$100,000. In addition, no Incentive Option may be granted to an employee owning directly or
indirectly stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our
stock (a 10% shareholder), unless the exercise price is not less than 110% of the fair market value
of the shares subject to such Incentive Option on the date of grant. Awards of Nonqualified Options
are not subject to these special limitations.
Except as otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, awards under the 2003 Long-Term
Incentive Plan are not transferable other than as designated by the participant by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. The expiration date of an Incentive Option is determined by the
Compensation Committee at the time of the grant, but in no event may an Incentive Option be
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant of the Incentive Option (five
years in the case of an Incentive Option granted to a 10% shareholder).
SARs. SARs may be granted under the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan in conjunction with all
or part of an Option, or separately. The exercise price of the SAR shall not be less than the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of the grant of the option to which it relates. The
SAR granted in conjunction with an Option will be exercisable
19
only when the underlying Option is
exercisable and once an SAR has been exercised, the related portion of the Option underlying the
SAR will terminate. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the Company will pay to the participant in cash,
common stock, or a combination thereof (the method of payment to be at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee), an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common stock
on the exercise date over the option price, multiplied by the number of SARs being exercised.
The Compensation Committee, either at the time of grant or at the time of exercise of any
Nonqualified Option or SAR, may provide for a supplemental payment (Supplemental Payment) by the
Company to the participant with respect to the exercise of any Nonqualified Option or SAR, in an
amount specified by the Compensation Committee, but which shall not exceed the amount necessary to
pay the federal income tax payable with respect to both the exercise of the Nonqualified Option
and/or SAR and the receipt of the Supplemental Payment, based on the assumption that the
participant is taxed at the maximum effective federal income tax rate on such amounts. The
Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to grant Supplemental Payments that are payable in
cash, common stock, or a combination of both, as determined by the Compensation Committee at the
time of payment.
Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock awards may be granted under the 2003 Long-Term Incentive
Plan, and the provisions applicable to a grant of Restricted Stock may vary among participants. In
making an award of Restricted Stock, the Compensation Committee will determine the periods during
which the Restricted Stock is subject to forfeiture. During the restriction period, the Participant
may not sell, transfer, pledge or assign the Restricted Stock, but will be entitled to vote the
Restricted Stock. The Compensation Committee, at the time of vesting of Restricted Stock, may
provide for a Supplemental Payment by the Company to the participant in an amount specified by the
Compensation Committee that shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the federal income tax
payable with respect to both the vesting of the Restricted Stock and receipt of the Supplemental
Payment, based on the assumption that the participant is taxed at the maximum effective federal
income tax rate on such amount.
Performance Units. The Compensation Committee may grant Incentive Awards representing a
contingent right to receive cash (Performance Units) or shares of common stock (Performance
Shares) at the end of a performance period. The Compensation Committee may grant Performance Units
and Performance Shares in such a manner that more than one performance period is in progress
concurrently. For each performance period, the Compensation Committee shall establish the number of
Performance Units or Performance Shares and the contingent value of any Performance Units or
Performance Shares, which may vary depending on the degree to which performance objectives
established by the Compensation Committee are met. The Compensation Committee may modify the
performance measures and objectives as it deems appropriate.
The basis for payment of Performance Units or Performance Shares for a given performance period
shall be the achievement of those financial and non-financial performance objectives determined by
the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the performance period. If minimum performance is
not achieved for a performance period, no payment shall be made and all contingent rights shall
cease. If minimum performance is achieved or exceeded, the value of a Performance Unit or
Performance Share shall be based on the degree to which actual performance exceeded the
pre-established minimum performance standards, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The
amount of payment shall be determined by multiplying the number of Performance Units or Performance
Shares granted at the beginning of the performance period by the final Performance Unit or
Performance Share value. Payments shall be made, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee,
solely in cash or common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock, following the close of
the applicable performance period.
The Compensation Committee, at the date of payment with respect to such Performance Units or
Performance Shares, may provide for a Supplemental Payment by us to the participant in an amount
specified by the Compensation Committee, which shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the
federal income tax payable with respect to the amount of payment made with respect to such
Performance Units or Performance Shares and receipt of the Supplemental Payment, based on the
assumption that the participant is taxed at the maximum effective federal income tax rate on such
amount.
Non-Employee Director Option Plan. The purpose of our Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan is to
foster and promote our long-term financial success and interests and to materially increase the
value of the equity interests in the Company by: (a) increasing our ability to attract and retain
talented men and women to serve on our Board of Directors, (b) increasing the incentives that these
non-employee directors have to help us succeed and (c) providing our non-employee directors with an
increased opportunity to share in our long-term growth and financial success.
20
Under the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director will be granted
options to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock upon their election to our Board of
Directors. In addition, each non-employee director will be awarded an option to purchase an
additional 3,000 shares of our common stock for each full year of service on our Board of
Directors. The exercise price for each of these options will be equal to the fair market value of
our common stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of an option is payable only
in cash. Options awarded under the Plan are not transferable other than as designated by the
participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Each of these options will have a ten-year term. One-third of the options will be exercisable
immediately upon grant, and one-half of the remaining portion of each option grant will vest and
become exercisable on the first and second anniversary dates of the date of grant, assuming that
the non-employee director remains on our Board of Directors on each such anniversary date. In the
event of a change of control, we may, after notice to the participant, require the participant to
cash-out his rights by transferring them to us in exchange for their equivalent cash value.
The Board of Directors shall not have the right to modify the number of options granted to a
non-employee director or the terms of the option grants.
A total of 175,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for grants of stock options under the
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. The Plan will terminate ten years from its adoption by our
shareholders unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors.
Tax Consequences. Under current tax laws, the grant of an option generally will not be a
taxable event to the optionee, and we will not be entitled to a deduction with respect to such
grant. Upon the exercise of an option, the non-employee director optionee will recognize ordinary
income at the time of exercise equal to the excess of the then fair market value of the shares of
common stock received over the exercise price. The taxable income recognized upon exercise of a
nonqualified option will be treated as compensation income subject to withholding, and we will be
entitled to deduct as a compensation expense an amount equal to the ordinary income an optionee
recognizes with respect to such exercise. When common stock received upon the exercise of a
nonqualified option subsequently is sold or exchanged in a taxable transaction, the holder thereof
generally will recognize capital gain (or loss) equal to the difference between the total amount
realized and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise; the character of
such gain or loss as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss will depend upon the holding
period of the shares following exercise.
Amendment and Termination. The Board of Directors may from time to time amend, and the
Board of Directors may terminate, the Non-Employee Director Incentive Plan, provided that no such
action shall modify the number of options granted to a non-employee director or change the terms of
any option grants, in each case as summarized in the preceding discussion, or adversely affect
option rights already granted there under without the consent of the impacted non-employee
director. In addition, no amendment may be made without the approval of our shareholders if
shareholder approval is necessary in order to comply with applicable law.
21
2009 Director Compensation
We use a combination of cash and equity incentives to compensate our non-employee directors.
Directors who are also our employees received no compensation for their service on our Board of
Directors in fiscal 2009. To determine the appropriate level of compensation for our non-employee
directors, we take into consideration the significant amount of time and dedication required by the
directors to fulfill their duties on our Board of Directors and Board of Directors committees as
well as the need to continue to attract highly qualified candidates to serve on our Board of
Directors. In addition, our compensation arrangement with Mel Marks reflects his 47 years of
relevant experience in the industry and our company. The information provided in the following
table reflects the compensation received by our directors for their service on our Board of
Directors in fiscal 2009.

|
Effective November 17, 2008, Irv Siegel resigned from our Board of Directors and as the
Chairman of the Compensation Committee and as a member of our Audit, Ethics, and Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committees. |
We have supplemental compensatory arrangements with Mel Marks, our founder, largest shareholder and
member of our Board of Directors. In August 2000, our Board of Directors agreed to engage Mel Marks
to provide consulting services to our company. Mr. Marks is paid an annual consulting fee of
$350,000 per year. We can terminate our consulting arrangement with Mr. Marks at any time.
We pay Mr. Gay $90,000 per year for serving on our Board of Directors, as well as assuming the
responsibility for being Chairman of our Audit and Ethics Committees.
In addition, each of our non-employee directors, other than Messrs. Marks and Gay, receives annual
compensation of $20,000 and is paid a fee of $2,000 for attending each Board of Directors meeting,
$2,000 for attending each Audit Committee meeting and $500 for any other Board of Directors
committee meeting attended. Each director is also reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred to attend Board of Directors or Board of Directors committee meetings.
Under our Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director is granted options to
purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock upon their election to our Board of Directors. In
addition, each non-employee
director is awarded an option to purchase an additional 3,000 shares of our common stock for each
full year of service on our Board of Directors.
Indemnification of Executive Officers and Directors
Article Seven of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides, in part, that to the extent
required by New York Business Corporation Law, or NYBCL, no director shall have any personal
liability to us or our shareholders for damage for any breach of duty as such director, provided
that each such director shall be liable under the following circumstances: (a) in the event that a
judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director establishes that his acts or
omissions were in bad faith, involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or that
such
22
director personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such
director was not legally entitled or that such directors acts violated Section 719 of the NYBCL or
(b) for any act or omission prior to the adoption of Article Seven of our Restated Certificate of
Incorporation.
Article Nine of our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any person, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of our company or served any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise in any capacity at
our request, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses,
including attorneys fees incurred as a result of an action or proceeding, or any appeal therefrom,
provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made to, or on behalf of, any director or
officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director or officer establishes
that (a) his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (b) he or
she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not
legally entitled.
We may purchase and maintain insurance for our own indemnification and for that of our directors
and officers and other proper persons as described in Article Nine of our Bylaws. We maintain and
pay premiums for directors and officers liability insurance policies.
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and Sections 721-726 of Article 7 of
the NYBCL provide for the indemnification and advancement of expenses to directors and officers.
Section 721 of the NYBCL provides that indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions
contained in the NYBCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights which a director or officer
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, provided no indemnification may
be made on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
the director or officer establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the
result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated,
or that he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or
she was not legally entitled.
Section 722 of the NYBCL permits, in general, a New York corporation to indemnify any person made,
or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she
was a director or officer of that corporation, or served another entity in any capacity at the
request of that corporation, against any judgment, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable
expenses, including attorneys fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or
proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such person acted in good faith, for a purpose he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service of another entity, not opposed to, the
best interests of that corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, who in addition had no
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. However, no indemnification may
be made to, or on behalf of, any director or officer in a derivative suit in respect of (a) a
threatened action or a pending action that is settled or otherwise disposed of or (b) any claim,
issue or matter for which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and
only to the extent that a court in which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any
court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnify for that portion of settlement and expenses as the court deems
proper.
Section 723 of the NYBCL permits a New York corporation to pay in advance of a final disposition of
such action or proceeding the expenses incurred in defending such action or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount as, and to the
extent, required by statute. Section 724 of the NYBCL permits a court to award the indemnification
required by Section 722.
Section 725 provides for repayment of such expenses when the recipient is ultimately found not to
be entitled to indemnification. Section 726 provides that a corporation may obtain indemnification
insurance indemnifying itself and its directors and officers.
The foregoing is only a summary of the described sections of the NYBCL and our Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to such
sections and charter documents.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners And Management and Related Stockholder
Matters
The following table sets forth, as of July 24, 2009, certain information as to the common stock
ownership of each of our named executive officers, directors, all executive officers and directors
as a group and all persons known by us to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of our
common stock. The percentage of common stock beneficially owned is based on 11,962,021 shares of
common stock outstanding as of July 24, 2009.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number
of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership held by that person,
shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or
will become exercisable within 60 days of July 24, 2009 are deemed outstanding, while these shares
are not deemed outstanding for determining the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless
otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole
voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community
property laws where applicable. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, the address of
the stockholder is c/o Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. 2929 California Street, Torrance, CA 90503.

On July 22, 2008, we retired 108,534 shares of our common stock which had been pledged by Mr.

Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, to review, approve and/or ratify such transactions as
they arise. In making its determination to approve or ratify a transaction, our Board of
Directors, or a committee thereof, would consider such factors as (i) the extent of the related
partys interest in the transaction, (ii) if applicable, the availability of other sources of
comparable products or services, (iii) whether the terms of the related party transaction are no
less favorable than terms generally available in unaffiliated transactions under like
circumstances, (iv) the benefit to us, and (v) the aggregate value of the transaction.
