On May 18, 2012, Motorcar Parts of America, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Employment Agreement with Selwyn Joffe, the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Employment Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, all stock options granted to Mr. Joffe by the Company are required to contain terms permitting net issue exercises.  Subsequently, on December 28, 2012, a stock option with an aggregate of 233,200 underlying shares (the “December 2012 Stock Option”) was granted to Mr. Joffe pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Incentive Award Plan, as amended from time to time.  The Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which the December 2012 Stock Option was granted did not reflect terms relating to net issue exercises as required by the Employment Agreement.  On August 6, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Form of Stock Option Grant Notice and Form of Stock Option Agreement that contain terms permitting net issue exercises.  The Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which the December 2012 Stock Option was granted to Mr. Joffe were amended to conform to the Form of Stock Option Grant Notice and Form of Stock Option Agreement adopted by the Company on August 6, 2013, which will be used in connection with any future stock options granted to Mr. Joffe.

The foregoing descriptions of the Form of Stock Option Grant Notice and Form of Stock Option Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Form of Stock Option Grant Notice and Form of Stock Option Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
