ARTICLE 7

EMPLOYMENT MATTERS; EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

     7.1 Employee Benefit Plans.

          (a) Schedule 7.1(a) hereto lists all material Benefit Plans in effect as of November 30, 2006 including, without limitation, all pension, profit-sharing, savings and thrift, bonus, incentive or deferred compensation, severance pay and medical and life insurance plans in which any current or former Employees participate (collectively, “ Employee Benefit Plans ”).

          (b) Lear has provided or made available to the Company: (i) a complete copy of each written Employee Benefit Plan and a description of any unwritten Employee Benefit Plan, each as in effect on the date hereof; (ii) a copy of each trust agreement or other funding vehicle with respect to each such plan; (iii) a copy of the most recently received determination letter, if any, and any and all currently effective rulings or notices issued by a governmental or regulatory authority, with respect to each such plan; (iv) a copy of the Form 5500 Annual Report (or similar governmental report applicable outside of the United States), if any, for each of the two most recent plan years for each such plan; and (vi) the most recent summary plan description, if any, with respect to each such plan (excluding for purposes of this subsection (b) any documents not available to Lear relating to any “multiemployer plan”, as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA and any Canadian multiemployer plan to which a Lear Company is contributing on behalf of non-U.S. Employees).

          (c) Each U.S. Employee Benefit Plan (other than a multiemployer plan) has been operated and administered in material compliance with its terms and all applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code and with any applicable reporting and disclosure requirements, including but not limited to the requirement of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code.

          (d) Each Employee Benefit Plan (other than a multiemployer plan) which is intended to meet the requirements of a “qualified plan” under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and has either received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service that such plan is so qualified or has requested such a favorable determination letter within the remedial amendment period of Section 401(b) of the Code and neither Lear nor any Lear Company is aware of any facts or circumstances that would jeopardize the qualification of such plan or the tax exempt status of any related trust maintained by any Lear Company or an ERISA Affiliate intended to be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation under Section 501 of the Code, or the qualified or registered status of any Benefit Plan or trust maintained outside the United States.

          (e) Except as set forth on Schedule 7.1(e) , no U.S. Employee Benefit Plan (other than a multiemployer plan) which is a defined benefit plan or is subject to Title IV of ERISA or any trust established thereunder has incurred any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of each Title IV Plan ended prior to the Closing Date.

          (f) Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 7.1(f) , none of the Employee Benefit Plans provides or obligates any Lear Company or its Subsidiaries to provide any Employee (or any dependent thereof) any life insurance or medical or health or any other welfare benefits after their termination of employment with a Lear Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than as required under Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, Section 4980B of the Code or any similar state law, and except as otherwise set forth on Schedu
