PURCHASE AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT REGARDING SALES OF COMPONENTS FROM VISTEON
CORPORATION TO AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS HOLDINGS, LLC
This Purchase and Supply Agreement Regarding Sales of Components from Visteon
Corporation to Automotive Components Holdings, LLC ("AGREEMENT") dated as of
September 30, 2005 is entered into by and between Visteon Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("VISTEON"), and Automotive Components Holdings, LLC (f/k/a
VFH Holdings, LLC) ("NEWCO"), a Delaware limited liability company. Each of
Newco and Visteon is herein referred to as a "PARTY" and collectively, the
"PARTIES."
RECITALS
A. Newco owns and operates manufacturing and assembly facilities in North
America that were formerly owned and operated by Visteon or its wholly-owned
subsidiaries ("NEWCO FACILITIES"). Visteon or its wholly-owned subsidiaries
supply motor-vehicle-related parts, components and systems from their
manufacturing and assembly facilities in North America ("VISTEON FACILITIES") to
Newco Facilities.
B. Except as described in Recital C, the purpose of this Agreement is to
describe supply obligations, pricing, and related matters for certain
motor-vehicle-related parts, components and systems that are manufactured by a
Visteon Facility and supplied by such Visteon Facility to a Newco Facility. It
does not cover the sale of motor-vehicle-related parts, components and systems
by Newco to Visteon (which is addressed in the Purchase and Supply Agreement
Regarding Sales of Components from Automotive Components Holdings, LLC to
Visteon Corporation between Newco and Visteon dated as of the date of this
Agreement). References in this Agreement to motor-vehicle-related parts,
components or systems that are "manufactured by a Visteon Facility and supplied
by such Visteon Facility to a Newco Facility" mean that such parts, components
or systems are manufactured by such Visteon Facility and supplied by such
Visteon Facility directly, or through a warehouse or shipping facility, to a
Newco Facility. Except as provided for in Exhibit 4, parts, components, or
systems that are merely supplied by a Visteon Facility to a Newco Facility, but
which are not manufactured by such Visteon Facility, are not covered under this
Agreement.
C. This Agreement does not cover motor-vehicle-related parts, components or
systems: (i) supplied by a Visteon facility that is not a facility of Visteon
Corporation or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in North America to a Newco
Facility; or (ii) which are Service Parts (as defined in Exhibit 5); in each
case except to the extent expressly set forth in EXHIBIT 4 or 5, as applicable
(or in Section 15.13 below, which shall apply to Service Parts). EXHIBIT 6 to
this Agreement lists (i) Visteon's Affiliates, including its wholly-owned
subsidiaries in North America, its Affiliates in North America which are not
wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its Affiliates outside of North America, and (ii)
Visteon Related Companies.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this
Agreement and intending to be legally bound, Visteon and Newco agree:

2. PURCHASE AND SUPPLY COMMITMENTS
2.1 General. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but

Long Term Supply Agreement, Sourcing Agreement, or Target Agreement, Visteon
shall supply to Newco, and Newco shall purchase from Visteon, each of the
following Components during the term of this Agreement:
(a) "EXISTING BUSINESS IN PRODUCTION," which means all Components which, as
of May 1, 2005, were manufactured by a Visteon Facility and supplied by
such Visteon Facility to a Newco Facility. Such Components are set forth in
EXHIBIT 1 to this Agreement.
(b) "EXISTING BUSINESS - FUTURE MODEL," which means Components which, as of
May 1, 2005, were planned by Visteon to be manufactured by a Visteon
Facility and supplied by such Visteon Facility to a Newco Facility (i)
pursuant to a reasonably developed and documented plan, and (ii) for supply
to, or for inclusion in another part, component, or system to be supplied
to, Ford or another customer of Visteon that was sourced to Visteon
pursuant to a signed Sourcing Agreement with Pricing, Target Agreement, or
purchase order (in the case of Ford) or a written sourcing commitment with
pricing established or purchase order (in the case of another customer of
Visteon), in each case issued prior to May 1, 2005, but which were not
being manufactured and supplied as of May 1, 2005. Such Components are set

Exhibit 1 (as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(a)) are
excluded from such Exhibit, and such Components are discovered to have
been excluded:
(A) on or before 6 months after the date of this Agreement, such
Components will be added to Exhibit 1, unless the Parties
otherwise agree in writing; or,
(B) after 6 months after the date of this Agreement, the Parties
will discuss in good faith as to whether such Components will be
added to Exhibit 1, and such Components will be added if the
Parties agree in writing.
(ii) In the event that Components which should have been included in
Exhibit 2 (as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) are
excluded from such Exhibit, and such Components are discovered to have
been excluded:
(A) on or before three months after the date of this Agreement,
and such Components are to go into production prior to or on such
date, such Components will be added to Exhibit 2; or,
(B) after three months after the date of this Agreement (or prior
to such date, but which are not covered under Section
2.1(c)(ii)(A) above), the Parties will discuss in good faith as
to whether such Components will be added to Exhibit 2, and such
Components will be added if the Parties agree in writing.
(d) Without limiting any rights or remedies of Newco, if a part, component,
or system is listed on Exhibit 2 ("LISTED COMPONENT"), which Listed

2005, at a Newco Facility, and North American Sourcing Council approval was
not obtained to have such Listed Component manufactured at a facility other
than a Master Agreement Plant, such Listed Component will, upon Newco's
written request to Visteon, be removed from Exhibit 2 and may be added to
Exhibit 2 to the Purchase and Supply Agreement Regarding Sales of
Components from Automotive Components Holdings, LLC to Visteon Corporation
between Newco and Visteon dated as of the date of this Agreement.
2.2 Expiration of Term or Cessation of Existing Business Designation. Upon the
termination or expiration of this Agreement, or when any Components that are
Existing Business cease to be designated as Existing Business as provided for
under this Agreement, Newco's rights to cease purchasing such Components from
Visteon, and Visteon's rights to cease supply of such Components to Newco, shall
be as specified under the applicable Purchase Order or Long Term Supply
Agreement, including the Global Terms, for such Components (without regard to
any amendment or supplement to the same provided for under this Agreement, but
subject to Sections 13 and 14 below).
2.3 Contract Covering Sale and Purchase of Components Which Are Existing
Business In Production.
(a) Purchase Order or Long Term Supply Agreement Issued. When a Purchase
Order or Long Term Supply Agreement (as applicable) is issued after the
date of this Agreement by Newco to Visteon for Components which are
Existing Business In Production, the terms and conditions of the same
(including the Global Terms) will apply in regard to the sale and purchase
of such Components, except to the extent that such Purchase Order, Long
Term Supply Agreement, or Global Terms are modified or supplemented under,
or conflict with, this Agreement in regard to such Components. Visteon
agrees to accept any such Purchase Order or Long Term Supply Agreement (as
applicable) issued by Newco to Visteon for such Components, provided that
the terms and conditions of the same are consistent with
7
<PAGE>
this Agreement in regard to such Components. Newco agrees to issue such
Purchase Orders and Long Term Supply Agreements as soon as reasonably
practicable after the date of this Agreement. Any such Purchase Order or
Long Term Supply Agreement issued will be an Existing Agreement for the
purposes of this Agreement.
(b) Prior to Issuance of Purchase Order or Long Term Supply Agreement.
Until such time as a Purchase Order or Long Term Supply Agreement (as
applicable) is issued after the date of this Agreement by Newco to Visteon
for Components which are Existing Business In Production, a Purchase Order,
on Visteon's standard form (as of May 1, 2005) attached hereto as Exhibit 3
(including the Global Terms) (as if issued by Newco, not Visteon) will be
deemed to apply in regard to the sale by Visteon and purchase by Newco of
such Components, except to the extent that such Purchase Order, Long Term
Supply Agreement, or Global Terms are modified or supplemented under, or
conflict with, this Agreement in regard to such Components. Any such
Purchase Order deemed to apply will be an Existing Agreement for the
purposes of this Agreement.
2.4 Contract Covering Sale and Purchase of Existing Business - Future Model.
Components which are Existing Business - Future Model supplied by Visteon to
Newco will be supplied under the Purchase Order or Long Term Supply Agreement
(as applicable) (including the Global Terms) issued after the date of this
Agreement by Newco to Visteon for the same, except to the extent that such
Purchase Order, Long Term Supply Agreement, or Global Terms are modified or
supplemented under, or conflict with, this Agreement in regard to such
Components. Visteon agrees to accept any such Purchase Order or Long Term Supply
Agreement (as applicable) issued by Newco to Visteon for such Components,
provided that the terms and conditions of the same are consistent with this
Agreement in regard to such Components. Newco agrees to issue such Purchase
Orders and Long Term Supply Agreements as soon as reasonably practicable after
the date of this Agreement. Any such Purchase Order or Long Term Supply
Agreement issued will be an Existing Agreement for the purposes of this
Agreement.
2.5 Volumes. No specific volume commitments by Newco for Existing Business will
exist. However, without limiting the foregoing sentence, Newco will continue to
purchase at least the same percentage of its requirements (at a Component-level)
for Existing Business from Visteon as Newco Facilities were purchasing or
receiving (at normal, non-exceptional, operational levels) from Visteon
Facilities on and prior to May 1, 2005 (when such Newco Facilities were Visteon
Facilities), and Visteon will supply such percentage, in each case except to the
extent that Newco Facilities are sold, transferred, exited, or closed (in regard
to the applicable Components purchased by the same), Newco's purchase
obligations relating to such Components are terminated, expire, or are assigned
in accordance with this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in
writing. For example, if Newco Facilities were purchasing or receiving 70% of
their requirements for a specific Component from Visteon Facilities on and prior
to May 1, 2005 at normal operational levels, Newco will continue to purchase at
least 70% of its requirements for such specific Component from Visteon during
the term of this Agreement (subject to the specific exceptions referred to in
the prior sentence). The foregoing will not, however, permit Visteon to cease
supplying at such percentage to the assignee of any Existing Agreement upon
assignment of such Existing Agreement by Newco to such assignee.
2.6 No Obligation to Issue Long Term Supply Agreement; Conflict with this
Agreement. Newco shall have no obligation under this Agreement to issue a Long
Term Supply Agreement (as opposed to a Purchase Order) to Visteon for any
Existing Business or other Components. In the event of a conflict between the
terms of any Purchase Order, Long Term Supply Agreement, or Global Terms and
this Agreement in regard to specific Components, the terms of this Agreement
shall control in regard to such Components.
2.7 Use of Standard-Form Visteon Purchasing Documents. It is anticipated that
Newco will need to utilize standard-form Visteon purchasing documents (e.g.,
Purchase Orders, Long Term Supply Agreements, Sourcing Agreements, Target
Agreements, etc.) as its own purchasing documents for some period of time after
the date of this Agreement in regard to Newco's procurement of Components from
Visteon. As such, for the purposes of
8
<PAGE>
applying any such documents, the following terms used in such documents shall
have the following meanings: "Buyer" will mean Newco; "Seller" will mean
Visteon; and, "Supplies" will mean the applicable Components. In addition, in
any such Visteon documents a reference to Visteon's Global Terms For Production
Parts and Non-Production Goods and Services (VGT REV 4/03) will be deemed to
refer to the Global Terms.
2.8 Affect on Other Agreements. Any agreements between a Newco Facility (which,
at the time, would have been a Visteon Facility) and a Visteon Facility in
effect as of the date of this Agreement relating to the supply of Components
from such Visteon Facility to such Newco Facility covered under this Agreement
are superseded (except for use in establishing pricing as described in Section
3.1(a) or (b)) by the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, and by
any Purchase Order or Long Term Supply Agreement issued pursuant to this
Agreement, relating to such Components.
3. PRICING

date of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the productivity
reductions specified in Section 3.2 below), or for any price change
resulting from Directed Tier 2 Sourcing (as described in Section 8.2). No
other changes to the prices of such Components will occur unless agreed
upon by the Parties in writing.
(d) Prices for Ford - Visteon Directed Components. Notwithstanding Section
3.1(a) or (b), the price to Newco for a Ford - Visteon Directed Component

3.2 Productivity Price Reductions. (a) Visteon shall reduce the prices for all
Ford-Vehicle Components (including, without limitation, any Ford - Visteon
Directed Components, but excluding Ford - Visteon Directed Audio Components
after December 31, 2006) supplied to Newco and included in the calculation of
Newco Carryover Frozen Turnover (as described below) beginning on the date of
this Agreement through December 8, 2008 by the following percentages (such
reductions will be made effective as of January 1 of the applicable calendar
year as described in Subsection 3.3 below):

Calendar Year 2005 2006 2007 2008
-------------------- ---- ---- ---- ----
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Percentage Reduction *** *** *** ***
</TABLE>
For a given calendar year, the aggregate productivity price reduction for all
Components included in the calculation of Newco Carryover Frozen Turnover will
be calculated by applying the applicable Percentage Reduction for such calendar
year against the "Newco Carryover Frozen Turnover." The "Newco Carryover Frozen
Turnover" shall be equal to the Total Frozen Turnover, less the Target Agreement
Turnover, less the Newco Buy Turnover, less any Components excluded from the
calculation of the Newco Carryover Frozen Turnover as described in Section
3.2(b) below, less Ford - Visteon Directed Audio Components after December 31,
2006. The following definitions shall apply to this calculation:
"Total Frozen Turnover" shall be equal to the total projected sales of
Components by Visteon to Newco using Newco's budgeted volume, mix and rates
assumptions for the applicable calendar year.
"Target Agreement Turnover" means that portion of the Total Frozen Turnover for
Components that will be launched during the applicable calendar year where Newco
and Visteon have entered into signed Target Agreements (or the sourcing document
of Newco that is the equivalent of a Ford Target Agreement).
