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:

(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

(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

(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:

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

(a) Existing
Business in Production. Subject to Sections 3.1(c) - (e), for
Existing
Business in Production, the prices of such Components will be

price for the same agreed upon by Visteon and Ford, and such
price will be
adjusted for any Design Change or productivity price
reduction agreed
upon by Visteon and Ford in writing (including, without
limitation, the
productivity reductions specified in Section 3.2 below).
(e) Prices for
Non-Ford Components. In the event that Newco's customer for
parts,
components, or systems supplied by Newco incorporating Non-Ford
Components
supplied by Visteon requests a price reduction for such parts,
components, or
systems supplied by Newco, or for such Non-Ford Components
supplied by
Visteon, Visteon will, to the extent requested by Newco,
negotiate in
good faith with Newco regarding the price reduction.

and included in the calculation of
Newco Carryover Frozen Turnover (as

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).
"Newco Buy Turnover" means that portion of
the Total Frozen Turnover for which
Newco has negotiated the price on behalf of
Visteon pursuant to Section 8.2.
The productivity price reductions for 2005
described above will not be
duplicative of or in addition to any
productivity price reduction to the price
of a Component implemented by Visteon prior
to the date of this Agreement as a
result of the productivity reductions
required of Visteon for 2005 unde
