     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the mutual

covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration given

by each Party hereto to the other, the sufficiency and receipt of which are

hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby

agree as follows:

 

                                    ARTICLE 1

                                      TERM

 

     Section 1.01. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on October 1,

2005, such date being referred to hereafter as the "EFFECTIVE DATE" and shall

terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of employment of all of

                                    ARTICLE 2

                        LEASE OF VISTEON HOURLY EMPLOYEES

 

     Section 2.01. Lease and Employee Census. A preliminary employee census is

attached as Schedule 2.01 ("PRELIMINARY CENSUS"). The Preliminary Census sets

forth a list of the Bellevue Hourly Employees to be leased to ACH as of the

Effective Date, together with their base hourly wage rate, Visteon service date,

job classification, location code and Global Identification Number. Within five

days of the date hereof, Visteon shall update the Preliminary Census with any

applicable changes and deliver the Preliminary Census to ACH. ACH shall have an

additional five days to approve the revised Preliminary Census. After the

revised Preliminary Census is approved by ACH, it shall be substituted for

Schedule 2.01 and shall be known as the "EMPLOYEE Census". Employees who are

identified on the Employee Census shall be known as "LEASED EMPLOYEES". In the

event that ACH requires additional hourly employees to work in the Business, ACH

will inform Visteon of its personnel requirements. Visteon shall hire only that

number of employees with the specified skills that ACH requests. Visteon and ACH

shall agree on the hiring process to be used. Visteon shall update the Employee

Census at least monthly for any Visteon New Hires or Bellevue Hourly Employees

and other employee transactions (i.e., quits, death, transfers, etc.) in

connection with the invoice procedure specified in Section 4.04. Bellevue Hourly

Employees and Visteon New Hires on the Employee Census shall be known for

purposes of this Agreement as the "LEASED EMPLOYEES". The period during which

Leased Employees are leased to ACH is referred to as the "LEASE PERIOD". ACH

agrees to lease from Visteon, and Visteon agrees to lease to ACH, the Leased

Employees under the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 2.02. Buyer Leasing. In the event of a sale or transfer of all or

any part of the Business to a buyer, Visteon and Ford shall mutually agree on

any ultimate disposition of the Leased Employees to a buyer, subject to UAW

consent. Visteon shall make any appropriate arrangements concerning HR services

as is determined by ACH, Visteon and a buyer for up to twenty-four (24) months

under the terms of the Master Services Agreement between the Parties executed as

of even date herewith ("MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT"). Visteon shall provide such

HR services to a buyer at the following rates:

10-15 months post-sale             Cost + 8%

16 months and beyond post-sale    Cost + 12%

</TABLE>

 

     Section 2.03. Redundant Employees. ACH shall give Visteon at least ten

business days notice (where practical) when ACH desires to discontinue the lease

of any individual Leased Employee or group of Leased Employee, in its sole

discretion. The requirement for at least ten business days notice will be waived

in situations when a Leased Employee commits an offense which would justify a

"for cause" termination under Visteon's personnel practices and consistent with

the applicable CBA, in which event such employee will be terminated from this

Agreement immediately and returned to Visteon. Visteon shall delete any such

employee from the Employee Census effective on the last day worked for ACH;

provided however, that ACH shall remain responsible for reimbursing Visteon for

only those costs Visteon may incur with respect to such employee under the terms

of the applicable CBA, including SUB costs, if any. Notwithstanding the above,

lease fees for any Leased Employee terminated "for cause" shall cease the day

the termination is effective. Visteon shall be responsible for complying with

any applicable Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ("WARN") Act or

other applicable legal requirements in connection with a termination of a Leased

Employee, provided that Visteon receives notice from ACH sufficiently in advance

to permit such compliance, including notification requirements. If Visteon does

not receive sufficient notice from ACH, ACH shall be responsible for all costs

of such compliance with WARN or any similar law, including costs of any period

of continued employment or pay in lieu of notice.

                                    ARTICLE 3

                                 EMPLOYER MATTERS

 

     Section 3.01. Employer Definition. Visteon shall be the employer of the

Leased Employees and ACH shall not be considered the employer. Visteon will

instruct Leased Employees to (i) conform to applicable law and ACH policies

while at ACH facilities regarding safety and health, personal and professional

conduct (including the wearing of an identification badge or personal protective

equipment and adhering to plant regulations and general safety practices or

procedures) generally applicable to such facilities, which policies, procedures,

rules and regulations ACH will provide as soon as practicable after the date

hereof, and as soon as practicable upon any modification, termination or

adoption of any such policy, procedure, rule or regulation; and (ii) to

otherwise conduct themselves in a lawful and businesslike manner. Leased

Employees also shall be subject at all times to ACH's and Visteon's policies and

procedures. During the Lease Period, Visteon shall retain responsibility for all

payments and benefits due to the Leased Employees in connection with their work

relating to the Business and pro-rated for part-time employment, including but

not limited to:

 

     (i) the payment of Leased Employees' base hourly wage or other components

of pay as required under the applicable CBA (less any applicable withholding or

other taxes or any amounts deducted from such wages pursuant to normal payroll

practices of Visteon);

 

     (ii) the provision of all other employee benefits under the applicable CBA;

 

     (iii) payment of all federal, state, or local taxes withheld or otherwise

required to be paid with respect thereto; and

 

     (iv) the liability for statutory benefits, including workers' compensation,

payable to employees.

 

     Section 3.02. Management of Employees. ACH and its management shall have

the right to assign to, and to structure work for, the Leased Employees in

accordance with the terms of the applicable CBA. Visteon acknowledges that ACH

will have no employees, but ACH will carry out its management responsibilities

hereunder by retaining appropriate personnel by assignment from Ford, leasing

salaried employees from Visteon or retaining agency employees either by itself

or through Visteon.

 

     Section 3.03. Information. ACH shall provide Visteon on a weekly basis a

summary of the hours of service rendered by each of the Leased Employees during

the preceding week. In addition, ACH shall provide Visteon with such information

or documents as Visteon may reasonably request with respect to a

 

 

                                       4

<PAGE>

Leased Employee. ACH will share any such information with Visteon (other than

non-job related personal care received by the Leased Employees unless related to

a legitimate business interest of Visteon) regardless of any claim of privilege

or confidentiality because Visteon is an employer of the Leased Employees.

 

     Section 3.04. Payroll and Related Services. During the Lease Period,

Visteon shall provide payroll processing services for the Leased Employees

comparable to such services for its employees other than Leased Employees. Upon

reasonable request or as needed, Visteon will provide assurances that all proper

payments and reporting requirements have been made.

 

     Section 3.05. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) During the Lease Period, Visteon

shall cover the Leased Employees under the employee benefit and fringe benefit

plans and arrangements under the applicable CBA. Leased Employees shall be

ineligible to participate in any employee benefit plan or fringe benefit program

sponsored by ACH or Ford. Requests for leave, reasonable accommodation and other

benefits provided by Visteon policies or by federal, state or local law will be

coordinated by ACH and Visteon. For avoidance of doubt, during the Lease Period,

Visteon reserves the right to modify, terminate or suspend any employee benefit

or fringe benefit plan applicable to any of the Leased Employees, with ACH

consent, and subject to the applicable CBA.

 

     (b) During the Lease Period, Visteon shall maintain, administer and manage

all employee benefit and fringe benefit plans and arrangements offered to the

Leased Employees.

 

                                    ARTICLE 4

                                  REIMBURSEMENT

 

     Section 4.01. Direct Wage and Benefit Costs. Visteon shall be reimbursed

for the direct wage and benefit costs for the Leased Employees. For purposes of

this Section 4.01, reimbursements for "direct wage and benefit costs" shall

include:

 

     (i) The weekly gross wage, and any other type of cash compensation

specified in the applicable CBA, such as the Christmas bonus, moving allowance,

and any other cash compensation not included in the Standard Monthly Group

Fringe Cost (as defined below);

 

     (ii) A per-employee Standard Monthly Group Fringe Cost according to the

rate schedules set forth on Schedule 4.01(ii) attached hereto. The rate schedule

shall be reviewed monthly by ACH. Visteon may change the rate schedule

periodically to reflect changes in costs and plan benefits, but no more than

four
