The aggregate purchase price of the 11,994,943 Shares purchased by High

(including commissions). The source of funding for the purchase of these Shares
was the general working capital of the respective purchasers. The Shares are
held by the Reporting Persons in margin accounts. Such margin accounts may from

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Persons acquired their positions in the Shares in the belief
that they were undervalued.
On October 17, 2006, Koala, Icahn Partners and Icahn Master entered into a
stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with the Issuer,
pursuant to which they will acquire approximately $200 million of common stock
of the Issuer in a private placement, at a price of $23.00 per share, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement (including the receipt
of applicable antitrust clearance) (the "Transaction"). The Stock Purchase
Agreement provides the Reporting Persons with the right to a representative on
Lear's board of directors and contains certain other corporate governance terms
and conditions with respect to the Reporting Persons' ownership position in the
Issuer. A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as an exhibit
and incorporated herein by reference, and any descriptions herein of the Stock
Purchase Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
The Reporting Persons are pleased that they have been invited in by
management of the Issuer and that the Issuer feels that the Reporting Persons
can be of added value. The Reporting Persons expect to have ongoing discussions
with management of the Issuer, including Robert Rossiter, the Issuer's Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, and to work together with the Issuer to enhance
shareholder value. Representatives of the Reporting Persons have discussed with
Mr. Rossiter the desirability to the Issuer of selling its domestic interiors
business.
The Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time, acquire
additional Shares in the open market or otherwise and reserve the right to
dispose of any or all of their Shares in the open market or otherwise, at any
time and from time to time, and to engage in any hedging or similar transactions
with respect to the Shares.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the
aggregate, 11,994,943 Shares, representing approximately 15.77% of the Issuer's
outstanding Shares (based upon the sum of (i) the 67,348,122 Shares stated to be
outstanding as of August 4, 2006 by the Issuer in the Issuer's Annual Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2006, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 8, 2006, and (ii) the 8,695,652 Shares to be

Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to
High River (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially
own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which High
River directly beneficially owns. Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn
disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes. Each of
Barberry and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to Koala (as disclosed
in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which Koala directly
beneficially owns. Each of Barberry and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership
of such Shares for all other purposes. Each of Icahn Offshore, CCI Offshore and
Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to Icahn Master (as disclosed in

(1) Shares to be acquired in connection with the Transaction (see Item 4 for
details).
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to
Securities of the Issuer
The description of the Transaction set forth above in Item 4 is
incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, enter into and dispose of
cash-settled equity swap or other similar derivative transactions with one or
more counterparties that are based upon the Shares of the Issuer, which
transactions may be significant in amount. The profit, loss and/or return on
such contracts may be wholly or partially dependent on the market value of the
Shares, the relative value of Shares in comparison to one or more other
financial instruments, indexes or securities, a basket or group of securities in
which Shares may be included, or a combination of any of the foregoing. In
addition to the Shares which they beneficially own without reference to these
contracts, the Reporting Persons currently have long economic exposure to
5,836,400 Shares through such contracts. These contracts do not give the
Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control
over the securities of the Issuer to which these transactions relate and,
accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership in any
securities held or which may be acquired by the counterparties to such
arrangements.
Except as otherwise described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in
Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of
the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the
securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.
