Section 1Registrants Business and Operations
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Revolving Credit Facility
Effective as of March 19, 2010, Lear Corporation (the Company) entered into an amendment and
restatement (the Amended and Restated First Lien Agreement) of the First Lien Agreement (as
defined below) with the lenders providing for a new $110 million revolving credit facility (the
Revolving Credit Facility) under the Amended and Restated First Lien Agreement. The credit
agreement dated October 23, 2009 (the First Lien Agreement), among the Company, JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the several lenders and agents from
time to time parties thereto permits such an amendment and restatement with the consent of the
Company and the lenders providing the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility
permits the Company to borrow for general corporate and working capital purposes and to issue
letters of credit. The commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility expire on March 19, 2013.
The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to terms and conditions substantially consistent with the
terms and conditions of the First Lien Agreement.
Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to
(i) LIBOR, as adjusted for certain statutory reserves, plus an adjustable margin based on the
Companys corporate rating, which initially is 4.50%, payable on the last day of each applicable
interest period but in no event less frequently than quarterly, or (ii) the Adjusted Base Rate (as
defined in the Amended and Restated First Lien Agreement) plus an adjustable margin based on the
Companys corporate rating, which initially is 3.50%, payable
quarterly. In the event the term loans outstanding under the First
Lien Agreement and the Second Lien Agreement (as defined below) under the Amended and Restated First Lien Agreement
are paid in full, the margin applicable to all advances under the Revolving Credit Facility will be
reduced by 25 basis points. In addition, the Amended and Restated First Lien Agreement obligates
the Company to pay certain fees to the lenders.
First Amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement
On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment (the First Amendment) of the Amended and
Restated First Lien Agreement, to facilitate, among other things, the issuance of the notes by the
Company referenced in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the Notes) and in connection
therewith, to permit the application of the proceeds of such offering to prepay amounts outstanding
under the Companys second lien credit agreement (the Second Lien Agreement) and to permit the
application of the Companys existing cash in connection with the repayment of remaining amounts
outstanding under the Second Lien Agreement. The First Amendment also provides that the Company
may repurchase certain amounts of the Notes when certain terms and conditions are met and that, in
the event the term loans outstanding under the First Lien Agreement and the Second Lien Agreement under the Amended and Restated
First Lien Agreement are paid in full, the Company will be permitted upon certain conditions to pay
a limited amount of cash dividends or repurchase a limited amount of its stock.

Litigation
Related Matters
In connection with our patent infringement lawsuit against Johnson Controls Inc. and Johnson
Controls Interiors LLC (together, the JCI Parties), on March 11, 2010, the court issued an
opinion and order granting the JCI Parties motion for summary judgment on two of the three
patents-in-suit, U.S. Patent No. Re 36,181 and U.S. Patent No.
Re 36,752. This order leaves for trial
by jury the issue of whether the JCI Parties infringed the third patent-in-suit, U.S. Patent No.
5,731,756.
In connection with The Chamberlain Groups lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging patent infringement, we filed two motions for
summary judgment on non-infringement on March 18, 2010.
For a discussion of both of these cases, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements
included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2010 and incorporated

no Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor of the Facilities is an obligor in respect of
such other Indebtedness and (vi) such other Indebtedness bears interest at a rate, which rate shall
be, in the good faith judgment of the Borrowers board of directors, consistent with the market at
the time of issuance for similar Indebtedness for comparable issuers or borrowers.

Commitment of such Lender, from the effective date of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.18
until the Closing Date, payable on the Closing Date.

Commitment of such Lender, payable on the Closing Date and (ii) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the
Delayed Draw Commitment of such Lender that is funded on the Delayed Draw Funding Date, payable on
the Delayed Draw Funding Date.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a
commitment fee (the Delayed Draw Commitment Fee) in an amount equal to 2.00% per annum of
the Delayed Draw Commitments from the Closing Date until the earlier of the Delayed Draw Funding
Date or termination of the Delayed Draw Commitments, pursuant to Section 2.7, payable on the
Delayed Draw Funding Date or termination of the Delayed Draw Commitments, as applicable.
(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Restatement Date to the last day of
the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of
the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made,
payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the Restatement Date.
(e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the
dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other
obligations contained therein.
2.7. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Closing Date Commitments shall terminate on the
earlier of (x) the funding of the Closing Date Loans on the Closing Date and (y) 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on December 15, 2009 and (ii) the Delayed Draw Commitments shall terminate at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the date that is 35 days after the Closing Date (or, if the Closing
Date does not occur by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 15, 2009, at such time).
(b) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days notice to the
Administrative Agent, to terminate any Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of
any Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments
shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans
made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total
Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole
multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the applicable Commitments then in effect.
2.8. Optional Prepayments. (a) Subject to subsection (b) below, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time
prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice
delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business
Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and one Business Day prior thereto, in the
case of ABR Loans (provided that ABR Loans may be prepaid on the same Business Day if notice is
32
received by the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time), which
notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and Type of the Loans being prepaid, as
applicable; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to
Section 2.18. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be
due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans
that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of
Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof. Partial optional prepayments of the Loans shall be ratable as among the Lenders
thereof.
(b) All voluntary prepayments of Term Loans effected on or prior to the first anniversary of
the Closing Date with the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance of loans under any
secured credit facilities (excluding a refinancing of the Facilities in connection with another
transaction not permitted by this Agreement (as determined prior to giving effect to any amendment
or waiver of this Agreement being adopted in connection with such transaction), provided that the
primary purpose of such transaction is not to refinance Indebtedness hereunder at an Applicable
Margin or similar interest rate spread more favorable to the Borrower), shall be accompanied by a
prepayment fee of 1.00% of the aggregate amount of such prepayments if the Applicable Margin or
similar interest rate spread applicable to such new loans is or, upon the satisfaction of certain
conditions, would be less than the Applicable Margin applicable to the Term Loans, as of the date
hereof. Such prepayment fee shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Term Lenders, on the date of such prepayment.
2.9. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If any Capital Stock or Indebtedness shall be issued or incurred by any Group Member
(excluding any Excluded Issuance and any Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.2(a) through (s)) an
amount equal to the Equity Sweep Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds in the case of Capital Stock
and 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds in the case of Indebtedness shall be applied by the Borrower on
the date of receipt thereof by such Group Member toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set
forth in Section 2.9(e).
(b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or
Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall have been timely delivered in respect
thereof, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied by or on behalf of the
Borrower promptly but no later than the end of the fiscal month following the fiscal month in which
such Net Cash Proceeds are received) toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in
Section 2.9(e); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash
Proceeds of Asset Sales that may be excluded from the foregoing prepayment requirement pursuant to
Reinvestment Notices shall not exceed $150,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower and (ii) on
each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with
respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans
as set forth in Section 2.9(e).
(c) If, for (i) the period from the first anniversary of the Closing Date through the end of
the then current fiscal year of the Borrower or (ii) any fiscal year of the Borrower thereafter,
there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application
Date, apply the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as
set forth in Section 2.9(e). Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an Excess Cash Flow
Application Date) no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the
financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with
respect to which such prepayment is made,
33
are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are
actually delivered.
(d) Following the establishment of any Receivable Financing Transaction by the Borrower or any
of its Domestic Subsidiaries, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be
promptly applied by or on behalf of the Borrower toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set
forth in Section 2.9(e).
(e) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.9
shall be made ratably among the Lenders of the Term Loans. The application of any prepayment made
pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to
Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Term Loans under Section 2.9 shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and, if a Eurodollar Loan is
prepaid on any day other the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall
also pay amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18.
2.10. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date. The Borrower may
elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent
prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the
third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of
the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar
Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or
the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such
conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof.
(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term Interest Period
set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans,
provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when
any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the
Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole
discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the
Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such
continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically
converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any
such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
2.11. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and
continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts
and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar
Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
2.12. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c), each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest
for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
34
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c), each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on and after the date the
Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent stating that interest is to accrue pursuant
to this paragraph (c) or following acceleration of payment of the Loans, all outstanding Loans,
Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations under the Loan Documents (whether or not overdue at
such time) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of the Loans, the rate
that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
plus 2% or and (ii) in the case of any other Obligation, the rate then applicable to ABR
Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of
such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest
accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of
interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be
calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days
elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the
relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a
Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of
the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be presumptively correct and binding on the Borrower and the
Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the
Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative
Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.12(a).
2.14. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall
be presumptively correct and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of
circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority
Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate
determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders)
of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the
relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar
Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period
shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been
converted on the first day of such
35
Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be continued as ABR Loans and
(z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current
Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent
(which the Administrative Agent shall do promptly after the circumstances giving rise to such event
no longer exist), no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or
continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant
Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
2.15. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment by the Borrower on account of any
fee payable to Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Outstanding Term Loan
Percentages, Closing Date Percentages, Delayed Draw Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as
applicable, of the relevant Lenders entitled thereto.
(b) (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by the
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro
rata according to the respective Outstanding Term Loan Percentages of the Term Lenders
entitled thereto. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to
reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans (i) as directed by the Borrower in the
case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.8 and (ii) ratably based upon the respective then
remaining principal amounts thereof in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.9.
Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(ii) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal
of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each
relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other
than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar
Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend
such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal
pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable
rate during such extension.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to
a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the date of
borrowing therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under
36
this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lenders share
of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three
Business Days after such date of borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to
recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable thereto, within three
Business Days after demand therefor from the Borrower.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior
to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata
shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to
the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.15(d), 2.15(e), 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received
by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender for the account of such Lender to satisfy such
Lenders obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
2.16. Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case, made
subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for
Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.17 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
income of such Lender);
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for
the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination
of the Eurodollar Rate; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that
such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining
Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay
such Lender, within 30 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor, any additional
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall
promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of
which it has become so entitled.
37
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each
case, made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lenders or such corporations capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under
or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation
could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lenders or such corporations policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably
deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to
the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
corporation for such reduction.
(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by
any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct
in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts
incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such
Lenders intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances
giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended
to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
2.17. Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, addition to tax or penalties applicable
thereto), excluding income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and
taxes imposed on or measured by the Administrative Agents or any Lenders net profits if such tax
is imposed as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such
Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely
from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its
obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document).
If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings
(Non-Excluded Taxes) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the amounts so
payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other
Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts
specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase
any such amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded
Taxes (i) that are attributable to the Administrative Agents or such Lenders failure to comply
with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States
withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender at the time
the Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent
that the Administrative Agents or such Lenders assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of
assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes
pursuant to this paragraph (a).
38
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, as promptly
as reasonably possible thereafter such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its
own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, (i) a certified copy of
an original official receipt received by such Loan Party showing payment thereof or (ii) if such
Loan Party reasonably determines that it is unable to provide a certified copy of such receipt, a
certificate as to the amount of such payment. If the relevant Loan Party fails to pay any
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to
the Administrative Agent copies of the required receipts or other required documentary evidence,
such Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result
of any such failure.
(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a United States Person as defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code (a Non U.S. Lender) shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Administrative Agent and the Lender
from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (accompanied by applicable
underlying IRS forms), or, in the case of a Non U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of portfolio
interest, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and two copies of the applicable Form
W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case properly completed and
duly executed by such Non U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S.
federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes
a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such
Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non U.S. Lender shall deliver
such forms promptly upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Non U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any
previously delivered certificate to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or any other form of
certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this paragraph, a Non U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant
to this paragraph that such Non U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower (or the Administrative Agent), such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to
complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lenders reasonable judgment such
completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the commercial or legal position
of such Lender.
(f) Any Lender that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code
shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a duly completed and signed
IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that the Lender is organized under the laws of the
United States and is not subject to backup withholding.
39
(g) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion (exercised in
good faith), that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section 2.17 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net
of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);
within 45 Business Days of the determination that the Borrower is entitled to such refund
provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the
event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or to any other Person.
(h) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by
the Administrative Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(i) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.18. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from,
any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the
Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the
Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
(other than by operation of Section 2.14), (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of
or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a
day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may
include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from
the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of
such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest
Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate
of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included
therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that
would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts
payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be presumptively
correct in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.19. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 2.16 or 2.17(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another
lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of
such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the
40
sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a).
2.20. Incremental Facility. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the
Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of
the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches of term loans, revolving facilities or letter
of credit facilities (each, an Incremental Facility), provided that (i) at the
time and after the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower shall be in compliance
with the covenants contained in Section 7.1 determined on a pro forma basis as of the last day of
the most recent period of the Borrower for which financial statements are available as if any term
loans under such Incremental Facility had been outstanding and any revolving commitment under such
Incremental Facility (to the extent not available to issue letters of credit) had been fully used
on the last day of such period and (iii) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio determined on a pro forma
basis as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial
statements are available, determined as if any term loans under such Incremental Facility had been
outstanding on the last day of such period, shall be less than 2.5 to 1.0. Each Incremental
Facility shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000
(provided that such amount may be less than $50,000,000 if such amount represents all
remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence) and there shall be not more
than 3 requests for Incremental Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
aggregate amount of the Incremental Facilities (including the Incremental Revolving Facility) shall
not exceed $200,000,000. Any Incremental Facility (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment
and of security with the Loans, (b) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date or have a
weighted average life (if applicable) which is shorter than the then remaining average life of the
Loans, and (c) shall otherwise be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the
Borrower and the Persons willing to provide such Incremental Facility, provided that (A) to
the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Facilities (other than with
respect to pricing, amortization and maturity) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and (B) if the Applicable Margin (which term for purposes of this Section 2.20
shall include any original issue discount (OID) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to
constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the lenders under any applicable
Facility (which, for any Incremental Facility consisting of a term loan facility shall be the Term
Facility and for any Incremental Facility consisting of a revolving loan facility shall be the
Incremental Revolving Facility) or the Incremental Facility, as applicable, in the primary
syndication thereof (with OID being equated to interest based on assumed three-year life to
maturity)) relating to any Incremental Facility exceeds the Applicable Margin relating to the
applicable Facility immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Amendment,
the Applicable Margin relating to such Facility shall be adjusted to equal the Applicable Margin
relating to such Incremental Facility. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20
shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Facility and
the Lenders or other Persons willing to provide the Incremental Facility. The Incremental Facility
may be provided by any existing Lender or by any Eligible Assignee selected by the Borrower (any
such other financial institution or fund being called an Additional Lender),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably
withheld) to such Lenders or Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Facility if such
consent would be required under Section 10.6 for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or
Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Facilities shall become Commitments under
this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an Incremental Amendment) to this Agreement and,
as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide
such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.1(e) hereof. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the
41
reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of
this Section 2.20. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the
satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an Incremental Facility Closing Date) of each of
the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (it being understood that all references to the Delayed
Draw Funding Date or similar language in such Section 5.2 shall be deemed to refer to the effective
date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.
The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Facilities for any purpose not prohibited by
this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Facility, unless it so
agrees. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata
borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply
to the transactions effected pursuant to this paragraph.
2.21. Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and hereby approves and agrees to be bound
by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in
the case of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. The Lenders acknowledge that the Second Lien Term Loans and
related obligations are secured by the Collateral, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.
2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such
Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(d);
(b) the Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be
included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any
action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.1),
provided that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all
Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other
affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment
or modification increasing the amount or extending the expiration date of such Defaulting Lenders
Commitment, reducing the stated rate of any interest payable hereunder to such Defaulting Lender or
extending the scheduled date of any payment thereof to such Defaulting Lender that would, absent
this Section 2.22(b), require the consent of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.1 shall
require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(c) if any L/C Obligations exists at the time a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender
then:
(i) all or any part of such L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the
non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to
the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders Revolving Extensions of Credit plus
such Defaulting Lenders L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting
Lenders Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.4 are satisfied
at such time;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the
Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lenders L/C Obligations (after
giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with
the procedures set forth the last paragraph of Section 8 for so long as such L/C Obligations
are outstanding;
42
(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lenders L/C
Obligations pursuant to Section 2.22(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees
to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lenders
L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lenders L/C Obligations are cash
collateralized;
(iv) if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to
Section 2.22(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.6(d) and Section
3.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders Revolving Percentages;
and
(v) if any Defaulting Lenders L/C Obligations are neither cash collateralized nor
reallocated pursuant to Section 2.22(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies
of the Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have
been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such
Defaulting Lenders Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and letter of
credit fees payable under Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lenders L/C
Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until such L/C Obligations are cash
collateralized and/or reallocated;
(d) so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be
required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related
exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or
cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.22(c), and
participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated
among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders
shall not participate therein); and
(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 but excluding Section 10.1(c)) shall, in lieu of being
distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated
account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may
be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by
such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the payment
of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder, (iii)
third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuing Bank, held
in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in
respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Letter of Credit, (iv)
fourth, to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting
Lender in respect of any Revolving Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment
of any amounts owing to the Lenders or an Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii)
seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii)
eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, provided, with respect to this clause (viii), that if such payment is (x) a
prepayment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or Reimbursement Obligation in respect of
which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 5.4 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay
the Revolving Loans of, and Reimbursement
43
Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the
prepayment of any Revolving Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Lender each agrees
that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a
Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the
inclusion of such Lenders Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of
the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in
order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.
SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the
agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of
credit (Letters of Credit) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the
Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing
Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the Dollar
Equivalent of the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving
Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or
another freely-convertible currency acceptable to the Issuing Lender and (ii) expire no later than
the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) (1) the date that is five
Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date or (2) the date that is one year after the
Revolving Termination Date, provided that no later than the 60th day prior to the
Revolving Termination Date (or for any Letters of Credit issued after such date, the date of
issuance), the Borrower shall deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to 103% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of
Credit; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal
thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to
in clause (y) above).
(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if
such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any
limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit
by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application
therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates,
documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any
Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and
other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its
customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no
event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three
Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates,
documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter
of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the
Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower
promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the
Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance
of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.3. Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate
equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to
44
Eurodollar Loans under the Incremental Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving
Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.25%
per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in
arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender
for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender
in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit.
3.4. L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C
Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant
irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender,
on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participants own account and risk an
undivided interest equal to such L/C Participants Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lenders
obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft
paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that,
if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in
full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any
reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time),
such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lenders address
for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participants Revolving Percentage of the
amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C Participants obligation to pay
such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C
Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure
to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal
to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during
the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is
the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such
amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available
to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such
payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum
applicable to ABR Loans under the Incremental Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing
Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with
Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether
directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the
45
Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will
distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however,
that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be
returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion
thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing
Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or
expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft, if
such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i)
above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives
such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices
referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any
such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate
set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section
2.12(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.12(c).
3.6. Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under
any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that
the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit
or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender
shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall
not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any
endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or
forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or
any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the
Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing
Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch
or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit,
except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing
Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in
any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.
3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender
shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the
Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter
of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of
Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such
Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such
Letter of Credit.
3.8. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
3.9. Cash Collateralization. If on any date the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations exceeds the L/C Commitment,
then the Borrower shall within three Business Days after
46
notice thereof from the Administrative Agent deposit in a cash collateral account opened by
the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
3.10. Currency Adjustments.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of
calculating any fee in respect of any Letter of Credit in respect of any Business Day, the
Administrative Agent shall convert the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit
denominated in a currency other than Dollars into an amount of Dollars based upon the Exchange
Rate.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, prior to demanding
any reimbursement from the L/C Participants pursuant to subsection 3.4 in respect of any Letter of
Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the Issuing Lender shall convert the
Borrowers obligation under subsection 3.4 to reimburse the Issuing Lender in such currency into an
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender in Dollars. The Dollar amount of the reimbursement
obligation of the Borrower and the L/C Participants shall be computed by the Issuing Lender based
upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such conversion occurs.
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and the Lenders to make the
Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, each Loan Party hereby jointly and
severally represents and warrants to the Agents and each Lender that:
4.1. No Change. Since the Petition Date, there has been no development or event that has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being agreed that solely for purposes
of this Section 4.1 no change in automotive industry conditions or in banking, financial or capital
markets on and after such date which does not disproportionately adversely affect the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall have a Material Adverse Effect)..
4.2. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to
own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the
business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other
organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in
compliance with all Requirements of Law.
4.3. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Confirmation Order, each Loan Party has the power
and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is
a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan
Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to
authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or
authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental
Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or
with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of
the Loan Documents except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule
4.3, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices (other than the Confirmation Order) have
been
47
obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section
4.20. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party
thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute,
a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each
such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law).
4.4. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will
not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party and will not
result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties
or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the
Liens created by the Loan Documents and the Second Lien Term Loans).
4.5. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against any Loan Party
or against any of their respective properties or revenues (including with respect to the Loan
Documents) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6. No Default. No Loan Party is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in
any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
4.7. Ownership of Property; Liens. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan
Party has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold, subleasehold, license or other interest
in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other
property, and none of such property, except for minor encumbrances and defects in title that do not
materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize
such properties and assets for their intended purposes is subject to any Lien except as permitted
by Section 7.3.
4.8. Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the
conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending
by any Person against any Loan Party challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual
Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property of any Loan Party, nor does
the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no use
by each Loan Party of any of its material Intellectual Property infringes on the rights of any
Person in any material respect.
4.9. Taxes. Each Loan Party has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and material state and other
material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and
payable on said returns or on any material assessments made against it or any of its property and
all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any

misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,

sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Agents. The Agents and their Related Parties may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof
shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Agents and their Related Parties shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if
so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by
this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Agents and their Related Parties shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan
78
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the
Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender
or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a notice of default. In the event that an Agent receives such a
notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents shall take such action
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required
Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of
Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Agents shall have received
such directions, the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as they shall deem advisable
in the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges
that neither the Agents nor any of their Related Parties have made any representations or
warranties to it and that no act by the any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the
affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that
it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation
into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Agents hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property,
condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any
affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Agents or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its Related
Parties (each, an Agent Indemnitee) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate
Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section
(or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated
and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure
Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
(including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) whatsoever that may at any time (whether before
or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent
Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
79
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that
are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Agent Indemnitees gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans
to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though
such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall
have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and
may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms Lender and Lenders shall
include each Agent in its individual capacity.
9.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 10 days notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative
Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then
the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders,
whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent, and the term Administrative Agent shall mean such successor agent effective upon such
appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agents rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the
Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is
10 days following a retiring Administrative Agents notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agents resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders
shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any
retiring Administrative Agents resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section
9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit. The Administrative Agent may in its
discretion resign as Collateral Agent at any time it resigns as Administrative Agent.
9.10. Execution of Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the
Agents, on behalf of the Lenders, to execute and deliver to the Loan Parties the other Loan
Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary
or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that any action
taken by the Agents or the Required Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by
this Agreement) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the
exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified
by this Agreement) of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other
powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
9.11. Collateral Agent. (a) The provisions of Section 9 that apply to the
Administrative Agent shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Collateral Agent and to any successor
Collateral Agent, as applicable; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor to itself as Collateral Agent and
without the consent of any Lender.
(b) The Collateral Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of
any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with
respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a
perfected security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan
Documents. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for
moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Collateral
Agent shall not have
80
any duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, trades or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or
not the Collateral Agent is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral (including the filing of UCC Financing and Continuation Statements). The Collateral
Agent shall be deemed to have exercised appropriate and due care in the custody and preservation of
any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which other collateral agents accord similar property.
(c) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as an agent
under the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be entitled to all right, privileges, protections,
immunities, benefits and indemnities provided to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.
SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may
be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1.
The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the
written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the
relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or
modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or

Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument,

supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled
date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any principal amortization payment in
respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except

adversely affected Facility), (y) in connection with the waiver or extension of any mandatory
prepayment hereunder, and (z) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the
financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or

the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting

under such Facility; or (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the written
consent of the Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification

Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and
rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any
81

waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right
consequent thereon.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may amend or supplement the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents without the consent of any Lender or the
Required Lenders (but with the consent of the Borrower to the extent required under the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency
in the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents.
(c) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that requests any payment under

the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (iv) the replacement financial institution
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be
obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6
(provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing and recordation fee
referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights
that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced
Lender.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (x) with the written consent
of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term

latest final maturity of any Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing and (y) with the

Loans, (iii) the Replacement Revolving Facility shall be fully drawn on the closing date thereof
and the proceeds of the Replacement Revolving Facility shall be used to repay the outstanding
Refinanced Term Loans, and (iv) the Replacement Revolving Facility shall be on terms and pursuant
to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Persons willing to provide such
Replacement Revolving Facility, provided that (A) to the extent such terms and documentation are
not consistent with the Term Facility (other than with respect to pricing) they shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (B) if the Applicable Margin (which term for purposes
of this Section 10.1(d) shall include any upfront
82
fees payable by the Borrower to the lenders under the Term Facility or the Replacement
Revolving Facility, as applicable, in the primary syndication thereof (with such upfront fees being
equated to interest based on assumed three-year life to maturity)) relating to any Replacement

the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.
10.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any

out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and
execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, the other Loan

Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and
agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of
recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages,

may be
hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The
agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.
10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section and (iii) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates.
85
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below and subject to
paragraph (a)(iii) above, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an
Assignee) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be
required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenders
Commitments, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000
(or, in the case of the Incremental Revolving Facility, $5,000,000) unless the
Administrative Agent otherwise consents;
(B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500
and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the
Administrative Agent; and
(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit
contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their
respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in
accordance with the assignees compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal
and state securities laws.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in
the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lenders rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale
by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with and to
the extent permitted by paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Register). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender
and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
86
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignees completed administrative questionnaire
(unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a Participant) in all or a portion
of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lenders obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the
proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject
to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it
were a Lender.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrowers prior written consent. Any Participant that
is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless such
Participant complies with Section 2.17(d).
(iii) In the event that any Lender sells a participation in a Loan, such Lender shall,
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it
enters the name and address of all participants in the Loans held by it and the principal
amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Loan which is the subject of the
participation (the Participation Register). A Loan may be participated in whole
or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participation Register. Any
transfer of such participation may be effected only by the Registration of such transfer on
the Participation Register. The entries in the Participation Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error and such Lender shall treat such participants whose name is recorded
in the Participation Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Participation Register shall be
available for inspection by the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time upon reasonable
prior notice.
87
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue
Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph
(d) above.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it
may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b) (but with
regard to the requirements set forth in Section 10.6(b)(iv)). Each of the Borrower, each Lender
and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or
join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for
one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued
by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender
hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost,
damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit
Lender during such period of forbearance.
10.7. Adjustments; Set off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order
expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders (including
assignments made pursuant to Section 10.6), if any Lender (a Benefited Lender) shall, at any time
after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable
pursuant to Section 8, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or
receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, or
otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other
Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender
shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the
Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits
of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if
all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited
Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower or the Guarantors, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower and the Guarantors to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon
any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower or the Guarantors hereunder (whether at
the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against
such Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but
not any trust or fiduciary account), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured
or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower or the Guarantors, as the case may be. Each Lender
agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and
application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.
88
10.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any
number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to

shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Lear Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lear Corporation and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2009 (Successor) and December 31, 2008 (Predecessor), and the related
consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for the period from November 8, 2009
to December 31, 2009 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2009 to November 7, 2009, and the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (Predecessor). Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule included in Item 8. These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Lear Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2009 (Successor) and December 31, 2008 (Predecessor), and the consolidated results of
their operations and cash flows for the period from November 8, 2009 to December 31, 2009
(Successor), the period from January 1, 2009 to November 7, 2009, and the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007 (Predecessor), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 5, 2009, the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order confirming the Plan
of Reorganization, which became effective on November 9, 2009. Accordingly, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with FASB Accounting Standards
CodificationTM 852, Reorganizations, for the Successor as a new entity with assets,
liabilities and a capital structure having carrying values that are not comparable to prior
periods.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2009, the Predecessor changed
its method of accounting for and presentation of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to
Lear and noncontrolling interests.
As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2008, the Predecessor changed
its method of accounting for pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), Lear Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 26,
2010, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries

|
Basis of
Presentation
|
Lear Corporation (Lear) and its affiliates design
and manufacture complete automotive seat systems and related
components, as well as electrical power management systems.
Through the first quarter of 2007, Lear also supplied automotive
interior systems and components, including instrument panels and
cockpit systems, headliners and overhead systems, door panels
and flooring and acoustic systems (Note 6,
Divestiture of Interior Business). Lears main
customers are automotive original equipment manufacturers. Lear
operates facilities worldwide (Note 16, Segment
Reporting).
On November 9, 2009, Lear and certain of its U.S. and
Canadian subsidiaries emerged from bankruptcy proceedings under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the
Bankruptcy Code) (Chapter 11). In
accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards
Codificationtm
(ASC) 852, Reorganizations, Lear adopted
fresh-start accounting upon its emergence from Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings and became a new entity for financial
reporting purposes as of November 7, 2009. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements for the reporting entity
subsequent to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings (the Successor) are not comparable to
the consolidated financial statements for the reporting entity
prior to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings
(the Predecessor).
In addition, ASC 852 requires that financial statements, for
periods including and subsequent to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy
filing, distinguish between transactions and events that are
directly associated with the reorganization proceedings and the
ongoing operations of the business, as well as additional
disclosures. Effective July 7, 2009, expenses, gains and
losses directly associated with the reorganization proceedings
are reported as reorganization items and fresh-start accounting
adjustments, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of
operations for the ten month period ended November 7, 2009.
In addition, liabilities subject to compromise in the
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings are distinguished from
liabilities not subject to compromise and from post-petition
liabilities. Liabilities subject to compromise were reported at
amounts allowed or expected to be allowed under the
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. For the period from
July 7, 2009 through November 7, 2009, contractual
interest expense related to liabilities subject to compromise of
$69.7 million was not recorded as it was not an allowed
claim under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The
Company, when used in reference to the period
subsequent to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings, refers to the Successor, and when used in reference
to periods prior to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings, refers to the Predecessor. In addition, results for
the two month period ended December 31, 2009, are referred
to as the 2009 Successor Period, and results for the
ten month period ended November 7, 2009, are referred as
the 2009 Predecessor Period. For further information
regarding the Companys filing under and emergence from
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and the adoption of
fresh-start accounting, see Note 2, Reorganization
under Chapter 11, and Note 3, Fresh-Start
Accounting.
The accompanying Successor and Predecessor consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Lear, a Delaware
corporation and the wholly owned and less than wholly owned
subsidiaries controlled by Lear. In addition, variable interest
entities in which Lear bears a majority of the risk of the
entities potential losses or stands to gain from a
majority of the entities expected returns are
consolidated. Investments in affiliates in which Lear does not
have control, but does have the ability to exercise significant
influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted
for under the equity method (Note 8, Investments in
Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions).
Noncontrolling
Interests
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of
ASC
810-10-45,
Noncontrolling Interest in a Subsidiary. This
guidance requires the reporting of all noncontrolling interests
as a separate component of equity (deficit), the reporting of
consolidated net income (loss) as the amount attributable to
both Lear and noncontrolling interests and the separate
disclosure of net income (loss) attributable to Lear and net
income
8
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. In addition,
this guidance provides accounting and reporting requirements
related to changes in noncontrolling ownership interests.
The reporting and disclosure requirements discussed above are
required to be applied retrospectively. As such, all prior
periods presented have been restated to conform to current
presentation and reporting requirements. In the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008,
$48.8 million of noncontrolling interests were reclassified
from other long-term liabilities to equity. In the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, $25.5 million and
$25.6 million, respectively, of net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests was reclassified from minority
interests in consolidated subsidiaries. In the accompanying
consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, $19.4 million and
$20.6 million, respectively, of dividends paid to
noncontrolling interests were reclassified from cash flows from
operating activities to cash flows from financing activities.

Reorganization
under Chapter 11
|
In 2009, the Company completed a comprehensive evaluation of its
strategic and financial options and concluded that voluntarily
filing for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 was
necessary in order to re-align the Companys capital
structure to address lower industry production and capital
market conditions and position the Companys business for
long-term success. On July 7, 2009, Lear Corporation and
certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries (the
Canadian Debtors and collectively, the
Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
Bankruptcy Court) (Consolidated Case
No. 09-14326).
On July 9, 2009, the Canadian Debtors also filed petitions
for protection under section 18.6 of the Companies
Creditors Arrangement Act in the Ontario Superior Court,
Commercial List (the Canadian Court). Lears
remaining subsidiaries, consisting primarily of
non-U.S. and
non-Canadian subsidiaries, were not subject to the requirements
of the Bankruptcy Code. On September 12, 2009, the Debtors
filed with the Bankruptcy Court their First Amended Joint Plan
of Reorganization (as amended and supplemented, the
Plan or Plan of Reorganization) and
their Disclosure Statement (as amended and supplemented, the
Disclosure Statement). On November 5, 2009, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the
Plan (the Confirmation Order), and on
November 6, 2009, the Canadian Court entered an order
recognizing the Confirmation Order and giving full force and
effect to the Confirmation Order and Plan under applicable
Canadian law.
On November 9, 2009 (the Effective Date), the
Debtors consummated the reorganization contemplated by the Plan
and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
Post-Emergence
Capital Structure and Recent Events
Following the Effective Date and after giving effect to the
Excess Cash Paydown (as described below), the Companys
capital structure consists of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
First Lien Facility A first lien credit
facility of $375 million (the First Lien
Facility).
|
|
|
|
Second Lien Facility A second lien credit
facility of $550 million (the Second Lien
Facility).
|
|
|
|
Series A Preferred Stock
$450 million, or 10,896,250 shares, of
Series A convertible participating preferred stock (the
Series A Preferred Stock).
|
|
|
|
Common Stock and Warrants A single class of
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common
Stock), including sufficient shares to provide for
(i) management equity grants, (ii) the conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock and
(iii) warrants to purchase 15%, or 8,157,249 shares,
of the Companys Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis
(the Warrants).

For more detailed information regarding the Companys
capital structure, see Part I Item I,
Business Business of the Company
General Post-Emergence Capital Structure and Recent
Events. For further information regarding the First Lien
Facility and the Second Lien Facility, see Note 10,
Long-Term Debt. For further information regarding
the Series A Preferred Stock, the Common Stock and the
Warrants, see Note 13, Capital Stock.
Pursuant to the Plan, to the extent that the Company had
liquidity on the Effective Date in excess of $1.0 billion,
subject to certain working capital and other adjustments and
accruals, the amount of such excess would be utilized
(i) first, to prepay the Series A Preferred Stock in
an aggregate stated value of up to $50 million;
(ii) second, to prepay the Second Lien Facility in an
aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million; and
(iii) third, to reduce the First Lien Facility (such
prepayments and reductions, the Excess Cash Paydown).
On November 27, 2009, the Company determined its liquidity
on the Effective Date, for purposes of the Excess Cash Paydown,
which consisted of approximately $1.5 billion in cash and
cash equivalents. After giving effect to certain working capital
and other adjustments and accruals, the resulting aggregate
Excess Cash Paydown was approximately $225 million. The
Excess Cash Paydown was applied, in accordance with the Plan,
(i) first, to prepay the Series A Preferred Stock in
an aggregate stated value of $50 million; (ii) second,
to prepay the Second Lien Facility in an aggregate principal
amount of $50 million; and (iii) third, to reduce the
First Lien Facility by an aggregate principal amount of
approximately $125 million.
On November 27, 2009, the Company elected to make the
delayed draw provided for under the First Lien Facility in the
amount of $175 million. Following such delayed draw
funding, and when combined with the Companys initial draw
under the First Lien Facility of $200 million on the
Effective Date and after giving effect to the Excess Cash
Paydown, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the
First Lien Facility was $375 million. The application of
the Excess Cash Paydown and the delayed draw under the First
Lien Facility are reflected above in the information setting
forth the Companys capital structure following the
Effective Date.
Satisfaction
of DIP Agreement
On July 6, 2009, the Debtors entered into a credit and
guarantee agreement by and among Lear, as borrower, the
guarantors party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the
DIP Agreement), as further described in
Note 10, Long-Term Debt. The DIP Agreement
provided for new money
debtor-in-possession
financing comprised of a term loan in the aggregate principal
amount of $500 million. On August 4, 2009, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the DIP Agreement,
and the Debtors subsequently received proceeds of
$500 million, net of related fees and expenses of
approximately $36.7 million, related to available
debtor-in-possession
financing. On the Effective Date, amounts outstanding under the
DIP Agreement were repaid, using proceeds of the First Lien
Facility and available cash.
For further information regarding the DIP Agreement, see
Note 10, Long-Term Debt.
Cancellation
of Certain Pre-Petition Obligations
Under the Plan, the Companys pre-petition equity, debt and
certain of its other obligations were cancelled and
extinguished, as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
The Predecessor common stock was extinguished, and no
distributions were made to the Predecessors former
shareholders;
|
10
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to

|
|
|
|
|
The Predecessors pre-petition debt securities were
cancelled, and the indentures governing such debt securities
were terminated (other than for the purposes of allowing holders
of the notes to receive distributions under the Plan and
allowing the trustees to exercise certain rights); and
|
|
|
|
The Predecessors pre-petition primary credit facility was
cancelled (other than for the purposes of allowing creditors
under that facility to receive distributions under the Plan and
allowing the administrative agent to exercise certain rights).
|
For further information regarding the resolution of certain of
the Companys other pre-petition liabilities in accordance
with the Plan, see Note 3, Fresh-Start
Accounting Liabilities Subject to Compromise,
and Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies.

|
Fresh-Start
Accounting
|
As discussed in Note 2, Reorganization under
Chapter 11, the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings on November 9, 2009. As a result,
the Successor adopted fresh-start accounting as (i) the
reorganization value of the Predecessors assets
immediately prior to the confirmation of the Plan was less than
the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims
and (ii) the holders of the Predecessors existing
voting shares immediately prior to the confirmation of the Plan
received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging
entity. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP) require the adoption of fresh-start
accounting as of the Plan confirmation date, or as of a later
date when all material conditions precedent to the Plans
becoming effective are resolved, which occurred on
November 9, 2009. The Company elected to adopt fresh-start
accounting as of November 7, 2009, to coincide with the
timing of its normal October accounting period close. Other than
transactions specifically contemplated by the Plan, which have
been reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the
2009 Predecessor Period, there were no transactions that
occurred from November 8, 2009 through November 9,
2009, that would materially impact the Companys
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows for the 2009 Successor or 2009 Predecessor Periods.
Reorganization
Value
The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan that included a
distributable value (or reorganization value) of
$3,054 million as set forth in the Disclosure Statement.
For purposes of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, the
Company and certain secured and unsecured creditors agreed upon
this value as of the bankruptcy filing date. This reorganization
value was determined to be a fair and reasonable value and is
within the range of values considered by the Bankruptcy Court as
part of the confirmation process. The reorganization value
reflects a number of factors and assumptions, including the
Companys statements of operations and balance sheets, the
Companys financial projections, the amount of cash
available to fund operations, current market conditions and a
return to more normalized light vehicle production and sales
volumes. The range of values considered by the Bankruptcy Court
of $2.9 billion to $3.4 billion was determined using
comparable public company trading multiples and discounted cash
flow valuation methodologies.
The comparable public company analysis indentified a group of
comparable companies giving consideration to lines of business,
size, geographic footprint and customer base. The analysis
compared the public market implied enterprise value for each
comparable public company to its projected earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA). The calculated range of multiples for the
comparable companies was used to estimate a range which was
applied to the Companys projected EBITDA to determine a
range of enterprise values for the reorganized company or the
reorganization value.
The discounted cash flow analysis was based on the
Companys projected financial information which includes a
variety of estimates and assumptions. While the Company
considers such estimates and assumptions reasonable, they are
inherently subject to uncertainties and to a wide variety of
significant business, economic
11
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
and competitive risks, many of which are beyond the
Companys control and may not materialize. Changes in these
estimates and assumptions may have had a significant effect on
the determination of the Companys reorganization value.
The discounted cash flow analysis was based on recent automotive
industry and specific platform production volume projections
developed by both third-party and internal forecasts, as well as
commercial, wage and benefit, inflation and discount rate
assumptions. Other significant assumptions include terminal
value growth rate, terminal value margin rate, future capital
expenditures and changes in working capital requirements.
Adoption
of Fresh-start Accounting
Fresh-start accounting results in a new basis of accounting and
reflects the allocation of the Companys estimated fair
value to its underlying assets and liabilities. The
Companys estimates of fair value are inherently subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond the
Companys reasonable control. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the estimates, assumptions, valuations,
appraisals and financial projections will be realized, and
actual results could vary materially. If additional information
becomes available related to the estimates used in determining
the fair values, including those used in determining the fair
values of long-lived assets, liabilities and income taxes, such
information could impact the allocations of fair value included
in the Successors balance sheet as of November 7,
2009.
The Companys reorganization value was allocated to its
assets in conformity with the procedures specified by ASC 805,
Business Combinations. The excess of reorganization
value over the fair value of tangible and identifiable
intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Liabilities existing
as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes, were
recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be paid
using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes
were determined in conformity with applicable income tax
accounting standards. Predecessor accumulated depreciation,
accumulated amortization, retained deficit, common stock and
accumulated other comprehensive loss were eliminated.

appropriate. |
|
(j) |
|
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates and noncontrolling
interests These amounts adjust investments in
non-consolidated affiliates and noncontrolling interests to
their estimated fair values. Estimated fair values were based on
internal and external valuations using customary valuation
methodologies, including comparable earnings multiples,
discounted cash flows and negotiated transaction values. |
|
(k) |
|
Tax benefit This amount reflects the tax benefits
related to the write-off of goodwill and other comprehensive
loss, partially offset by the tax expense related to the
intangible asset and property, plant and equipment fair value
adjustments. |
Liabilities
Subject to Compromise
Certain pre-petition liabilities were subject to compromise or
other treatment under the Plan and were reported at amounts
allowed or expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.
Certain of these claims were resolved and satisfied as of the
Effective Date, while others have been or will be resolved in
periods subsequent to emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings. Although the allowed amount of certain disputed
claims has not yet been determined, our liability associated
with these disputed claims was discharged upon our emergence
from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Future dispositions
with respect to certain allowed Class 5A claims will be
satisfied out of a common stock and warrant reserve established
for that purpose. Accordingly, the future resolution of these
disputed claims will not have an impact on our post-emergence
financial condition or results of operations. To the extent that
disputed claims are settled for less than current estimates,
additional distributions will be made from amounts remaining in
the common stock and warrant reserve to holders of allowed
Class 5A claims pursuant to the Plan. A summary of
liabilities subject to compromise reflected in the Predecessor
consolidated balance sheet as of November 7, 2009, is shown

worlds major automotive manufacturers. The Company records
accounts receivable reserves for known collectibility issues, as
such issues relate to specific transactions or customer
balances. As of December 31, 2009, there were no accounts
receivable reserves outstanding, primarily as a result of the

costs. The Company records inventory reserves for inventory in
excess of production
and/or
forecasted requirements and for obsolete inventory in production
and service inventories. As of December 31, 2009, there

Property,
Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost; however, as a
result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting, property,
plant and equipment was re-measured at estimated fair value as
of November 7, 2009 (see Note 3, Fresh-Start
Accounting). Depreciable property is depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, using principally the
straight-line method as follows:

for the 2009 Successor Period, the 2009 Predecessor Period and
the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Costs associated with the repair and maintenance of the
Companys property, plant and equipment are expensed as
incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the
life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency or safety
of the Companys property, plant and equipment are
capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the
related asset.
Impairment
of Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at
least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often
than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an
impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In
conducting its impairment testing, the Company compares the fair
value of each of its reporting units to the related net book
value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its
fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The
Company conducts its annual impairment testing as of the first
day of the fourth quarter.
The Company utilizes an income approach to estimate the fair
value of each of its reporting units. The income approach is
based on projected debt-free cash flow which is discounted to
the present value using discount factors that consider the
timing and risk of cash flows. The Company believes that this
approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value
estimate based upon the reporting units expected long-term
operating cash flow performance. This approach also mitigates
the impact of cyclical trends that occur in the industry. Fair
value is estimated using recent automotive industry and specific
platform production volume projections, which are based on both
third-party and internally developed forecasts, as well as
commercial, wage and benefit, inflation and discount rate
assumptions. The discount rate used is the value-weighted
average of the Companys estimated cost of equity and of
debt (cost of capital) derived using, both known and
estimated, customary market metrics. The Companys weighted
average cost of capital is adjusted by reporting unit to reflect
a risk factor, if necessary, and such risk factors ranged from
zero to 300 basis points for each reporting unit in 2008.
Other significant assumptions include terminal value growth
rates, terminal value margin rates, future capital expenditures
and changes in future working capital requirements. While there
are inherent uncertainties related to the assumptions used and
to managements application of these assumptions to this
analysis, the Company believes that the income approach provides
a reasonable estimate of the fair value of its reporting units.
In the 2009 Predecessor Period, the Companys annual
goodwill impairment analysis, completed as of the first day of
the fourth quarter, was based on the Companys
distributable value, which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court,
and resulted in impairment charges of $319.0 million
related to the electrical power management segment. For further
information on the Companys distributable value, see
Note 3, Fresh-Start Accounting.

Lear

Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The Companys 2008 annual goodwill impairment analysis
indicated a significant decline in the fair value of the
Companys electrical power management segment, as well as
an impairment of the related goodwill. The decline in fair value
resulted from unfavorable operating results, primarily as a
result of the significant decline in estimated industry
production volumes. The Company evaluated the net book value of
goodwill within its electrical power management segment by
comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to the related
net book value. As a result, the Company recorded total goodwill
impairment charges of $530.0 million in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2008.

reportable operating segment, for each of the periods in the two

Intangible
Assets
In connection with the adoption of fresh-start accounting,
certain intangible assets were recorded at their estimated fair
value, which was based on independent appraisals, as of
November 7, 2009. The technology intangible asset includes
the Companys proprietary patents. The value assigned to
technology intangibles is based on the royalty savings method,
which applies a hypothetical royalty rate to projected revenues
attributable to the identified technologies. Royalty rates were
determined based on analysis of market information and
discussions with the Companys management. The
customer-based intangible asset includes the Companys
established relationships with its customers and the ability of
these customers to generate future economic profits for the
Company. The value assigned to customer-based intangibles is
based on the present value of future earnings attributable to
the asset group after recognition of required returns to other
contributory assets. A summary of intangible assets as of

Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The Company monitors its long-lived assets for impairment
indicators on an ongoing basis in accordance with GAAP. If
impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required
impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows
expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the
related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the
undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and
recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference
between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived
assets. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted
cash flow analyses or estimated salvage values. Cash flows are
estimated using internal budgets based on recent sales data,
independent automotive production volume estimates and customer
commitments, as well as assumptions related to discount rates.
Changes in economic or operating conditions impacting these
estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of
long-lived assets.
In the 2009 Predecessor Period and the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized fixed
asset impairment charges of $5.6 million,
$17.5 million and $16.8 million, respectively, in
conjunction with its restructuring actions (Note 7,
Restructuring). As discussed in Note 3,
Fresh-Start Accounting, the Companys
long-lived assets were re-measured at estimated fair value as of
November 7, 2009, in connection with the adoption of
fresh-start accounting.
Fixed asset impairment charges are recorded in cost of sales in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the
2009 Predecessor Period and for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Impairment
of Investments in Affiliates
The Company monitors its investments in affiliates for
indicators of
other-than-temporary
declines in value on an ongoing basis in accordance with GAAP.
If the Company determines that an
other-than-temporary
21
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
decline in value has occurred, it recognizes an impairment loss,
which is measured as the difference between the recorded book
value and the fair value of the investment. Fair value is
generally determined using an income approach based on
discounted cash flows or negotiated transaction values. As
discussed in Note 3, Fresh-Start Accounting,
investments in affiliates were re-measured at estimated fair
value as of November 7, 2009, in connection with the
adoption of fresh-start accounting. For a discussion of
impairment charges recorded in the 2009 Predecessor Period and
the year ended December 31, 2008, see Note 8,
Investments in Affiliates and Other Related Party
Transactions.
Revenue
Recognition and Sales Commitments
The Company enters into agreements with its customers to produce
products at the beginning of a vehicles life cycle.
Although such agreements do not provide for a specified quantity
of products, once the Company enters into such agreements, the
Company is generally required to fulfill its customers
purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle.
These agreements generally may be terminated by the customers at
any time. Historically, terminations of these agreements have
been minimal. In certain instances, the Company may be committed
under existing agreements to supply products to its customers at
selling prices which are not sufficient to cover the direct cost
to produce such products. In such situations, the Company
recognizes losses as they are incurred.
The Company receives purchase orders from its customers on an
annual basis. Generally, each purchase order provides the annual
terms, including pricing, related to a particular vehicle model.
Purchase orders do not specify quantities. The Company
recognizes revenue based on the pricing terms included in its
annual purchase orders as its products are shipped to its
customers. The Company is asked to provide its customers with
annual price reductions as part of certain agreements. The
Company accrues for such amounts as a reduction of revenue as
its products are shipped to its customers. In addition, the
Company has ongoing adjustments to its pricing arrangements with
its customers based on the related content, the cost of its
products and other commercial factors. Such pricing accruals are
adjusted as they are settled with the Companys customers.
Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling
costs are included in net sales in the consolidated statements
of operations. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost
of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cost
of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses
Cost of sales includes material, labor and overhead costs
associated with the manufacture and distribution of the
Companys products. Distribution costs include inbound
freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs,
warehousing costs and other costs of the Companys
distribution network. Selling, general and administrative
expenses include selling, engineering and development and
administrative costs not directly associated with the
manufacture and distribution of the Companys products.
Engineering
and Development
Costs incurred in connection with the development of new
products and manufacturing methods more than one year prior to
launch, to the extent not recoverable from the Companys
customers, are charged to selling, general and administrative
expenses as incurred. These costs amounted to
$11.8 million, $71.6 million, $113.0 million and
$134.6 million for the 2009 Successor Period, the 2009
Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively.

Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance GAAP.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences
between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
In determining the provision for income taxes for financial
statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and
judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of
its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain
tax liabilities. In accordance with GAAP, the Company evaluates
the carrying value of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly
basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all
available evidence. Such evidence includes historical results,
expectations for future pretax operating income, the time period
over which its temporary differences will reverse and the
implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.
Foreign
Currency Translation
With the exception of foreign subsidiaries operating in highly
inflationary economies, which are measured in U.S. dollars,
assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated
into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rates in effect
at the end of the period. Revenues and expenses of foreign
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using an
average of the foreign exchange rates in effect during the
period. Translation adjustments that arise from translating a
foreign subsidiarys financial statements from the
functional currency to the U.S. dollar are reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance
sheets.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from foreign exchange
rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency, except certain long-term
intercompany transactions or those transactions which operate as
a hedge of long-term investments in foreign subsidiaries, are
included in the consolidated statements of operations as
incurred.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company measures stock-based employee compensation expense
at fair value in accordance with the provisions of GAAP and
recognizes such expense over the vesting period of the
stock-based employee awards. For the 2009 Successor Period, the
2009 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31,
2008 and
23
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2007, the Company recognized stock-based employee compensation
expense of $8.0 million, $7.7 million,
$15.7 million and $27.1 million, respectively.
For further information related to the Companys
stock-based compensation programs, see Note 14,
Stock-Based Compensation.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Lear
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to Lear is
computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding
during the period. Common shares issuable upon the satisfaction
of certain conditions pursuant to a contractual agreement, such
as those common shares contemplated by the Plan, are considered
common shares outstanding and are included in the computation of
net income (loss) per share. Accordingly, the 34.1 million
shares of common stock contemplated by the Plan, without regard
to the actual issuance dates, were included in the computation
of net income (loss) per share attributable to Lear for the 2009
Successor Period. Diluted net income (loss) per share
attributable to Lear includes the dilutive effect of common
stock equivalents using the average share price during the

The effect of certain common stock equivalents, including shares
of preferred stock, warrants, restricted stock units,
performance units, stock appreciation rights and options were
excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding for
the 2009 Successor Period, the 2009 Predecessor Period and the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, as inclusion would
have resulted in antidilution. A summary of these common stock

Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. During 2009, there were no material
changes in the methods or policies used to establish estimates
and assumptions. The adoption of fresh-start accounting required
significant estimation and judgment (Note 3,
Fresh-Start Accounting). Other matters subject to
estimation and judgment include amounts related to accounts
receivable realization, inventory obsolescence, asset
impairments, useful lives of fixed and intangible assets and
unsettled pricing discussions with customers and suppliers
(Note 4, Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies); restructuring accruals (Note 7,
Restructuring); deferred tax asset valuation
allowances and income taxes (Note 11, Income
Taxes); pension and other postretirement benefit plan
assumptions (Note 12, Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefit Plans); accruals related to
litigation, warranty and environmental remediation costs
(Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies); and
self-insurance accruals. Actual results may differ significantly
from the Companys estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior years financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the
2009 Successor and 2009 Predecessor Periods.
On February 9, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger, as amended (the AREP merger
agreement), with AREP Car Holdings Corp., a Delaware
corporation (AREP Car Holdings), and AREP Car
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of AREP Car Holdings, an affiliate of Carl C. Icahn.
On July 16, 2007, the Company held its 2007 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders, at which the proposal to approve the AREP
merger agreement did not receive the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Companys common stock. As a result, the AREP merger
agreement terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon
termination of the AREP merger agreement, the Company was
obligated to (1) pay AREP Car Holdings $12.5 million,
(2) issue to AREP Car Holdings 335,570 shares of its
common stock valued at approximately $12.5 million, based
on the closing price of the Companys common stock on
July 16, 2007, and (3) increase from 24% to 27% the
share ownership limitation under the limited waiver of
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law granted
by the Company in October 2006 to affiliates of and funds
managed by Carl C. Icahn (collectively, the Termination
Consideration). The Company recognized costs of
approximately $34.9 million associated with the Termination
Consideration and transaction costs related to the proposed
merger in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2007.

Divestiture
of Interior Business
|
European
Interior Business
In 2006, the Company completed the contribution of substantially
all of its European interior business to International
Automotive Components Group, LLC (IAC Europe), a
joint venture with affiliates of WL Ross & Co. LLC
(WL Ross) and Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC
(Franklin), in exchange for an approximately
one-third equity interest in IAC Europe. In connection with this
transaction, the Company recorded a loss on divestiture of
interior business of $6.1 million in 2007. In 2009, as a
result of an equity transaction between IAC Europe and one of
the Companys joint venture partners, the Companys
equity interest in IAC Europe decreased to 30.45%.
25
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The Companys investment in IAC Europe is accounted for
under the equity method (Note 8, Investments in
Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions).
North
American Interior Business
In March 2007, the Company completed the transfer of
substantially all of the assets of its North American interior
business (as well as its interests in two China joint ventures)
to International Automotive Components Group North America, Inc.
(IAC) (the IAC North America
Transaction). The IAC North America Transaction was
completed pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the Purchase Agreement) dated as of
November 30, 2006, by and among the Company, IAC,
affiliates of WL Ross and Franklin and International Automotive
Components Group North America, LLC (IAC North
America), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the
Purchase Agreement dated as of March 31, 2007. Also on
March 31, 2007, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
and affiliates of WL Ross and Franklin entered into the Limited
Liability Company Agreement of IAC North America (the LLC
Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company contributed
$27.4 million in cash to IAC North America in exchange for
a 25% equity interest in IAC North America and warrants for an
additional 7% of the current outstanding common equity of IAC
North America. Certain affiliates of WL Ross and Franklin made
aggregate capital contributions of approximately
$81.2 million to IAC North America in exchange for the
remaining equity and extended a $50 million term loan to
IAC. The Company had agreed to fund up to an additional
$40 million, and WL Ross and Franklin had agreed to fund up
to an additional $45 million, in the event that IAC did not
meet certain financial targets in 2007. During 2007, the Company
completed negotiations related to the amount of additional
funding, and on October 10, 2007, the Company made a cash
payment to IAC of $12.5 million in full satisfaction of
this contingent funding obligation.
In connection with the IAC North America Transaction, IAC
assumed the ordinary course liabilities of the Companys
North American interior business, and the Company retained
certain pre-closing liabilities, including pension and
postretirement healthcare liabilities incurred through the
closing date of the transaction. In addition, the Company
recorded a loss on divestiture of interior business of
$611.5 million, of which $4.6 million was recognized
in 2007 and $606.9 million was recognized in 2006. The
Company also recognized additional costs related to the IAC
North America Transaction of $10.0 million, of which
$7.5 million are recorded in cost of sales and
$2.5 million are recorded in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
2007.
The Company did not account for the divestiture of its North
American interior business as a discontinued operation due to
its continuing involvement with IAC North America.
In October 2007, IAC North America completed the acquisition of
the soft trim division of Collins & Aikman Corporation
(C&A) (the C&A Acquisition).
In connection with the C&A Acquisition, the senior secured
creditors of C&A (the C&A Creditors)
purchased shares of Class B common stock of IAC North
America for an aggregate purchase price of $82.3 million.
In addition, in order to finance the C&A Acquisition, IAC
North America issued to WL Ross, Franklin and the Company
approximately $126 million of additional shares of
Class A common stock of IAC North America in a preemptive
rights offering. The Company purchased its entire 25% allocation
of Class A shares in the preemptive rights offering for
$31.6 million. After giving effect to the sale of the
Class A and Class B shares, the Company owns 18.75% of
the total outstanding shares of common stock of IAC North
America. The Company also maintains the same governance and
other rights in IAC North America that it possessed prior to the
C&A Acquisition.
To effect the issuance of shares in the C&A Acquisition and
the settlement of the Companys contingent funding
obligation, on October 11, 2007, IAC North America, WL
Ross, Franklin, the Company and the participating C&A
Creditors entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement of IAC North America (the Amended LLC
Agreement). The Amended LLC Agreement, among other things,
26
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(1) provides the participating C&A Creditors certain
governance and transfer rights with respect to their
Class B shares and (2) eliminates any further funding
obligations to IAC North America.
The Companys investment in IAC North America is accounted
for under the equity method (Note 8, Investments in
Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions).
In 2005, the Company initiated a three-year restructuring
strategy to (i) eliminate excess capacity and lower the
operating costs of the Company, (ii) streamline the
Companys organizational structure and reposition its
business for improved long-term profitability and
(iii) better align the Companys manufacturing
footprint with the changing needs of its customers. In light of
industry conditions and customer announcements, the Company
expanded this strategy in 2008. Through the end of 2008, the
Company incurred pretax restructuring costs of
$528.3 million. In 2009, the Company continued to
restructure its global operations and to aggressively reduce its
costs. The Company expects accelerated restructuring actions and
related investments to continue for the next few years.
Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, fixed
asset impairment charges and contract termination costs, as well
as other incremental costs resulting from the restructuring
actions. These incremental costs principally include equipment
and personnel relocation costs. The Company also incurs
incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating
locations impacted by the restructuring actions during the
related restructuring implementation period. Restructuring costs
are recognized in the Companys consolidated financial
statements in accordance with GAAP. Generally, charges are
recorded as elements of the restructuring strategy are finalized.
In the 2009 Successor Period, the Company recorded charges of
$43.5 million in connection with its restructuring actions.
These charges consist of $36.6 million recorded as cost of
sales, $6.6 million recorded as selling, general and
administrative expenses and $0.3 million recorded as other
(income) expense, net. The restructuring charges consist of
employee termination benefits of $44.5 million and other
related credits of ($1.0) million. Employee termination
benefits were recorded based on existing union and employee
contracts, statutory requirements and completed negotiations.

selling, general and administrative expenses,
($0.5) million recorded as other (income) expense, net and

of employee termination benefits of $77.9 million, fixed
asset impairment charges of $5.6 million and contract
termination costs of $6.6 million, as well as other related
costs of $10.3 million. Employee termination benefits were
recorded based on existing union and employee contracts,

impairment charges relate to the disposal of buildings,
leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment with carrying
values of $5.6 million in excess of related estimated fair
values. Contract termination costs include net pension and other
postretirement benefit plan charges of $9.4 million and
various other credits of ($2.8) million, the majority of
which relate to the rejection of certain lease agreements in
connection with the Companys bankruptcy filing.

Includes $2.3 million, $3.6 million and
$2.8 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, paid to
CB Richard Ellis for real estate brokerage services, as well as
property and project management services; includes
$4.0 million and $5.3 million in 2008 and 2007,
respectively, paid to Analysts International, Sequoia Services
Group for the purchase of computer equipment and for
computer-related services; and includes $0.5 million in
2007 paid to Elite Support Management Group, L.L.C. for the
provision of information technology temporary support personnel.
Each entity employed a relative of the Companys Chairman,
Chief Executive Officer and President. In addition, Elite
Support Management was partially owned by a relative of the
Companys Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
in 2007. As a result, such entities may be deemed to be related
parties. These purchases were made in the ordinary course of the
Companys business and in accordance with the
Companys normal procedures for engaging service providers
or sourcing suppliers, as applicable. |
The Companys investment in Shanghai Lear STEC Automotive
Parts Co., Ltd. is accounted for under the equity method as the
result of certain approval rights granted to the minority
shareholders. The Companys investment in International
Automotive Components Group North America, LLC is accounted for
under the equity method due to the Companys ability to
exert significant influence over the venture.
The Company guarantees 49% of certain of the debt of Tacle
Seating USA, LLC. As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate
amount of debt guaranteed was $3.4 million.
2009
In July 2009, the Company completed the divestiture of its
ownership interest in Nanjing Lear Xindi Automotive Interiors
Systems Co., Ltd. for $0.7 million, recognizing a gain on
the transaction of $0.7 million, which is reflected in
other (income) expense, net for the 2009 Predecessor Period. In
April 2009, the Company divested of a portion of its ownership
interest in Furukawa Lear Corporation, thereby reducing its
ownership interest to 20% from 80%, and commenced accounting for
its investment under the equity method of
31
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
accounting. Previously, Furukawa Lear Corporation was accounted
for as a consolidated, less than wholly owned subsidiary.
In July 2009, as a result of an equity transaction between IAC
Europe and one of the Companys joint venture partners, the
Companys ownership interest in IAC Europe decreased to
30.45%, and the Company recognized an impairment charge of
$26.6 million related to its investment. The Company has no
further funding obligations with respect to this affiliate.
Therefore, in the event that IAC Europe requires additional
capital to fund its operations, the Companys equity
ownership percentage will likely be diluted. The Company also
recognized an impairment charge of $15.4 million related to
its investment in another equity affiliate. These impairment
charges are reflected in equity in net (income) loss of
affiliates in the accompanying statement of operations for the
2009 Predecessor Period. See Note 4, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies.
2008
In December 2008, the Company divested its ownership interest in
Total Interior Systems America, LLC for
$35.0 million, recognizing a gain on the transaction of
$19.5 million, which is reflected in other expense, net in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2008. In June 2008, the Company
divested of a portion of its ownership interests in Honduras
Electrical Distribution Systems S. de R.L. de C.V. and
Kyungshin-Lear Sales and Engineering LLC, thereby reducing its
ownership interests in these ventures to 49% from 60%. In
connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a gain
of $2.7 million, which is reflected in other expense, net
in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2008. In April 2008, the Company
divested of a portion of its ownership interest in Hanil Lear
India Private Limited, thereby reducing its ownership interest
in this venture to 35% from 50%. In connection with this
transaction, the Company recognized an impairment charge of
$1.0 million in the first quarter of 2008, which is
reflected in equity in net (income) loss of affiliates in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
Also in 2008, the Company recognized an impairment charge of
$34.2 million related to its investment in IAC North
America. The impairment charge was based on the significant
decline in the operating results of IAC North America, as well
as a recently completed financing transaction between IAC North
America and certain of its lenders, and is reflected in equity
in net (income) loss of affiliates in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2008. The Company has no further funding
obligations with respect to this affiliate. Therefore, in the
event that IAC North America requires additional capital to fund
its operations, the Companys equity ownership percentage
will likely be diluted. See Note 4, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies.
In the second quarter of 2008, the Company began to consolidate
the financial position and operating results of Chongqing Lear
Changan Automotive Trim, Co., Ltd. and Lear Changan
(Chongqing) Automotive System Co., Ltd. as a result of the

First
Lien Facility
On October 23, 2009, the Company entered into a first lien
credit agreement (the First Lien Agreement) with
certain financial institutions party thereto and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, providing for the issuance
of term loans under the First Lien Facility. Pursuant to the
terms of the First Lien Agreement, on the Effective Date, the
Company had access to $500 million, subject to certain
adjustments as defined in the Plan. Upon emergence from
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on November 9, 2009,
the Company requested initial funding of $200 million under
this facility and had access to the remainder (the remainder to
be drawn not later than 35 days after the initial funding
and the amount to be determined based on the terms of the Plan
and the Companys liquidity needs). The proceeds of the
First Lien Facility were used, in part, to satisfy amounts
outstanding under the Companys
debtor-in-possession
credit facility, and the remaining proceeds are available for
other general corporate purposes. For further information
regarding the
debtor-in-possession
credit facility, see DIP Agreement below.
On November 27, 2009, the Company elected to make the
delayed draw provided for under the First Lien Facility in the
amount of $175 million. As of December 31, 2009, the
aggregate principal amount outstanding under the First Lien
Facility was $375.0 million. In addition to the foregoing,
upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company will have
the right to raise additional funds to increase the amount
available under the First Lien Facility up to an aggregate
amount of $575 million.
The First Lien Facility is comprised of the term loans described
in the preceding paragraphs. Obligations under the First Lien
Agreement are secured on a first priority basis by a lien on
substantially all of the U.S. assets of Lear and its
domestic subsidiaries, as well as 100% of the stock of
Lears domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of
certain of Lears foreign subsidiaries. In addition,
obligations under the First Lien Agreement are guaranteed on a
first priority basis, on a joint and several basis, by certain
of Lears domestic subsidiaries, which are directly or
indirectly 100% owned by Lear.
Advances under the First Lien Agreement bear interest at a fixed
rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of
2.0%), as adjusted for certain statutory reserves, plus 5.50%,
payable on the last day of each applicable interest period but
in no event less frequently than quarterly, or (ii) the
Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the First Lien Agreement) plus
4.50%, payable quarterly. In addition, the First Lien Agreement
obligates the Company to pay certain fees to the lenders.
The First Lien Agreement contains various customary
representations, warranties and covenants by the Company,
including, without limitation, (i) covenants regarding
maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage;
(ii) limitations on the amount of capital expenditures;
(iii) limitations on fundamental changes involving the
Company or its subsidiaries; and (iv) limitations on
indebtedness and liens. As of December 31, 2009, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth in the
First Lien Facility.
Obligations under the First Lien Agreement may be accelerated
following certain events of default, including, without
limitation, any breach by the Company of any representation,
warranty or covenant made in the First Lien Agreement or the
entry into bankruptcy by the Company or certain of its
subsidiaries.
The First Lien Facility matures on November 9, 2014,
provided that if the second lien credit agreement (the
Second Lien Agreement) is not refinanced prior to
three months before its maturity on November 9, 2012, the
maturity of the First Lien Facility will be adjusted
automatically to three months before the maturity of the Second
Lien Facility.
Second
Lien Facility
On the Effective Date, the Company entered into the Second Lien
Agreement with certain financial institutions party thereto and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, providing

of $550 million of term loans under the Second Lien
Facility, which debt was issued on the Effective Date in partial
satisfaction of the amounts outstanding under the Companys
pre-petition primary credit facility.
Obligations under the Second Lien Agreement are secured on a
second priority basis by a lien on substantially all of the
U.S. assets of Lear and its domestic subsidiaries, as well
as 100% of the stock of Lears domestic subsidiaries and
65% of the stock of certain of Lears foreign subsidiaries.
In addition, obligations under the Second Lien Agreement are
guaranteed on a second priority basis, on a joint and several
basis, by certain of Lears domestic subsidiaries, which
are directly or indirectly 100% owned by Lear.
Advances under the Second Lien Agreement bear interest at a
fixed rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor
of 3.5%), as adjusted for certain statutory reserves, plus 5.50%
(with certain increases over the life of the Second Lien
Facility), payable on the last day of each applicable interest
period but in no event less frequently than quarterly, or
(ii) the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the Second Lien
Agreement) plus 4.50% (with certain increases over the life of
the Second Lien Facility), payable quarterly. In addition, the
Second Lien Agreement obligates the Company to pay certain fees
to the lenders.
The Second Lien Agreement contains various customary
representations, warranties and covenants by the Company,
including, without limitation, (i) covenants regarding
maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage;
(ii) limitations on the amount of capital expenditures;
(iii) limitations on fundamental changes involving the
Company or its subsidiaries; and (iv) limitations on
indebtedness and liens. As of December 31, 2009, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth in the
Second Lien Facility.
Obligations under the Second Lien Agreement may be accelerated
following certain events of default (subject to applicable cure
periods), including, without limitation, the failure to pay
principal or interest when due, a breach by the Company of any
representation, warranty or covenant made in the Second Lien
Agreement or the entry into bankruptcy by the Company or certain
of its subsidiaries.
The Second Lien Agreement matures on November 9, 2012.
DIP
Agreement
On July 6, 2009, the Debtors entered into a credit and
guarantee agreement by and among Lear, as borrower, the
guarantors party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the
DIP Agreement). The DIP Agreement provided for new
money
debtor-in-possession
financing comprised of a term loan in the aggregate principal
amount of $500 million. On August 4, 2009, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the DIP Agreement,
and the Debtors subsequently received proceeds of
$500 million, net of related fees and expenses of
$36.7 million, related to available
debtor-in-possession
financing. On the Effective Date, amounts outstanding under the
DIP Agreement were repaid, using proceeds of the First Lien
Facility and available cash.
Pre-Petition
Primary Credit Facility
The Companys pre-petition primary credit facility
consisted of an amended and restated credit and guarantee
agreement, as further amended, which provided for maximum
revolving borrowing commitments of $1.3 billion and a term
loan facility of $1.0 billion. As of December 31,
2008, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the
pre-petition primary credit facility was $2.2 billion.

Under the Plan, the Companys pre-petition debt securities,
primary credit facility and other obligations were extinguished.
Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes cancellation of
indebtedness income (CODI) upon discharge of its
outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is
less than its adjusted issue price. The Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (IRC), provides that a debtor in a
bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from income but must reduce
certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized
as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. The
amount of CODI realized by a taxpayer is the adjusted issue
price of any indebtedness discharged less the sum of
(i) the amount of cash paid, (ii) the issue price of
any new indebtedness issued and (iii) the fair market value
of any other consideration, including equity, issued. As a
result of the market value of our equity upon emergence from
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, we were able to retain a
significant portion of our U.S. net operating loss, capital
loss and tax credit carryforwards (collectively, the Tax
Attributes) after reduction of the Tax Attributes for CODI
realized on emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings.
IRC Sections 382 and 383 provide an annual limitation with
respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its Tax
Attributes, as well as certain
built-in-losses,
against future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change
in ownership. The Companys emergence from Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings is considered a change in ownership for
purposes of IRC Section 382. The limitation under the IRC
is based on the value of the corporation as of the emergence
date. As a result, our future U.S. taxable income may not
be fully offset by the Tax Attributes if such income exceeds our
annual limitation, and we may incur a tax liability with
38
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
respect to such income. In addition, subsequent changes in
ownership for purposes of the IRC could further diminish the
Companys Tax Attributes.
For the 2009 Successor Period, the 2009 Predecessor Period and
the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, income in
foreign jurisdictions with tax holidays was $9.8 million,
$99.8 million, $104.4 million and $142.6 million,
respectively. Such tax holidays generally expire from 2010
through 2017.
Deferred income taxes represent temporary differences in the
recognition of certain items for financial reporting and income
tax purposes. A summary of the components of the net deferred
income tax asset is shown below (in millions):

The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance related
to its net deferred tax assets in the United States and several
foreign jurisdictions. The Companys current and future
provision for income taxes is significantly impacted by the
initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in
certain countries, particularly the United States. The Company
intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely
than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The
Companys future provision for income taxes will include no
tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and no tax expense
with respect to income generated in these countries until the
respective valuation allowance is eliminated. The classification
of the net deferred income tax asset is shown below (in
millions):

Deferred income taxes have not been provided on
$1.2 billion of certain undistributed earnings of the
Companys foreign subsidiaries as such amounts are
considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable
to determine the unrecognized deferred tax liability on these
earnings because the actual tax liability on these earnings, if
any, is dependent on circumstances existing when remittance
occurs.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had tax loss
carryforwards of $2.4 billion. Of the total tax loss
carryforwards, $1.4 billion has no expiration date, and
$1.0 billion expires from 2010 through 2029. In addition,
the Company had tax credit carryforwards of $221.3 million
comprised principally of U.S. foreign tax credits, research
and development credits and investment tax credits that
generally expire between 2014 and 2028.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted new GAAP
provisions, which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes by establishing minimum standards for the
recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. Under these new requirements, the
Company must review all of its tax positions and make a
determination as to whether its position is more-likely-than-not
to be sustained upon examination by regulatory authorities. If a
tax position meets the more-likely-than-not standard, then the
related tax benefit is measured based on a cumulative
probability analysis of the amount that is more-likely-than-not
to be realized upon ultimate settlement or disposition of the
underlying issue. The Company recognized the cumulative impact
of the adoption of these requirements as a $4.5 million
decrease to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits with a
corresponding decrease to its retained deficit balance as of
January 1, 2007.
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Companys gross
unrecognized tax benefits were $63.8 million and
$99.8 million, respectively (excluding interest and
penalties), of which $63.8 million and $92.4 million,
respectively, if recognized, would affect the Companys
effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefits differ
from the amount that would affect the Companys effective
tax rate due primarily to the impact of the valuation allowance.
The gross unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in other
long-term liabilities, with the exception of $2.7 million
and $9.4 million (excluding interest and penalties), which
is recorded in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties with respect to
unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had recorded gross
reserves of $26.7 and $36.4 million (excluding federal
benefit where applicable), respectively, related to interest and
penalties, of which $20.2 million and $29.6 million,
respectively, if recognized, would affect the Companys
effective tax rate. During the 2009 Successor Period, the 2009
Predecessor Period and the year ended December 31, 2008,
the Company recorded net tax (benefit) expense (including
federal benefit where applicable) related to changes in its
reserves for interest and penalties of ($4.8) million,
($3.2) million and $10.1 million, respectively.
The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the
world, and its tax returns are periodically audited or subject
to review by both domestic and foreign tax authorities. During
the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that, as a
result of audit settlements, the conclusion of current
examinations and the expiration of the statute of limitations in
several jurisdictions, the Company may decrease the amount of
its gross unrecognized tax benefits by approximately
$22.3 million, all of which, if recognized, would affect
its effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefits
subject to potential decrease involve issues related to transfer
pricing, tax credits and various other tax items in several
jurisdictions. However, as a result of ongoing examinations, tax
proceedings in certain countries, additions to the gross
unrecognized tax benefits for positions taken and interest and
penalties, if any, arising in 2010, it is not possible to
estimate the potential net increase or decrease to the
Companys gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next
twelve months.
The Company considers its significant tax jurisdictions to
include Canada, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Spain
and the United States. The Company or its subsidiaries remain
subject to income tax examination in certain U.S. state and
local jurisdictions for years after 1998; however, for any
taxable year prior to 2009, such jurisdictions are generally
limited to the amount of any tax claims they filed in the
Bankruptcy Court by January 4, 2010. Further, the Company
or its subsidiaries remain subject to income tax examination in
Germany for years after 2000, in Mexico for years after 2002, in
Hungary and Poland for years after 2003, in Spain and Italy
generally for years after 2004, and in the U.S. and Canada
for years after 2008.

Pension
and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
|
The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans
covering certain domestic employees and certain employees in
foreign countries, principally Canada. The Companys
salaried pension plans provide benefits based on final average
earnings formulas. The Companys hourly pension plans
provide benefits under flat benefit and cash balance formulas.
The Company also has contractual arrangements with certain
41
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
employees which provide for supplemental retirement benefits. In
general, the Companys policy is to fund its pension
benefit obligation based on legal requirements, tax
considerations and local practices.
The Company has postretirement benefit plans covering certain
domestic and Canadian employees. The Companys
postretirement benefit plans generally provide for the
continuation of medical benefits for all eligible employees who
complete ten years of service after age 45 and retire from
the Company at age 55 or older. The Company does not fund
its postretirement benefit obligation. Rather, payments are made
as costs are incurred by covered retirees.

As a result of the change in the Companys measurement date
discussed below, employer contributions to the Companys
pension plans in 2008 include $29.6 million of
contributions for the period from October 1, 2007 to
December 31, 2007. In addition, pension and other
postretirement benefits paid in 2008 include $8.7 million
and $2.3 million, respectively, of benefit payments for the
period from October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007.
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the accumulated benefit
obligation for all of the Companys pension plans was
$813.4 million and $775.1 million, respectively. As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the majority of the
Companys pension plans had accumulated benefit obligations
in excess of plan assets. The projected benefit obligation, the
accumulated benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets
of pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess
of plan assets were $581.7 million, $579.1 million and
$405.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2009,
and $591.1 million, $589.3 million and
$309.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company elected to amend
certain of its U.S. salaried other postretirement benefit
plans to eliminate post-65 salaried retiree medical and life
insurance coverage and to increase the retiree contribution rate
for pre-65 salaried retiree medical coverage. This amendment
resulted in a reduction of the other postretirement benefit
obligation of $21.8 million as of December 31, 2008.
In addition, negotiated amendments to certain of the
Companys foreign other postretirement benefit plans
resulted in a reduction of the other postretirement benefit
obligation of $39.5 million in the 2009 Predecessor Period.
Change
in Measurement Date
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted new GAAP
provisions, which required the measurement of defined benefit
plan assets and liabilities as of the annual balance sheet date
beginning in the fiscal period ending after December 15,
2008. In previous years, the Company measured its defined
benefit plan assets and liabilities primarily using a
measurement date of September 30, as previously allowed
under GAAP. As of January 1, 2008, the required adjustment
to recognize the net periodic benefit cost for the transition
period from October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, was
determined using the
15-month
measurement approach. Under this approach, the net periodic
benefit cost was determined for the period from October 1,
2007 to December 31, 2008, and the adjustment for the
transition period was calculated on a pro-rata basis. The
Company recorded an after-tax transition adjustment of
$6.9 million as an increase to beginning retained deficit,
$1.0 million as an increase to beginning accumulated other
comprehensive income and $5.9 million as an increase to the
net pension and other postretirement liability related accounts,
including the deferred tax accounts, as of January 1, 2008.

For the 2009 Predecessor Period and the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized net
pension and other postretirement benefit curtailment and other
losses of $9.4 million, $7.5 million and
$18.8 million, respectively, related to its restructuring
actions. Also in 2007, the Company recognized a curtailment gain
of $36.4 million resulting from the Companys election
to freeze its U.S. salaried defined benefit pension plan
effective December 31, 2006. This gain was recognized in
2007 as the related curtailment occurred after the 2006
measurement date.

The expected return on plan assets is determined based on
several factors, including adjusted historical returns,
historical risk premiums for various asset classes and target
asset allocations within the portfolio. Adjustments made to the
historical returns are based on recent return experience in the
equity and fixed income markets and the belief that deviations
from historical returns are likely over the relevant investment
horizon.
Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on
the amounts reported for the postretirement benefit plans. A 1%
increase in the assumed rate of healthcare cost increases each
year would increase the postretirement benefit obligation by
$20.5 million as of December 31, 2009, and increase
the postretirement net periodic benefit cost by
$0.2 million and $2.4 million for the 2009 Successor
and 2009 Predecessor Periods, respectively. A 1% decrease in the
assumed rate of healthcare cost increases each year would
decrease the postretirement benefit obligation by
$17.1 million as of December 31, 2009, and decrease
the postretirement net periodic benefit cost by
$0.2 million and $1.9 million for the 2009 Successor
and 2009 Predecessor Periods, respectively.
For the measurement of postretirement benefit obligation as of
December 31, 2009, domestic healthcare costs were assumed
to increase 9% in 2010, grading down over time to 5% in eight
years. Foreign healthcare
47

Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
costs were assumed to increase 6% in 2010, grading down over
time to 5% in 15 years on a weighted average basis.
Plan
Assets
With the exception of investments in hedge funds, plan assets
are valued at fair value using a market approach and observable
inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets
(Level 1 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy).
Investments in hedge funds are valued at fair value based on net
asset per share or unit provided for each investment fund. Net
asset value per share or unit is considered an unobservable
input (Level 3 input based on the GAAP fair value
hierarchy). The Companys plan assets include investments
in hedge funds of $58.1 million as of December 31,
2009. During the 2009 Successor Period, changes in the fair
value of these plan assets were due to unrealized gains of
$0.9 million, realized losses of ($0.1) million, net
purchases, sales and settlements of ($2.0) million and the
impact of translation and other of $0.7 million. During the
2009 Predecessor Period, changes in the fair value of these plan
assets were due to unrealized gains of $2.9 million, net
purchases, sales and settlements of ($3.9) million and the
impact of translation and other of $3.2 million. For
further information on the GAAP fair value hierarchy, see
Note 17, Financial Instruments.
The Companys pension plan assets by asset category are
shown below (in millions). Pension plan assets for the foreign
plans relate to the Companys pension plans in Canada and
the United Kingdom.

The Companys investment policies incorporate an asset
allocation strategy that emphasizes the long-term growth of
capital. The Company believes that this strategy is consistent
with the long-term nature of plan liabilities and ultimate cash
needs of the plans. For the domestic portfolio, the Company
targets an equity allocation of 50% 80% of plan
assets, a fixed income allocation of 15% 45% and a
cash allocation of 0% 10%. For the foreign
portfolio, the Company targets an equity allocation of
45% 75% of plan assets, a fixed income allocation of
30% 50% and a cash allocation of 0% 10%.
Differences in the target allocations of the domestic and
foreign portfolios are reflective of differences in the
underlying plan liabilities. Diversification within the
investment portfolios is pursued by asset class and investment
management style. The investment portfolios are reviewed on a
quarterly basis to maintain the desired asset allocations, given
the market performance of the asset classes and investment
management styles.
The Company utilizes investment management firms to manage these
assets in accordance with the Companys investment
policies. Excluding investments in hedge funds, retained
investment managers are provided investment guidelines that
indicate prohibited assets, which include commodities contracts,
futures
48
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
contracts, options, venture capital, real estate and
interest-only or principal-only strips. Derivative instruments
are also prohibited without the specific approval of the
Company. Investment managers are limited in the maximum size of
individual security holdings and the maximum exposure to any one
industry relative to the total portfolio. Fixed income managers
are provided further investment guidelines that indicate minimum
credit ratings for debt securities and limitations on weighted
average maturity and portfolio duration.
The Company evaluates investment manager performance against
market indices which the Company believes are appropriate to the
investment management style for which the investment manager has
been retained. The Companys investment policies
incorporate an investment goal of aggregate portfolio returns
which exceed the returns of the appropriate market indices by a
reasonable spread over the relevant investment horizon.
Contributions
Based on minimum funding requirements, the Company expects
required contributions to be approximately $25 to
$30 million to its domestic and foreign pension plans in
2010. The Company may elect to make contributions in excess of
the minimum funding requirements in response to investment
performance and changes in interest rates, to achieve funding
levels required by the Companys defined benefit plan
arrangements or when the Company believes it is financially
advantageous to do so and based on its other capital
requirements. The Companys minimum funding requirements
after 2010 will depend on several factors, including investment
performance and interest rates. The Companys minimum
funding requirements may also be affected by changes in
applicable legal requirements.
Benefit
Payments
As of December 31, 2009, the Companys estimate of
expected benefit payments, excluding expected settlements
relating to its restructuring actions, in each of the five
succeeding years and in the aggregate for the five years

Defined
Contribution and Multi-Employer Pension Plans
The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans and
participates in government-sponsored programs in certain foreign
countries. Contributions are determined as a percentage of each
covered employees salary. The Company also participates in
multi-employer pension plans for certain of its hourly
employees. Contributions are based on collective bargaining
agreements. For the 2009 Successor Period, the 2009 Predecessor
Period and the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the
aggregate cost of the defined contribution and multi-employer
pension plans was $0.6 million, $5.3 million,
$6.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively.
The Company also has a defined contribution retirement program
for its salaried employees. Contributions to this program are
determined as a percentage of each covered employees
eligible compensation. For the 2009 Successor Period, the 2009
Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, the
49

$10.3 million, $12.3 million and $16.1 million,
respectively, related to this program.
Adoption
of New Accounting Pronouncement
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted new GAAP
provisions, which were effective for fiscal periods beginning
after December 15, 2007, requiring the recognition of a
liability for endorsement split-dollar life insurance
arrangements that provide postretirement benefits. In accordance
with the specified transition provisions, the Company recorded a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of
$4.9 million as an increase to beginning retained deficit
and an increase to other long-term liabilities as of
January 1, 2008.

50
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The Companys Series A Preferred Stock has the
following rights and privileges:
|
|
|
|
|
Voting In general, holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote for each
share of common stock issuable upon conversion and shall vote
together as a single class with holders of common stock on all
matters properly submitted for the vote of the Companys
stockholders.
|
|
|
|
Dividend Rights Except as described below,
the Series A Preferred Stock shall not bear any mandatory
dividend. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will
participate in any dividends or other distributions declared on
the common stock (other than a dividend payable solely in
additional shares of common stock) based on the number of shares
of common stock issuable upon conversion immediately prior to
the applicable record date for such dividend. So long as any
Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall
not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on common stock
(other than a dividend payable solely in additional shares of
common stock) unless holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock have received, or shall simultaneously receive, a dividend
in an amount equal to the dividend such holders would have been
entitled to receive based on the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock. Additionally, so long as any Series A Preferred
Stock is outstanding, the Company shall not redeem, purchase or
otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any common stock, other
than (i) the repurchase of common stock held by its
departing employees and directors or (ii) cash payments
made in lieu of fractional shares of common stock that would
otherwise be issued upon any conversion, exercise or exchange of
any capital stock, option, warrant or other security that is
convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, common
stock or any reverse split or other combination of common stock.
The Companys board of directors may declare dividends or
other distributions with respect to the Series A Preferred
Stock regardless of whether any dividend or other distribution
is declared with respect to the common stock.
|
|
|
|
Liquidation Rights Upon the dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company, no distributions or
payments may be made to or set aside for holders of common stock
until full payment of all amounts required to be paid to holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock has been made. Holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
payment out of the Companys assets available for
distribution, an amount per share of Series A Preferred
Stock equal to the greater of (i) $41.30 per share (subject
to adjustment) plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid
dividends thereon, if any, and (ii) the amount that would
be payable to such holder in respect of the common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock,
assuming conversion of all Series A Preferred Stock into
common stock immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company. The board of directors may declare
dividends or distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock
regardless of whether any dividend or other distribution is
declared with respect to the common stock.
|
|
|
|
Conversion Rights Holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock may elect at any time to convert
their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of
common stock. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock will
be converted into shares of common stock on November 9,
2012, unless earlier converted pursuant to the terms of such
Series A Preferred Stock. Conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock will dilute the ownership interest of holders of
common stock.

Warrants
In connection with the Plan, the Company issued 8,157,249
Warrants on the Effective Date. As of December 31, 2009,
there were 6,377,068 Warrants outstanding. In accordance with
GAAP, the Company has accounted for these Warrants as equity
instruments. The Company estimated the fair value of Warrants
issued at
51
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
$305.9 million using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing
model, assuming volatility of 60%. The following is a
description of the Warrants:
|
|
|
|
|
Exercise Each Warrant entitles its holder to
purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01
per share of common stock (the Exercise Price),
subject to adjustment. The Warrants are exercisable at any time
during the period (a) commencing on the business day
immediately following a period of 30 consecutive trading days
during which the closing price of the common stock for at least
20 of the trading days is equal to or greater than $39.63 (as
adjusted from time to time) and (b) ending on
November 9, 2014 (warrant expiration date). On
December 21, 2009, the Warrants became exercisable at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share of common stock.
|
|
|
|
No Rights as Stockholders Prior to the
exercise of the Warrants, no holder of Warrants (solely in its
capacity as a holder of Warrants) is entitled to any rights as a
stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the
right to vote, receive notice of any meeting of stockholders or
receive dividends, allotments or other distributions.
|
|
|
|
Adjustments The number of shares of common
stock for which a Warrant is exercisable, the Exercise Price and
the Trigger Price (as defined in the warrant agreement) will be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events, including an increase in the number of
outstanding shares of common stock by means of a dividend
consisting of shares of common stock, a subdivision of the
Companys outstanding shares of common stock into a larger
number of shares of common stock or a combination of the
Companys outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller
number of shares of common stock. In addition, upon the
occurrence of certain events constituting a reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
similar event, each holder of a Warrant will have the right to
receive, upon exercise of a Warrant (if then exercisable), an
amount of securities, cash or other property receivable by a
holder of the number of shares of common stock for which a
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.

Stock-Based
Compensation
|
Successor
As contemplated by the Plan, the Company adopted the Lear
Corporation 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan as of
November 9, 2009 (as amended, the 2009 LTSIP).
The 2009 LTSIP reserves 5,907,874 shares of common stock
for issuance under stock option, restricted stock, restricted
stock unit, restricted unit, performance share, performance unit
and stock appreciation right awards.
On November 9, 2009, the Company granted 1,343,998
restricted stock units under the 2009 LTSIP to certain of its
employees. The restricted stock units were valued at $38.99
based on the reorganization value of the Successor Common Stock
(see Note 3, Fresh-Start Accounting). Certain
of the restricted stock unit awards vest in equal monthly
installments over 36 months beginning one month following
the grant date, and the remaining of the restricted stock unit
awards vest in equal annual installments over three years
beginning one year following the grant date. The Company
recognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock
unit award of $8.0 million in the 2009 Successor Period.
Unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted
stock unit award of $44.4 million will be recognized over
the next 1.5 years on a weighted average basis. During the
2009 Successor Period, restricted stock units of 42,385 vested
and were settled in shares of common stock. As of

Performance shares reflected as granted were
notional shares granted at the beginning of a three-year
performance period whose eventual payout is subject to
satisfaction of performance criteria. Performance shares
reflected as distributed were those performance
shares that were paid out in shares of common stock upon
satisfaction of the performance criteria at the end of the
three-year performance period. |

In 2008, eligible plan participants were provided the
opportunity to exchange up to 50% of certain of their existing
restricted stock units, in 25% increments, for either notional
cash account credits or cash-settled stock appreciation rights.
With respect to the notional cash account credit alternative,
each eligible restricted stock unit was exchanged for a notional
cash account credit in the amount of the closing stock price on
the date of exchange. With respect to the cash-settled stock
appreciation right alternative, each eligible restricted stock
unit was exchanged for cash-settled stock appreciation rights
covering three to four shares of the Companys common
stock. The notional cash account credits and the cash-settled
stock appreciation rights vest in accordance with the terms of
the original restricted stock units, generally three years from
the original grant date. In connection with these transactions,
restricted stock units reflected as expired or
cancelled in 2008 include 75,084 of exchanged units. |

The fair values of the stock-settled stock appreciation rights
were estimated as of the grant dates using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: expected dividend yields of 0.00%; expected life of
four years in 2008 and five years in 2007; risk-free interest
rate of 2.2% in 2008 and 3.82% in 2007; and expected volatility
of 60% in 2008 and 40% in 2007. The weighted average fair value
of the stock-settled stock appreciation rights were $1.13 per
right in 2008 and $13.80 per right in 2007.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
Legal
and Other Contingencies
As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the
Company had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes,
including commercial disputes and other matters, of
$18.8 million and $31.4 million, respectively. Such
reserves reflect amounts recognized in accordance with GAAP and
typically exclude the cost of legal representation. Product
liability and warranty reserves are recorded separately from
legal reserves, as described below.
Chapter 11
Bankruptcy Proceedings
As described in Note 2, Reorganization under
Chapter 11, on November 9, 2009, the Debtors
emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The filing
of the bankruptcy petitions under Chapter 11 automatically
stayed most actions against the Debtors, including, except as
otherwise noted, the matters described below and most other
actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness or to exercise
control over the property of the Debtors estates.
Substantially all of the Debtors pre-petition liabilities
were resolved under the Plan, including certain pre-petition
legal proceedings, as described below.
Commercial
Disputes
The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings
and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or
contractual disputes with its customers, suppliers and
competitors. These disputes vary in nature and are usually
resolved by negotiations between the parties.
On January 26, 2004, the Company filed a patent
infringement lawsuit against Johnson Controls Inc. and Johnson
Controls Interiors LLC (together, the JCI Parties)
in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan alleging that the JCI Parties garage door opener
products infringed certain of the Companys radio frequency
transmitter patents (which complaint was dismissed and
subsequently re-filed by the Company in September 2004). The
Company is seeking a declaration that the JCI Parties infringe
its patents and an order enjoining the JCI Parties from further
infringing those patents by making, selling or offering to sell
their garage door opener products, as well as an award of
compensatory damages, attorney fees and costs. The JCI Parties
counterclaimed seeking a declaration that the subject patents
are invalid and unenforceable and that the JCI Parties are not
infringing these patents, as well as an award of attorney fees
and costs. The JCI Parties have also filed motions for summary
judgment asserting that their garage door opener products do not
infringe
54
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
the Companys patents and that one of the Companys
patents is invalid and unenforceable. In November 2007, the
court issued an opinion and order granting, in part, and
denying, in part, the JCI Parties motion for summary
judgment on one of the Companys patents and denying the
JCI Parties motion to hold the patent unenforceable. The
courts opinion did not address the other two patents
involved in this matter. A trial date with respect to this
matter has not yet been scheduled. This matter was not stayed as
a result of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings or
otherwise affected by the Plan.
On June 13, 2005, The Chamberlain Group
(Chamberlain) filed a lawsuit against the Company
and Ford Motor Company (Ford) in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
alleging patent infringement (from which Ford was subsequently
dismissed) (the Chamberlain Matter). Two counts were
asserted against the Company based upon two Chamberlain
rolling-code garage door opener system patents (Patent Nos.
6,154,544 and 6,810,123). The Company denies that it has
infringed these patents and further contends that these patents
are invalid
and/or
unenforceable. The Chamberlain lawsuit was filed in connection
with the marketing of the Companys universal garage door
opener system, which competes with a product offered by JCI. JCI
obtained technology from Chamberlain to operate its product. In
October 2005, Chamberlain filed an amended complaint and joined
Johnson Controls Interiors LLC (JCI) as a plaintiff.
The Company filed an answer and counterclaim seeking a
declaration that the patents were not infringed and were
invalid, as well as an award of attorney fees and costs.
Chamberlain and JCI are seeking a declaration that the Company
infringes Chamberlains patents and an order enjoining the
Company from making, selling or offering to sell products which,
they allege, infringe Chamberlains patents, as well as an
award of compensatory and treble damages and attorney fees and
costs. On August 12, 2008, a new patent (Patent
No. 7,412,056) was issued to Chamberlain relating to the
same technology as the patents disputed in this lawsuit. On
August 19, 2008, Chamberlain and JCI filed a second amended
complaint against the Company alleging patent infringement with
respect to the new patent and seeking the same types of relief.
The Company filed an answer and counterclaim seeking a
declaration that its products are non-infringing and that the
new patent is invalid and unenforceable due to inequitable
conduct, as well as an award of attorney fees and costs. On
April 16, 2009, the court denied the Companys motions
for summary judgment with respect to the three patents and
ordered the Company to produce additional discovery related to
infringement. On June 19, 2009, the Company moved for a
protective order from further discovery requested by Chamberlain
and JCI. On June 26, 2009, JCI moved for summary judgment
with respect to the 544 and 056 patents, and on
July 9, 2009, the court denied these motions without
prejudice as a result of the Companys Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, the Chamberlain Matter was
stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings
until November 5, 2009.
Since November 5, 2009, the Chamberlain Matter is
proceeding to determine liability, and if liability is found,
the total amount of the compensable damages relating to the
pre-petition period and the post-petition period, if any.
Pursuant to the Plan and a stipulation filed with the Bankruptcy
Court among the Company, Chamberlain and JCI, the Company has
agreed to reserve common stock and warrants issued under the
Plan, sufficient to provide recoveries for an allowed claim of
up to $50 million for pre-petition damages. This reserve is
not a loss contingency reserve determined in accordance with
GAAP and does not reflect a determination by the Company or the
Bankruptcy Court that Chamberlain or JCI is entitled to any
recovery.
Following the Companys emergence from Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings, litigation in the Chamberlain Matter
resumed, and the court entered a schedule for the Company to
move for summary judgment of non-infringement on March 18,
2010, and Chamberlain and JCI to respond by April 12, 2010.
The Companys reply in support of its motion for summary
judgment on non-infringement is due April 26, 2010. Fact
discovery is scheduled to close on June 18, 2010, and
expert discovery is scheduled to close on August 27, 2010.
The parties can then move for summary judgment on subjects other
than infringement by September 10, 2010.

Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
On September 12, 2008, a consultant that the Company
retained filed an arbitration action against the Company seeking
royalties under the parties Joint Development Agreement
(JDA) for the Companys sales of its garage
door opener products. The Company denies that it owes the
consultant any royalty payments under the JDA. No dates have
been set in this matter, and the Company intends to vigorously
defend this matter.
On August 6, 2009, Lear Automotive France (Lear
France), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was
served with a writ by Proma France before the Orléans
Commercial Court. Proma France is a
sub-contractor
of Lear France in connection with its manufacture of seating
parts. Proma France claims that Lear France must indemnify it
for damages allegedly arising from Lear France obtaining
advantageous pricing without providing Proma France with a
written guarantee of purchase volumes. Proma France is seeking
damages of 9.6 million ($13.7 million based on
exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2009). Lear
France intends to assert defenses against the claims in this
matter, including that the issue is covered by a settlement
agreement previously entered into by Lear France and Proma
France on March 6, 2007. The Company believes that the
action by Proma France is without merit and intends to
vigorously defend this matter. On September 23, 2009, Proma
France filed an insolvency proceeding with the Commercial Court
of Orléans. Lear France was not a debtor entity in the
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings; therefore, this matter
was not stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings or otherwise affected by the Plan.
Product
Liability and Warranty Matters
In the event that use of the Companys products results in,
or is alleged to result in, bodily injury
and/or
property damage or other losses, the Company may be subject to
product liability lawsuits and other claims. Such lawsuits
generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages and
attorney fees and costs. In addition, the Company is a party to
warranty-sharing and other agreements with certain of its
customers related to its products. These customers may pursue
claims against the Company for contribution of all or a portion
of the amounts sought in connection with product liability and
warranty claims. The Company can provide no assurance that it
will not experience material claims in the future or that it
will not incur significant costs to defend such claims. In
addition, if any of the Companys products are, or are
alleged to be, defective, the Company may be required or
requested by its customers to participate in a recall or other
corrective action involving such products. Certain of the
Companys customers have asserted claims against the
Company for costs related to recalls or other corrective actions
involving its products.
In certain instances, allegedly defective products may be
supplied by tier II suppliers. The Company may seek
recovery from its suppliers of materials or services included
within the Companys products that are associated with
product liability and warranty claims. The Company carries
insurance for certain legal matters, including product liability
claims, but such coverage may be limited. The Company does not
maintain insurance for product warranty or recall matters. All
pre-petition product liability claims of the Debtors were
subject to compromise under the Plan, and any future
dispositions with respect to these claims will be satisfied out
of a common stock and warrant reserve established for that
purpose.
The Company records product warranty reserves based on its
individual customer agreements. Product warranty reserves are
recorded for known warranty issues when amounts related to such
issues are probable and reasonably estimable.

Environmental
Matters
The Company is subject to local, state, federal and foreign
laws, regulations and ordinances which govern activities or
operations that may have adverse environmental effects and which
impose liability for
clean-up
costs resulting from past spills, disposals or other releases of
hazardous wastes and environmental compliance. The
Companys policy is to comply with all applicable
environmental laws and to maintain an environmental management
program based on ISO 14001 to ensure compliance with this
standard. However, the Company currently is, has been and in the
future may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement
actions or procedures.
The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party at
several third-party landfill sites and is engaged in the cleanup
of hazardous waste at certain sites owned, leased or operated by
the Company, including several properties acquired in its 1999
acquisition of UT Automotive, Inc. (UT Automotive).
Certain present and former properties of UT Automotive are
subject to environmental liabilities which may be significant.
The Company obtained agreements and indemnities with respect to
certain environmental liabilities from United Technologies
Corporation (UTC) in connection with its acquisition
of UT Automotive. UTC manages and directly funds these
environmental liabilities pursuant to its agreements and
indemnities with the Company.
As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the
Company had recorded reserves for environmental matters of
$2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. While the
Company does not believe that the environmental liabilities
associated with its current and former properties will have a
material adverse impact on its business, financial position,
results of operations or cash flows, no assurance can be given
in this regard.
Other
Matters
On March 19, 2009, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc
(RBS) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
alleging breach of contract. In the complaint, RBS requested
that the court award RBS damages of approximately
$35.2 million plus attorney fees, costs and interest. This
lawsuit related to an interest rate collar
transaction, several copper swap transactions and several
foreign exchange transactions between the Company and RBS, which
the Company entered into in order to hedge its exposure to
market movements in interest rates, commodity prices and
currency rates, respectively. In this matter, RBS alleged that
the Companys failure to satisfy the leverage ratio
covenant
57
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
contained in its pre-petition primary credit facility with
respect to the quarter ended December 31, 2008, entitled
RBS to terminate all of these transactions. The Company denied
many of the allegations made in the RBS complaint and also
asserted various affirmative defenses and counterclaims against
RBS. This matter was stayed as a result of the Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings and subsequently resolved under the Plan.
In connection with the Companys emergence from
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and in full satisfaction
and settlement of RBS claims, the Company made a
distribution pursuant to the Plan to the agent under the
Companys pre-petition primary credit facility for the
benefit of, and the distribution to, RBS on account of its total
claim of approximately $35.9 million.
Although the Company records reserves for legal disputes,
product liability and warranty claims and environmental and
other matters in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of
these matters are inherently uncertain. Actual results may
differ significantly from current estimates.
The Company is involved from time to time in various other legal
proceedings and claims, including, without limitation,
commercial and contractual disputes, intellectual property
matters, personal injury claims, tax claims and employment
matters. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be
predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that any
of these other legal proceedings or claims in which the Company
is currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate,
will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Employees
Approximately 70% of the Companys employees are members of
industrial trade unions and are employed under the terms of
collective bargaining agreements. Collective bargaining
agreements covering approximately 76% of the Companys
unionized workforce of approximately 52,000 employees,
including 23% of the Companys unionized workforce in the
United States and Canada, are scheduled to expire in 2010.
Management does not anticipate any significant difficulties with
respect to the agreements as they are renewed.

The Companys operating leases cover principally buildings
and transportation equipment. Rent expense was
$12.7 million, $78.2 million, $109.8 million and
$110.2 million for the 2009 Successor Period, the 2009
Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
Historically, the Company has had three reportable operating
segments: seating, electrical power management and interior. The
seating segment includes seat systems and related components.
The electrical power management segment includes traditional
wiring and power management systems, as well as emerging high-
58
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to

power and hybrid electrical systems. The interior segment, which
has been divested, included instrument panels and cockpit
systems, headliners and overhead systems, door panels, flooring
and acoustic systems and other interior products. See
Note 6, Divestiture of Interior Business.
Each of the Companys operating segments reports its
results from operations and makes its requests for capital
expenditures directly to the chief operating decision-making
group. The economic performance of each operating segment is
driven primarily by automotive production volumes in the
geographic regions in which it operates, as well as by the
success of the vehicle platforms for which it supplies products.
Also, each operating segment operates in the competitive
tier I automotive supplier environment and is continually
working with its customers to manage costs and improve quality.
The Companys manufacturing facilities generally use
just-in-time
manufacturing techniques to produce and distribute their
automotive products. The Companys production processes
generally make use of unskilled labor, dedicated facilities,
sequential manufacturing processes and commodity raw materials.
The Other category includes unallocated costs related to
corporate headquarters, geographic headquarters and the
elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the
requirements of being classified as an operating segment.
The accounting policies of the Companys operating segments
are the same as those described in Note 4, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates the
performance of its operating segments based primarily on
(i) revenues from external customers, (ii) income
(loss) before goodwill impairment charges, divestiture of
Interior business, interest expense, other (income) expense,
reorganization items and fresh-start accounting adjustments,
provision (benefit) for income taxes and equity in net (income)
loss of affiliates (segment earnings) and
(iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less
capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization.
A summary of revenues from external customers and other
financial information by reportable operating segment is shown

A substantial majority of the Companys consolidated and
reportable operating segment revenues are from three automotive
manufacturing companies, with General Motors and Ford and their
respective affiliates accounting for 39%, 42% and 49% of the
Companys net sales in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Excluding net sales to Saab and Volvo, which are affiliates of
General Motors and Ford, General Motors and Ford accounted for
approximately 36%, 37% and 42% of the Companys net sales
in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The following is a summary
of the percentage of revenues from major customers:

Financial
Instruments
|
The carrying values of the Companys debt instruments vary
from their fair values. The fair values were determined by
reference to the quoted market prices of these securities. As of
December 31, 2009, the aggregate carrying value of the
Companys First Lien Facility and Second Lien Facility was
$925.0 million, as compared to an estimated fair value of
$932.6 million. As of December 31, 2008, the aggregate
carrying value of the Companys pre-petition primary credit
facility and senior notes was $3.5 billion, as compared to
an estimated fair value of $1.3 billion. As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the carrying values of the
Companys other financial instruments approximated their
fair values, which were determined based on related instruments
currently available to the Company for similar borrowings with
like maturities.
Certain of the Companys Asian subsidiaries periodically
factor their accounts receivable with financial institutions.
Such receivables are factored without recourse to the Company
and are excluded from accounts receivable in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. In 2008, certain of the
Companys European subsidiaries entered into extended
factoring agreements, which provided for aggregate purchases of
specified customer accounts receivable of up to
315 million. In January 2009, Standard &
Poors Ratings Services downgraded the Companys
corporate credit rating to CCC+ from B-, and as a result, in
February 2009, the use of these facilities was suspended. In
July 2009, these facilities were terminated in connection with
the Companys bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11. The
Company cannot provide any assurance that any other factoring
facilities will be available or utilized in the future. As of
December 31, 2009, there were no factored receivables. As
of December 31, 2008, the amount of factored receivables
was $143.8 million.

Asset-Backed
Securitization Facility
Prior to April 30, 2008, the Company and several of its
U.S. subsidiaries sold certain accounts receivable to a
wholly owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote special purpose
corporation (Lear ASC Corporation) under an asset-backed
securitization facility (the ABS facility). In turn,
Lear ASC Corporation transferred undivided interests in up to
$150 million of the receivables to bank-sponsored
commercial paper conduits. The ABS facility expired on
April 30, 2008, and the Company did not elect to renew the
existing facility.
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the
Company and its subsidiaries sold to Lear ASC Corporation
adjusted accounts receivable totaling $1.2 billion and
$3.5 billion, respectively, under the ABS facility and
recognized discounts and other related fees of $0.3 million
and $0.7 million, respectively. These discounts and other
related fees are included in other (income) expense, net in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company received an
annual servicing fee of 1.0% of the sold accounts receivable.
The conduit investors and Lear ASC Corporation had no recourse
to the other assets of the Company or its subsidiaries for the
failure of the accounts receivable obligors to pay timely on the
accounts receivable.
Certain cash flows received from and paid to Lear ASC
Corporation are shown below (in millions):

Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of
ASC
815-10-50,
Derivatives and Hedging Disclosure. This
guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding (a) how
and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted
for under existing GAAP and (c) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items affect an entitys financial
position, performance and cash flows. These provisions were
effective for the fiscal year and interim periods beginning
after November 15, 2008, and the required disclosures are
incorporated herein.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including
forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts
to manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange,
interest rates and commodity prices. The use of these derivative
financial instruments mitigates the Companys exposure to
these risks and the resulting variability of the Companys
operating results. The Company is not a party to leveraged
derivatives. On the date that a derivative contract is entered
into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a
hedge of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized
firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of a
forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be
received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (a
cash flow hedge) or (3) a hedge of a net investment in a
foreign operation (a net investment hedge).
For a fair value hedge, both the effective and ineffective
portions of the change in the fair value of the derivative are
recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement
of operations on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged
item attributable to the hedged risk. For a cash flow hedge, the
effective portion of the change in the fair value of the
derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss
in the consolidated balance sheet. When the underlying hedged
transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in
accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and
reflected in the consolidated statement of operations on the
same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to
the hedged risk. For a net investment hedge, the effective
portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is
recorded in cumulative translation adjustment, which is a
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the
consolidated balance sheet. In addition, for both cash flow and
net investment hedges, changes in the fair
63

Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
value of the derivative that are excluded from the
Companys effectiveness assessments and the ineffective
portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative are
recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement
of operations as other (income) expense, net.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships,
including the identification of the hedging instruments and the
related hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives
and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction.
Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current and
long-term assets and other current and long-term liabilities in
the consolidated balance sheet. The Company also formally
assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter,
whether a derivative used in a hedging transaction is highly
effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or the
cash flows of the hedged item. When it is determined that a
derivative ceases to be highly effective, the Company
discontinues hedge accounting.
In February 2009, RBS terminated certain foreign exchange,
interest rate and commodity swap contracts due to the
Companys default under its pre-petition primary credit
facility, and the Company de-designated such contracts for hedge
accounting purposes (Note 15, Commitments and
Contingencies). On June 30, 2009, the Company did not
make payments of $4.5 million, in aggregate, required in
connection with derivative transactions with certain other
counterparties. Further, the default under the pre-petition
primary credit facility (Note 10, Long-Term
Debt) and the Companys bankruptcy filing
(Note 2, Reorganization under Chapter 11)
resulted in events of default
and/or
termination events under certain outstanding foreign exchange
and interest rate contracts, and most of the counterparties
thereto provided the Company with notice of termination. In
addition, on September 11, 2009, the Company elected to
reject outstanding foreign exchange contracts with a
counterparty that had not previously terminated such contracts.
Based on the foregoing, the Company de-designated all of the
remaining foreign exchange and interest rate contracts,
previously accounted for as cash flow hedges, in the second
quarter of 2009. As the related forecasted transactions remained
probable, amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
loss were reclassified to earnings as the forecasted
transactions occurred. Liabilities related to the de-designated
contracts were resolved under the Plan. As a result of the
adoption of fresh-start accounting, all remaining amounts
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss were
eliminated. For further information on the liabilities resolved
under the Plan and the adoption of fresh-start accounting, see
Note 2, Reorganization under Chapter 11,
and Note 3, Fresh-Start Accounting.
As of December 31, 2009, there were no derivative financial
instruments outstanding. The Company intends to use derivative
financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options,
swaps and other derivative contracts to manage its exposures to
fluctuations in foreign exchange. The Company will evaluate and,
if appropriate, use derivative financial instruments, including
forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts
to manage its exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and
commodity prices in 2010.
Forward foreign exchange, futures and option
contracts The Company uses forward foreign exchange,
futures and option contracts to reduce the effect of
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on known foreign currency
exposures. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments are
intended to offset gains and losses on the hedged transaction in
an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies
hedged by the Company include the Mexican peso and various
European currencies. Forward foreign exchange, futures and
option contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges when the
hedged item is a forecasted transaction or relates to the
variability of cash flows to be received or paid. As of
December 31, 2009, there were no foreign exchange contracts
outstanding. As described above, all outstanding foreign
exchange contracts were de-designated
and/or
terminated in the second quarter of 2009. As of
December 31, 2008, contracts designated as cash flow hedges
with $483.6 million of notional amount were outstanding
with maturities of less than nine months. As of
December 31, 2008, the fair value of these contracts was
approximately negative $53.5 million. As of
December 31, 2008, other foreign currency derivative
contracts that did not qualify for hedge accounting with
$49.6 million of notional amount were outstanding. These
foreign currency derivative contracts consisted principally of
cash transactions
64

between three and thirty days, hedges of intercompany loans and
hedges of certain other balance sheet exposures. As of
December 31, 2008, the fair value of these contracts was
approximately $0.1 million.

Interest rate swap and other derivative contracts
The Company uses interest rate swap and other derivative
contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates. Interest rate swap and other derivative contracts which
fix the interest payments of certain variable rate debt
instruments or fix the market rate component of anticipated
fixed rate debt instruments are accounted for as cash flow
hedges. Interest rate swap contracts which hedge the change in
fair value of certain fixed rate debt instruments are accounted
for as fair value hedges. As of December 31, 2009, there
were no interest rate contracts outstanding. In February 2009,
the Company elected to settle certain of its outstanding
interest rate contracts with $435.0 million of notional
amount with a payment of $20.7 million. In addition, as
described above, all outstanding interest rate contracts were
de-designated
and/or
terminated in the second quarter of 2009. In addition, As of
December 31, 2008, contracts with $750.0 million of
notional amount were outstanding with maturities through
September 2011. All of these contracts modified the variable
rate characteristics of the Companys variable rate debt
instruments, which were generally set at either one-month or
three-month LIBOR rates, such that the interest rates did not
exceed a weighted average of 4.64%. As of December 31,
2008, the fair value of these contracts was approximately
negative $23.2 million.

Commodity swap contracts The Company uses derivative
instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in certain
commodity prices. These derivative instruments are utilized to
hedge forecasted inventory purchases and to the extent that they
qualify and meet hedge accounting criteria, they are accounted
for as cash flow hedges. Commodity swap contracts that are not
designated as cash flow hedges are marked to market with changes
in fair value recognized immediately in the consolidated
statements of operations (Note 4, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies). As of December 31,
2009, there were no commodity swap contracts outstanding. As a
result of the RBS terminations described above, all outstanding
commodity swap contracts were terminated in February 2009. As of
December 31, 2008, contracts with $40.9 million of
notional amount were outstanding with maturities of less than
twelve months. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of
these contracts was negative $18.0 million.

As of December 31, 2008, net losses of approximately
$80.8 million related to the Companys hedging
activities were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
loss. During the 2009 Predecessor Period and the
66
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, amounts recognized
in the consolidated statements of operations related to changes
in the fair value of cash flow hedges that were excluded from
the Companys effectiveness assessments and the ineffective
portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow and fair value
hedges were not material.
Non-U.S. dollar
financing transactions The Company designated its
previously outstanding Euro-denominated senior notes
(Note 10, Long-Term Debt) as a net investment
hedge of long-term investments in its Euro-functional
subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2008, the amount recorded
in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the effective
portion of the net investment hedge of foreign operations was
approximately negative $160.6 million. Although the
Euro-denominated senior notes were repaid on April 1, 2008,
this amount was to be included in accumulated other
comprehensive loss until the Company liquidated its related
investment in its designated foreign operations. As a result of
the adoption of fresh-start accounting, all remaining amounts
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss were eliminated
(Note 3, Fresh-Start Accounting).
Fair
Value Measurements
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and
liabilities and certain of its nonfinancial assets and
liabilities that are measured
and/or
disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of
January 1, 2008. The Company adopted these provisions for
other nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured
and/or
disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of
January 1, 2009. This guidance defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The effects of
adoption were not significant.
This guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price,
defined as a market-based measurement that represents the amount
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the
following three valuation techniques:
Market: This approach uses prices and other
relevant information generated by market transactions involving
identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Income: This approach uses valuation
techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value
amount based on current market expectations.
Cost: This approach is based on the amount
that would be required to replace the service capacity of an
asset (replacement cost).
This guidance prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used in the
valuation techniques described above into a three-tier fair
value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs, such as
quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted market
prices included in Level 1, that are observable either
directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect
the entitys own assumptions about the exit price of the
asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may be used if there is
little or no market data for the asset or liability at the
measurement date.
The Company discloses fair value measurements and the related
valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for its
assets and liabilities that are measured or disclosed at fair
value.

Prior to the de-designations and terminations described above,
the Company determined the fair value of its derivative
contracts using quoted market prices to calculate the forward
values and then discounted such forward values to the present
value. The discount rates used were based on quoted bank deposit
or swap interest rates. If a derivative contract was in a
liability position, these discount rates were adjusted by an
estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market
participants purchasing these contracts from the Companys
counterparties. To estimate this credit spread, the Company used
significant assumptions and factors other than quoted market
rates, which resulted in the classification of its derivative
liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

instruments measured at fair value using significant

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring
basis In addition to items that are measured at fair
value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets
and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which
are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair
value measurements are generally determined using unobservable
inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further
information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on
a non-recurring basis, see Note 3, Fresh-Start

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
amended ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, with
Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2009-16,
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, to,
among other things, eliminate the concept of qualifying special
purpose entities, provide additional sale accounting
requirements and require enhanced disclosures. The provisions of
this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after November 15, 2009. The effects of adoption are not
expected to be significant as the Companys previous ABS
facility expired in 2008. The Company will assess the impact of
this update on any future securitizations.
The FASB amended ASC
820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to provide
additional guidance on disclosure requirements and estimating
fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset
or liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal
market activity (FASB Staff Position (FSP)
No. 157-4,
Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased
and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly). This
amendment requires
69
Lear
Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
interim disclosure of the inputs and valuation techniques used
to measure fair value. The provisions of this amendment are
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The effects of adoption were not significant.
The FASB amended ASC
825-10,
Financial Instruments, to extend the annual
disclosure requirements for financial instruments to interim
reporting periods (FSP
No. 107-1
and APB
28-1,
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments). The provisions of this amendment are
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The effects of adoption were not
significant. For additional disclosures related to the fair
value of the Companys debt instruments, see Note 17,
Financial Instruments.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities The FASB
amended ASC 810, Consolidations, with ASU
2009-17,
Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises
Involved with Variable Interest Entities. ASU
2009-17
significantly changes the model for determining whether an
entity is the primary beneficiary and should thus consolidate a
variable interest entity. In addition, this update requires
additional disclosures and an ongoing assessment of whether a
variable interest entity should be consolidated. The provisions
of this update are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has
ownership interests in consolidated and non-consolidated
variable interest entities and is currently evaluating the
impact of this update on its financial statements. The Company
does not expect the effects of adoption to be significant.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits The FASB
amended ASC
715-20,
Compensation Retirement Benefits
Defined Benefit Plans General, to require
additional disclosures regarding assets held in an
employers defined benefit pension or other postretirement
plan (FSP No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures
about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets). The provisions
of this amendment are effective for annual reporting periods
ending after December 15, 2009. Certain of the
Companys defined benefit pension plans are funded. The
effects of adoption were not significant. For additional
disclosures related to the Companys defined benefit
pension plans, see Note 12, Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefit Plans.
FASB Codification ASC 105, Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, establishes the ASC as the sole
source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for nongovernmental entities, with the exception of
rules and interpretive releases by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The provisions of ASC 105 are effective for interim
and annual accounting periods ending after September 15,
2009. With the exception of changes to financial statements and
other disclosures referencing pre-ASC accounting pronouncements,
the effects of adoption were not significant.
Revenue Recognition The FASB amended ASC 605,
Revenue Recognition, with ASU
2009-13,
Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. If a revenue
arrangement has multiple deliverables, this update requires the
allocation of revenue to the separate deliverables based on
relative selling prices. In addition, this update requires
additional ongoing disclosures about an entitys
multiple-element revenue arrangements. The provisions of this
update are effective no later than January 1, 2011. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its
financial statements.
