PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Visteon Corporation is a leading, global supplier of automotive systems, modules and components. We sell our products primarily to global vehicle manufacturers, and also sell to the worldwide aftermarket for replacement and vehicle appearance enhancement parts. We operate in three business segments: Comfort, Communication & Safety; Dynamics & Energy Conversion; and Glass.

Our world headquarters is located in Dearborn, Michigan. We also maintain regional headquarters in Cologne, Germany (Europe/ Africa/ Middle East region), Tokyo, Japan (Asia-Pacific region), and Sao Paulo, Brazil (South America region). We maintain technical facilities/sales offices and plants in 25 countries throughout the world.

Ford Motor Company established Visteon as a wholly-owned subsidiary in January 2000, and subsequently transferred to Visteon the assets and liabilities comprising Ford’s automotive components and systems business. Ford completed its spin-off of Visteon on June 28, 2000. Visteon is a Delaware corporation, incorporated on January 5, 2000.

Business Segments

Business segment financial information can be found on pages 39-41 of this Annual Report on Form 10K (Note 15, “Segment Information”, of our Consolidated Financial Statements).

Comfort, Communication & Safety

Through our Comfort, Communication & Safety segment, Visteon is a leading global supplier of automotive climate control, interior/ exterior and telematics/ multimedia systems, modules and components. Products within this segment include heating, ventilation and air conditioning components and systems; powertrain cooling components and systems; cockpit modules, seating and interior trim; exterior and interior lighting; bumpers; fascias; and in-vehicle entertainment, driver information, navigation, wireless communication, and safety and security electronics.

Dynamics & Energy Conversion

Visteon is, through our Dynamics & Energy Conversion segment, a leading global supplier of automotive energy transformation and chassis systems, modules and components. Products within this segment include products for energy management, electrical conversion, fuel storage and delivery (such as electronic engine controls, alternators, starters and fuel tanks) and distributed power generation; and axle and driveline, steering and chassis products.

Glass

Our Glass segment is composed of our vehicle glazing product group, which produces glass products for Ford and aftermarket customers, and our commercial glass product group, which produces float glass for commercial architecture. The Glass segment is divided into two product groups: vehicle glazing and commercial glass.

In December 2000, Visteon recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment write-down of $220 million ($138 million after-tax) to reduce the net book value of the assets associated with the Glass segment to estimated fair value. The write-down reflects revised operating projections following the end of discussions regarding a joint venture involving the business, which reflected continuing pressures on costs and prices. Visteon remains committed to finding solutions for the Glass segment during the coming months.

Customers and Competitors

Visteon sells its products primarily to global vehicle manufacturers. In addition, we sell products for use as aftermarket and service parts to automotive original equipment manufacturers and others for resale through their own independent distribution networks.

Vehicle Manufacturers. Visteon does business with all of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers. Ford is our largest customer. In 2000, our sales to Ford accounted for about 84% of our total sales. Our top five customers other than Ford accounted for 5.8% of our total 2000 sales. Mazda Motor Corporation, of which Ford owns a 33.4% equity interest, is one of our top five non-Ford customers, accounting for 0.7% of our 2000 sales. In 2000, 37% of the new business we were awarded for delivery in future years was non-Ford business.

Most of our products are sold under purchase agreements that require us to provide price reductions each year. In turn, Visteon has an aggressive cost reduction program that focuses on reducing total costs. These cost reductions are expected to offset customer price reductions.

Aftermarket. We sell products to the worldwide aftermarket as replacement parts or as customized products, such as body appearance packages and in-car entertainment systems, for current production and older vehicles. In 2000, our aftermarket sales were $897 million, representing 4.6% of our total sales. We currently sell 54% of these products to the independent aftermarket and 46% to Ford’s Automotive Consumer Service Group, the principal aftermarket sales organization of Ford. In 2000, aftermarket sales of our glass products were $180 million, representing less than 1% of our total sales and about 20% of our total aftermarket sales.

Competition. The principal competitors of our Comfort, Communication and Safety segment include Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation, Denso Corporation, Johnson Controls, Inc., Lear Corporation, Magna International, Inc., Valéo S.A., Mannesman VDO AG and Nippon Seiki Co., Ltd. The principal competitors of our Dynamics & Energy Conversion segment include American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH, Dana Corporation, Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation, Denso Corporation, Siemens AG and TRW, Inc. The principal competitors of our Glass segment include Asahi Glass Company Limited, AFG Industries, Inc., Pilkington Plc. and PPG Industries, Inc.

International

Financial information about sales and net property by major geographic area can be found on page 41 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (Note 15, “Segment Information”, of our Consolidated Financial Statements).

Seasonality

Our business is moderately seasonal because our largest North American customers typically halt operations for about two weeks in July and about one week in December. In addition, third quarter automotive production traditionally is lower as new models enter production. Accordingly, our third and fourth quarter results may reflect these trends.

Product Research and Development

Visteon’s research and development efforts are intended to maintain our leadership position in the industry and provide us with a competitive edge as we seek additional business with new and existing customers. Total research and development expenditures were $1.2 billion in 2000, $1.1 billion in 1999 and $1.0 billion in 1998.

Raw Materials

Raw materials used by Visteon in our manufactured products primarily include steel, aluminum, resins, precious metals and urethane chemicals. All of the materials used are generally readily available from numerous sources except precious metals. Precious metals (for catalytic converter production) are purchased from Ford suppliers on a directed basis, and Ford assumes the risk of assuring supply. We do not anticipate significant interruption in the supply of raw materials that would have a material impact on our business.

Workforce

Visteon’s workforce as of December 31, 2000, included approximately 82,000 persons, of whom approximately 18,000 were salaried and 64,000 were hourly. Of the hourly workforce, approximately 24,000 are Ford employees in the United States, who are covered under the Ford UAW Master Agreement. Under an agreement between Ford and Visteon, we have agreed to reimburse Ford for the cost of the Ford employees working in our facilities. This includes amounts (limited to $50 million per year in each of 2000-2004) for profit sharing, which may be based in whole or in part on Ford’s profits. The present Ford UAW agreement expires in September 2003.

In Europe, all Ford employees (both hourly and salaried) working in Visteon facilities at the time of the spin-off from Ford became Visteon employees. Visteon has agreed that, during their employment and retirement, Visteon will provide these employees with wages, benefits and other terms of employment that closely reflect those required to be provided by Ford to its employees in the respective countries. Visteon’s national agreement with the British trade unions expires in November 2002, and its national agreement with the German trade unions expires in February 2002.

Intellectual Property

Visteon owns significant intellectual property, including a large number of patents, copyrights and trade secrets, and is involved in numerous licensing arrangements. Although the company’s intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining its competitive position in a number of the markets it serves, no single patent, copyright, trade secret or license, or group of related patents, copyrights, trade secrets or licenses, is, in the opinion of management, of such value to Visteon that its business would be materially affected by the expiration or termination thereof. The company’s general policy is to apply for patents on an ongoing basis in the United States and appropriate other countries on its significant patentable developments.

Visteon also views its name and mark as significant to its business as a whole. In addition, the company owns a number of other trade names and marks applicable to certain of its businesses and products that it views as important to such businesses and products.

Environmental Matters

Visteon is subject to the requirements of federal, state, local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge and waste management. Visteon is also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at properties it presently owns or operates and at third party disposal or treatment facilities to which these sites sent or arranged to send hazardous wastes. Further, in connection with our spin-off from Ford, Visteon and Ford have generally agreed that we are liable for all future claims relating to the sites that have been transferred to us and our operation of those sites, including off-site disposal. Visteon and Ford have also agreed on a division of liability for, and responsibility for management and remediation of, existing environmental claims.

We are aware of contamination at some of our properties and have agreed to an allocation of liability at various third party superfund sites at which Ford has been named as a potentially responsible party. We are in various stages of investigation and cleanup at these sites. At December 31, 2000, Visteon had recorded a reserve of $11.1 million for this environmental investigation and cleanup.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal executive offices are located in Dearborn, Michigan. We occupy this facility, as well as a number of other facilities, under arrangements with Ford.

We also maintain regional headquarters for our Europe/ Africa/ Middle East region in Cologne, Germany, for our Asia-Pacific region in Tokyo, Japan and for our South America region in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We maintain 54 technical facilities/ sales offices and 85 owned and leased plants in 25 countries throughout the world. The following table shows the total square footage of our principal owned and leased manufacturing facilities by region as of December 31, 2000:


				Total
		Number of		Manufacturing
		Manufacturing		Sites
Region		Sites		Square Footage

				(in millions)




North America			33		27.4




Europe			32		10.0




South America			3		0.9




Asia-Pacific			17		4.3

	Total		85		42.6

Our Comfort, Communication & Safety segment operates in 59 manufacturing facilities throughout the world, of which 42 are outside of North America and 12 are non-unionized. Our Dynamics & Energy Conversion segment operates in 21 manufacturing facilities throughout the world, of which 10 are outside of North America and 12 are non-unionized. Our Glass segment operates in five manufacturing facilities in North America and two are non-unionized.

In some locations, we have combined a manufacturing facility, technical center and/or customer service center and sales office at a single multi-purpose site. The following table shows the number of various types of facilities by region as of December 31, 2000:


						Customer
		Manufacturing		Technical		Centers and
Region		Sites		Centers		Sales Offices

North America			33		14		11




Europe			32		8		13




South America			3		0		1




Asia-Pacific			17		1		6

	Total		85		23		31

We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate, and have sufficient productive capacity, to meet our present and anticipated needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in routine litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. We do not believe that any litigation to which we are currently a party would, if determined adversely to us, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS — (Continued)

In connection with our spin-off from Ford, Ford has retained liability for all product liability, warranty or recall claims that involve parts made or sold by us for 1996 or earlier model year Ford vehicles. Visteon is responsible for these types of claims relating to 1997 or later model year Ford vehicles, subject to Ford’s global terms and conditions, with the understanding that we will be treated by Ford as any other third party supplier, and in accordance with Ford’s customary treatment of other suppliers. We have assumed liability for all product liability, warranty or recall claims relating to parts made by us and delivered to third parties other than Ford at any time.

“EBITDA” is defined as income before provision for interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairment charges, equity in net income of affiliated companies and minority interests. EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but is presented because we believe it is a widely accepted indicator of our ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect funds available for dividends, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. In addition, EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.


ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section summarizes significant factors affecting the company’s consolidated operating results, financial condition and liquidity for the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. This section should be read in conjunction with the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Visteon Corporation (“Visteon”) is a leading, global supplier of automotive systems, modules and components. We sell our products primarily to global vehicle manufacturers, and also to the worldwide aftermarket for replacement and vehicle appearance enhancement parts. We operate in three business segments: Comfort, Communication & Safety; Dynamics & Energy Conversion; and Glass.

Our world headquarters is located in Dearborn, Michigan. We also maintain regional headquarters in Cologne, Germany (Europe/ Africa/ Middle East region), Tokyo, Japan (Asia-Pacific region) and Sao Paulo, Brazil (South America region). We maintain technical facilities/sales offices and plants in 25 countries throughout the world.

Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) established Visteon as a wholly-owned subsidiary in January 2000, and subsequently transferred to Visteon the assets and liabilities comprising Ford’s automotive components and systems business. Ford completed its spin-off of Visteon on June 28, 2000.

Worldwide sales were $19.5 billion in 2000, compared with 1999 sales of $19.4 billion. Our worldwide net income was $270 million in 2000, compared with 1999 actual net income of $735 million. The decrease in net income compared with 1999 reflects price reductions and a non-cash impairment write-down in 2000 associated with our Glass segment, offset partially by cost reductions achieved in material and manufacturing costs. The 2000 price reductions included a one-time price realignment of 5% that resulted from a joint Ford-Visteon competitive pricing study intended to make Visteon’s prices competitive with third party competitors. The Glass impairment write-down of $138 million after taxes reflects an adjustment to the net book value of assets associated with the Glass segment based on revised estimates of the fair value of the Glass assets. We presently are evaluating alternatives for the Glass business and are committed to finding an acceptable business solution. Excluding the 2000 Glass impairment charge, 2000 net income would have been $408 million, an increase of $127 million compared with 1999 pro forma net income of $281 million. For further discussion of pro forma adjustments, please refer to “Results of Operations — Pro Forma 1999 Results” below.

Our focus during 2000 was to solidly establish Visteon as an independent company. We believe we achieved this goal. We also achieved our 2000 milestones:


	•	Earnings — Excluding the one-time Glass impairment charge, 2000 earnings were $408 million, up 45% compared with 1999 pro forma levels. Our milestone was to improve earnings by 35% before any major unusual factors.

	•	New Business — Visteon exceeded its milestone of securing $2.5 billion in new business in 2000. The company won a record $2.6 billion in annual new business. Of the new business won, 37% was non-Ford and 31% was outside of North America.

	•	Cost Reduction — We achieved cost savings totaling $590 million. This exceeded our milestone by $140 million.

	•	Operating Cash Flow — Our operating cash flow adjusted for acquisitions, dividends, and independence actions totaled $225 million in 2000. This exceeded Visteon’s milestone, which was to achieve positive operating cash flow in 2000.


ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)


	•	Quality — Visteon improved 2000 quality by 44%, exceeding our milestone of a 30% improvement.

Results of Operations

2000 Compared with 1999

The following table shows the increase/(decrease) in full year 2000 sales for each of our segments:


						2000
		Year Ended				over/(under)
		December 31,				1999

		2000		1999		Amount


		(in millions)




Comfort, Communication & Safety		$	9,782	$	9,377	$	405




Dynamics & Energy Conversion			8,939		9,216		(277	)




Glass			746		773		(27	)

	Total sales	$	19,467	$	19,366	$	101

Sales in 2000 totaled $19.5 billion compared with $19.4 billion in 1999, an increase of $101 million or 0.5%. Sales for our Comfort, Communication & Safety segment were $9.8 billion, compared with $9.4 billion in 1999. Sales for our Dynamics & Energy Conversion segment were $8.9 billion, down $277 million or 3% from 1999. Glass sales were $746 million in 2000, compared with $773 million in 1999. The increase in sales for our Comfort, Communication & Safety segment reflected the full year impact of about $620 million associated with the consolidations of prior year acquisitions, including Halla Climate Control Corporation, Duck Yang Industry Co., Ltd., and the automotive interiors division of Compagnie Plastic Omnium. In addition, sales for our Comfort, Communication & Safety segment also increased due to increased Ford sales volume. These increases were offset partially by price reductions granted to Ford and other customers, and unfavorable currency fluctuations. The decrease in sales for the Dynamics & Energy Conversion and Glass segments reflected primarily price reductions granted to Ford and other customers, offset partially by increased Ford sales volumes. Price reductions granted to Ford in 2000 included a one-time 5% price reduction on production parts that Visteon was supplying to Ford, based on a market pricing review conducted by Ford and Visteon, and a 3.5% productivity price reduction on those same parts.

The following table shows the change in net income/(loss) for each of our segments:

Net income in 2000 totaled $270 million compared with $735 million in 1999, a decrease of $465 million or 63.3%. The decline reflected primarily price reductions granted to Ford and other customers and a non-cash impairment write-down of our Glass segment of $138 million after taxes. Net income for the Comfort, Communication & Safety segment was $302 million in 2000,

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

down $120 million from 1999. The reduction reflected primarily price reductions and unfavorable currency fluctuations, offset partially by higher Ford sales volume and the full year impact of prior year’s acquisitions, and lower material and manufacturing cost. Net income for our Dynamics & Energy Conversion segment was $154 million in 2000, a decrease of $190 million compared with 1999. The decline reflected primarily price reductions, offset partially by material and manufacturing cost savings. The net loss for our Glass segment was $156 million compared with net income of $3 million a year ago. The decline reflected primarily the non-cash impairment write-down of $138 million after taxes and price reductions, offset partially by manufacturing cost reductions.

Sales in 1999 totaled $19.4 billion compared with $17.8 billion in 1998, an increase of $1.6 billion or 9%. Sales for our Comfort, Communication & Safety segment were $9.4 billion, compared with $8.3 billion in 1998, an increase of 12.5%. Sales for the Dynamics & Energy Conversion segment were $9.2 billion, up $543 million or 6.3% from 1998. Glass sales were $773 million in 1999, compared with $752 million in 1998, an increase of 2.8%. The increase in sales for each segment reflected primarily higher sales to Ford and other customers. In addition, sales for our Comfort, Communication & Safety segment increased by $415 million because of the consolidation of Halla Climate Control Corporation and by $260 million as a result of our June 1999 acquisition of the automotive interiors division of Compagnie Plastic Omnium. These increases were offset partially by price reductions granted to Ford and our other customers.

Net income for our Comfort, Communication & Safety segment was $422 million in 1999, down $30 million from 1998. The reduction reflected primarily price reductions and increased costs associated with engineering future products, offset largely by material and manufacturing cost reductions and to a lesser extent by higher sales volume. Net income for our Dynamics & Energy Conversion segment was $344 million in 1999, an increase of $50 million, reflecting lower costs and higher sales volume, offset partially by price reductions. Net income for our Glass segment was $3 million, an improvement of $18 million from 1998. The improvement was

accounted for primarily by lower costs and higher sales volume, offset partially by reduced prices.

Pro Forma 1999 Results

We have prepared unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, which appear in the “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our prospectus dated June 13, 2000, as filed with the SEC on June 14, 2000. The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for 1999 provides additional information on our operations as if the spin-off and our separation from Ford had occurred as of January 1, 1999. The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income does not purport to be indicative of what our operations actually would have been had these events occurred as of that date.

In connection with the preparation of the unaudited pro forma statement of income, we made the following significant adjustments:


	•	Our sales in 1999 would have decreased by about $690 million, to $18.7 billion had the one-time 5% price reduction effective as of January 1, 2000 been in effect for 1999. The 5% reduction, which is based on a market pricing review conducted by Ford and us, was designed to make our prices competitive with third party competitors.

	•	Our costs of sales in 1999 would have decreased by about $142 million, to about $17.4 billion, primarily as a result of a $146 million decrease in compensation for our hourly workforce. This adjustment reflects our agreement with Ford that our profit sharing payment liability, based on Ford’s profits and paid to Ford workers that are assigned to us, will be limited to $50 million per year in each of the years 2000-2004.

	•	Our selling, administrative and other expenses in 1999 would have increased by about $102 million, to $776 million, principally as a result of management’s operating Visteon as a stand-alone company. These added costs are comprised of incremental corporate costs and, to a lesser extent, incremental insurance and risk management costs.

	•	Our interest income in 1999 would have decreased by about $44 million, to $35 million, as a result of reductions in our pro forma cash balances. Because of an increase in our average outstanding debt levels, our interest expense would have increased by about $33 million, to $176 million.

	•	As a result of these and other adjustments, our net income in 1999 would have decreased from $735 million to $281 million.

Recent Factors that May Affect Future Results

Excluding the 2000 fourth quarter Glass impairment write-down, Visteon’s 2000 second half results were down from strong 2000 first half results (See Note 16 “Summary Quarterly Financial Data”, of our Consolidated Financial Statements, on page 41 of this report). We expect automotive industry conditions in 2001 to be consistent with conditions existing late in 2000. Lower automotive industry volume, the general slowing of the U.S. economy, continued price pressures on vehicle manufacturers and automotive suppliers, and possible customer program deferrals are contributing to an uncertain outlook. Although most underlying fundamentals remain strong, the impact of the vehicle manufacturer’s ability to rebalance inventories and the trend of retail sales are important unknowns that may impact 2001, particularly early in the year.

In December 2000, we announced that we would be streamlining our organization to improve our customer focus, while maintaining our strong heritage as a manufacturing and engineering


ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

organization. This organizational realignment is presently in process and is expected to be completed in early 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our balance sheet reflects cash and marketable securities of $1.5 billion and total debt of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2000, and cash and marketable securities of $1.8 billion and total debt of $2.3 billion at December 31, 1999. All debt at December 31, 2000, was owed to third parties. Total debt at December 31, 1999, consisted of $1.1 billion owed to Ford under an intra-company revolving loan agreement, about $800 million owed by Visteon subsidiaries to Ford subsidiaries, and the remainder owed to third parties.

Total debt exceeded cash and marketable securities by $542 million at December 31, 2000, and by $470 million at December 31, 1999. Our ratio of total debt to total capital, which consists of total debt plus equity, was 37% at December 31, 2000, and 61% at December 31, 1999. The change in the ratio of total debt to total capital is primarily due to effects associated with our spin-off from Ford and lower debt levels.

During 2000, we established a commercial paper program providing up to $2 billion of borrowing ability. We also entered into financing arrangements with third-party lenders to provide up to a total of $2 billion of contractually committed, unsecured revolving credit facilities. These facilities are evenly split between 364-day and 5-year commitments, maturing in June 2001 and June 2005, respectively. Any borrowings under the revolving credit facilities would bear interest based on a variable interest rate option selected at the time of borrowing. We intend to use the commercial paper program as our primary short-term financing source and do not intend to exceed $2 billion of aggregate borrowing under the commercial paper program and revolving credit facilities. As of December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance under our commercial paper program was $352 million, and we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.

On August 3, 2000, we completed a public offering of unsecured term debt securities totaling $1.2 billion with maturities of five years and ten years. The proceeds of the offering were used to repay an amount previously outstanding under an unsecured, third-party financing arrangement. We have about $800 million available under a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission through which we are able to issue a variety of debt instruments.

Our intra-year cash fluctuations are impacted by the volume and timing of worldwide vehicle production. Examples of seasonal effects in the industry include the shut-down of operations for about two weeks in July, the subsequent ramp-up of new model production and the additional one-week shut-down in December by our primary North American customers. We believe that we have sufficient financial flexibility to fund these fluctuations and to access the capital markets on satisfactory terms and in adequate amounts, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. We expect cash flow from operations and borrowings to fund requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, pension funding, dividend and debt service for at least the next year.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash flows used by operating activities totaled $526 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared with net cash flows provided by operating activities of $2.5 billion and $1.4 billion in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in 2000 was caused primarily by


ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

changes in payables, receivables and other working capital items resulting primarily from effects associated with our spin-off from Ford.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $842 million, $1.5 billion and $940 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The primary use of cash for investing activities in each year was for capital expenditures. In addition, in 1999 Visteon acquired the automotive interiors division of Compagnie Plastic Omnium, headquartered in France, for about $479 million, and increased our ownership in Halla Climate Control Corporation to 70% by purchasing an additional 35% interest, for $84 million. In 1998, we made several acquisitions totaling $108 million, including PABA, Inc. (now Visteon Climate Control Systems), two manufacturing sites in Poland, and Zexel Innovation.

Our capital expenditures were $793 million in 2000, $876 million in 1999 and $861 million in 1998, with about 46% in each year spent on Comfort, Communications & Safety and about 46% in each year spent on Dynamics & Energy Conversion, and the remaining expenditures attributed to the Glass Division. We plan to manage our capital spending in 2001 so that it is about equal to or below 2000 levels. Our capital expenditures are used primarily for machinery and equipment to support our customers’ new product programs. Our capital expenditure program promotes our growth-oriented business strategy by investing in core areas, where efficiencies and profitability can be enhanced, and by targeting funds for new innovative technologies, where long-term growth opportunities can be realized. Capital expenditures also will be used for expansion into new markets outside of the United States and the continued implementation of lean manufacturing strategies.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $924 million and $290 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively, compared with cash used in financing activities of $234 million in 1998. Cash provided by financing activities in 2000 included primarily proceeds from issuance of commercial paper and the net increase of other third party debt. Proceeds from our offering of unsecured term debt securities were used to repay the amount previously outstanding under an unsecured, short-term financing arrangement. Cash provided by financing activities in 1999 included primarily additional debt associated with acquisition activities.

On January 10, 2001, the Visteon Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.06 per share on the company’s common stock, payable on March 1, 2001 to shareholders of record as of January 30, 2001. The dividend declared by the Visteon Board of Directors on October 11, 2000, was paid on December 1, 2000.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

Employees and retirees participate in various pension, health care and life insurance benefit plans sponsored by Visteon and Visteon subsidiaries. Benefit plan liabilities and related asset transfers between Visteon and Ford in connection with our separation from Ford are covered by various employee benefits agreements.

Ford retained pension and postretirement health care and life insurance obligations for certain Visteon-designated employees of Ford who retired prior to the spin-off. In addition, Ford retained the pension obligation related to benefits earned through the spin-off date for certain active U.S. salaried Visteon employees that met specific age and years of service requirements. Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW hourly employees participate in the Ford-UAW Retirement Plan,


ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

sponsored by Ford. By agreement, Visteon compensates Ford for the pension expense incurred by Ford for these employees. Also by agreement, Visteon is required to pre-fund postretirement health care and life insurance benefit obligations related to Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW hourly employees as well as certain salaried employees. For the hourly employees, the required pre-funding is over a 15 year period beginning in 2006, for salaried employees, over a 10 year period beginning in 2011. The annual pre-funding requirement during this period will be determined based upon amortization of the unfunded liability at the beginning of the period, plus annual expense. In December 2000, the company pre-funded a portion of this obligation by contributing $25 million to a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust.

New Accounting Standards and Changes

New Standards

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 1998. SFAS 133 (as amended by SFAS 138) establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities, and must be adopted beginning January 1, 2001. It requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measurement of those instruments at fair value. We have determined that the impact of adopting the new standard on Visteon’s financial condition and results of operations will not be material.

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB No. 101”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” was issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 1999. SAB No. 101 provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements, and must be implemented by the fourth quarter of 2000. The implementation of SAB No. 101 did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Changes

Beginning in 1999, we changed from an accelerated method to the straight-line method for amortization of special tooling. This change was made to recognize that special tooling retains its value more uniformly over time.

Beginning in 1999, we also modified our plant and equipment retirement policy to reflect gains and losses in income in the year of retirement. Previously, the cost of retired assets, net of salvage proceeds, was charged to accumulated depreciation. The change in accounting principle for plant and equipment retirement was made to better reflect the results of asset disposal/sale decisions.

Adoption of these accounting changes did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking Information

This section contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek” and “estimate” signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions but rather are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Some of these risks and uncertainties are and will be identified as “Risk Factors” in our SEC filings. See the “Risk Factors” section of our Report on Form 8-K as filed with the


ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

SEC on February 27, 2001. The risks and uncertainties so identified are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely affect us. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For these reasons, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Visteon is exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates, and certain commodity prices. To manage these risks, we use a combination of fixed price contracts with suppliers, cost pass-through arrangements with customers, and financial derivatives. We maintain risk management controls to monitor the risks and the related hedging. Derivative positions are examined using analytical techniques such as market value and sensitivity analysis. Derivative instruments are not used for speculative purposes, as per clearly defined risk management policies.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, subsidiary dividends, and investments in subsidiaries. Our on-going solution is to reduce the exposure through operating actions. We use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of our exposure.

As of December 31, 2000, our primary foreign exchange exposure includes the euro, the Mexican peso, and the Canadian dollar. Because of the mix between our costs and our revenues in various regions, we generally are exposed to weakening of the euro and to strengthening of the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar. For transactions in these currencies, we utilize a strategy of partial coverage. As of December 31, 2000, our coverage for projected transactions in these currencies was about 50% for 2001. As of December 31, 2000, a 10% adverse change in exchange rates from prevailing rates for all of these currencies would result in an adverse impact on net income of about $20 million on an annual basis. The impact of a comparable change in exchange rates on net income as of December 31, 1999, would not be materially different.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2000 about two-thirds of our borrowings were on a fixed rate basis. The remainder of Visteon’s borrowing is on a variable rate basis and is subject to changes in short-term interest rates. We believe our overall exposure to changes in interest rates is not material. Because our exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited, we did not enter into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk during 2000.

Commodity Risk

We have entered into long term agreements with some of our key suppliers of non-ferrous metals to protect Visteon from changes in market prices. In addition, some products Visteon manufactures and sells to Ford containing non-ferrous metals are price adjusted monthly based on metal content and market price. Precious metals (for catalytic converter production) are purchased through a Ford directed-source; Ford accepts all market price risk. As a result, we have no need presently to enter into financial derivatives to hedge these potential exposures. The risk to these exposures may be managed with the use of financial derivatives if, in the future, we enter into floating price contracts with our key suppliers.


ITEM 7A.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK — (Continued)

Natural gas is a commodity Visteon uses in its manufacturing processing, related primarily to glass production, as well as for heating our facilities. Historical risk has been low for this commodity because of plentiful supply and a stable market over the last 5 years. It has been Visteon’s practice to purchase short term, fixed-priced contracts for approximately 50% of our usage. Based on recent natural gas price volatility in the United States, we are partially exposed to market price risk. As of December 31, 2000, a 10% adverse change in natural gas prices would result in an adverse impact on net income of about $6 million on an annual basis.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To Board of Directors and Stockholders

Visteon Corporation

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(1) on page 18 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Visteon Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Visteon Corporation (“Visteon”) is a leading, global supplier of automotive systems, modules and components. Visteon sells products primarily to global vehicle manufacturers, and also sells to the worldwide aftermarket for replacement and vehicle appearance enhancement parts. Visteon became an independent company when Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) established Visteon as a wholly-owned subsidiary in January 2000 and subsequently transferred to Visteon the assets and liabilities comprising Ford’s automotive components and systems business. Ford completed its spin-off of Visteon on June 28, 2000 (the “spin-off”). Prior to incorporation, Visteon operated as Ford’s automotive components and systems business.

In connection with Visteon’s separation from Ford, Visteon and Ford entered into a series of agreements outlining the business relationship between the two companies following the spin-off which are further discussed in Note 11.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2000 and for periods subsequent to the spin-off include the accounts of Visteon and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of Visteon for periods prior to the spin-off reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows of the businesses that were considered part of the Visteon business of Ford.

Operating costs and expenses for periods prior to the spin-off from Ford include allocations of general corporate overhead related to Ford’s corporate headquarters and common support activities including information systems, product development, accounting and finance, corporate insurance programs, treasury, facilities, legal and human resources. These costs were assessed to Visteon based on usage or similar allocation methodologies. Although Visteon believes the allocations and charges for such services were reasonable, the costs of these services charged to Visteon are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if Visteon had been a stand-alone entity or what they would be in the future.

NOTE 2. Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intra-Visteon transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Companies that are 20% to 50% owned by Visteon are included and accounted for on an equity basis in these statements. Use of estimates and assumptions as determined by management are required in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recorded when products are shipped. Frequently, design modifications to products produced are implemented in advance of completing the process for negotiating a change in prices. These retroactive price adjustments are measured and included in revenue in the period in which Visteon reaches agreement with its customers.

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

NOTE 2. Accounting Policies — (Continued)

Other Costs

Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $29 million in 2000, $42 million in 1999 and $39 million in 1998.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and were $1,198 million in 2000, $1,115 million in 1999 and $1,004 million in 1998.

Pre-production design and development costs relating to long-term supply arrangements are expensed as incurred.

Income Per Share of Common Stock

Basic income per share of Common Stock is calculated by dividing the income attributable to Common Stock by the average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the applicable period, adjusted for restricted stock. For purposes of the earnings per share calculations, 130 million shares of common stock are treated as outstanding for periods prior to the spin-off from Ford. The calculation of diluted income per share of Common Stock takes into account the effect of dilutive potential common stock, such as stock options and other stock-based awards.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Visteon has operations in every major region of the world and is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the company as an integral part of the company’s overall risk management program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effect on the company’s results. Visteon’s primary commodity-price exposures are aluminum and copper, which are managed substantially through fixed-price contracts with suppliers. The company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the exposures in exchange rates and interest rates. All derivative financial instruments are classified as “held for purposes other than trading.” Company policy specifically prohibits the use of leveraged derivatives or use of any derivatives for speculative purposes.

Visteon’s primary foreign currency exposures, in terms of net corporate exposure are in the euro, Mexican Peso and Canadian Dollar. Agreements to manage foreign currency exposure typically would include forward contracts, swaps and options. The company uses these derivative instruments to hedge expected future cash flows in foreign currencies and firm commitments. Gains and losses on hedges are deferred and recognized upon settlement of the related transaction. All other gains and losses are recognized in costs of sales. These instruments usually mature in two years or less, consistent with the underlying transactions. The effect of changes in exchange rates may not be fully offset by gains or losses on currency derivatives, depending on the extent to which the exposures are hedged.

NOTE 2. Accounting Policies — (Continued)

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of Visteon’s non-U.S. businesses generally are translated to U.S. Dollars at end-of-period exchange rates. The effects of this translation for Visteon are reported in other comprehensive income. Remeasurement of assets and liabilities of Visteon’s non-U.S. businesses that use the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency are included in income as transaction gains and losses. Income statement elements of Visteon’s non-U.S. businesses are translated to U.S. Dollars at average-period exchange rates and are recognized as part of revenues, costs and expenses. Also included in income are gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the business involved. Net transaction gains and losses, as described above, increased net income $2 million in 2000, decreased net income $24 million in 1999 and increased net income $13 million in 1998.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Visteon considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, including short-term time deposits and government agency and corporate obligations, to be cash equivalents. For periods prior to the spin-off, cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of a share of Ford’s cash and cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. The fair value of substantially all securities is determined by quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of securities, for which there are no quoted market prices, is based on similar types of securities that are traded in the market. Book value approximates fair value for all securities.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Certain Identifiable Intangibles

Visteon evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for potential impairment on an ongoing basis. Such evaluations compare operating income before amortization of goodwill to the amortization recorded for the operations to which the goodwill relates. Visteon also evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of for potential impairment. Visteon considers projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends and other circumstances in making such estimates and evaluations.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies and is amortized using the straight-line method for periods up to 20 years. Total goodwill included in other assets was $394 million and $409 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $58 million and $35 million as of those same dates.

	Total inventories	$	948	$	751

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of most U.S. inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. The cost of the remaining inventories is determined primarily by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

If the FIFO method had been used instead of the LIFO method, inventories would have been higher by $83 million and $101 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

	Net property	$	5,497		$	5,789

Property, equipment and special tools are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment placed in service before January 1, 1993 are depreciated using an accelerated method that results in accumulated depreciation of approximately two-thirds of asset cost during the first half of the estimated life of the asset. Property and equipment placed in service after December 31, 1992 are depreciated using the straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful life of the asset. On average, buildings and land improvements are depreciated based on a 30-year life; machinery and equipment are depreciated based on a 14-year life. Cost of computer software developed or obtained for internal use is capitalized beginning January 1, 1999. Special tools placed in service before January 1, 1999 are amortized using an accelerated method over periods of time representing the estimated life of those tools. Special tools placed in service after December 31, 1998 are amortized using the straight-line method.

For property and equipment retired before January 1, 1999, the general policy was to charge the cost of those assets, reduced by net salvage proceeds, to accumulated depreciation. For property and equipment retired after December 31, 1998, the general policy is to charge the net book value of those assets, reduced by net salvage proceeds, to gain or loss on disposal of assets. These changes did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes were $33 million at December 31, 2000. The majority of these losses have an indefinite carryforward period. For financial statement purposes, the tax benefit of operating losses is recognized as a deferred tax asset, subject to appropriate valuation allowances when it is determined that recovery of the deferred tax asset is unlikely. The company evaluates the tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards on an ongoing basis. Such evaluations include a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period and other circumstances.

NOTE 7. Employee Retirement Benefits

Employee Retirement Plans

In the U.S., Visteon hourly employees represented by the UAW and other collective bargaining groups earn noncontributory benefits based on employee service. Visteon salaried employees earn similar noncontributory benefits as well as contributory benefits related to pay and service. In accordance with the separation agreements, Ford retained the past service obligations for those transferred salaried employees who were eligible to retire in 2000 as well as those whose combined age and years of service was at least 60 at the date of the separation from Ford. For all other transferred salaried employees Visteon assumed the pension obligations as well as assets with a fair value at least equal to the related projected benefit obligation but no less than the amount required to be transferred under applicable laws and regulations. Certain of the non-U.S. subsidiaries sponsor separate plans that provide similar types of benefits to their employees. For these non-U.S. plans, Visteon has assumed all plan benefit obligations for Visteon employees as well as assets that approximate the benefit obligations for funded plans.

In general, the company’s plans are funded with the exception of certain supplemental benefit plans for executives and a plan in Germany; in such cases the unfunded liability is recorded. The company’s policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable law, regulation or union agreement. Plan assets consist principally of investments in stocks, and government and other fixed income securities.

Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW employees participate in the Ford-UAW Retirement Plan, sponsored by Ford. By agreement, Visteon compensates Ford for the pension expense incurred by Ford for Visteon-assigned employees.

NOTE 7. Employee Retirement Benefits — (Continued)

Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits

In the U.S., Visteon has a financial obligation for the cost of providing selected health care and life insurance benefits to its employees, as well as Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW employees who retire after July 1, 2000. The estimated cost for these benefits is accrued over periods of employee service on an actuarially determined basis. Ford retained the financial obligation and related prepayments for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to its employees who retired on or before July 1, 2000.

Under the terms of the separation agreement with Ford and in addition to regular benefit payments, Visteon is required to pre-fund postretirement health care and life insurance benefit obligations related to Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW hourly employees as well as many transferred salaried employees. The required pre-funding is over a 15 year period beginning in 2006 for the Ford-UAW hourly employees, and over a 10 year period beginning in 2011 for those salaried employees. The annual pre-funding requirement during this period will be determined based upon amortization of the unfunded liability at the beginning of the period, plus annual expense. In December 2000, the company pre-funded a portion of this obligation by contributing $25 million to a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (“VEBA”) trust.

The company’s expense for retirement benefits was as follows (in millions):

Pension and postretirement health care and life insurance benefit expense for 1999 and prior years included the costs of Visteon-assigned Ford employees who retired on or before July 1, 2000. Pension expense for 1999 and prior years also included an allocated benefit for plan assets in excess of benefit obligations. Under the terms of the separation agreement, Ford generally retained plan assets in excess of actuarially determined benefit obligations for pensions and retained all plan assets related to postretirement health care and life insurance benefits.

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

NOTE 7. Employee Retirement Benefits — (Continued)

Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point is estimated to increase the aggregate service and interest cost components of Visteon’s net postretirement benefit expense for 2000 by about $50 million and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2000 by about $375 million. A decrease of one percentage point would reduce service and interest costs by $38 million and decrease the December 31, 2000 obligation by about $290 million.

For 1999, the funded status of retirement plans reflects only plans sponsored by Visteon Systems, LLC (formerly Ford Electronics and Refrigeration) and Visteon Systems Canada (formerly Ford Electronics and Manufacturing Company).

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for employee retirement plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $118 million, $81 million and $47 million, respectively, for 2000 and $11 million, $11 million and $8 million, respectively, for 1999.

The asset and liability transfers between Ford and Visteon postretirement benefit plans reduced Visteon’s net pension and postretirement related liabilities by about $1.6 billion. In addition, Ford retained about $573 million of prepaid health care amounts relating to active employees.

On August 3, 2000, Visteon completed a public offering of unsecured term debt securities totaling $1.2 billion with maturities of five years and ten years. The offering included $500 million of securities maturing on August 1, 2005 and $700 million of securities maturing on August 1, 2010. The five and ten year securities were issued at a slight discount to the stated rates of interest of 7.95% and 8.25%, respectively. Interest on these debt securities is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1. The unsecured term debt securities agreement contains certain restrictions including, among others, a limitation relating to liens and sale lease-back transactions, as defined in the agreement. In the opinion of management, Visteon was in compliance with all of these restrictions.

During 2000, Visteon established a commercial paper program under which, at December 31, 2000, $352 million was outstanding with a weighted average remaining maturity of 12 days and a weighted average interest rate of about 7.3%.

In addition, Visteon entered into financing arrangements with third-party lenders to provide up to $2 billion of contractually committed, unsecured revolving credit facilities. The revolving credit facilities are split evenly between 364-day and 5-year commitments, maturing in June 2001 and June 2005, respectively. Any borrowings under the revolving credit facilities would bear interest based on a variable interest rate option selected at the time of borrowing. As of December 31, 2000, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facilities. The credit facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants including a covenant not to exceed a specified leverage ratio. In the opinion of management, Visteon was in compliance with all covenants since the inception of the revolving credit facilities.

The company has additional debt arrangements with respect to a number of its non-U.S. operations, a portion of which are payable in non-U.S. currencies.

NOTE 8. Debt — (Continued)

Prior to the spin-off from Ford, Visteon had a number of debt and support facility arrangements directly with Ford or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including a revolving loan arrangement under which Visteon could borrow up to $1,250 million. Interest on this debt was determined quarterly based on Ford’s average interest rate on its U.S. Dollar denominated, publicly traded automotive debt. No fair value was estimated on this debt.

Upon completing the spin-off from Ford, all debt and support facility arrangements with Ford were terminated. Amounts outstanding under the revolving loan arrangement of about $1,120 million were converted into an equity investment by Ford, and any remaining amounts outstanding under the arrangements were repaid by Visteon to Ford.

Debt at December 31, 2000 included maturities as follows (in millions): 2001 — $622; 2002 — $69; 2003 — $65; 2004 — $25; 2005 — $513; thereafter — $725.

NOTE 9. Capital Stock and Stock Award Plans

Visteon was incorporated in Delaware in January 2000 with an initial capitalization of 10,000 shares of $1.00 par value common stock authorized and 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Through an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, the number of common shares authorized and outstanding was increased to 500 million and 130 million, respectively. In addition, 50 million shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, were authorized, none of which were issued.

Visteon has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, a stock-based incentive plan (“Long-Term Incentive Plan” or “LTIP”) which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The LTIP provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance stock rights and stock and various other rights based on stock (collectively referred to as “Awards”). The total number of shares of Visteon common stock subject to Awards under the LTIP is 13 million shares.

Effective at the date of spin-off and subject to shareholder approval, Visteon granted under the LTIP to some employees about 800,000 shares of restricted stock and about 2 million stock options with an exercise price equal to the average of the highest and lowest prices at which Visteon common stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange on that date. Net issuances of restricted stock during the second half of 2000 were about 130,000 shares. Restricted stock awards generally vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. Restricted stock awards issued to the company’s Board of Directors vest on the third anniversary of the date of the grant. Stock options will become exercisable one-third after one year from the date of grant, an additional one-third after two years and in full after three years, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Shareholder approval will be sought at the May 2001 Annual Meeting of the Visteon Shareholders.

In addition, Visteon has adopted a stock-based incentive plan (“Employees Equity Incentive Plan” or “EEIP”) which is administered by an Administrator appointed by the Board of Directors. The EEIP provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance stock rights and stock and various other rights based on stock. The total number of shares of Visteon common stock subject to awards under the EEIP is 6.5 million shares. No awards were granted under the EEIP in 2000.

NOTE 10. Litigation and Claims

Various legal actions, governmental investigations and proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against Visteon, including those arising out of alleged defects in Visteon’s products; governmental regulations relating to safety; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; product warranties; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing matters involve or may involve compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, or other relief which, if granted, would require very large expenditures.

Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Reserves have been established by Visteon for matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable. It is reasonably possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph for which reserves have not been established could be decided unfavorably to Visteon and could require Visteon to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of amounts, that cannot be estimated at December 31, 2000. Visteon does not reasonably expect, based on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on future consolidated financial statements for a particular year, although such an outcome is possible.

NOTE 11. Transactions with Ford and its Affiliates

Revenues from Ford and its affiliates approximated 84% in 2000, 88% in 1999 and 92% in 1998 of total sales.

In connection with Visteon’s separation from Ford, Visteon and Ford have entered into a series of agreements outlining the terms of separation and the relationship between Visteon and Ford on an ongoing basis. The following summary of certain of these agreements is qualified in all respects by the actual terms of the respective agreements.

Master Transfer Agreement

The master transfer agreement, effective as of April 1, 2000, provided for Ford to transfer to Visteon and/or its subsidiaries, all assets used exclusively by Visteon, including but not limited to real property interests, personal property and ownership interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures.

In addition, Visteon and Ford agreed to a division of liabilities including liabilities related to product liability, warranty and recall, environmental, intellectual property claims and other general litigation claims. Visteon and Ford agreed on a division of responsibility for product liability, warranty and recall matters as follows: (a) Ford will retain liability for all product liability, warranty or recall claims that involve parts made or sold by Visteon for 1996 or earlier model year Ford vehicles, (b) Visteon is liable for all product liability, warranty or recall claims that involve parts made or sold by Visteon for 1997 or later model year Ford vehicles in accordance with Ford’s global standard purchase order terms as applied to other Tier 1 suppliers and (c) Visteon has assumed all responsibility for product liability, warranty or recall claims relating to parts made or sold by Visteon to any non-Ford customers.

NOTE 11. Transactions with Ford and its Affiliates — (Continued)

Supply Agreement and Pricing Letter Agreement

The supply agreement provides that Visteon’s existing purchase orders with Ford as of January 1, 2000 will generally remain in effect at least through the end of 2003, subject to Ford’s right to terminate any particular purchase order for quality or other reasons. In addition, the pricing letter required a one-time 5% price reduction on products that Visteon was supplying to Ford as of January 1, 2000 based on a market pricing review conducted by Ford and Visteon. The pricing letter also requires productivity price adjustments in each of 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 to reflect competitive price reductions obtained each year by Ford from its other Tier 1 suppliers. Visteon and Ford agreed on a 3.5% productivity price reduction for 2000 on such products, which is consistent with (i) price reductions between Visteon and Ford in prior years and (ii) the amount of annual productivity improvement that Ford generally expects from its other Tier 1 suppliers.

Until May 2003, Visteon has the right of last refusal to meet competitive terms, including with respect to price, on replacement products that (i) Visteon produces in the United States, Canada, Europe and Mexico and (ii) Visteon supplied to Ford on January 1, 2000, subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

Master Separation Agreement

The master separation agreement provides for Ford to provide transitional services to Visteon until December 31, 2001. These services include information technology, human resources, accounting, customs, product development technology and real estate services which have been historically provided to Visteon by Ford. Visteon has agreed to pay Ford amounts which reflect its fully accounted cost for these services, including a reasonable allocation of internal overhead costs, as well as any direct costs incurred from outside suppliers. Visteon may terminate any transitional service upon six months’ written notice. Transitional services may be extended an additional six months to June 30, 2002, provided Visteon notifies Ford by June 30, 2001. For 2000, 1999 and 1998, assessments for these services totaled approximately $179 million, $211 million and $185 million, respectively.

Hourly Employee Assignment Agreement

The hourly employee assignment agreement sets forth a number of rights and obligations with respect to the United States hourly employees of Ford who (i) were represented by the UAW, (ii) were covered by the Ford UAW Master Collective Bargaining Agreement dated as of September 30, 1999, (iii) were employed in one of Visteon’s facilities as of the date of the spin-off and (iv) after Visteon’s spin-off remained Ford employees indefinitely but will be assigned to work for Visteon.

Under this agreement, Visteon exercises day-to-day supervision over the covered individuals and Ford will continue to provide the same employee benefits generally offered to other hourly employees of Ford who are represented by the UAW. Visteon reimburses Ford for the wage, benefit and other costs incurred by Ford related to these individuals. However, Visteon’s liability for profit sharing based on Ford’s profits is limited to $50 million per year in each of 2000-2004. After 2004, Visteon will be liable for the full amount of profit sharing based on Ford’s profits.

NOTE 12. Financial Instruments

Estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information and various valuation methods depending on the type of instrument. In evaluating the fair value information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Further, it should be noted that fair value at a particular point in time gives no indication of future gain or loss, or what the dimensions of that gain or loss are likely to be.

The fair value of debt was $2,028 million at December 31, 2000, based on quoted market prices or current rates for similar debt with the same remaining maturities, compared with book value of $2,019 million. The fair value of debt, excluding borrowings under a revolving loan arrangement with Ford, approximated book value at December 31, 1999. The fair value of foreign currency instruments was estimated using current market rates provided by outside quotation services. The notional amount of foreign currency instruments was $1,178 million and $410 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The notional amount represents the contract amount, not the amount at risk. The recorded carrying value of the company’s foreign currency instruments exceeds the fair value by approximately $14 million in each year. For all other financial instruments recorded at December 31, 2000 and 1999, fair value approximates book value.

NOTE 13. Acquisitions, Dispositions and Special Charges

In December 2000, Visteon recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment write-down of $220 million ($138 million after-tax) to reduce the net book value of the assets associated with the Glass Segment to estimated fair value. The write-down reflects revised operating projections following the end of discussions regarding a joint venture involving the business, which reflected continuing pressures on costs and prices.

In October 2000, the sale of Visteon’s 49% interest in the “Conix Group,” comprised of Conix Corporation, Conix Canada Inc., Conix Belgium N.V. and Conix U.K. Limited, to Decoma International, Inc., was completed. The sale price for the Visteon interest was $140 million, which was satisfied by a cash payment of $50 million and $90 million of 9.5% subordinated Decoma debentures due in 2003, resulting in an after-tax gain of about $20 million, which is included in equity in net income of affiliated companies on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

In June 1999, Visteon acquired the automotive interiors division of Compagnie Plastic Omnium for approximately 2.9 billion French Francs, net of cash acquired. This business consisted of 14 facilities located in four countries: France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, and generated 1998 revenues of approximately 2.8 billion French Francs. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the purchase price allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired approximated $300 million and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. The assets purchased, liabilities assumed and the results of operations, since the date of acquisition, are included in the financial statements on a consolidated basis. Assuming the acquisition had taken place January 1, 1999 and 1998, Visteon’s pro forma revenue and net income for the related periods would not be materially affected.

NOTE 15. Segment Information

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic operations.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers, or a decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Visteon’s chief operating decision-making group is the Strategy Council, which is comprised of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and six other senior executives.

                       FORM OF CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

                  THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of           (the "Effective Date"),
is made by and between Visteon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and                  (the "Executive").

                  WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best
interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of key
management personnel; and

                  WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that, as is the case with many
publicly held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control exists and
that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise
among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management
personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and

                  WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps
should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and
dedication of members of the Company's management, including the Executive, to
their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing
circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as
follows:

                  1. Defined Terms. The definitions of capitalized terms used in
this Agreement are provided in the last Section hereof.

                  2. Term of Agreement. The Term of this Agreement shall
commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect through the fifth
anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that commencing on the
first anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each anniversary of the
Effective Date thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for one
additional year unless, not later than 90 days prior to each such date, the
Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the Term; and
provided, further, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the
Term, the Term shall


   2

expire no earlier than 36 months beyond the month in which such Change in
Control occurred.

                  3. Company's Covenants Summarized. In order to induce the
Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the
Executive's covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees, under
the conditions described herein, to pay the Executive the Severance Payments and
the other payments and benefits described herein. Except as provided in Section
9.1 hereof, no Severance Payments shall be payable under this Agreement unless
there shall have been (or, under the terms of the second sentence of Section 6.1
hereof, there shall be deemed to have been) a termination of the Executive's
employment with the Company following a Change in Control and during the Term.
This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express or implied contract
of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive
and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the
employ of the Company.

                  4.  The Executive's Covenants.

                  4.1 The Executive agrees that, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, in the event of a Potential Change in Control
during the Term, the Executive will remain in the employ of the Company until
the earliest of (i) a date which is six months from the date of such Potential
Change of Control, (ii) the date of a Change in Control, (iii) the date of
termination by the Executive of the Executive's employment for Good Reason or by
reason of death, Disability or Retirement, or (iv) the termination by the
Company of the Executive's employment for any reason.

                  4.2 The Executive agrees that, during the Term and for a
period ending on the second anniversary of a termination of the Executive's
employment following a Change in Control under circumstances entitling the
Executive to payments and benefits under Section 6 hereof, the Executive will
not, without the prior written consent of the Chairman of the Board or the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, engage in or perform any services of a similar
nature to those performed by the Executive at the Company for any other
corporation or business which is engaged in the design, manufacture,
development, promotion, sale or financing of automobile or truck components
within North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia or Europe in competition


                                       2
   3

with the Company or any of the Company's subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any
joint ventures to which the Company or any of the Company's subsidiaries or
Affiliates are a party.

                  4.3 During the Term and thereafter, the Executive will not
(other than in the regular course and in furtherance of the Company's business)
divulge, furnish or make available to any person any confidential knowledge,
information or materials, whether tangible or intangible, regarding proprietary
matters relating to the Company, including, without limitation, trade secrets,
customer and supplier lists, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing
plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business
acquisition or disposition plans, new personnel employment plans, methods of
manufacture, technical processes, designs and design projects, inventions and
research projects and financial budgets and forecasts of the Company except (1)
information which at the time is available to others in the business or
generally known to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the
Executive not permitted hereunder, and (2) when required to do so by a court of
competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency or by any administrative body
or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with purported or apparent
jurisdiction to order the Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such
information.

                  5.  Compensation Other Than Severance Payments.

                  5.1 Following a Change in Control and during the Term, during
any period that the Executive fails to perform the Executive's full-time duties
with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness,
the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount that when added to the amount
paid to the Executive under the Company's short-term and/or long-term disability
plans, will result in the Executive receiving his full salary at the rate in
effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all compensation
and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any other compensation
or benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such
period, until the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for
Disability.

                  5.2 If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any
reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall



                                       3
   4

pay the Executive's full salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination
at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if
higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event
or circumstance constituting Good Reason, together with all compensation and
benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the
terms of the Company's compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements
as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable
to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an
event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

                  5.3 If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any
reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay
to the Executive the Executive's normal post-termination compensation and
benefits as such payments become due. Such post-termination compensation and
benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company's
retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and
arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if
more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the
occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

                  6.  Severance Payments.

                  6.1 If (i) the Executive's employment is terminated following
a Change in Control and within three (3) years after a Change in Control, other
than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C)
by the Executive without Good Reason, or (ii) the Executive voluntarily
terminates his employment for any reason during the 30 day period commencing on
the first anniversary of a Change in Control, then, in either such case, the
Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the
benefits, described in this Section 6.1 ("Severance Payments") and Section 6.2,
in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled
under Section 5 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's
employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control
by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) the
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a
Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such
termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered



                                       4
   5

into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a
Change in Control, or (ii) the Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever
occurs) and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at
the request or direction of such Person. For purposes of any determination
regarding the applicability of the immediately preceding sentence, any position
taken by the Executive shall be presumed to be correct unless the Company
establishes to the Board by clear and convincing evidence that such position is
not correct.

                           (A) In lieu of any further salary payments to the
Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall
pay to the Executive within five (5) business days after the Date of
Termination, a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to three (3) times the
sum of (i) the Executive's base salary as in effect immediately prior to the
Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the first
occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (ii) the
Executive's target annual bonus pursuant to any annual bonus or incentive plan
maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which occurs the Date
of Termination or, if higher, the fiscal year in which occurs the first event or
circumstance constituting Good Reason. The amount payable pursuant to this
Section 6.1(A) shall be reduced by the amount of any cash severance or salary
continuation benefit paid or payable to the Executive under any other plan,
policy or program of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any written
employment agreement between the Executive and the Company or any of its
Affiliates.

                           (B) For the 36 month period immediately following the
Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his
dependents life, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to
those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date
of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the
Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an
event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater cost to the
Executive than the cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or
occurrence; provided, however, that, unless the Executive consents to a
different method (after taking into account the effect of such method on the
calculation of "parachute payments" pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof), such health


                                       5
   6

and life insurance benefits shall be provided through a third-party insurer.
Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6.1(B)
shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by or made
available to the Executive during the 36 month period following the Executive's
termination of employment (and any such benefits received by or made available
to the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive); provided,
however, that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any,
of the cost of such benefits to the Executive over such cost immediately prior
to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, the first
occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

                           (C) Each option to purchase shares of common stock of
the Company outstanding as of the Date of Termination shall become fully vested
and exercisable as of such date and shall remain exercisable during the
remaining term of such option (such remaining term to be determined as if the
Executive were still actively employed), and each grant of restricted stock or
similar grant, the award of which is contingent only upon the continued
employment of the Executive to a subsequent date, shall become fully vested as
of the Date of Termination.

                           (D) Unless payable to the Executive under the terms
of any annual or long-term incentive plan, the Company shall pay to the
Executive within five (5) business days after the Date of Termination, a lump
sum amount, in cash, equal to the sum of (i) any unpaid incentive compensation
(including performance share awards) which has been allocated or awarded to the
Executive for a completed fiscal year or other measuring period preceding the
Date of Termination under any such plan and which, as of the Date of
Termination, is contingent only upon the continued employment of the Executive
to a subsequent date, and (ii) a pro rata portion to the Date of Termination of
the aggregate value of all contingent incentive compensation awards (including
performance share awards) to the Executive for all then uncompleted periods
under any such plan, calculated as to each such award by multiplying the award
that the Executive would have earned on the last day of the performance award
period, assuming the achievement, at the target level (or if higher, at the then
projected actual final level), of the individual and corporate performance goals
established with respect to such award, by the fraction obtained by dividing the
number of full months and any fractional portion of a



                                       6
   7

month during such performance award period through the Date of Termination by
the total number of months contained in such performance award period.

                           (E) The benefits then accrued by or payable to the
Executive under the Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, Executive
Separation Allowance Plan, Deferred Compensation Plan, Savings Parity Plan, or
any successor to any such plan, and the benefits then accrued by or payable to
the Executive under any other nonqualified plan providing supplemental
retirement or deferred compensation benefits (other than the Select Retirement
Plan), shall become fully vested and payable notwithstanding any eligibility
conditions that would otherwise apply with respect to such benefits; provided
that if the Executive has not attained fifty-five (55) years of age, the
Executive's benefit under the Executive Separation Allowance Plan will commence
to be paid upon the Executive's attainment of age fifty-five (55). With respect
to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, Executive Separation Allowance
Plan, and any other nonqualified nonaccount balance plan or portion of a plan
providing supplemental retirement or deferred compensation benefits (other than
the Select Retirement Plan), the Company shall transfer an amount in cash
sufficient to pay all benefits then accrued by or payable to the Executive under
the terms of such plans into an irrevocable grantor trust (a so-called "Rabbi
Trust") whose trustee shall be an entity unaffiliated with and independent of
the Company, which trust shall be required to pay such benefits in accordance
with and subject to the applicable terms of each plan (as modified by this
Agreement) and the trust instrument; provided that any amendment or termination
of any such plan on or after the Change in Control date the effect of which
would be to reduce or eliminate the benefit payable to the Executive shall be
disregarded. With respect to the Deferred Compensation Plan, Savings Parity
Plan, and any other nonqualified account balance plan or portion of a plan
providing supplemental retirement or deferred compensation benefits, the Company
shall pay to the Executive, within five (5) business days after the Date of
Termination, a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the sum of the aggregate
account balances of the Executive under such plans or portions of plans as of
the date of such payment.

                           (F) The Company shall reimburse the Executive for
expenses incurred for outplacement services suitable to the Executive's position
for a period of three (3) years following the Date of Termination (or, if
earlier, until the first acceptance by the Executive of an offer of employment)
in an



                                       7
   8

amount not exceeding 25% of the sum of the Executive's annual base salary as in
effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect
immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstances
constituting Good Reason, and target annual bonus pursuant to any annual bonus
or incentive plan maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in
which occurs the Date of Termination or, if higher, the fiscal year in which
occurs the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

                           (G) For the six (6) month period immediately
following the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide the Executive with
the use of any Company provided automobile on the same terms and conditions that
were applicable immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more
favorable, immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance
constituting Good Reason.

                  6.2 (A) Whether or not the Executive becomes entitled to the
Severance Payments, if any of the payments or benefits received or to be
received by the Executive in connection with a Change in Control or the
Executive's termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any
Person whose actions result in a Change in Control or any Person affiliated with
the Company or such Person) (such payments or benefits, excluding the Gross-Up
Payment, being hereinafter referred to as the "Total Payments") will be subject
to the Excise Tax, the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount
(the "Gross-Up Payment") such that the net amount retained by the Executive,
after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal, state
and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment,
shall be equal to the Total Payments.

                           (B) For purposes of determining whether any of the
Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise
Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments shall be treated as "parachute payments"
(within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) unless, in the opinion of
tax counsel ("Tax Counsel") reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected
by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control,
the Company's independent auditor (the "Auditor"), such payments or benefits (in
whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, including by reason of
section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) all "excess parachute



                                       8
   9

payments" within the meaning of section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be treated
as subject to the Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess
parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for
services actually rendered (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the
Code) in excess of the Base Amount allocable to such reasonable compensation, or
are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the value of any noncash
benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor
in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.
For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive
shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rate of
federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to
be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's residence on the Date of
Termination (or if there is no Date of Termination, then the date on which the
Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of this Section 6.2), net of the
maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction
of such state and local taxes.

                           (C) In the event that the Excise Tax is finally
determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in
calculating the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall repay to the Company,
within five business days following the time that the amount of such reduction
in the Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment
attributable to such reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment
attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and
employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Executive),
to the extent that such repayment results in a reduction in the Excise Tax and a
dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Executive's taxable income and wages for
purposes of federal, state and local income and employment taxes, plus interest
on the amount of such repayment at 120% of the rate provided in section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to
exceed the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up
Payment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which
cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall
make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any
interest, penalties or additions payable by the Executive with respect to such
excess) within five business days following the time that the amount of such
excess is finally determined. The Executive and the Company shall each
reasonably cooperate


                                       9
   10

with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings
concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to
the Total Payments.

                  6.3 The payments provided in subsections (A), (D) and (E) of
Section 6.1 hereof and in Section 6.2 hereof shall be made not later than the
fifth day following the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the
amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the
Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in
good faith by the Executive or, in the case of payments under Section 6.2
hereof, in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof, of the minimum amount of such
payments to which the Executive is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder
of such payments (together with interest on the unpaid remainder (or on all such
payments to the extent the Company fails to make such payments when due) at 120%
of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount
thereof can be determined but in no event later than the 30th day after the Date
of Termination. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds
the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall
constitute a loan by the Company to the Executive, payable on the fifth business
day after demand by the Company (together with interest at 120% of the rate
provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code). At the time that payments are
made under this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with a
written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were
calculated and the basis for such calculations including, without limitation,
any opinions or other advice the Company has received from Tax Counsel, the
Auditor or other advisors or consultants (and any such opinions or advice which
are in writing shall be attached to the statement).

                  6.4 The Company also shall pay to the Executive all legal fees
and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue
hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive's employment, in seeking
in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this
Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent
attributable to the application of section 4999 of the Code to any payment or
benefit provided hereunder. Such payments shall be made within five business
days after delivery of the Executive's written requests for payment accompanied
with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may
require.

                  7. Termination Procedures and Compensation During Dispute.

                  7.1. Notice of Termination. After a Change in Control and
during the Term, any purported termination of the Executive's employment (other
than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination
from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10
hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a
notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under
the provision so indicated. Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is
required to include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote
of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a
meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering
such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity
for the Executive, together with the Executive's counsel, to be heard before the
Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was
guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Cause
herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

                  7.2 Date of Termination. "Date of Termination," with respect
to any purported termination of the Executive's employment after a Change in
Control and during the Term, shall mean (i) if the Executive's employment is
terminated for Disability, 30 days after Notice of Termination is given
(provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time
performance of the Executive's duties during such 30 day period), and (ii) if
the Executive's employment is terminated for any other reason, the date
specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by
the Company, shall not be less than 30 days (except in the case of a termination
for Cause) and, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall not be less
than 15 days nor more than 60 days, respectively, from the date such Notice of
Termination is given).

                  7.3 Dispute Concerning Termination. If within 15 days after
any Notice of Termination is given, or, if later, prior to the Date of
Termination (as determined without regard to this Section 7.3), the party
receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute
exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be extended
until the earlier of (i)


                                       11
   12

the date on which the Term ends or (ii) the date on which the dispute is finally
resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a final
judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction
(which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom
has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided, however, that the Date
of Termination shall be extended by a notice of dispute given by the Executive
only if such notice is given in good faith and the Executive pursues the
resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.

                  7.4 Compensation During Dispute. If a purported termination
occurs following a Change in Control and during the Term and the Date of
Termination is extended in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof, the Company shall
continue to pay the Executive the full compensation in effect when the notice
giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, salary) and
continue the Executive as a participant in all compensation, benefit and
insurance plans in which the Executive was participating when the notice giving
rise to the dispute was given, until the Date of Termination, as determined in
accordance with Section 7.3 hereof. Amounts paid under this Section 7.4 are in
addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement (other than those due
under Section 5.2 hereof) and shall not be offset against or reduce any other
amounts due under this Agreement.

                  8. No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive's
employment with the Company terminates during the Term, the Executive is not
required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts
payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof or Section
7.4 hereof. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this
Agreement (other than Section 6.1(B) hereof) shall not be reduced by any
compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another
employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be
owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

                  9. Successors; Binding Agreement.

                  9.1 In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any
successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct
or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly


                                       12
   13

assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in
the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to
hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive's employment for Good
Reason after a Change in Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the
foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be
deemed the Date of Termination.

                  9.2 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the
Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive
hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of
the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless
otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the
Executive's estate.

                  10. Notices. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and
all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United
States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if
to the Executive, to the address inserted below the Executive's signature on the
final page hereof and, if to the Company, to the address set forth below, or to
such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in
accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective
only upon actual receipt:

                           To the Company:

                           Visteon Corporation
                           10th Floor

                           Attention:  General Counsel

   14
                  11. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be
modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is
agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer as may be
specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any
time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of any lack of compliance
with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other
party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions
at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement supersedes any
other agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof which have been made by either party;
provided, however, that this Agreement shall supersede any agreement setting
forth the terms and conditions of the Executive's employment with the Company
only in the event that the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated
on or following a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause or by
the Executive other than for Good Reason. The validity, interpretation,
construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Delaware. All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the
Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections.
Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable
withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional
withholding to which the Executive has agreed. The obligations of the Company
and the Executive under this Agreement which by their nature may require either
partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term (including,
without limitation, those under Sections 6 and 7 hereof) shall survive such
expiration.

                  12. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.

                  13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

                  14. Settlement of Disputes. All claims by the Executive for
benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board


                                       14
   15

and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under
this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set
forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this
Agreement relied upon. The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the
Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow
the Executive to appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within 60 days
after notification by the Board that the Executive's claim has been denied.

                  15. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following

(other than any such failure resulting from the Executive's incapacity due to

         The Executive's right to terminate the Executive's employment for Good
Reason shall not be affected by the Executive's incapacity due to physical or

ownership of stock of the Company.

                           (S) "Potential Change in Control" shall be deemed to
have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs
shall have occurred:

                                    (I) the Company enters into an agreement,

   21

                                    (II) the Company or any Person publicly
announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if

effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has
occurred.

                           (T) "Retirement" shall be deemed the reason for the
termination by the Executive of the Executive's employment if such employment is
terminated in accordance with the Company's retirement policy, including early
retirement, generally applicable to its salaried employees.

                           (U) "Severance Payments" shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 6.1 hereof.

                           (V) "Tax Counsel" shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 6.2 hereof.

                  of the Plan and ending on December 31, 2000, and thereafter,
                  the twelve month period beginning on January 1 and ending
                  December 31 of each year.

         (k)      "Visteon Stock Units" mean the hypothetical shares of Company

                  of the Participant's Voluntary Deferrals.

   2

         (l)      "Voluntary Deferrals" mean remuneration that would otherwise
                  be paid to a Participant but that, in accordance with the

                  and credited to the Participant's Account.

SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION

         (a)      General Authority. The Administrative Committee shall have the
                  full power and discretionary authority to: (1) interpret and
                  administer the Plan and any instrument relating to or made
                  under the Plan; (2) establish, amend, suspend or waive such
                  rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem
                  appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (3)
                  make any other determination, and take any other action, that
                  the Administrative Committee deems necessary or desirable for
                  the administration of the Plan. The decisions and
                  determinations of the Administrative Committee need not be
                  uniform and may be made differently among Participants, and
                  shall be final, binding and conclusive on all interested
                  parties.

         (b)      Recordkeeping. The Administrative Committee shall be
                  responsible for maintaining all Accounts; provided that the
                  Administrative Committee may in its discretion appoint or
                  remove a third-party recordkeeper to maintain the Accounts as
                  provided herein.

         (c)      Effectiveness of Elections. Any elections or beneficiary
                  designations made under this Plan shall be effective only upon
                  the delivery of the appropriate form to the Secretary of the
                  Company and its acceptance by the Administrative Committee.

SECTION 4. DEFERRALS AND CREDITS TO ACCOUNT

         (a)      Participant Deferrals. Each Participant may elect, in such
                  form and manner specified by the Administrative Committee, to
                  defer the receipt of any cash remuneration to be earned with
                  respect to services to be performed as a non-employee member
                  of the Board after the effective date of the election. Such
                  election shall be irrevocable for the Plan Year for which it
                  is made, and shall be effective on the first day of the Plan
                  Year following its acceptance by the Administrative Committee,
                  provided that a Participant may elect within 30 days of first
                  becoming a Participant to have an election take effect
                  immediately with respect to any compensation that a
                  Participant may receive in the future and as to which the
                  Participant currently has no legal right or claim through the
                  rendering of past services. An election shall continue in
                  effect for subsequent Plan Years unless modified by the
                  Participant in accordance with this Section 4. A Participant
                  may modify an existing election effective on the first day of
                  the Plan Year following the date on which the revised election
                  is accepted by the Administrative Committee.



                                       2
   3

         (b)      Credits to Accounts. As of the last day of each month, all
                  Voluntary Deferrals made by or on behalf of a Participant
                  during that month shall be converted, for recordkeeping
                  purposes, into whole and fractional shares of Visteon Stock
                  Units, with fractional shares calculated to four decimal
                  places. The conversion shall be accomplished by dividing each
                  Participant's Voluntary Deferrals by the average of the high
                  and low prices at which a share of Company Stock shall have
                  been sold regular way on the Exchange on the last day of such
                  month on which the Exchange is open to transact trades.
                  Likewise, any dividends that would have been payable on the
                  Visteon Stock Units credited to a Participant's Account had
                  such units been actual shares of Company Stock during any
                  month shall be converted, for recordkeeping purposes, into
                  whole and fractional Visteon Stock Units based on the average
                  of the high and low prices at which a share of Common Stock
                  shall have been sold regular way on the Exchange on the last
                  day of such month on which the Exchange is open to transact
                  trades.

         (c)      Vesting. Each Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in
                  his or her Account.

SECTION 5. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ACCOUNTS

         (a)      Distribution Election. Distribution of a Participant's Account
                  shall be made or commence to be made on or about January 15 of
                  the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
                  Participant terminates service as a non-employee director of
                  the Company in the form or forms of distribution elected by
                  the Participant. The Participant may elect to have a
                  distribution made either in (i) a single sum, or (ii) ten (10)
                  annual installments. Such election shall be irrevocable with
                  respect to the deferrals (and earnings thereon) for the Plan
                  Year for which it is made, and shall be effective on the first
                  day of the Plan Year following its acceptance by the
                  Administrative Committee, provided that a Participant may
                  elect within 30 days of first becoming a Participant to have
                  an election take effect immediately with respect to any
                  compensation that the Participant has elected to defer. An
                  election shall continue in effect for compensation deferred in
                  subsequent Plan Years unless modified by the Participant in
                  accordance with this Section 5. A Participant may modify an
                  existing election effective on the first day of the Plan Year
                  following the date on which the revised election is accepted
                  by the Administrative Committee, and such revised election
                  shall apply to compensation deferred after the effective date
                  of such election. A Participant who fails to make any
                  distribution election shall be deemed to have elected the
                  single sum payment option.

                  1.       Single Sum Distribution. If the Participant has
                           elected the single sum distribution option, the
                           Company, in accordance with directions from the
                           Administrative Committee, will distribute to the
                           Participant shares of Company Stock equal to the
                           number of Visteon Stock Units credited to the
                           Participant's Account (and cash in lieu of any
                           fractional share) for which such election is in
                           effect; provided that the Administrative Committee
                           may direct that all or any part of the Participant's
                           distribution be satisfied in cash rather than by a
                           distribution of Visteon Stock, in which case the cash


                                       3
   4

                           payment shall be determined by multiplying the number
                           of Visteon Stock Units in the Participant's Account
                           that are the subject of the cash payment by the
                           average of the high and low prices at which a share
                           of Company Stock shall have been sold regular way on
                           the Exchange on the 5th trading day preceding the
                           date on which distribution is made.

                  2.       Installment Distributions. If the Participant has
                           elected the installment distribution option, the
                           first installment will be paid on or about January 15
                           of the calendar year following the calendar year in
                           which the Participant terminates service as a
                           non-employee member of the Board, and each subsequent
                           installment will be paid on or about January 15 of
                           each succeeding year during the installment period.
                           The annual installment distribution amount for any
                           year shall be initially determined on a share basis
                           by dividing the number of Visteon Stock Units
                           credited to the Participant's Account as of January 1
                           of the year for which the distribution is being made
                           and for which such an election is in effect by the
                           number of installment payments remaining to be made,
                           and then rounding the quotient obtained for all but
                           the final installment to the next lowest whole
                           number. The Company, in accordance with directions
                           from the Administrative Committee, will distribute to
                           the Participant shares of Company Stock equal to the
                           number of Visteon Stock Units that are being redeemed
                           as part of the installment (and cash in lieu of any
                           fractional share); provided that the Administrative
                           Committee may direct that all or any part of the
                           installment distribution be satisfied in cash rather
                           than by a distribution of Visteon Stock, in which
                           case the cash payment shall be determined by
                           multiplying the number of Visteon Stock Units in the
                           Participant's Account that are the subject of the
                           cash payment by the average of the high and low
                           prices at which a share of Company Stock shall have
                           been sold regular way on the Exchange on the 5th
                           trading day preceding the date on which distribution
                           is made.

         (b)      Securities Restrictions. With respect to any shares of Company
                  Stock distributed to a Participant, the Participant will not
                  sell or otherwise dispose of such Company Stock except
                  pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and applicable
                  state securities laws, which the Company may but shall not be
                  required to file, or in a transaction which, in the opinion of
                  counsel for the Company, is exempt from such registration, and
                  a legend may be placed on the certificates for the Company
                  Stock to such effect. In addition, in the event of any
                  underwritten public offering of the Company's securities
                  pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under
                  the Act and upon the request of the Company or the
                  underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the
                  Company's securities, the Participant shall not directly or
                  indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate,
                  pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for
                  the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree
                  to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect
                  to, any shares of Company Stock (other than those included in
                  the registration) acquired under this Plan without the prior
                  written consent of the Company or such



                                       4
   5

                  underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not
                  to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such
                  registration as may be requested by the Company or such
                  managing underwriters.

SECTION 6. BENEFICIARY

         (a)      Death Benefits. If a Participant dies before his or her entire
                  Account has been distributed, then the remainder of the
                  Participant's Account shall be distributed in a lump sum to
                  the Participant's beneficiary as soon as practicable following
                  the date of the Participant's death.

         (b)      Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate one
                  or more beneficiaries in such form and manner specified by the
                  Administrative Committee, which beneficiary shall be entitled
                  to receive the balance of the Participant's Account as
                  provided under subsection (a) in the event of the
                  Participant's death. The Participant may from time to time
                  revoke or change the beneficiary without the consent of any
                  prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the
                  Secretary of the Company. The last such designation received
                  by the Secretary of the Company shall be controlling. If no
                  beneficiary designation is in effect at the time the
                  Participant dies, or if no designated beneficiary survives the
                  Participant, the Participant's beneficiary shall be the
                  Participant's estate.

SECTION 7. SOURCE OF BENEFITS

         Benefits accumulated under the Plan shall constitute an unfunded,
         unsecured promise by the Company to provide such payments in the
         future, as and to the extent such amounts become payable. Benefits
         attributable to service as a non-employee member of the Board shall be
         paid from the general assets of the Company, and no person shall, by
         virtue of this Plan, have any interest in such assets, other than as an
         unsecured creditor of the Company.

SECTION 8. NON-ALIENATION

         Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Plan, neither the
         Participant nor his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries, including,
         without limitation, the Participant's executors and administrators,
         heirs, legatees, distributees, and any other person or persons claiming
         any benefits through the Participant under this Plan shall have any
         right to assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, sell, transfer,
         alienate and encumber or otherwise convey the right to receive any
         benefits hereunder, which benefits and the rights thereto are expressly
         declared to be nontransferable. The right to receive benefits under
         this Plan also shall not be subject to execution, attachment,
         garnishment, or similar legal, equitable or other process for the
         benefit of the Participant's or beneficiary's creditors. Any attempted
         assignment, transfer, pledge hypothecation or other disposition of the
         Participant's or beneficiary's rights to receive benefits under this
         Plan or the levy of any attachment, garnishment or similar process
         thereupon, shall be null and void and without effect.



                                       5

SECTION 9. CHANGE OF CONTROL

         The Company will not merge or consolidate with any other corporation or
         organization, or permit its business activities to be taken over by any
         other organization, unless and until the succeeding or continuing
         corporation or other organization shall expressly assume the rights and
         obligations of the Company hereunder. The Company will not cease its
         business activities or terminate its existence without having made
         adequate provision for the fulfillment of its obligation hereunder.

SECTION 10. DURATION OF PLAN

         Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 11, this Plan shall
         remain in effect during the term of service of the Participants and
         until the Account of each Participant has been distributed as provided
         herein.

SECTION 11. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

         The Board reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan at any
         time; provided that the authority of the Administrative Committee to
         administer the Plan shall extend beyond the date of the Plan's
         termination; and provided further that no amendment or termination of
         the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant or
         beneficiary to benefits then accrued without the written consent of the
         affected Participant or beneficiary.

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

         (a)      Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in
                  accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware,
                  without reference to conflict of law principles thereof.

         (b)      Severability. If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is
                  deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
                  jurisdiction or as to any person, or under any law deemed
                  applicable by the Administrative Committee, such provision
                  shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable
                  laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended
                  without, in the determination of the Administrative Committee,
                  materially altering the intent of the Plan, such provision
                  shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or person, and the
                  remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

         (c)      Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding upon, and
                  inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and
                  assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger,
                  consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or
                  substantially all of the Company's assets and business.

         Participant's death or Disability, (b) the third (3rd) anniversary of

                  Shares shall bear the following legend:

                  "The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented
                  by this certificate, whether voluntarily or by operation of
                  law, is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the

         (b)      Except as otherwise provided herein, after the lapse of the
                  restrictions described in Section 5, the Restricted Shares
                  shall thereafter be freely transferable by the Participant and
                  new certificates for the Shares without the legend described
                  in Subsection (a) above shall be issued to the Participant
                  upon his or her request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
                  Participant agrees and acknowledges with respect to the Shares
                  that: (i) the Participant will not sell or otherwise dispose
                  of such Shares except pursuant to an effective registration
                  statement under the Act and any applicable state securities
                  laws, which the Company may but shall not be required to file,
                  or in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel for the
                  Company, is exempt from such registration, and (ii) a legend
                  may be placed on the certificates for the Shares to such
                  effect.

         (c)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event
                  of any underwritten public offering of the Company's
                  securities pursuant to an effective registration

         statement filed under the Act and upon the request of the Company or
         the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company's
         securities, the Participant shall not directly or indirectly sell, make
         any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any
         option or other contract for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of
         or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions
         with respect to, any Shares (other than those included in the
         registration) acquired under this Plan without the prior written
         consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for
         such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of
         such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing
         underwriters.

SECTION 7. BENEFICIARY

         Each Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries who shall be
         entitled to receive the Restricted Shares in the event the Participant
         dies while a member of the Board. The Participant may from time to time
         revoke or change the beneficiary without the consent of any prior
         beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Secretary of the
         Company. The last such designation received by the Secretary of the
         Company shall be controlling. If no beneficiary designation is in
         effect at the time the Participant dies, or if no designated
         beneficiary survives the Participant, the Participant's Restricted
         Shares shall be transferred to the Participant's estate.

         If the Participant dies after ceasing to be a member of the Board, any
         non-forfeited Shares held by the Participant shall be transferred to
         the Participant's estate.

SECTION 8. VOTING RIGHTS; DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

         During the restriction period described in Section 5 hereof, the
         Participant shall be entitled to exercise full voting rights with
         respect to the Restricted Shares and shall be entitled to receive all
         dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Restricted
         Shares. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of
         the Company's common stock, such shares shall be subject to the same
         restrictions as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were
         paid.

SECTION 9. ADJUSTMENTS

         In the event that the Administrative Committee shall determine that any
         dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, stock,
         other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split,
         reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
         spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of stock or other
         securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to
         purchase stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar
         corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an
         adjustment is determined by the Administrative Committee to be
         appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits
         or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan,
         then the Administrative Committee may, in such manner as it may deem
         equitable, adjust any or all of: (a) the number and type of Shares
         subject to the Plan and which thereafter may be made the subject of
         awards under the Plan, and (b) the number and type of Shares subject to
         outstanding awards.

SECTION 10. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

         (a)      The Board reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan,
                  or amend any award agreement, at any time; provided that the
                  authority of the Administrative Committee to administer the
                  Plan and the Board to amend any award agreement shall extend
                  beyond the date of the Plan's termination.

         (b)      No amendment or termination of the Plan, and no amendment of
                  any award agreement, shall adversely affect the rights of any
                  Participant with respect to any Restricted Shares then
                  outstanding without the written consent of the Participant.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

                  such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
                  securities exchanges as may be required.

         (b)      This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance
                  with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without
                  reference to conflict of law principles thereof.

         (c)      If any provision of the Plan or any award agreement or any
                  award of Restricted Shares is or becomes or is deemed to be
                  invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as
                  to any person or award, or would disqualify the Plan, any
                  award agreement or any award under any law deemed applicable
                  by the Administrative Committee, such provision shall be
                  construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or
                  if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the
                  determination of the Administrative Committee, materially
                  altering the intent of the Plan, any award agreement or the
                  award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
                  jurisdiction, person or award, and the remainder of the Plan,
                  any such award agreement and any such award shall remain in
                  full force and effect.

(the "Company") and the stockholders of the Company by attracting and retaining

interest of each Participant under the Plan. An Account is established for

Plan, as amended, including for the period from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2000,

   4
Committee may prescribe). A Participant's designation of Beneficiary shall be
valid and in effect only if a properly executed designation is filed and
approved by the Committee prior to the Participant's death. If a Participant
designates his spouse as a Beneficiary, such designation automatically shall
become null and void on the date of the Participant's divorce or legal
separation from such spouse. If a valid designation of Beneficiary is not in
effect at time of the Participant's death, the estate of the Participant is
deemed to be the sole Beneficiary. Beneficiary designations shall be in writing,
filed with the Committee, and in such form as the Committee may prescribe for
this purpose.

         (d) Board: The Board of Directors of the Company.

         (e) Code: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as interpreted by

Employer (as distinguished from a pension, retirement allowance, severance pay,

interpreted

                                      -4-
   5

from time to time. Any reference to a specific provision of ERISA shall be
deemed to include reference to any successor provision thereto.

         (k) Exchange Act: The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as interpreted
by regulations and rules issued pursuant thereto, all as amended and in effect
from time to time. Any reference to a specific provision of the Exchange Act

         (l) Ford Common Stock: The common stock of Ford Motor Company.

         (m) Ford Stock Units: The hypothetical stock units having a value based

available only for reallocations or transfer of Account balances out of it, and
may determine the timing for any applicable "sunset" period.

         (o) LTIP: The Visteon Corporation 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the

plans subsequently adopted by the Company that are successors to or are similar

Participating

                                      -5-

Employer who has been designated by the Committee as being eligible to
participate in this Plan and, where the context so requires, a former Employee
entitled to receive a benefit hereunder; provided, that the participation in the
Plan is limited to United States citizens (whether residing in or outside of the

based primarily on the value of Visteon Common Stock. To the extent that a cash
dividend would have been payable with respect to the Visteon Stock Units had the
Units been actual shares of Visteon Common Stock, the amount of the cash
dividend shall be converted to Visteon Stock Units and credited to the
Participant's Account as such.

         Section 1.02. Construction and Applicable Law.

         (a) Wherever any words are used in the masculine, they shall be
construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would
so apply; and wherever any words are use in the singular or the plural, they
shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as
the case may be, in all cases

                                      -6-
   7
where they would so apply. Titles of articles and sections are for general
information only, and the Plan is not to be construed by reference to such
items.

         (b) This Plan is intended to be a plan of deferred compensation
maintained for a select group of management or highly compensated employees as
that term is used in ERISA, and shall be interpreted so as to comply with the
applicable requirements thereof. In all other respects, the Plan is to be
construed and its validity determined according to the laws of the State of
Delaware to the extent such laws are not preempted by federal law. In case any
provision of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality
or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but the Plan
shall, to the extent possible, be construed and enforced as if the illegal or
invalid provision had never been inserted.

                           ARTICLE II. PARTICIPATION

         Section 2.01. Eligibility.


                  An Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan only if the
Employee has been designated for participation under the terms of the Plan or by
the Committee.

         Section 2.02. Certain Transfers of Employment.

                  If directed by the Committee, a Participant whose employment
is transferred to a corporation or other entity (the "Transferee Employer") that
is not a Participating Employer, but in which the Company or an affiliate of the
Company holds an ownership interest, then until the earliest to occur of (a) the
date on which the Participant ceases to be employed by such Transferee Employer,
(b) the date on which the Company or an affiliate of the Company no longer holds
an ownership interest in the Transferee Employer, or (c) such other date
determined by the Committee, the Participant shall be treated as if he or she
were still actively employed by a Participating Employer. The foregoing rule
shall apply only for the purpose of determining whether the Participant has
terminated employment for purposes of the distribution provisions of Article V;
it shall not apply, and the Participant shall not be entitled to make additional
Deferrals and/or receive additional benefits with respect to remuneration
attributable to services rendered with the Transferee Employer (other than
deemed investment gain or loss in accordance with Section 4.03). The Committee
may promulgate such additional rules as may be necessary or desirable in
connection with any such transfer of employment.

            ARTICLE III. DEFERRALS AND MATCHING CONTRIBUTION CREDITS

         Section 3.01. Participant Deferrals.


                  In accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee, a
Participant may elect to make Deferrals in accordance with this Article III.

         Section 3.02. Base Salary Deferrals.

         (a) In accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee, a Participant
who is employed in the United States and who is eligible to participate in the
AIC Plan and who is actively employed by the Company in Leadership Level 1-5 or
the equivalent (or any successor employment classification to Leadership Levels
1-5) at the time of the election to defer and at the time the deferral will be
made is eligible to defer payment of from 1% to 50% of base salary in 1%
increments, provided that the Committee has determined that base salary
Deferrals may be made for the employment period covered by such Deferral
election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may impose such
additional limitations on eligibility as it deems appropriate in its sole
discretion.

         (b) A validly executed election shall become effective with respect to
base salary earned by the Participant in the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the Participant's Deferral election is received and
accepted by the Committee, or as soon thereafter as practicable. A Participant's
Deferral election, once effective, shall remain in effect until modified by the
Participant in accordance with subsection (c) below or otherwise revoked in
accordance with Plan rules.


                                      -9-
   10
         (c) A Participant may modify his then current Deferral election by
filing a revised election form, properly completed and signed, with the
Committee. A validly executed revised election will be effective with respect to
base salary earned by the Participant in the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the Participant's revised Deferral election is received
and accepted by the Committee, or as soon thereafter as practicable. A
Participant's revised Deferral election, once effective, shall remain in effect
until again modified by the Participant in accordance with this subsection (c)
or otherwise revoked in accordance with Plan rules.

         Section 3.03. Annual Incentive Compensation Deferrals. (a) In
accordance with rules prescribed by the Committee, a Participant who is employed
in the United States may elect to defer cash award that would otherwise be
payable under the AIC Plan. An eligible Participant may elect to defer payment
under the Plan from 1% to 100%, in 1% increments, of the award amount net of
applicable taxes, but not less than $1,000, provided that such Participants are
actively employed by the Company in Leadership Level 1-5 or the equivalent (or
any successor employment classification to Leadership Levels 1-5) at the time of
the election to defer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may in its
sole discretion allow Deferrals under this subsection (a) by persons who do not
meet the eligibility requirements described above; provided that any such action
does not cause the Plan to be other than a program of deferred compensation for
a select group of management and highly compensated employees for purposes of
Title I of the ERISA, as amended.

         (b) A Participant's election to defer payment of an AIC Plan award
payable in 2001 based upon the 2000 performance year must be made by October 31,
2000. A Participant's election to defer payment of an AIC Plan award payable
with respect to the 2001 or subsequent performance years must be made on or
before June 30 of the performance year for which the award is determined.

         Section 3.04. Deferrals of LTIP Compensation. (a) In accordance with
rules prescribed by the Committee, a Participant who is employed in the United
States and who is eligible to participate in the AIC Plan and the LTIP Plan, may
elect to defer a cash or stock award under the LTIP. An eligible Participant may
elect to defer payment under the Plan from 1% to 100%, in 1% increments, of the
cash portion of an award, net of applicable taxes, but not less than $1,000,
provided that such Participant is actively employed in Leadership Level 1-5 or
the equivalent (or any successor employment classification to Leadership Levels
1-5) at the time of the election to defer. An eligible Participant may elect to
defer payment of a specified whole number of shares up to 100% of such shares,
net of applicable taxes, but not less than a whole number of shares with a value
of at least $1,000 at the time the deferral election is made; and provided that
such Participant is actively employed in Leadership Level 1-5 or the equivalent
at the time of the election to defer. A Participant's election to defer and/or
LTIP Plan award shall be effective only for the performance period to which the
election relates, and a Participant's election does not carry over from
performance period to performance period.

         (b) The Committee shall determine the required timing for participants
to make elections to defer payment of cash or stock LTIP Plan awards.

         (c) Without limiting the Committee's authority under this Section 3.04,
the Committee may impose additional restrictions on the number of Participants
who are eligible to defer LTIP awards, and/or impose additional requirements
with respect to the deemed investment of stock awards.

         Section 3.05. Deferral of New Hire Payments. (a) In accordance with
rules prescribed by the Committee, a Participant who is employed in the United
States, who is eligible to participate in the AIC Plan, and who received an
employment offer from the Company that included a new hire payment in cash is
eligible to defer from 1% to 100%, in 1%

                                      -11-
   12
increments, of such new hire payment net of applicable taxes, but not less than
$1,000, provided that such Participants are actively employed by the Company in
Leadership Level 1-5 or the equivalent (or any successor employment
classification to Leadership Levels 1-5) at the time the new hire payment would
otherwise be payable in the absence of such Deferral.

         (b) A Participant's election to defer payment of a new hire payment
must be made no later than the day the payment would otherwise be made.

         Section 3.06. Mandatory Deferrals. The Committee may determine the
extent to which it may mandatorily defer payment under the Plan of a portion of
any incentive compensation awards made under the AIC Plan or the LTIP Plan.

         Section 3.07. Revocation of Deferral Elections.

         (a) A Participant's Deferral election shall be automatically revoked
upon the Participant's termination of employment from the Participating
Employers, unless the Committee determines otherwise. In addition, if the
Committee determines that the Participant is no longer eligible to participate
in the Plan or that revocation of a Participant's eligibility is necessary or
desirable in order for the Plan to qualify under ERISA as a plan of deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

         (b) The Committee at any time may rescind or correct any Deferrals or
credits to any Account made in error or that jeopardize the intended tax status
or legal compliance of the Plan.

               ARTICLE IV. ACCOUNTING AND HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT

         Section 4.01. Accounting.

                  A Participant Account balance at any point in time shall be
equal to:

         (a) the bookkeeping amount (if any) credited to the Participant as of
June 30, 2000 under the Ford Motor Company Deferred Compensation Plan and
transferred in book entry form to this Plan; plus

         (b) any Deferrals credited to the Participant's Account on or after
July 1, 2000 in accordance with Article III, plus (or minus)

         (c) increases (or decreases) in value, as the case may be, to reflect
deemed investment gain or loss that would have occurred had the Participant's
Account been invested in accordance with Sections 4.02 and 4.03 below; minus

         (d) any distributions from the Account.

         Section 4.02. Hypothetical Investment of Participant Accounts.

         (a) Investment Designation. In accordance with rules prescribed by the
Committee, each Participant shall designate, in writing or in such other manner
as the Committee may prescribe, how Deferrals made while the designation is in
effect are credited among the Investment Options. When selecting more than one
Investment Option, the Participant shall designate, in whole multiples of 1% or
such other percentage determined by the Committee, the percentage of his or her
Deferrals to be credited to each Investment Option. A Participant's election
shall become effective beginning with the first payroll period commencing on or
after the date on which the election is received and accepted by the Committee,
and shall remain in effect unless and until modified by a subsequent election
that becomes effective in accordance with the rules of this subsection.

                                      -13-
   14


         (b) Reallocation of Account. In accordance with rules prescribed by the
Committee, each Participant (or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant) may
elect to reallocate his or her Account among the Investment Options. When
selecting more than one Investment Option, the Participant shall designate, in
whole multiples of 1% or such other percentage determined by the Committee, the
percentage of his or her Account that is deemed to be invested in each
Investment Option after the investment reallocation is given effect. A
Participant's reallocation election, once effective, shall remain in effect
unless and until modified by a subsequent election that becomes effective in
accordance with the rules of this subsection. Other than a reallocation of a
Participant's Account pursuant to a revised investment election submitted by the
Participant, the deemed investment allocation of a Participant will not be
adjusted to reflect differences in the relative deemed investment return
realized by the various Investment Options that the Participant has designated.

         (c) Limitations. Without limiting the Committee's authority under this
Section 4.03, the Committee may direct that Deferrals of stock awards be
mandatorily converted into Visteon Stock Units such that the investment
designation and reallocation rules set forth in subsections (a) and (b) above
shall not apply to such Deferral.

         Section 4.03. Deemed Investment Gain or Loss. On a daily basis or such
other basis as the Committee may prescribe, the Account of each Participant will
be credited (or charged) based upon the investment gain (or loss) that the
Participant would have realized with respect to his or her Account had the
Account been invested in accordance with the terms of the Plan and any
investment reallocation elections made by the Participant. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, where an Investment Option is also an available
investment option under the Visteon Investment Plan, the methodology for valuing
the Investment Option under this Plan and for calculating amounts to be

                                      -14-
   15
credited or debited or other adjustments to any Account with respect to that
Investment Option shall be the same as the methodology used for valuing the
corresponding investment option under the Visteon Investment Plan.

         Section 4.04. Special Rules With Respect to Ford Stock Units.

         (a) The bookkeeping account accrued by certain Participants under the
Ford Motor Company Deferred Compensation Plan was transferred to this Plan. One
the hypothetical investment options available under the Ford Motor Company
Deferred Compensation Plan was an investment in Ford Stock Units. In addition to
the Investment Options otherwise established by the Committee, the Plan shall
have a Ford Stock Unit fund with respect to amounts transferred from the Ford
Motor Company Deferred Compensation Plan that were deemed to be invested in the
Ford Stock Unit fund at the time of transfer, but the Ford Stock Unit fund shall
be a "sell only" fund that is not available for the deemed investment of new
Deferrals under Section 4.02(a) above or the reallocation of Deferrals from
other Investment Options in accordance with Section 4.02(b) above.

         (b) In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in
corporate structure of the Ford Motor Company affecting Ford Common Stock, the
Committee may make appropriate equitable adjustments with respect to the Ford
Stock Units (if any) credited to the Account of each Participant, including
without limitation, adjusting the number of such Units or the date as of which
such units are valued and/or distributed, as the Committee determines is
necessary or desirable to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits
intended to be provided under the Plan.

         Section 4.05. Accounts are For Record Keeping Purposes Only.

                  Plan Accounts and the record keeping procedures described
herein serve

                                      -15-
   16
solely as a device for determining the amount of benefits accumulated by a
Participant under the Plan, and shall not constitute or imply an obligation on
the part of a Participating Employer to fund such benefits. In any event, a
Participating Employer may, in its discretion, set aside assets equal to part or
all of such account balances and invest such assets in Visteon Common Stock,
life insurance or any other investment deemed appropriate. Any such assets shall
be and remain the sole property of the Participating Employer, and a Participant
shall have no proprietary rights of any nature whatsoever with respect to such
assets.

         Section 5.01. Distribution of Account.


         (a) Subject to subsection (b) below, each participant shall make a
destribution election with respect to each Deferred to this Plan.  The Plan will
honor a Participant's distribution election made under the Ford Motor Company
Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to Deferrals transferred from the Ford
Motor Company Deferred Compensation Plan to this Plan; provided that a
Participant, on or before March 31, 2001, may make a one-time election on or
before March 31, 2001 to revoke the Participant's prior election with respect to
the form and time of distribution of any such Deferral and make a new election
with respect to such Deferral in accordance with subsection (b) below.

         (b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02, 5.03 or 7.07, or as
otherwise

                                      -17-
   18
determined by the Committee, distribution of the Participant's Ford Deferral
Subaccount shall be made on, or as soon thereafter as practicable, (i) March 15
of the year selected by the Participant for distribution with respect to the
particular Deferral if the Participant is an active employee of the Company on
the distribution date, (ii) the March 15 following death or termination for
reasons other than retirement, notwithstanding any prior selection by the
Participant of a subsequent year for distribution with respect to the particular
Deferral, (iii) the March 15 following retirement if the Participant selected
distribution upon retirement with respect to the particular Deferral and a lump
sum distribution was selected, or if the Participant selected a particular year
for distribution with respect to the particular Deferral but retired prior to
the year selected, or (iv) the March 15 following retirement with respect to the
first annual installment and continuing on the applicable number of consecutive
anniversaries of such date for the number of annual installments (not to exceed
ten) as were selected by the Participant with respect to the particular
Deferral.

         (c) If installment distributions are payable, the amount of the first
installment will be an amount determined by dividing the value of the
Participant's Ford Deferral Subaccount or part thereof relating to a particular
distribution, as of the applicable valuation date as determined below, by the
number of installments selected by the Participant. Each subsequent distribution
will be an amount determined by dividing the value of the Participant's Account
or part thereof relating to a particular distribution, as of the applicable
valuation date as determined below, by the number of remaining installment
payments under the method selected by the Participant. Except for installment
distributions under clause (iv) of subsection (b) above, all distributions shall
be in the form of a lump sum payment. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, the Account or part thereof relating to a particular distribution
shall be valued, for purposes of the distribution, as of the following
applicable date or as soon thereafter as practicable: March 15 of the year of

                                      -18-
   19
distribution or the next preceding day for which valuation information is
available.

         Section 5.03. Hardship Distributions. At the written request of a
Participant, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize the cessation
of Deferrals under the Plan by such Participant and distribution of all or any
part of the Participant's Account prior to his or her scheduled distribution
date or dates, or accelerate payment of any installment payable with respect to
any Deferral, upon a showing of unforeseeable emergency by the Participant. For
purposes of this Section, "unforeseeable emergency" shall mean severe financial
hardship resulting from extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as
a result of one or more recent events beyond the control of the Participant. In
any event, payment shall not be made to the extent such emergency is or may be
relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,
(ii) by liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation
of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship and (iii) by
cessation of Deferrals under the Plan. Withdrawals of amounts because of
unforeseeable emergency shall only be permitted to the extent reasonably
necessary to satisfy the emergency. Examples of what are not considered to be
unforeseeable emergencies include the need to send a Participant's child to
college or the desire to purchase a home. The Committee shall determine the
applicable distribution date and the date as of which the amount to be
distributed shall be valued with respect to any financial hardship withdrawal or
distribution. Any Participant whose Deferrals have ceased under the Plan
pursuant to this Section may not elect to recommence Deferrals until the next
applicable Deferral period.

         Section 5.04. Distribution Upon Death.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of the

                  In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in
corporate structure of the Company affecting Visteon Common Stock, the Committee
may make appropriate equitable adjustments with respect to the Visteon Stock
Units (if any) credited to the Account of each Participant, including without
limitation, adjusting the number of such Units or the date as of which such
units are valued and/or distributed, as the Committee determines is necessary or
desirable to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be
provided under the Plan.

         Section 6.02. No Shareholder Rights With Respect to Visteon Stock
Units.

                  Participants shall have no rights as a stockholder pertaining

                         ARTICLE VII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

         Section 7.01. Administration.

         (a) The Committee shall administer and interpret the Plan and supervise
preparation of Participant elections, forms, and any amendments thereto. To the
extent necessary to comply with applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3, the
Committee shall consist of not less than two members of the Board, each of whom
is also a director of the Company and qualifies as a "non-employee director" for
purposes of Rule 16b-3. If at any time the Committee shall not be in existence
or not be composed of members of the Board who qualify as "non-employee
directors", then all determinations affecting Participants who are subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be made by the full Board, and all
determinations affecting other Participants shall be made by the Board or an
officer appointed by the Board. The Committee may, in its discretion, delegate
any or all of its authority and responsibility; provided that the Committee
shall not delegate authority and responsibility with respect to non-ministerial
functions that relate to the participation by Participants who are subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time any such delegated authority or
responsibility is exercised. To the extent of any such delegation, any
references herein to the Committee shall be deemed references to such delegee.
The Committee (or where applicable, the Board) may adopt and modify rules and
regulations relating to the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan. If any delegee of the Committee shall also be a
Participant or Beneficiary, any determinations affecting the delegee's
participation in the Plan shall be made by the Committee.

         (b) The Committee (or where applicable, the Board) shall have the
discretionary authority to interpret and construe the Plan, to make benefit
determination under the Plan, and to take all other actions that may be
necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan. Each determination,
interpretation or other action made or

                                      -21-
   22
taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan by the Committee shall be final and
shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons,
including, but without limitation thereto, the Company, its stockholders, the
Participating Employers, the directors, officers, and employees of the Company
or a Participating Employer, the Plan participants, and their respective
successors in interest.

         Section 7.02. Restrictions to Comply with Applicable Law.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have
no liability to make any payment under the Plan unless such delivery or payment
would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any
securities exchange or similar entity. In addition, transactions under the Plan
are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act. The Committee shall administer the Plan so that transactions under
the Plan will be exempt from Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and shall have the
right to restrict or prohibit any transaction to the extent it deems such action
necessary or desirable for such exemption to be met.

          Section 7.03. Claims Procedures.

         (a) If a Participant or Beneficiary believes that he or she has not
received the full benefit provided for in the Plan, the Participant or
Beneficiary may file a claim for benefits with the Committee. If the Committee
denies the claim, the Committee shall deliver to the claimant a written
explanation setting forth the specific reasons for the denial, pertinent
references to the Plan section on which the denial is based, such other
information as may be pertinent and a description of the procedures to be
followed by the claimant in obtaining a review of his or her claim. For purposes
of this subsection, the claimant's claim shall be deemed filed when presented in
writing to the Committee and the Committee's explanation shall be provided to
the claimant within ninety (90) days of the date the claim is filed.


                                      -22-

   23
         (b) The claimant shall be provided sixty (60) days following his or her
receipt of the denial of the claim to file a written request for appeal to the
Committee. The claimant and his or her representative may present additional
information or documents pertinent to the Committee's review. The Committee
shall decide the issue on appeal, which decision shall be final, and furnish the
claimant with a written decision of his or her claim on review within sixty (60)
days of receipt of claimant's request for appeal. The Committee's decision shall
indicate the specific reasons for the decision and the pertinent provisions of
the Plan on which the decision is based. If the Committee does not furnish a
written decision to the claimant within such sixty (60) day period, the claim
shall be deemed denied on appeal.

         Section 7.04. Participant Rights Unsecured.

         (a) Unsecured Claim. The right of a Participant or his Beneficiary to
receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim, and neither the
Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any amount
credited to his Account or any other specific assets of a Participating
Employer. The right of a Participant or Beneficiary to the payment of benefits
under this Plan shall not be assigned, encumbered, or transferred, except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. The rights of a Participant
hereunder are exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by him or his
guardian or legal representative.

         (b) Contractual Obligation. The Company may authorize the creation of a
trust or other arrangements to assist it in meeting the obligations created
under the Plan. However, any liability to any person with respect to the Plan
shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created
pursuant to the Plan. No obligation of a Participating Employer shall be deemed
to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of a
Participating Employer. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken
pursuant to its terms shall create or be construed to create a

                                      -23-
   24
trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between a Participating Employer
and any Participant or Beneficiary, or any other person.

         Section 7.05. Income Tax Withholding.

                  The Company shall withhold from any benefit payment amounts
required to be withheld for Federal and State income and other applicable taxes.

         Section 7.06. Amendment or Termination of Plan.

                  There shall be no time limit on the duration of the Plan. The
Board (or where specified herein, the Committee) may at any time amend or
terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment or termination may
reduce or eliminate any Account balance accrued to the date of such amendment or
termination (except as such Account balance may be reduced as a result of
investment losses allocable to such Account).

         Section 7.07. Effect of Inimical Conduct. Anything contained in the
Plan notwithstanding, all rights of a Participant under the Plan to receive
distribution of all or any part of his or her Account shall cease on and as of
the date on which it has been determined by the Committee that such Participant
at any time (whether before or subsequent to termination of such Participant's
employment) acted in a manner inimical to the best interests of the Company or a
subsidiary or affiliate thereof.

         Section 7.08. No Assignment of Benefits. No rights or benefits under
the Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically provided by law, be subject to
assignment (except for the designation of beneficiaries pursuant to subsection
(c) of Section 1.01), nor shall such rights or benefits be subject to attachment
or legal process for or against a Participant or his or her Beneficiary.

         Section 7.09. Administrative Expenses.

                  Costs of establishing and administering the Plan will be paid
by the Participating Employers.

         Section 7.10. Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans.

                  Deferrals credited to a Participant's Account under this Plan
shall not be considered "compensation" for the purpose of computing benefits
under any qualified retirement plan maintained by a Participating Employer, but
shall be considered compensation for welfare benefit plans, such as life and
disability insurance programs sponsored by a Participating Employer, unless
otherwise specifically provided by the terms of such plan.

         Section 7.11. Successors and Assigns.

                  This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Participating Employers, their successors and assigns and the Participants
and their heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives.

                  The Visteon Corporation Savings Parity Plan (the "Plan") has
been adopted to promote the best interests of Visteon Corporation (the

the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates and encouraging their continued
loyalty, service and counsel to the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates.

context in which the term is used clearly indicates otherwise:

         (a) Account: The record keeping account maintained to record the
interest of each Participant under the Plan. An Account is established for
record keeping purposes only and not to reflect the physical segregation of
assets on the Participant's behalf, and may consist of such subaccounts or
balances as the Committee may determine to be necessary or appropriate.

         (b) Beneficiary: The person or entity designated by a Participant to be
his beneficiary for purposes of this Plan (subject to such limitations as to the
classes and number of beneficiaries and contingent beneficiaries and such other
limitations as the Committee may prescribe). A Participant's designation of
Beneficiary shall be valid and in effect only if a properly executed designation
is filed and approved by the Committee prior to the Participant's death. If a
Participant designates his spouse as a beneficiary, such beneficiary designation
automatically shall become null and void on the date of the Participant's
divorce or legal separation from such spouse. If a valid designation of
Beneficiary is not in effect at time of the Participant's death, the estate of
the Participant is deemed to be the sole Beneficiary. Beneficiary designations
shall be in writing, filed with the Committee, and in such form as the Committee
may prescribe for this purpose.

         (c) Board: The Board of Directors of the Company.

         (d) Code: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as interpreted by

election under Section 3.01, to the Participant's Account in lieu of the payment
of an equal amount of cash compensation to the Participant.

         (h) Employee: A person who is regularly employed by a Participating
Employer (as distinguished from a pension, retirement allowance, severance pay,
retainer, commission, fee under a contract or other arrangement, or hourly,
piecework or other wage) and is enrolled on the active employment rolls of the
Participating Employer.

         (i) ERISA: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
interpreted by regulations and rulings issued pursuant thereto, all as amended
and in effect from time to time. Any reference to a specific provision of ERISA
shall be deemed to include reference to any successor provision thereto.

         (j) Exchange Act: The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as interpreted
by regulations and rules issued pursuant thereto, all as amended and in effect
from time to time. Any reference to a specific provision of the Exchange Act
shall be deemed to include reference to any successor provision thereto.

         (k) Investment Options: The hypothetical investment accounts that the
Committee may from time to time establish, which may, but need not, be based
upon one or more of the investment options available under the Visteon
Investment Plan. The Committee may determine to discontinue any previously
established Investment Option, may make an Investment Option available only for
reallocations or transfer of Account balances out of it, and may determine the
timing for any applicable "sunset" period.

         (l) Limitations: The limitations on benefits and/or contributions
imposed on qualified plans by Section 415 and Section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

         (m) Participant: Subject to Section 2.02, a common law Employee of a

former Employee entitled to receive a benefit hereunder.


                                      -4-
   5
         (n) Participating Employer: The Company and any subsidiary a majority
of the voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by the Company or a
limited liability company a majority of the membership interest of which is
owned directly or indirectly by the Company, that with the consent of the
Committee, participates in the Plan for the benefit of one or more Participants
in its employ.

         (o) Visteon Common Stock: The common stock of the Company.

         (p) Visteon Common Stock Fund: The Visteon Common Stock Fund that is an
available investment option under the Visteon Investment Plan.

and in effect from time to time.

         (r) Visteon Stock Units: The hypothetical stock units having a value
based primarily on the value of Visteon Common Stock. To the extent that a cash
dividend would have been payable with respect to the Visteon Stock Units had the
units been actual shares of Visteon Common Stock, the amount of the cash
dividend shall be converted to Visteon Stock Units and credited to the
Participant's Account as such.

         Section 1.02. Construction and Applicable Law.

         (a) Wherever any words are used in the masculine, they shall be
construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would
so apply; and wherever any words are use in the singular or the plural, they
shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as
the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply. Titles of articles and
sections are for general information only, and the Plan is not to be construed
by reference to such items.

         (b) This Plan is intended to be a plan of deferred compensation
maintained for a select group of management or highly compensated employees as
that term is used in ERISA, and shall be interpreted so as to comply with the
applicable requirements thereof. In all other respects, the Plan is to be
construed and its validity determined according to the laws of the State of
Delaware to the extent such laws are not preempted by federal law. In case any
provision of the Plan is

                                      -5-
   6
held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but the Plan shall, to the extent
possible, be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had
never been inserted.

                           ARTICLE II. PARTICIPATION

         Section 2.01. Eligibility.

                  An Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan only if the
Employee has been designated for participation under the terms of the Plan or by
the Committee.

         Section 2.02. Certain Transfers of Employment.

                  If directed by the Committee, a Participant whose employment
is transferred to a corporation or other entity (the "Transferee Employer") that
is not a Participating Employer, but in which the Company or an affiliate of the
Company holds an ownership interest, then until the earliest to occur of (a) the
date on which the Participant ceases to be employed by such Transferee Employer,
(b) the date on which the Company or an affiliate of the Company no longer holds
an ownership interest in the Transferee Employer, or (c) such other date
determined by the Committee, the Participant shall be treated as if he or she
were still actively employed by a Participating Employer. The foregoing rule
shall apply only for the purpose of determining whether the Participant has
terminated employment for purposes of the distribution provisions of Section
4.04; it shall not apply, and the Participant shall not be entitled to make
additional Deferrals and/or receive additional benefits with respect to
remuneration attributable to services rendered with the Transferee Employer
(other than deemed investment gain or loss in accordance with Section 4.03). The
Committee may promulgate such additional rules as may be necessary or desirable
in connection with any such transfer of employment.

                   ARTICLE III. MATCHING CONTRIBUTION CREDITS

         Section 3.01. Matching Contribution Credits. If contributions by or on
behalf of a Participant under the Visteon Investment Plan, and the related
Company matching contributions under the Visteon Investment Plan, for any plan
year beginning on or after July 1, 2000, are restricted in order to comply with
the Limitations, there shall be credited to the Participant's Account an amount
equal to the difference between (i) the matching contribution which would have
been made under the Visteon Investment Plan based upon the Participant's actual
elections under that plan had the Participant's elections been applied without
regard to the Limitations, and (ii) the matching contribution actually allocated
to the Participant's account under the Visteon Investment Plan for the plan
year.

                ARTICLE IV. ACCOUNTING, HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT

                                AND DISTRIBUTION

         Section 4.01. Accounting.

         A Participant Account balance at any point in time shall be equal to:

         (a) the bookkeeping amount (if any) credited to the Participant as of
June 30, 2000 under the Ford Motor Company Benefit Equalization Plan (defined
contribution component) and transferred in book entry form to this Plan; plus

         (b) any amounts credited to the Participant's Account on or after July
1, 2000 under the terms of this Plan, plus (or minus)

         (c) increases (or decreases) in value, as the case may be, to reflect
deemed investment gain or loss that would have occurred had the Participant's
Account been invested in accordance with Sections 4.02 and 4.03 below; minus

         (d) any withdrawals or distributions from the Account.

         Section 4.02. Hypothetical Investment of Participant Accounts.


         (a) Deemed Investment of Matching Contribution Credits. Subject to a
Participant's right to reallocate the deemed investment of his Account in
accordance with subsection (b) below, all Matching Contribution Credits under
Section 3.01 (the "Convertible Amount") shall be treated as if they were
invested in the Visteon Common Stock Fund. Accordingly, the Convertible Amount
shall be converted, for record keeping purposes, into whole and fractional
Visteon Stock Units in accordance with the rules applicable to the purchase of
units under the Visteon Common Stock Fund. Likewise, any dividends that would
have been payable on the Visteon Stock Units credited to a Participant's Account
had such Units been actual shares of Visteon Common Stock shall be converted,
for record keeping purposes, into whole and fractional Visteon Stock Units in
accordance with the rules applicable to the purchase of units under the Visteon
Common Stock Fund.


                                      -9-
   10
         (b) Reallocation of Account. In accordance with rules prescribed by the
Committee, each Participant may elect to reallocate his or her Account among the
Investment Options. When selecting more than one Investment Option, the
Participant shall designate, in whole multiples of 1% or such other percentage
determined by the Committee, the percentage of his or her Account that is deemed
to be invested in each Investment Option after the investment reallocation is
given effect. A Participant's reallocation election, once effective, shall
remain in effect unless and until modified by a subsequent election that becomes
effective in accordance with the rules of this subsection. Other than a
reallocation of a Participant's Account pursuant to a revised investment
election submitted by the Participant, the deemed investment allocation of a
Participant will not be adjusted to reflect differences in the relative deemed
investment return realized by the various Investment Options that the
Participant has designated.

         Section 4.03. Deemed Investment Gain or Loss. On a daily basis or such
other basis as the Committee may prescribe, the Account of each Participant will
be credited (or charged) based upon the investment gain (or loss) that the
Participant would have realized with respect to his or her Account had the
Account been invested in accordance with the terms of the Plan and any
investment reallocation elections made by the Participant. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, where an Investment Option is also an available
investment option under the Visteon Investment Plan, the methodology for valuing
the Investment Option under this Plan and for calculating amounts to be credited
or debited or other adjustments to any Account with respect to that Investment
Option shall be the same as the methodology used for valuing the corresponding
investment option under the Visteon Investment Plan.

         Section 4.04. Distribution,

         The balance in a Participant's Account shall be paid, in cash, by the
Participating Employer to the Participant, or if the Participant is deceased, to
the Participant's Beneficiary. Payment shall be made as soon as practicable
after the Participant's death, retirement or other termination of employment.
The amount of the payment shall be equal to the amount credited to the
Participant's Account at the time of distribution as determined under this
Article IV.

         Section 4.05. Accounts are For Record Keeping Purposes Only.

         Plan Accounts and the record keeping procedures described herein serve
solely as a device for determining the amount of benefits accumulated by a
Participant under the Plan, and shall not constitute or imply an obligation on
the part of a Participating Employer to fund such benefits. In any event, a
Participating Employer may, in its discretion, set aside assets equal to part or
all of such account balances and invest such assets in Visteon Common Stock,
life insurance or any other investment deemed appropriate. Any such assets shall
be and remain the sole property of the Participating Employer, and a Participant
shall have no proprietary rights of any nature whatsoever with respect to such
assets.

                              VISTEON STOCK UNITS

         Section 5.01. Transactions Affecting Visteon Common Stock.


In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in corporate
structure of the Company affecting Visteon Common Stock, the Committee may make
appropriate equitable adjustments with respect to the Visteon Stock Units (if
any) credited to the Account of each Participant, including without limitation,
adjusting the number of such Units or the date as of which such units are valued
and/or distributed, as the Committee determines is necessary or desirable to
prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be provided
under the Plan.

         Section 5.02. No Shareholder Rights With Respect to Visteon Stock
Units.

                  Participants shall have no rights as a stockholder pertaining
to Visteon Stock Units credited to their Accounts.

                         ARTICLE VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

         Section 6.01. Administration.


         (a) The Committee shall administer and interpret the Plan and supervise
preparation of Participant elections, forms, and any amendments thereto. To the
extent necessary to comply with applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3, the
Committee shall consist of not less than two members of the Board, each of whom
is also a director of the Company and qualifies as a "non-employee director" for
purposes of Rule 16b-3. If at any time the Committee shall not be in existence
or not be composed of members of the Board who qualify as "non-employee
directors", then all determinations affecting Participants who are subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be made by the full Board, and all
determinations affecting other Participants shall be made by the Board or an
officer appointed by the Board. The Committee may, in its discretion, delegate
any or all of its authority and responsibility; provided that the Committee
shall not delegate authority and responsibility with respect to non-ministerial
functions that relate to the participation by Participants who are subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time any such delegated authority or

         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have
no liability to make any payment under the Plan unless such delivery or payment
would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any
securities exchange or similar entity. In addition, transactions under the Plan
are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act. The Committee shall administer the Plan so that transactions under
the Plan will be exempt from Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and shall have the
right to restrict or prohibit any transaction to the extent it deems such action
necessary or desirable for such exemption to be met.

         Section 6.03. Claims Procedures.

         (a) If a Participant or Beneficiary believes that he or she has not
received the full benefit provided for in the Plan, the Participant or
Beneficiary may file a claim for benefits with the Committee. If the Committee
denies the claim, the Committee shall deliver to the claimant a written
explanation setting forth the specific reasons for the denial, pertinent
references to the Plan section on which the denial is based, such other
information as may be pertinent and a description of the procedures to be
followed by the claimant in obtaining a review of his or her claim. For purposes
of this subsection, the claimant's claim shall be deemed filed when presented in
writing to the Committee and the Committee's explanation shall be provided to
the claimant within ninety (90) days of the date the claim is filed.

         (b) The claimant shall be provided sixty (60) days following his or her
receipt of the denial of the claim to file a written request for appeal to the

information or documents pertinent to the Committee's review. The Committee

claimant with a written decision of his or her claim on review within sixty (60)
days of receipt of claimant's request for appeal. The Committee's decision shall
indicate the specific reasons for the decision and the pertinent provisions of
the Plan on which the decision is based. If the Committee does not furnish a
written decision to the claimant within such sixty (60) day period, the claim
shall be deemed denied on appeal.

receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim, and neither the
Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any amount
credited to his Account or any other specific assets of a Participating
Employer. The right of a Participant or Beneficiary to the payment of benefits
under this Plan shall not be assigned, encumbered, or transferred, except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. The rights of a Participant
hereunder are exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by him or his
guardian or legal representative.

         (b) Contractual Obligation. The Company may authorize the creation of a
trust or other arrangements to assist it in meeting the obligations created
under the Plan. However, any liability to any person with respect to the Plan
shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created
pursuant to the Plan. No obligation of a Participating Employer shall be deemed
to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of a
Participating Employer. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken
pursuant to its terms shall create or be construed to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary relationship between a Participating Employer and any
Participant or Beneficiary, or any other person.

         Section 6.05. Income Tax Withholding.

         The Company shall withhold from any benefit payment amounts required to
be withheld for Federal and State income and other applicable taxes.

         Section 6.06. Amendment or Termination of Plan.

         There shall be no time limit on the duration of the Plan. The Board (or
where specified herein, the Committee) may at any time amend or terminate the
Plan; provided, however, that no amendment or termination may reduce or
eliminate any Account balance accrued to the date of such amendment or
termination (except as such Account balance may be reduced as a result of
investment losses allocable to such Account).

         Section 6.07. Effect of Inimical Conduct. Anything contained in the
Plan notwithstanding, all rights of a Participant under the Plan to receive
distribution of all or any part of his or her Account shall cease on and as of
the date on which it has been determined by the Committee that such Participant
at any time (whether before or subsequent to termination of such

                                      -15-
   16
Participant's employment) acted in a manner inimical to the best interests of
the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof.

         Section 6.08. No Assignment of Benefits. No rights or benefits under
the Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically provided by law, be subject to
assignment (except for the designation of beneficiaries pursuant to subsection
(b) of Section 1.01), nor shall such rights or benefits be subject to attachment
or legal process for or against a Participant or his or her Beneficiary.

         Section 6.09. Administrative Expenses.

         Costs of establishing and administering the Plan will be paid by the
Participating Employers.

         Section 6.10. Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans.

         Deferrals credited to a Participant's Account under this Plan shall not
be considered "compensation" for the purpose of computing benefits under any
qualified retirement plan maintained by a Participating Employer, but shall be
considered compensation for welfare benefit plans, such as life and disability
insurance programs sponsored by a Participating Employer, unless otherwise
specifically provided by the terms of such plan.

         Section 6.11. Successors and Assigns.

         This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Participating Employers, their successors and assigns and the Participants and
their heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives.

provided to each Participant whose benefit under the Retirement Plan is
restricted because of the Limitations.

      (a) The Pension Parity Benefit shall be a periodic benefit equal in amount
to the difference between (i) the benefit that is payable to or on behalf of a
Participant under the Retirement Plan, and (ii) the corresponding benefit that
would be payable under the Retirement Plan if such benefit were calculated
without regard to the Limitations.

      (b) The Pension Parity Benefit shall be paid by the Participating Employer
in the same form and for the same period as is paid the corresponding benefit
under the Retirement Plan. Accordingly, the Pension Parity Benefit shall be paid

Retirement Plan with each payment being made, as nearly as practicable, at the
same as the corresponding benefit from the Retirement Plan.

      Section 3.03. Optional Distribution Method.

described in Section 3.02 above, subject to the following conditions and such
other conditions as may be determined by the Committee:

            (i)   The actuarial equivalent lump sum payment shall be determined

   8
                  basis of the interest rates and mortality tables which would
                  be used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for
                  determining the present value of liability for pensioners'
                  benefits in the case of a terminated retirement plan under
                  Title IV of ERISA and which are in effect in the month prior
                  to the month when the Participant's Pension Parity Benefit is
                  scheduled to begin.

            (ii)  The agreement must be entered into (A) prior to the year in
                  which the Participant's retirement occurs and (B) not later
                  than six months before the actual retirement date.

            (iii) The agreement, once entered, is irrevocable.

            (iv)  Evidence of good health at the time of the agreement will be
                  required.

      (b) Payment of the lump sum benefit shall be made by the Company as soon
as practicable after payment of the Participant's benefit under the Retirement
Plan begins.

Only.

            The Pension Parity Benefit, and the record keeping procedures
described herein serve solely as a device for determining the amount of benefits
accumulated by a Participant under the Plan, and shall not constitute or imply
an obligation on the part of a Participating Employer to fund such benefits. In
any event, a Participating Employer may, in its discretion, set aside assets
equal to part or all of such benefit and invest such assets in Visteon common
stock, life insurance or any other investment deemed appropriate. Any such
assets shall be and remain the sole property of the Participating Employer, and
a Participant shall have no proprietary rights of any nature whatsoever with
respect to such assets.

deemed references to such delegee. The Committee (or where applicable, the
Board) may adopt and modify rules and regulations relating to the Plan as it

interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan by the Committee shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive for all
purposes and upon all persons, including, but without limitation thereto, the
Company, its stockholders, the Participating Employers, the directors, officers,
and employees of the Company or a Participating Employer, the Plan participants,
and their respective successors in interest.

denies the claim, the Committee shall deliver to the claimant a written
explanation setting forth the specific reasons for the denial, pertinent
references to the Plan section on which the denial is based, such other

followed by the claimant in obtaining a review of his or her claim. For purposes
of this subsection, the claimant's claim shall be deemed filed when presented in

            The percentage shall be reduced pro rata to the extent that Credited
Service at retirement is less than 30 years. Solely for the purpose of
determining whether an Eligible Executive who is a Transferred Employee under
the Visteon Pension Plan has 30 years of service under this Section 3.02(b), an
Eligible Executive's years of credited service under the Ford Motor Company
General Retirement Plan, to the extent not otherwise included in the Eligible
Executive's Credited Service, shall be recognized.

      Section 3.03. Payments.

            (a) Subject to the earning-out conditions set forth in Article IV,

been age 55 at death, increased by one-third of one month for each full month by
which such Eligible Executive's age at death shall exceed age 55. If death

                  such waiver may be granted by the Committee upon its
                  determination that in its sole judgment there shall not have
                  been and will not be any substantial adverse effect upon the
                  Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof by reason of
                  the nonfulfillment of such condition; and

engaging in an activity that is directly or indirectly in competition with any
activity of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall be governed
by subsections (a) and (b) above and shall not be subject to any determination
under this subsection (c).

made by the Board or an officer appointed by the Board. The Committee may, in
its discretion, delegate any or all of its authority and responsibility. To the
extent of any such delegation, any references herein to the Committee shall be
deemed references to such delegee. The Committee (or where applicable, the
Board) may adopt and modify rules and regulations relating to the Plan as it

purposes and upon all persons, including, but without limitation thereto, the
Company, its stockholders, the Participating Employers, the directors, officers,
and employees of the Company or a Participating Employer, the Plan participants,
and their respective successors in interest.

      Section 5.02. Restrictions to Comply with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability to make any
payment under the Plan unless such delivery or payment would comply with all
applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or
similar entity.

      Section 5.03. Deductions. The Company may deduct from any payment of
Supplemental Benefits and/or Conditional Annuity awards to an Eligible Retired
Executive all amounts owing to it by such Eligible Retired Executive for any
reason, and all taxes required by law or government regulation to be deducted or

      Section 5.04. Claims Procedure.

      (a) If a Participant or Beneficiary believes that he or she has not
received the full benefit provided for in the Plan, the Participant or
Beneficiary may file a claim for benefits with the Committee. If the Committee
denies the claim, the Committee shall deliver to the claimant a written
explanation setting forth the specific reasons for the denial, pertinent
references to the Plan section on which the denial is based, such other
information as may be pertinent and a description of the procedures to be
followed by the claimant in obtaining a review of his or her claim. For purposes
of this subsection, the claimant's claim shall be deemed filed when presented in
writing to the Committee and the Committee's explanation shall be provided to
the claimant within ninety (90) days of the date the claim is filed.

      (b) The claimant shall be provided sixty (60) days following his or her
receipt of the denial of the claim to file a written request for appeal to the

   17
Committee's decision shall indicate the specific reasons for the decision and
the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If the
Committee does not furnish a written decision to the claimant within such sixty

      Section 5.05. Participant Rights Unsecured.

      (a) Unsecured Claim. The right of a Participant or his Beneficiary to
receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim, and neither the

under this Plan shall not be assigned, encumbered, or transferred, except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. The rights of a Participant
hereunder are exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by him or his
guardian or legal representative.

      (b) Contractual Obligation. The Company may authorize the creation of a
trust or other arrangements to assist it in meeting the obligations created
under the Plan. However, any liability to any person with respect to the Plan
shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created
pursuant to the Plan. No obligation of a Participating Employer shall be deemed
to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of a
Participating Employer. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken
pursuant to its terms shall create or be construed to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary relationship between a Participating Employer and any
