Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement of a Registrant.
On November 18, 2009, Visteon Corporation (the “Company”) the Company entered into a $150
million Senior Secured Super Priority Priming Debtor in Possession Credit and Guaranty Agreement
(the “DIP Credit Agreement’), with certain subsidiaries of the Company, a syndicate of lenders, and
Wilmington Trust FSB, as administrative agent. The Company’s domestic subsidiaries that are also
debtors and debtors-in-possession are guarantors under the DIP Credit Agreement. Borrowings under
the DIP Credit Agreement are secured by, among other things, a first priority perfected security
interest in assets that constitute first priority collateral under pre-petition secured term loans,
as well as a second priority perfected security interest in assets that constitute first priority
collateral under pre-petition secured asset-based revolving loans.
On November 18, 2009, the Company borrowed $75 million under the DIP Credit Agreement. The
Company may borrow the remaining $75 million in one additional advance prior to maturity, subject
to certain conditions, including a condition that the Company shall not have filed a plan of
reorganization that does not provide for full payment of the obligations under the DIP Credit
Agreement in cash by the effective date of such plan. Borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement
are to be used to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate
purposes in accordance with an approved budget.
The DIP Credit Agreement matures and expires on the earliest of (i) May 18, 2010; provided,
that the Company may extend it an additional three months, (ii) the effective date of the Company’s
plan of reorganization, and (c) the date a sale or sales of all or substantially all of the
Company’s and guarantors’ assets is or are consummated under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement are issued at a 3.00% discount and bear interest at
variable rates equal to (i) 6.50% (or 8.50% in the event a default), plus (ii) a Eurodollar rate
(subject to a floor of 3.00% per annum). The Company will also pay a fee of 1.00% per annum on the
unused portion of the $150 million available, payable monthly in arrears.
The DIP Credit Agreement contains, among other things, conditions precedent, covenants,
representations and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of this type. Such
covenants include the requirement to provide certain financial reports, use the proceeds of certain
sales of collateral to prepay outstanding loans, certain restrictions on the incurrence of
indebtedness, guarantees, liens, acquisitions and other investments, mergers, consolidations,
liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other repayments in respect of capital stock, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, hedging
arrangements,

negative pledge clauses, payment of expenses and disbursements other than those
reflected in an agreed upon budget, subsidiary distributions and the activities of certain holding
company subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
Under certain conditions the lending commitments under the DIP Credit Agreement may be
terminated by the lenders and amounts outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement may be
accelerated, subject to notice and cure periods in certain cases. Such events of default include,
but are no limited to, failure to pay any principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply
with covenants, breach of representations or warranties in any material respect, failure to comply
with the agreed upon budget, within agreed variances, certain changes in the Company’s bankruptcy
case or new or existing orders of the bankruptcy court, or the US dollar equivalent market value of
the Company’s ownership interest in Halla Climate Control Corporation closing on the KOSPI below
$300 million for three consecutive trading days.
The foregoing description of the DIP Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the text of the DIP Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
