Each insurance policy shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor effective as of the Effective
Date, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent such insurance policy
is executory, unless such insurance policy previously was rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a
Bankruptcy Court order, is the subject of a motion to reject pending on the Effective Date, or is
included in the schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases contained in the
Plan Supplement.
E. | Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases |
With respect to each of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases listed on the schedule of
Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, the Debtors shall have designated a proposed
Cure, and the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be conditioned upon
the disposition of all issues with respect to Cure. Such Cure shall be satisfied by the Debtors or
their assignee, if any, by payment of the Cure in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter, or on such other terms as may be ordered by
31
the Bankruptcy Court or agreed upon by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract or
Unexpired Lease without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court. Any provisions or terms of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases to be assumed
pursuant to the Plan that are, or may be, alleged to be in default, shall be satisfied solely by
Cure, or by an agreed-upon waiver of Cure.
Prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve
upon counterparties to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases a notice of the proposed
assumption that will (1) list the applicable Cure, if any, (2) describe the procedures for filing
objections to the proposed assumption or Cure, and (3) explain the process by which related
disputes will be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. Except with respect to Executory Contracts and
Unexpired Leases in which the Debtors and the applicable counterparties have stipulated in writing
to payment of Cure, all requests for payment of Cure that differ from the amounts proposed by the
Debtors must be filed with the Claims and Solicitation Agent on or before the Cure Bar Date. Any
request for payment of Cure that is not timely filed shall be disallowed automatically and forever
barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion and shall not be enforceable against any Reorganized
Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or any further notice to or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any Claim for Cure shall be deemed fully
satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by the Debtors of the amounts listed on the
Debtors proposed Cure schedule, notwithstanding anything included in the Schedules or in any Proof
of Claim to the contrary; provided, however, that nothing shall prevent the
Reorganized Debtors from paying any Cure despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to file
such request for payment of such Cure. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure without
any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
If the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, object to any Cure or any other matter
related to assumption, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Cure and any
related issues. If there is a dispute regarding such Cure, the ability of the Reorganized Debtors
or any assignee to provide adequate assurance of future performance within the meaning of section
365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then payment of Cure
shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute,
approving such assumption (and, if applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by the Debtors
or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely
to the proposed assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and associated Cure will be
deemed to have consented to such assumption and Cure. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as
applicable, reserve the right either to reject or nullify the assumption of any Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease after a Final Order determining the Cure or any request for adequate assurance
of future performance required to assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is made.
Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise
shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures, Claims or defaults, whether
monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or
ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any
32
assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of
assumption.
F. | Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors Under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases |
Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall
not constitute a termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the Debtors under such contracts
or leases. In particular, notwithstanding any nonbankruptcy law to the contrary, the Reorganized
Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a
counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously
purchased by the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, from counterparties to
rejected or repudiated Executory Contracts.
G. | Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases |
Unless otherwise provided by a Bankruptcy Court order, any Proofs of Claim asserting Claims
arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan or
otherwise must be filed with the Claims and Solicitation Agent no later than 30 days after the
later of the Effective Date or the effective date of rejection. Any Proofs of Claim arising from
the rejection of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are not timely filed shall be
disallowed automatically and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion and shall not be
enforceable against any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized
Debtors or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any
Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed
fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a Proof of
Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases shall be classified as Other General Unsecured Claims against the applicable
Debtor counterparty thereto.
H. | Contracts, Intercompany Contracts, and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date |
Contracts, Intercompany Contracts, and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any
Debtor, and any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by any Debtor, may be performed by
the applicable Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of business.
I. | Reservation of Rights |
Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, nor
anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract
or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any
liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was
executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors,
as applicable, shall have 45 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter
their treatment of such contract or lease.
33
ARTICLE VI.
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
A. | Allowance of Claims and Interests |
After the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all rights and
defenses such Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately prior to the Effective
Date, including the Causes of Action retained pursuant to ARTICLE IV.R, except with respect to any
Claim deemed Allowed under the Plan. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order
entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no
Claim shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed pursuant to
ARTICLE I.A.19 of the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final
Order, including the Confirmation Order, in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim. All settled
claims approved prior to the Effective Date pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court,
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 or otherwise shall be binding on all parties.
B. | Claims and Interests Administration Responsibilities |
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the
Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole authority (1) to file, withdraw, or litigate to judgment,
objections to Claims or Interests, (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any
further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court, and (3) to administer and
adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further
notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.
C. | Estimation of Claims and Interests |
Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may
(but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim
or disputed Interest that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such
Claim or Interest or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the
Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Interest, including during
the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Interest or during the appeal relating to such
objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim
or Interest, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim or Interest
for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant
Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate
distribution on such Claim or Interest.
D. | Expungement or Adjustment to Paid, Satisfied, or Superseded Claims and Interests |
Any Claim or Interest that has been paid, satisfied, or superseded, or any Claim or Interest
that has been amended or superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by the
Reorganized Debtors without a claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to
or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
34
E. | No Interest |
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, required under applicable bankruptcy
law, or agreed to by the Debtors, the Confirmation Order, or a postpetition agreement in writing
between the Debtors and a holder of a Claim, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on
Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition
Date on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not
accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the
date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed
Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
F. | Disallowance of Claims or Interests |
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE AGREED, ANY AND ALL PROOFS OF CLAIM FILED AFTER THE APPLICABLE DEADLINE
FOR FILING SUCH PROOFS OF CLAIM SHALL BE DEEMED DISALLOWED AND EXPUNGED AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE
WITHOUT ANY FURTHER NOTICE TO OR ACTION, ORDER, OR APPROVAL OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, AND HOLDERS OF
SUCH CLAIMS MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY DISTRIBUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH CLAIMS, UNLESS SUCH LATE PROOF OF
CLAIM IS DEEMED TIMELY FILED BY A FINAL ORDER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT ON OR BEFORE THE LATER OF (1)
THE CONFIRMATION HEARING AND (2) 45 DAYS AFTER THE APPLICABLE DEADLINE FOR FILING SUCH PROOFS OF
CLAIM.
All Claims of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under section 542, 543,
550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a
transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549,
or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if (a) the Entity, on the one hand, and the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the other hand, agree or the Bankruptcy Court has determined
by Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under
any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) such Entity or transferee has
failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.
G. | Amendments to Claims |
On or after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, a Claim may not be filed
or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Reorganized Debtors, and,
to the extent such prior authorization is not received, any such new or amended Claim filed shall
be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further notice to or action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
H. | No Distributions Pending Allowance |
If an objection to a Claim or portion thereof is filed prior to the Effective Date, no payment
or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim or portion thereof,
as applicable, unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
35
I. | Distributions After Allowance |
To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions, if
any, shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan. As soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court
allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Distribution Agent shall provide to the
holder of such Claim the distribution, if any, to which such holder is entitled under the Plan as
of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim unless required
under applicable bankruptcy law.

B. | Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed After the Effective Date |
1. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims. Except as otherwise provided in the
Plan, a Final Order, or as agreed to by the relevant parties, distributions under the Plan on
account of Disputed Claims that become Allowed after the Effective Date shall be made on the
Periodic Distribution Date that is at least 30 days after the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed
Claim; provided, however, that (a) Disputed Claims that are Administrative Claims
with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the
Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date that become Allowed
after the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course
of business, or industry practice and (b) Disputed Claims that are Priority Tax Claims or Secured

days after the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim or over a five-year period as provided in
section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code with annual interest provided by applicable
non-bankruptcy law.
2. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims. Notwithstanding any
provision otherwise in the Plan and except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties (a) no
partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until
all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final
Order and (b) any Entity that holds both an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim shall not receive
any distribution on the Allowed Claim unless and until all objections to the Disputed
38
Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order or the Claims have been Allowed or
expunged. In the event that there are Disputed Claims requiring adjudication and resolution, the
Reorganized Debtors shall establish appropriate reserves for potential payment of such Claims as
set forth in ARTICLE VII.B.3 below. All distributions made pursuant to the Plan on account of an
Allowed Claim shall be made together with any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on
account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property as if such Allowed
Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the dates distributions were previously made to holders of
Allowed Claims included in the applicable Class; provided, however, that no
interest shall be paid on account to such Allowed Claims unless required under applicable
bankruptcy law.
3. Disputed Claims Reserve. The Reorganized Debtors shall on or after the Effective
Date maintain in reserve shares of New Visteon Common Stock as the Disputed Claims Reserve to
satisfy holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The amount
of New Visteon Common Stock withheld as a part of the Disputed Claims Reserve for the benefit of a
holder of a Disputed Claim shall be equal to the lesser of: (a) the number of shares necessary to
satisfy the distributions required to be made pursuant to the Plan based on the asserted amount of
the Disputed Claim or, if the Claim is denominated as contingent or unliquidated as of the
Distribution Record Date, the amount that the Debtors elect to withhold on account of such Claim in
the Disputed Claims Reserve; (b) the number of shares necessary to satisfy the distributions
required to be made pursuant to the Plan for such Disputed Claim based on an amount as estimated by
the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of allowance;
or (c) the number of shares necessary to satisfy the distributions required to be made pursuant to
the Plan based on an amount as may be agreed upon by the holder of such Disputed Claim and the
Reorganized Debtors. As Disputed Claims are Allowed, the Distribution Agent shall distribute, in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, New Visteon Common Stock to holders of Allowed Claims, and
the Disputed Claims Reserve shall be adjusted. The Distribution Agent shall withhold in the
Disputed Claims Reserve any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well
as any obligations arising from, the New Visteon Common Stock initially withheld in the Disputed
Claims Reserve, to the extent that such New Visteon Common Stock continues to be withheld in the
Disputed Claims Reserve at the time such distributions are made or such obligations arise, and such
dividends, payments, or other distributions shall be held for the benefit of holders of Disputed
Claims whose Claims, if Allowed, are entitled to distributions under the Plan. The Reorganized
Debtors may (but are not required to) request estimation for any Disputed Claim that is contingent
or unliquidated, as set forth in ARTICLE VI.C.
For purposes of any shareholder vote occurring after the Effective Date, the Distribution
Agent or Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have voted any New Visteon Common Stock held
in the Disputed Claims Reserve in the same proportion as all outstanding shares properly cast in
such shareholder vote.
4. Tax Reporting Matters. Subject to definitive guidance from the Internal Revenue
Service or an applicable court to the contrary (including the receipt by the Reorganized Debtors of
a private letter ruling or the receipt of an adverse determination by the Internal Revenue Service
upon audit, if not contested by the Reorganized Debtors), the Reorganized Debtors shall treat the
Disputed Claims Reserve as a single trust, consisting of separate and independent shares
39
to be established with respect to each Disputed Claim, in accordance with the trust provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code (title 26 of the United States Code, 26 U.S.C. §§ 19833), and, to
the extent permitted by law, shall report consistently with the foregoing for federal, state, and
local tax purposes. All holders of Claims shall report, for federal, state, and local tax
purposes, consistently with the foregoing.
C. | Delivery of Distributions |
1. Record Date for Distributions. On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims
Register shall be closed and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize
only those record holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the
Distribution Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Claim or Interest, other than one
based on a publicly traded Certificate is transferred less than 20 days before the Distribution
Record Date, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent
practical and in any event only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and
explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.
2. Distribution Process. The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required
under the Plan, except that distributions to holders of Allowed Claims governed by a separate
agreement and administered by a Servicer shall be deposited with the appropriate Servicer, at which
time such distributions shall be deemed complete, and the Servicer shall deliver such distributions
in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the governing agreement. Except as otherwise provided
in the Plan, and notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, distributions to holders of Allowed
Claims shall be made to holders of record as of the Distribution Record Date by the Distribution
Agent or a Servicer, as appropriate: (a) to the signatory set forth on any of the Proofs of Claim
filed by such holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of
such holder if no Proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a
change of address); (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes
delivered to the Distribution Agent after the date of any related Proof of Claim; (c) in accordance
with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004 if
no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Distribution Agent has not received a written notice of a
change of address; (d) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been
filed and the Distribution Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address; or (e)
on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the holders behalf. The Debtors, the
Reorganized Debtors, and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any liability
whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan.
3. Accrual of Dividends and Other Rights. For purposes of determining the accrual of
dividends or other rights after the Effective Date, New Visteon Common Stock shall be deemed
distributed as of the Effective Date regardless of the date on which it is actually issued, dated,
authenticated, or distributed; provided however, the Reorganized Debtors shall not
pay any such dividends or distribute such other rights, if any, until after distributions of New
Visteon Common Stock actually take place.
4. Compliance Matters. In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the
Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and
40
reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions
pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the
Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with
such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to
be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes,
withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such
distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate.
The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in
compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards,
liens, and encumbrances.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or a
Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S.
dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the
exchange rate as of Thursday, May 28, 2009 as quoted at 4:00 p.m. (EDT), mid-range spot rate of
exchange for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on
Friday, May 29, 2009.
6. Fractional, De Minimis, Undeliverable, and Unclaimed Distributions.
a. Fractional Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
to the contrary, payments of fractions of shares of New Visteon Common Stock shall not be
made and shall be deemed to be zero, and the Distribution Agent shall not be required to
make distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment of Cash of a
fraction of a dollar pursuant to the Plan would otherwise be required, the actual payment
shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with
half dollars or less being rounded down.
b. De Minimis Distributions. Neither the Distribution Agent nor any Servicer
shall have any obligation to make a distribution on account of an Allowed Claim from the
Disputed Claims Reserve or otherwise if (i) the aggregate amount of all distributions
authorized to be made from such Disputed Claims Reserve or otherwise on the Periodic
Distribution Date in question is or has an economic value less than $250,000, or (ii) the
amount to be distributed to the specific holder of an Allowed Claim on the particular
Periodic Distribution Date does not constitute a final distribution to such holder.
c. Undeliverable Distributions. If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed
Claim or Interest is returned to a Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no further
distributions shall be made to such holder unless and until such Distribution Agent is
notified in writing of such holders then-current address, at which time all currently due
missed distributions shall be made to such holder on the next Periodic Distribution Date.
Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors until
such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, or such distribution reverts to the
Reorganized Debtors or is cancelled pursuant to ARTICLE VII.C.6.d, and shall not be
supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind.
41
d. Reversion. Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed
Distribution for a period of six months after distribution shall be deemed unclaimed
property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution shall
revest in the Reorganized Debtors and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is New
Visteon Common Stock, shall be deemed cancelled. Upon such revesting, the Claim of any
holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged, and
forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or
unclaimed property laws to the contrary. The provisions of the Plan regarding undeliverable
distributions and Unclaimed Distributions shall apply with equal force to distributions that
are issued by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Distribution Agent made pursuant
to any indenture or Certificate (but only with respect to the initial distribution by the
Servicer to holders that are entitled to be recognized under the relevant indenture or
Certificate and not with respect to Entities to whom those recognized holders distribute),
notwithstanding any provision in such indenture or Certificate to the contrary and
notwithstanding any otherwise applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed
property law.
7. Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities. On the Effective Date or as soon
as reasonably practicable thereafter, each holder of a Certificate, except holders of Class I
Claims, shall surrender such Certificate to the Distribution Agent or a Servicer (to the extent the
relevant Claim is governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer). Such Certificate shall
be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the
obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such
Certificate. No distribution of property pursuant to the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any
such holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Distribution Agent or the Servicer
or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the
Distribution Agent or the Servicer pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE VII.C.8. Any holder who
fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate or fails to execute and deliver an
affidavit of loss and indemnity acceptable to the Distribution Agent or the Servicer prior to the
first anniversary of the Effective Date, shall have its Claim discharged with no further action, be
forever barred from asserting any such Claim against the relevant Reorganized Debtor or its
property, be deemed to have forfeited all rights, and Claims with respect to such Certificate, and
not participate in any distribution under the Plan; furthermore, all property with respect to such
forfeited distributions, including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall revert to
the Reorganized Debtors, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed
property law to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this ARTICLE VII.C.7 shall
not apply to any Claims reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
8. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Debt Securities. Any holder of Allowed
Claims evidenced by a Certificate that has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall, in
lieu of surrendering such Certificate, deliver to the Distribution Agent or Servicer, if
applicable, an affidavit of loss acceptable to the Distribution Agent or Servicer setting forth the
unavailability of the Certificate, and such additional indemnity as may be required reasonably by
the Distribution Agent or Servicer to hold the Distribution Agent or Servicer harmless from any
damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such holder as a holder of an Allowed Claim or
Interest. Upon compliance with this procedure by a holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by
42
such a lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Certificate, such holder shall, for all purposes
pursuant to the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such Certificate.
D. | Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties |
1. Claims Paid by Third Parties. The Claims and Solicitation Agent shall reduce in
full a Claim, and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be filed and
without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent
that the holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that
is not a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. To the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution
on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized
Debtor on account of such Claim, such holder shall, within two weeks of receipt thereof, repay or
return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the holders total
recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of
such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.
2. Claims Payable by Insurance Carriers. No distributions under the Plan shall be
made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors insurance
policies until the holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such
insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors insurers agrees to satisfy in
full a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then
immediately upon such insurers agreement, such Claim may be expunged to the extent of any agreed
upon satisfaction on the Claims Register by the Claims and Solicitation Agent without a Claims
objection having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court.
3. Applicability of Insurance Policies. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan,
distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any
applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver
of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including
insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be
deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such
insurers.
E. | Setoffs |
Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan or in an Accommodation Agreement, each
Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code),
applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the holder of a Claim, may set off against
any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed
Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, rights, and
Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may hold
against the holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action
against such holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective
Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither
the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall
constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtor
43
of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor may possess
against such holder. In no event shall any holder of Claims be entitled to set off any Claim
against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable,
unless such holder has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform
such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of
Claim or otherwise that such holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff
pursuant to section 553 or otherwise.
F. | Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest |
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the aggregate consideration paid to holders with
respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan as allocated first to the
principal amount of such Allowed Claims (to the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to the interest,
if any, accrued through the Effective Date.
ARTICLE VIII.
EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
A. | Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests |
Except as otherwise provided and effective as of the Effective Date: (1) the rights afforded
in the Plan and the treatment of all Claims and Interests shall be in exchange for and in complete
satisfaction, discharge, and release of all Claims and Interests of any nature whatsoever,
including any interest accrued on such Claims from and after the Petition Date, against the Debtors
or any of their assets, property, or Estates; (2) the Plan shall bind all holders of Claims and
Interests, notwithstanding whether any such holders failed to vote to accept or reject the Plan or
voted to reject the Plan; (3) all Claims and Interests shall be satisfied, discharged, and released
in full, and the Debtors liability with respect thereto shall be extinguished completely,
including any liability of the kind specified under section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (4)
all Entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors, the Debtors Estates, the
Reorganized Debtors, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties any other Claims
or Interests based upon any documents, instruments, or any act or omission, transaction, or other
activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date.
B. | Subordinated Claims |
The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Interests and the
respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and conform to the
relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any
contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under
general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise.
Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to
re-classify any Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable
subordination relating thereto.
44
C. | Compromise and Settlement of Claims and Controversies |
Pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration
for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan or any distribution to be
made on account of an Allowed Claim or Interest, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good
faith compromise of all Claims, Interests, and controversies relating to the contractual, legal,
and subordination rights that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed
Claim or Interest. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Courts
approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims, Interests, and controversies, as well
as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such compromise or settlement is in the best interests of
the Debtors, their Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable, and
reasonable. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), without any further notice to or action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may compromise
and settle Claims against them and Causes of Action against other Entities.
D. | Releases by the Debtors |
Pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Plan, for good and valuable consideration, on and after the Effective Date, the
Released Parties are deemed released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and
their Estates from any and all Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action,
remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims, asserted on behalf of the
Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law,
equity, or otherwise, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Estates, or Affiliates would
have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or
on behalf of the holder of any Claim or Interest or other Entity, based on or relating to, or in
any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase,
sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest
that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any
Released Party, the restructuring of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter 11 Cases, the
negotiation, formulation, or preparation of the Plan and Disclosure Statement, or related
agreements, instruments, or other documents, upon any other act or omission, transaction,
agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date of the Plan,
other than Claims or liabilities arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released
Party that constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence, or as otherwise provided in the
Plan.
E. | Releases by Holders of Claims and Interests |
As of the Effective Date, the Releasing Parties are deemed to have released and discharged the
Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Estates, and the Released Parties from any and all Claims,
Interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and liabilities
whatsoever, including any derivative Claims, asserted on behalf of
45
the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter
arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert
(whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in
whole or in part, the Debtors, the Debtors restructuring, the Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase,
sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest
that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any
Released Party, the restructuring of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter 11 Cases, the
negotiation, formulation, or preparation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan
Supplement, or related agreements, instruments, or other documents, upon any other act or omission,
transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date of
the Plan, other than Claims or liabilities arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a
Released Party that constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the foregoing, the release set forth above does not release any post-Effective
Date obligations of any party under the Plan or any document, instrument, or agreement (including
those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan. For the avoidance of
doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall in any way affect the operation of ARTICLE VIII.A of the
Plan, pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.
F. | Exculpation |
The Exculpated Parties shall neither have, nor incur any liability to any Entity for any
Exculpated Claim; provided, however, that the foregoing exculpation shall have no
effect on the liability of any Entity that results from any such act or omission that is determined
in a Final Order to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation shall be deemed to have, participated in
good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to
the distributions of the New Visteon Common Stock pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not and
shall not be liable at any time for the violations of any applicable, law, rule, or regulation
governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made
pursuant to the Plan.
G. | Injunction |
From and after the Effective Date, all Entities are permanently enjoined from commencing or
continuing in any manner, any suit, action, or other proceeding, on account of or respecting any
Claim, demand, Lien, liability, obligation, debt, right, Cause of Action, Interest, or remedy
released or to be released pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order.
H. | Protection Against Discriminatory Treatment |
Consistent with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and paragraph 2 of Article VI of the United
States Constitution, no Governmental Unit shall discriminate against the Reorganized
46
Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or
other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant
against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom such Reorganized Debtors have been
associated, solely because one of the Debtors has been a debtor under chapter 11, has been
insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but
before the Debtor is granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable
in the Chapter 11 Cases.
I. | Indemnification |
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all indemnification provisions currently in place
(whether in the by-laws, certificates of incorporation, articles of limited partnership, board
resolutions, contracts, or otherwise) for the directors, officers, employees, attorneys, other
professionals, and agents of the Debtors that served in such capacity from and after the Petition
Date and such directors and officers respective affiliates, shall be reinstated (or assumed, as
the case may be), and shall survive effectiveness of the Plan.
J. | Recoupment |
In no event shall any holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to recoup any Claim or
Interest against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as
applicable, unless such holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof
in writing to the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date, notwithstanding any indication in any
Proof of Claim or Interest or otherwise that such holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any
right of recoupment.
K. | Release of Liens |
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, or other
agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of
trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be
fully released, and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any holder of such
mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the
Reorganized Debtor and its successors and assigns.
L. | Reimbursement or Contribution |
If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity
pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is
contingent as of the Effective Date, such Claim shall be forever disallowed notwithstanding section
502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Effective Date (1) such Claim has been
adjudicated as noncontingent or (2) the relevant holder of a Claim has filed a noncontingent Proof
of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered determining such Claim as no
longer contingent.
47

B. Modification of Plan
Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the limitations and rights contained in the
Plan (1) the Debtors reserve the right, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy
Rules, to amend or modify the Plan before the entry of the Confirmation Order with the consent of
the Requisite Holders, (2) after the entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, upon order of the Bankruptcy Court, amend or modify the
Plan with the consent of the Requisite Holders, in accordance with section 1127(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code or remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in such
manner as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, and (3) the Debtors
reserve the right to modify the Plan to implement the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Debtors pursuant to sections 363 and 1123(a)(5)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code.
51
C. Revocation or Withdrawal of Plan
The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan before the Confirmation Date and
to file subsequent chapter 11 plans. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan, or if
Confirmation or the Effective Date does not occur, then (1) the Plan will be null and void in
all respects, (2) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan, assumption or rejection of
Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement
executed pursuant hereto will be null and void in all respects, and (3) nothing contained in the
Plan shall (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action, (b)
prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtor or any other Entity, or (c) constitute an
admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by any Debtor or any other Entity.
D. Confirmation of the Plan
The Debtors request Confirmation of the Plan under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to any Impaired Class that does not accept the Plan pursuant to section 1126 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Plan to the extent, if any, that
Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification.
E. Additional Documents
On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may file with the Bankruptcy Court such
agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further

to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the holders of Claims
or Interests prior to the Effective Date.

The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be
binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor or

if any, of each Entity.

K. | Term of Injunctions or Stays |
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays
in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
order of the Bankruptcy Court, and existing on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or
stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until

remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

L. | Entire Agreement |
Except as otherwise indicated, the Plan supersedes all previous and contemporaneous
negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such
subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into the Plan.
M. | Plan Supplement Exhibits |
All exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated into and are a
part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. After the exhibits and documents are filed,
copies of such exhibits and documents shall be made available upon written request to the Debtors
counsel at the address above or by downloading such exhibits and documents from
http://www.kccllc.net/Visteon or the Bankruptcy Courts website at www.deb.uscourts.gov. Unless
otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent any exhibit or document in the Plan
Supplement is inconsistent with the terms of any part of the Plan that does not constitute the
Plan Supplement, such part of the Plan that does not constitute the Plan Supplement shall
control.
N. | Severability |
If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court
to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and
interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable,
consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or
unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted.
Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and
provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected,
impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order
shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the
Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is (1) valid and
enforceable pursuant to its terms, (2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified
without the Debtors consent, and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.
