The delivery of (i) the Election Form, (ii) the Subscription Form, and (iii) immediately available funds from an Eligible Holder is at such holder’s risk and delivery will be deemed made only when received by the Rights Offering Agent.

The Subscription Form
          As soon as practicable after the Election Form Deadline, the Rights Offering Agent will provide by mail, electronic mail or facsimile transmission to such Eligible Holder a form (the “Subscription Form”) to allow such Eligible Holder to exercise its Subscription Rights and, if applicable, Oversubscription Rights. The Subscription Rights and Oversubscription Rights shall not be listed or quoted on any public or over-the-counter exchange or quotation system. No fractional Subscription Rights will be issued, and all such fractional Subscription Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

          To exercise its Subscription Rights and, if applicable, Oversubscription Rights, an Eligible Holder must: (a) return a validly completed Subscription Form to Epiq Financial Balloting Group LLC (the “Rights Offering Agent”) so that such Subscription Form is actually received by the Rights Offering Agent on or before the Subscription Expiration Date and (b) pay to the Rights Offering Agent on or before the Subscription Expiration Date an amount equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of New Visteon Common Stock such Eligible Holder has elected to purchase in accordance with the payment instructions set forth on the Subscription Form. Once an Eligible Holder has properly delivered its Subscription Form, such exercise cannot be revoked, rescinded, or modified.
          If the Rights Offering Agent for any reason does not receive on or prior to the Subscription Expiration Date both a validly completed Subscription Form and immediately available funds as set forth above from an Eligible Holder, such Eligible Holder shall be deemed to have relinquished and waived its right to participate in the Rights Offering, subject to possible waiver in accordance with “Disputes, Waivers, and Extensions” below. The Debtors shall not be obligated to honor any purported exercise of Subscription Rights or Oversubscription Rights received by the Rights Offering Agent after the Subscription Expiration Date, regardless of when the documents relating to such exercise were sent.

          The Subscription Form will permit each Eligible Holder that validly exercises its Subscription Rights in full to subscribe for additional shares of New Visteon Common Stock to the extent that any Rights Offering Shares are unsubscribed and available (including any Available Direct Subscription Shares (as defined in the Equity Commitment Agreement) included in the Rights Offering pursuant to section 3.1(b) of the Equity Commitment Agreement). Eligible Holders electing to subscribe for additional shares must indicate the number of additional shares that such Eligible Holder would like to purchase in the appropriate place on the Subscription Form and pay for such additional shares in the same manner as the shares purchased pursuant to the Subscription Rights. If any Eligible Holder fails to exercise its Subscription Rights in full, such Eligible Holder shall be deemed to have relinquished and waived its right to exercise any Oversubscription Rights, subject to possible waiver in accordance with “Disputes, Waivers, and Extensions” below.
          If the number of Rights Offering Shares elected for purchase pursuant to Oversubscription Rights exceeds the number of unsubscribed Rights Offering Shares (including any Available Direct Subscription Shares included in the Rights Offering pursuant to section 3.1(b) of the Equity Commitment Agreement), then such unsubscribed Rights Offering Shares shall be apportioned to Eligible Holders that exercised such Oversubscription Rights (i) first, to the Lead Investors and their Related Purchasers (other than any Lead Investor or Related Purchaser thereof that included Available Direct Subscription Shares in the Rights Offering) and their respective affiliates, (ii) second, to the Co-Investors and their Related Purchasers (other than any Co-Investor or Related Purchaser thereof that included Available Direct Subscription

Shares in the Rights Offering) and their respective affiliates, and (iii) last, if any unsubscribed Rights Offering Shares remain unallocated, to the other Eligible Holders exercising their Oversubscription Rights, in each case pro rata relative to the number of such shares each such Eligible Holder elected to purchase pursuant to its Oversubscription Rights and in accordance with section 2.2(e) of the Equity Commitment Agreement.
          As soon as practicable following the Subscription Expiration Date, the Debtors shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Eligible Holder that has exercised Subscription Rights and, if applicable, Oversubscription Rights, a written statement confirming the number of shares of New Visteon Common Stock that such Eligible Holder will purchase on the Effective Date as well as the aggregate Purchase Price in connection with the exercise of its Subscription Rights and, if applicable, Oversubscription Rights. As soon as practicable following the Subscription Expiration Date, the Rights Offering Agent shall remit to any Eligible Holder that has overpaid pursuant to its exercised Subscription Rights and Oversubscription Rights, the amount of such overpayment by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
          Shares of New Visteon Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Rights Offering shall be issued on the Effective Date, pursuant to the exemption provided under section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and such shares (i) will be “restricted securities” and (ii) will be issued with any and all issue, stamp, transfer, sales and use, or similar taxes or duties that are due and payable in connection with such issuance and delivery duly paid by Visteon Corporation.

Rights Offering Funds
     The payments made in accordance with the Rights Offering (the “Rights Offering Funds”) shall be deposited and held in escrow pending the Effective Date in a trust account or accounts administered by the Rights Offering Agent, which (a) shall not constitute property of the Debtors or the Debtors’ estates until the Effective Date, (b) shall be separate and apart from the Rights Offering Agent’s general operating funds and any other funds subject to any lien or any cash collateral arrangements and (c) will be maintained for the purpose of holding the funds for administration of the Rights Offering until, subject to the other provisions of this paragraph, the earlier of (i) the Effective Date if the Rights Offering Sub Plan is Consummated and (ii) the termination of the Equity Commitment Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Rights Offering Agent shall not use the Rights Offering Funds for any purpose other than to release the funds as directed by the Debtors on the Effective Date (or such other later date at the option of the Reorganized Debtors or as otherwise provided herein) and shall not encumber or permit the Rights Offering Funds to be encumbered by any lien or similar encumbrance; provided, that the Rights Offering Funds shall only be released to Visteon Corporation or any of its affiliates upon the occurrence of the Effective Date.
     If the Rights Offering Sub Plan is not Consummated in accordance with the terms of the Equity Commitment Agreement, the Debtors shall cause the Rights Offering Agent to return as soon as practicable all of the Rights Offering Funds (together with any interest or other income earned thereon, if any, and net of any fees and costs incurred by the Rights Offering Agent in connection with such refund) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Eligible Holders; provided however, that the Rights Offering Agent shall not have any obligation to hold such funds in an account that earns interest or other income.
Disputes, Waivers, and Extensions
     Any and all disputes concerning the timeliness, viability, form, and eligibility of any exercise of Subscription Rights or Oversubscription Rights shall be addressed in good faith by the Debtors with the reasonable consent of the Requisite Investors and, if necessary, subject to a final and binding determination by the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors with the reasonable consent of the Requisite Investors may seek to waive any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or irregularity to be cured, within such times as they may determine in good faith to be appropriate, or reject the purported exercise of any Subscription Rights or Oversubscription Rights. Subscription instructions shall be deemed not to have been properly completed until all irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as the Debtors determine with the reasonable consent of the Requisite Investors.
Modifications
     The Debtors may modify these Rights Offering Procedures or adopt such additional detailed procedures consistent with the provisions of these Rights Offering Procedures to more efficiently administer the exercise of the Subscription Rights and

Oversubscription Rights; provided, however, that (i) such modified or additional procedures may include only such amendments, supplements, changes, and modifications that (a) if not adverse to any Investor, or if required by the Bankruptcy Court, are reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Investors or (b) if demonstrated by any Investor to be reasonably likely to be adverse to such Investor, are acceptable to the Requisite Investors in their sole discretion, and (ii) the Debtors shall provide prompt written notice by mail, electronic mail or facsimile transmission to the Investors and other Eligible Holders of any material modification to these Rights Offering Procedures made after the commencement of the Rights Offering.
Waiver and Release
          Upon the Effective Date and subject to the Equity Commitment Agreement, each Eligible Holder that participates in the Rights Offering shall be deemed by virtue of such participation to have waived and released to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law all rights, Claims, or causes of action against the Exculpated Parties arising out of or related to the receipt, delivery, disbursements, calculations, transmission, or segregation of cash, Subscription Rights, Oversubscription Rights, and New Visteon Common Stock in connection with the Rights Offering, except to the extent such claims arise from gross negligence or willful misconduct.
IV. Rights Offering Information
     The Rights Offering Agent shall notify the Investors on each Business Day during the three (3) Business Days prior to the Subscription Expiration Date (and any extensions thereto), or more frequently if reasonably requested by the Investors, of the aggregate number of Subscription Rights and Oversubscription Rights known by the Rights Offering Agent to have been exercised pursuant to the Rights Offering as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day or the most recent practicable time before such request, as the case may be.
     No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the Subscription Expiration Date occurs (the “Determination Date”), the Debtor shall deliver to each Investor a written certification by an executive officer of the Debtor of (i) the number of New Visteon Common Stock validly purchased by Eligible Holders pursuant to the Subscription Rights and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor, (ii) the number of New Visteon Common Stock validly purchased by Eligible Holders pursuant to the Oversubscription Rights and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor, (iii) any Available Direct Subscription Shares not purchased pursuant to the Oversubscription Rights, (iv) the amount of the Cash Recovery Subscription Equity (as defined in the Equity

Commitment Agreement) and (v) the number of Unsubscribed Shares,5 if any, and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor (a “Stock Right Commitment Notice”).

     In case of any additional details in these Rights Offering Procedures which do not appear in the Equity Commitment Agreement, these Rights Offering Procedures will prevail.
V. Transfer Restrictions; Revocation
          The Subscription Rights and Oversubscription Rights are not transferable. Any attempted transfer is null and void and the Debtors will not treat any purported transferee as the holder of any Subscription Right or, if applicable, Oversubscription Right. Once the Eligible Holder has validly exercised its Subscription Rights or Oversubscription Rights such exercise will not be permitted to be revoked, rescinded, or modified.
VI. Inquiries and Transmittal of Documents; Rights Offering Agent
