2
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual
promises herein made, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on June 29,
2000 such date being referred to hereafter as the Effective Date, and shall
terminate at the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of employment of all of
the Ford Assigned Employees, as defined in Paragraph 2 below, or (b) the
agreement of the Parties to terminate. The term shall be known as the "Assigned
Period." Nothing herein contained shall be construed to imply that Visteon's
obligations to hourly employees represented by the UAW and hired by Visteon
after the Effective Date ("Visteon Hourly Employees") extend beyond the Mirror
Period, as defined in Paragraph 13.
2. Purchased Services. During the Assigned Period, Ford shall
supply Visteon with those Ford Assigned Employees who are assigned to the
Business as of the Effective Date, including any inactive employees (the
"Initial Ford Assigned Employees"). On the Effective Date, Ford shall provide to
Visteon a preliminary list of the Initial Ford Assigned Employees as of the
Effective Date, together with their base hourly wage rate, Ford service date,
job classification, location code, social security number, and the reason for
any absence of an inactive employee and the date any leave expires. Ford shall
finalize the list of Initial Ford Assigned Employees as of the Effective Date no
later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, subject to Visteon review.
Ford shall update such list at least monthly for employee quits, retirements,
transfers from Ford facilities to Visteon's facilities, transfers from Visteon's
facilities to Ford facilities or transfers between hourly and salaried status at
Visteon, in connection with the invoice procedure specified in Section 8. The
Initial Ford Assigned Employees and any replacement employees under the process
described above, shall be known for purposes of this Agreement as the "Ford
Assigned Employees." Ford Assigned Employees and all other hourly employees
employed by Ford and covered by the Ford-UAW CBA shall retain their transfer
rights under the Ford-UAW CBA.
3. Employer Definition. During the Assigned Period, Ford shall
retain responsibility for all payments and benefits due to the Ford Assigned
Employees in connection with the work relating to the Business, including but
not limited to
(i) the payment of Ford Assigned Employees' base hourly wage or
other components of pay as required under the Ford-UAW CBA now
in existence or as modified hereafter (less any applicable
withholding or other taxes or any amounts deducted from such
wages pursuant to normal payroll practices of Ford);
(ii) the provision of all other employee benefits generally
provided by Ford to other hourly employees of Ford covered by
the Ford-UAW CBA;
3
(iii) payment of all federal, state, or local taxes withheld or
otherwise required to be paid with respect thereto; and
(iv) the liability for statutory benefits, including workers'
compensation, payable to employees.
4. Management of Employees. While Ford will retain legal
responsibility for administering the terms of the Ford-UAW CBA with respect to
the Ford Assigned Employees, Visteon, as Ford's agent, will have full and
complete authority to exercise day to day supervision over the Ford Assigned
Employees, including assigning work and evaluating, supervising, disciplining
and discharging such employees in accordance with the terms of the Ford-UAW CBA.
If any of those decisions are challenged by a Ford Assigned Employee through a
grievance procedure, in judicial proceedings, or in any other forum, Visteon
will have the sole responsibility for determining how those challenges should be
handled and resolved (including but not limited to the sole authority for making
a decision whether to settle or defend the challenged matter), provided,
however, that Visteon shall comply with any decision rendered by an umpire,
arbitrator, officer of a state administrative agency or judge of any court of
competent jurisdiction with respect to such matter, subject to Visteon's right
of appeal. Notwithstanding the provision set forth above, Visteon will advise
Ford of any major issues that arise under the Ford-UAW CBA, or other major
employment related matters affecting or potentially affecting UAW hourly
represented Ford employees, or matters that could materially impact the Ford-UAW
relationship. If Visteon advises Ford of any such issue or matter, or if such
issue or matter otherwise comes to the attention of Ford and Ford in its sole
judgment considers the issue or matter to fit the criteria above, Ford will
notify Visteon that Ford desires to participate in the resolution of such issue
or matter. As soon as practical after such notice is given, Visteon and Ford
will meet to discuss the issue or matter through the Governance Council
described in Section 16 and determine the appropriate course of action for
handling or resolving the issue or matter. If a common approach cannot be agreed
and Ford decides to pursue its own resolution of the issue or matter, then Ford
shall relieve Visteon of its role as agent of Ford with respect to such issue or
matter and Ford shall pursue the issue or matter in Ford's sole discretion.
Visteon shall provide Ford on a weekly basis a summary of the hours of service
rendered by each of the Ford Assigned Employees during the preceding week. In
addition, Visteon shall provide Ford with such information or documents as Ford
may reasonably request with respect to Ford Assigned Employees. Visteon will
share any such information with Ford (other than non-job related personal care
received by the Ford Assigned Employees unless related to a legitimate business
interest of Ford) regardless of any claim of privilege or confidentiality
because Ford is an employer of the Ford Assigned Employees.
5. Payroll and Related Services. During the Assigned Period, Ford
shall provide payroll processing services for the Ford Assigned Employees
including, but not limited to, the following: weekly payroll, quarterly and
annual payroll tax deductions and filings, including deductions and payments for
income and Social Security tax requirements under local, state and federal laws;
personnel record maintenance,
4
authorized income withholding orders, insurance or other withholdings; employee
verification; retirement plan processing and annual W-2 forms; and reporting of
hours by Visteon location for Visteon to administer the Visteon local training
funds.
6. Employee Benefit Plans.
6.1 Identification of Plans. During the Assigned Period, Ford
shall cover the Ford Assigned Employees under the same employee benefit
and fringe benefit plans and arrangements generally offered to other
hourly represented UAW employees of Ford, at the same time, and the
Ford Assigned Employees shall be ineligible to participate in any
employee benefit plan or fringe benefit program sponsored by Visteon.
Ford reserves the right to modify, terminate or suspend any plan
applicable to any Ford Assigned Employee, subject to the Foird-UAW CBA.
6.2 Administration of Plans. During the Assigned Period, Ford or
its designee shall maintain, administer and manage all employee benefit
and fringe benefit plans and arrangements offered to the Ford Assigned
Employees.
7. Fees. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, Ford
shall be reimbursed monthly for the direct wage and benefit costs for the Ford
Assigned Employees, except with respect to reimbursement for item (iii) below
with respect to Retiree Health Care and Retiree Life Insurance, in which case
any such reimbursement shall be made directly to the applicable benefit plan.
For purposes of this Section 7, "direct wage and benefit costs" for which
reimbursement is required shall include:
(i) The weekly gross wage, and any other type of compensation such
as Christmas bonus, moving allowance, and any other cash
compensation not included in the Standard Monthly Group Fringe
cost referred to in (ii) below, except with respect to profit
share, see item (viii) below, payable by Ford to each Ford
Assigned Employee for work performed during the Assigned
Period;
(ii) A per-employee Standard Monthly Group Fringe cost as published
from time to time by Ford in the PF-4 (U.S. Labor Assumptions)
less the accrual rates for Retirement Plans-Pensions, Retiree
Health Care, and Retiree Life Insurance;
(iii) Payments for Retirement Plans-Pensions, Retiree Health Care
and Retiree Life Insurance related to the Ford Assigned
Employees, according to the methodology set forth in
Attachment A hereto;
(iv) Expenses incurred by Ford with respect to each Ford Assigned
Employee that are not included in (i) through (iii) above and
arises as a result of such employee's work for the Business,
such as reserves for any, workers' compensation claims arising
out of any work accident while
5
the Ford Assigned Employee was performing work for the
Business, regardless of when the claim occurred and disability
claims with respect to each Ford Assigned Employee to the
extent such claims are not covered by insurance. Visteon will
assume responsibility as Ford's agent, for accruing and
administering the local training funds pursuant to the
Ford-UAW CBA. In the event Ford incurs expense for local
training funds relating to the Business, Visteon shall
reimburse Ford for such expense;
(v) Reasonable and necessary travel and business related expenses
related to Ford Assigned Employees incurred by Ford on behalf
of the Business and paid or reimbursed to such employee by
Ford as authorized by Ford's standard travel and business
expense reimbursement policy;
(vi) All assessments, premiums or other taxes incurred and paid by
Ford with respect to the Ford Assigned Employees not otherwise
paid under section (i) through (v) above, including the annual
Michigan Single Business Tax cost to Ford resulting from the
assignment of the Ford Assigned Employees to Visteon under
this Agreement;
(vii) Direct out-of-pocket incremental costs incurred by Ford in the
establishment and administration of benefit programs
applicable to Ford Assigned Employees including, but not
limited to, legal fees, record keeping, actuarial, and
accounting fees not otherwise payable from the Ford-UAW
Retirement Plan trust or the Tax Efficient Savings Plan for
Hourly Employees; and
(viii) For each of calendar years 2000 through 2003, annual profit
share payable by Ford to each Ford Assigned Employee,
provided, however, that any aggregate profit share
reimbursement shall be limited to the lesser of (A) $50
million, or (B) the aggregate actual profit share payable for
such year with respect to the Ford Assigned Employees. For
each calendar year commencing on or after January 1,2004 until
the termination of this Agreement, annual profit share payable
to each Ford Assigned Employee determined by employee count on
December 31 provided, however, that any per employee profit
share reimbursement shall be limited to the lesser of (A)
$2,040 (the "Profit Share Cap") or (B) the actual profit share
payable for such year with respect to such employee. The
Profit Share Cap excludes any employer payroll taxes payable
with respect to the payment and Visteon shall remain
responsible for reimbursing Ford for such taxes as provided in
(vi) above. In the event that Ford is required to pay a profit
share based on an Alternative Profit Sharing Calculation
pursuant to any current letter of understanding with the UAW,
the Profit Share Cap will apply only to the portion of the
profit share payment attributable to Ford's profits. The
6
portion of the profit share payment attributable to
Visteon's profits will not be subject to the Profit Share
Cap.
8. Payment. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each
calendar month during the Assigned Period, Ford shall render an invoice to
Visteon in such form and containing such detail as Visteon shall reasonably
require, for direct wage and benefit costs which Ford has incurred with respect
to the Ford Assigned Employees consistent with the Ford-UAW CBA and which were
not previously invoiced. In rendering such reports, Ford will not be required to
undertake any modifications to its information systems in order to render the
detail requested by Visteon. Unless some other form of payment is agreed between
Visteon and Ford, Visteon shall pay Ford this amount within ten (10) business
days of receipt of the invoice by wire transfer into a Ford designated account.
Visteon shall have a right to audit the invoices and related records of Ford
upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, at a place mutually agreed
by the Parties. To the extent the Parties agree the payment should be adjusted
as a result of such audit, any overpayments will be applied to the next
payment(s) due from Visteon and any underpayments will be added to the next
invoice issued by Ford.
9. Workers' Compensation and Unemployment Insurance. Ford shall
continue to provide Workers' Compensation and Unemployment Compensation coverage
for the Ford Assigned Employees at all times during the term of this Agreement.
10. Work Environment.
10.1 Compliance With All Health and Safety Laws. Visteon shall
maintain its facilities at its sole cost and expense so as to provide a
work environment in conformance with legal requirements.
10.2 Compliance with Employment Laws. The Parties shall comply with
all applicable national, federal, state and local employment laws,
including, but not limited to, wage and hour, overtime, discrimination
laws, and/or local employment ordinances.
11. Noninterference. In the event that Visteon desires to hire a
Ford Assigned Employee to become a Visteon Hourly Employee or a Visteon salaried
employee, Ford shall not interfere or restrict such employee from accepting any
Visteon offer of employment.
12. Assumption of Liability. As of the Effective Date, Visteon
will assume liability and responsibility for all pending employment claims with
respect to the Ford Assigned Employees that relate to the Business, provided,
however, that Visteon shall not assume any obligation or liability of Ford with
respect to the following litigation: Xxxxxxx Xxxxx et xx x. Xxxx Motor Company
filed on June 9,1993 in U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota, regarding
discrimination allegations. With respect to those claims
7
assumed, Visteon will have sole responsibility for deciding how to defend the
claims (e.g. whether to settle or litigate).
13. Visteon Role in Ford-UAW Bargaining. Pursuant to the terms of
a Plant Closing and Sale Moratorium letter dated October 9,1999 by and between
Ford and the UAW, the parties agreed that Ford would be permitted to spin-off,
sell or otherwise transfer the Business pursuant to certain conditions including
that (i) Visteon would agree to adopt a collective bargaining agreement for the
Visteon Hourly Employees that would mirror the Ford-UAW CBA for the 1999-2003
contract period and for the next two contract periods ("Restricted Period") and
(ii) in accordance with the Visteon-UAW CBA, Visteon Hourly Employees hired
during the Restricted Period are to be provided with wages, benefits and other
terms and conditions of employment by Visteon which are a mirror of the
successive Ford-UAW CBA's for the duration of their employment with and
retirement from Visteon ("Continuation Period") (the Restricted Period and the
Continuation Period to be known collectively as the "Mirror Period"). For a
period at least equal to the Mirror Period, Ford will include Visteon in
negotiations planning and strategy development and will consult in good faith
with Visteon concerning the terms of any CBA applicable to Ford Assigned
Employees before entering into such CBA. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to preclude Visteon and the UAW or any other union from negotiating
different terms and conditions of employment for the Visteon Hourly Employees
which are mutually satisfactory to those parties.
Notwithstanding the above, pursuant to the terms of a Memorandum of
Understanding between Visteon, Ford and the UAW effective September 15, 2003
(the "Memorandum"), the parties thereto agreed that Visteon would adopt a CBA
which mirrors in all respect, the 2003-2007 UAW-Ford National Agreement ("New
UAW/Visteon CBA"). It was also agreed that the UAW and Visteon would meet within
90 days of the ratification of the 2003-2007 UAW-Ford National Agreement, and
within 90 days of the date the meeting commences, negotiate towards a supplement
to the New UAW/Visteon CBA (the "Supplement") consistent with the terms
described in the Memorandum. Accordingly, commencing on the effective date of
the Supplement, Ford will include Visteon in negotiations planning and strategy
development and will consult in good faith with Visteon concerning the terms of
any CBA applicable to Ford Assigned Employees before entering into such CBA
until the termination of the Restricted Period. To the extent Ford Assigned
Employees continue to be assigned after the Restricted Period, the Parties shall
meet prior to the commencement of bargaining to discuss Visteon's appropriate
role in relation to the number of Ford Assigned Employees. Pursuant to the
Memorandum, it was agreed that employees hired by Visteon under the terms of the
Visteon CBA adopted June 29, 2000 would be transferred to Ford and become Ford
Hourly Employees subject to assignment back to Visteon under the terms of this
Agreement. Visteon and Ford have entered into an Hourly Employee Conversion
Agreement to effectuate such transfer.
14. Future Changes. Under the Ford-UAW CBA, the local parties may
agree to local continuous improvement initiatives to improve operational
effectiveness. Ford will support Visteon's efforts to secure appropriate changes
in work rules and practices,
8
or other local continuous improvement initiatives, to improve operational
effectiveness. Nothing herein contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
to interfere With Visteon's rights as an employer to pursue its own aims in the
collective bargaining process with the UAW with respect to Visteon Hourly
Employees. If Visteon and the UAW agree that Ford Assigned Employees should
become Visteon Hourly Employees subject to the terms of the Visteon-UAW CBA,
Ford shall cooperate in transferring the employment of the Ford Assigned
Employees to Visteon, provided however, that Ford incurs no additional cost with
respect thereto.
15. Management of Worker's Compensation Claims. The Parties
recognize that because Ford will remain an employer of the Ford Assigned
Employees, Visteon may have limitations on its ability to control and manage
worker's compensation claims relating to the Ford Assigned Employees. Ford and
Visteon will work together to develop and implement a strategy and process for
minimizing and reducing those claims.
16. Governance Council. Pursuant to the Relationship Agreement,
the Parties agreed to establish a Governance Council. The membership,
objectives, responsibilities and process for the Governance Council are set
forth on Exhibit A to the Relationship Agreement and are incorporated herein by
reference.
17. Indemnity.
17.1 Visteon Indemnity. Visteon shall indemnify Ford against and
agrees to hold it harmless from any and all damage, loss, claim,
liability and expense (including without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expense in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding brought against Ford) incurred or suffered by Ford arising
out of (i) breach of any agreement made by Visteon hereunder; (ii) any
claim by Ford Assigned Employees (or their dependents or beneficiaries)
arising out of or in connection with the operation, administration,
funding or termination of any of Visteon's employee benefit plans or
programs, whenever made, including, without limitation, claims made to
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), the Department of
Labor ("DOL"), or the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"); or (iii)
employment claims of Ford Assigned Employees whenever made based on
conditions or actions arising prior to or during the Assigned Period,
except as provided in Section 17.2 (iii) below.
17.2 Ford Indemnity. Ford shall indemnify Visteon against and
agrees to hold it harmless from any and all damage, loss, claim,
liability and expense (including without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding brought against Visteon) incurred or suffered by Visteon
arising out of (i) breach of any agreement made by Ford hereunder; (ii)
any claim by Ford Assigned Employees (or their dependents or
beneficiaries) arising out of or in connection with the operation,
administration, funding or termination of any of the employee benefit
plans or programs applicable to the Ford Assigned Employees, whenever
made, including without limitation, claims
9
made to the PBGC, the DOL, or the IRS; or (iii) employment claims of
the Ford Assigned Employees that arise before or during the Assigned
Period where the liability, if any, is primarily the result of and
arising from conduct of a Ford supervisor or manager not employed by
the Business (as opposed to the actions or inaction of Visteon).
17.3 Procedure for Indemnity. The procedure for indemnification
under this Section 17 shall be as set forth in Section 7(c) through (j)
of the Master Transfer Agreement and shall be incorporated herein by
reference.
18. Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between the Parties
relating to this Agreement, the following shall be the sole and exclusive
procedure for enforcing the terms hereof and for seeking relief, including but

injunctive relief from a court where appropriate solely for the purpose of
maintaining the status quo while this procedure is being followed:
18.1 Initial Meeting. The Parties promptly shall hold a meeting of
the Governance Council to attempt in good faith to negotiate a
mutually satisfactory resolution of the dispute; provided,
however, that no Party shall be under any obligation
whatsoever to reach, accept or agree to any such resolution;

vitiate or reduce the obligations and liabilities of the
Parties or he deemed a waiver by a Party hereto of any
remedies to which such Party would otherwise be entitled.
18.2 Mediation/Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to negotiate
a mutually satisfactory resolution as provided above, any
Party may so notify the other. In that event, the Parties
agree to participate in good faith in mediation of the
dispute. Such mediation shall conclude no later than
forty-five (45) days from the date that the mediator is
appointed. If the Parties are not successful in resolving the
dispute through mediation, then the Parties agree to submit
the matter to binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator in
accordance with the CPR Rules for Non-Administered
Arbitration. Within five business days after the selection of
the arbitrator, each Party shall submit its requested relief
to the other Party and to the arbitrator with a view toward
settling the matter prior to commencement of discovery. If no
settlement is reached, then discovery shall proceed. Upon the
conclusion of discovery, each Party shall again submit to the
arbitrator its requested relief (which may be modified from
the initial submission) and the arbitrator shall select only
the entire requested relief submitted by one Party or the
other, as the arbitrator deems most appropriate. The
arbitrator shall not select one Party's requested relief as to
certain claims or counterclaims and the other Party's
requested relief as to other claims or counterclaims. Rather,
the arbitrator must only select one or the other Party's
entire requested relief on all of the asserted
10
claims and counterclaims, and the arbitrator will enter a
final ruling that adopts in whole such requested relief. The
arbitrator will limit the arbitrator's final ruling to
selecting the entire requested relief the arbitrator considers
the most appropriate from those submitted by the Parties.]
18.3 Procedure. Mediation and, if necessary, arbitration shall take
place in the City of Dearborn, Michigan unless the Parties
agree otherwise or the mediator or the arbitrator selected by
the Parties orders otherwise. Punitive or exemplary damages
shall not be awarded. This clause is subject to the Federal
Arbitration Act, 28 U.S.C.A. Section 1, et seq., or comparable

ATTACHMENT A
PENSION, RETIREE HEALTH CARE AND RETIREE LIFE INSURANCE EXPENSE
For purposes of Section 7(iii) of the Amended and Restated Hourly Employee
Assignment Agreement, (the "Agreement") the expense for Retirement
Plans-Pension, Retiree Health Care and Retiree Life Insurance for the Ford
Assigned Employees shall be determined in accordance with the methodology
described in this Attachment A.
1. Retirement Plans-Pension. Visteon shall be responsible for
paying Ford with cash for the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87
("SFAS No. 87") annual expense with respect to the Ford Assigned Employees,
determined as provided below.
1.1 Visteon Pension Account Established. Solely for purposes of
determining the correct expense and payment amount, and not for
purposes of establishing a separate trust or pension plan with respect
to the Ford Assigned Employees, a notional Visteon-UAW Pension Asset
Account ("Visteon Pension Account") will be established, as if the
Ford-UAW Pension Plan in which the Ford Assigned Employees participate
had been segregated into a separate trust which continued to
participate in the Ford Master Trust. The Visteon Pension Account shall
be established as of July 1, 2000 ("Start Date"). The opening balance
of the Visteon Pension Account will be established by crediting such
account with assets equal in amount to the projected benefit obligation
as defined in SFAS No. 87 ("PBO") of the active Ford Assigned Employees
as of the Start Data ("Hourly PBO"). The Hourly PBO shall be determined
by an independent actuary appointed by Ford ("Ford Actuary") using:
(i) the actuarial assumptions and methods used in the
most recent SFAS 87 actuarial valuation developed
for accounting purposes under the Ford-UAW
Retirement Plan prepared by the Ford Actuary; and
(ii) a discount rate as of the Start Date determined
by Ford using its normal methods for developing a
SFAS 87 discount rate but based on market
interest rates as of the Start Date.
An independent actuary appointed by Visteon ("Visteon Actuary") shall
have the opportunity to verify the calculation of the Hourly PBO.
1.2 Visteon Pension Account Activity. After the opening balance of
the Visteon Pension Account is determined in accordance with Section
1.1 above, it shall be managed quarterly and shall be:
2
(i) increased by any cash contribution paid by
Visteon to Ford under Section 1.3;
(ii) decreased by the amount of retirement
benefits payable to the Ford Assigned
Employees who retire after the Start Date;
(iii) decreased by an allocable share of Ford-UAW
Plan expenses based on the ratio of PBO of
the Ford Assigned Employees to the total PBO
of the Ford UAW Retirement Plan, unless Ford
and Visteon agree to another method; and
(iv) increased or decreased by the Ford U.S.
Pension Master Trust actual rate of
investment return, computed annually.
If for administrative reasons, the exact amount of retirement
benefits payable to the Ford Assigned Employees cannot be
determined precisely, then Ford shall be able to substitute a
fair approximation of the retirement benefits paid. The
Visteon Actuary shall have the opportunity to verify the
calculation.
1.3 Determination of Annual Pension Charge and Equal Cash Pension
Payment. The annual charge by Ford to Visteon and the cash payable by
Visteon to Ford for any given year shall be equal to the sum of (A),
(B) and (C) where:
(A) is the SFAS 87 pension expense for that year (or, at
the outset, a part year) based on:
(i) as of each annual actuarial valuation
date, the liabilities of the Ford
Assigned Employees;
(ii) the Ford-UAW Retirement Plan assumptions
used in the Ford Actuary's SFAS 87
valuation of the Ford-UAW Retirement
Plan for the applicable year; and
(iii) the value of the Visteon Pension Account
(B) is the administration expenses as defined in Section
1.2(iii) of this Attachment; and
(C) is the SFAS 88 pension expense for Ford Assigned
Employees related to any termination incentive or
similar programs occurring in the year.
2
3
The cash shall be payable at a time agreed by the Parties, but
in no event shall the payment be made any less frequently than
monthly, in which event the payment shall be due within
fifteen (15) days after the end of the month.
2. Retiree Health Care and Retiree Life insurance. Visteon shall
be responsible for the cost of providing post-retirement
health and life benefits for Ford Assigned Employees, together
with their eligible covered spouses or dependents under the
Ford Plans (as defined below) beginning as of the Start Date,
less the Ford Offset (Adjusted) (as defined below). Ford shall
be responsible for the Ford Offset (Adjusted) related to
Pre-Spin Service (as defined below). The following sets forth
the Parties' respective obligations.
For purposes of this Section 2, the following terms will have
the following meanings:
2.0.1 "Fixed Ratio" shall mean a percentage determined as
of December 31, 2003 by dividing the Ford Offset by
the Total SFAS 106 Accumulated Postretirement Benefit
Obligation ("APBO") for Ford Assigned Employees
related to Pre-Spin Service. The Fixed Ratio will be
determined as of the December 31, 2003 valuation date
by the Ford Actuary and shall be verified by the
Visteon Actuary. The Fixed Ratio will remain constant
throughout the term of this Agreement. The Fixed
Ratio calculation is set forth on Exhibit 1.
2.0.2 "Ford Offset" shall mean the OPEB liability related
to Pre-Spin Service. The amount of the Ford Offset
shall be calculated by the Ford Actuary for each Ford
Assigned Employee based on the SFAS 106 balance sheet
liability for Ford Assigned Employees as of December
31, 2003. The Ford Actuary may utilize reasonable
approximations in developing these amounts. The Ford
Offset shall be calculated as of June 29, 2000 and
will include interest at the applicable SFAS 106
discount rate to December 31, 2003 and a pro-rata
share of actuarial losses recognized in expense for
the period from June 30, 2000 through December 31,
2003, as specified in Exhibit 1. The Visteon Actuary
shall verify the Ford Offset calculation.
2.0.3 "Ford Offset (Adjusted)" shall mean the Ford Offset
(as adjusted) to include interest at the applicable
Ford SFAS 106 discount rate to the annual valuation
date and reduced by the annual Ford OPEB Benefit
Share. The Ford Offset shall not be adjusted for the
effect of future actuarial gains or losses, such as
changes in the health care trend rate or actual
experience,
3
4
but will be adjusted for the effect of future
amendments and legislative or regulatory changes
related to Pre-Spin Service and reduced by the effect
of employee transfers described in Section 9. Visteon
also shall be responsible for any changes to the
Post-Spin Service and Pre-Spin Service APBO related
to the effect of wage increases.
2.0.4 "Ford OPEB Benefit Share" in a year shall mean the
product of (i) the average annual health and life
benefits cost per Ford-UAW retiree; (ii) the number
of Retired Ford Assigned Employees (excluding
employee transfers described in Section 9); (iii) the
Fixed Ratio; and (iv) the Variable Ratio. The Ford
OPEB Benefit Share shall be zero after December
31, 2049.
2.0.5 "OPEB" shall mean the post retirement health and life
benefits for Ford Assigned Employees, together with
their eligible covered spouses or dependents under
the Plans.
2.0.6 "Retired Ford Assigned Employees" shall mean the Ford
Assigned Employees who have retired under the terms
of the Ford-UAW Retirement Plan since the Start Date
and whose last place of work was at a Visteon
location, together with their eligible covered
spouses or dependents.
2.0.7 "Plans" shall mean the Ford-UAW Hospital-Surgical-
Medical-Drug-Dental-Vision Program and the Ford-UAW
Group Life and Disability Insurance Plan, and any
successor plans.
2.08 "Post-Spin Service" shall mean service of a Ford
Assigned Employee on or after June 29, 2000.
2.0.9 "Pre-Spin Service" shall mean service of a Ford
Assigned Employee prior to June 29, 2000.
2.0.10 "Variable Ratio" shall be a percentage determined
annually such that if reduced by 2% for each
subsequent year, results in the projected Ford Offset
(Adjusted) being zero on or about December 31, 2049.
The Variable Ratio will be determined annually by the
Ford Actuary and shall be verified by the Visteon
Actuary.
2.0.11 "Visteon OPEB Administrative Expense" shall mean an
allocable share of Ford-UAW OPEB administrative
expenses based on the ratio of APBO of the Ford
Assigned Employees to the total APBO in respect of
Ford-UAW employees and retirees, unless Ford and
Visteon agree to another method
4
5
2.0.12 "Visteon OPEB Benefit Share" shall mean the estimated
amount of OPEB claims paid during the year to the
Retired Ford Assigned Employees (excluding employee
transfers described in Section 9) determined on the
basis of the average per contract claims costs for
Ford-UAW retirees less the Ford OPEB Benefit Share.
2.1 Determination of Annual OPEB Charge. The charge by Ford to
Visteon for any given year shall be equal to the sum of (A), (B) and
(C) where
(A) is the SFAS 106 OPEB expense for that year,
allocated to the Ford Assigned Employees
(or, at the outset, a part year) based on
the following:
(i) as of each annual actuarial valuation
date, the liabilities of the Ford
Assigned Employees;
(ii) the Ford-UAW Plan assumptions used in
the Ford Actuary's SFAS 106 valuation of
the Ford-UAW Plans for the applicable
year; and
(iii) the Ford Offset (Adjusted).
(B) is the Visteon OPEB Administrative Expense;
(C) is SFAS 106 OPEB expense for Ford Assigned
Employees related to any termination incentive
or similar programs occurring in the year.
2.2 Determination of Annual OPEB Cash Payment.
2.2.1 For Years 2004 and 2005. Beginning January 1, 2004
through December 31, 2005, the Annual OPEB Cash
reimbursement to Ford, as Plan Administrator, for
years 2004 and 2005 shall be an amount equal to the sum
of (A) and (B) where
(A) is the Visteon OPEB Benefit Share;
(B) is the Visteon OPEB Administrative Expense.
The cash shall be payable at a time agreed by the
Parties, but in no event shall the payment be made
any less frequently than monthly, in which event the
payment shall be due no later than fifteen (15) days
after the end of the month.
5
6
2.2.2 Pre-Fundinq of SFAS 106 Liability. Visteon will
establish and maintain a Voluntary Employees'
Beneficiary Association ("VEBA") trust whose purpose is
to reimburse the Plans in respect of the Visteon OPEB
Benefit Share and Visteon OPEB Administrative Expense.
Visteon agrees that it will make a series of cash
payments to the VEBA so that by December 31,2049 the
assets in the VEBA will equal the OPEB balance sheet
liability at the same date for OPEB benefits in respect
of Ford Assigned Employees and Retired Ford Assigned
Employees. Visteon's cash payment to the VEBA shall
commence no later than January 2, 2006 and shall be
payable in advance in twelve equal monthly installments.
The amount of cash payable to the VEBA in each year
commencing on or after January 1, 2006 shall be as
provided below:
2.2.2.1 For Years 2006 though 2020. The amount of
cash payable to the Visteon VEBA in each
year commencing January 1, 2006 through
December 31, 2020 shall be an amount equal
to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) and
(B), or (ii) (C), where:
(A) is the sum of the OPEB balance
sheet liability in respect of Ford
Assigned Employees at December 31,
2005 and the corresponding
remaining OPEB unrecognized
actuarial gains/losses in respect
of Ford Assigned Employees and
Retired Ford Assigned Employees at
December 31, 2005 based on the
actuarial valuation at December 31,
2003 (these amounts to be
determined by the Ford Actuary and
verified by the Visteon, Actuary),
divided by 15; and
(B) is the amortized Annual OPEB Charge
as computed pursuant to Section
2.1, reduced by the actual return
on the VEBA, reduced by any
amortization of any gains or losses
included in Section 2.2.2.1 (A)
above and amortized over 30 years
for the period commencing January
1, 2006 and ending December
31, 2020, together with the annual
amortization of each previous
year's unamortized amount.
(C) is the Visteon OPEB Benefit Share;
2.2.2.2 For Years 2021 through 2049. The amount of
cash payable to the Visteon VEBA in each
year commencing
6
7
January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2049
shall be an amount equal to the greater of
(A) or (B) where
(A) is the amortized Annual OPEB Charge
as computed pursuant to Section
2.1, reduced by the actual return
on the VEBA, and amortized over a
period equal to 30 minus n (30-n)
where n is equal to the present
year minus 2020, together with the
annual amortization of each
previous year's unamortized amount;
and
(B) is the Visteon OPEB Benefit Share
2.2.2.3 For Years 2050 and After. The amount of cash
payable to the Visteon VEBA in each year
commencing on or after January 1, 2050 shall
be an amount equal to the amortized Annual
OPEB Charge as computed pursuant to Section
2.1, reduced by the actual return on the
VEBA, if any.
If, at any annual valuation, the value of assets in the
VEBA equals or exceeds the remaining balance sheet
liability in respect of Ford Assigned Employees, the
Parties will agree on a revised payment schedule with
the intent that, at December 31, 2049, the VEBA assets
will be equal to the remaining liability. No later than
December 31, 2030, and at least every five years
thereafter, the Parties will review the funding progress
and adjust the formula as necessary to achieve that
intent.
Notwithstanding the above, Visteon may accelerate
payments to the VEBA in its discretion. In the event the
tax law or Visteon's tax position, subject to
concurrence by Ford, would not provide Visteon a current
tax benefit for the level of funding described above,
Visteon may make only such contributions to the VEBA
that would provide a current tax benefit to Visteon,
provided, however that the balance of the funding
obligation is otherwise paid directly to Ford at such
time as the payments are otherwise due to the VEBA. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "would not
provide Visteon a current tax benefit" shall include
such instances where making payments to the VEBA would
cause adverse tax consequences to Visteon, such as an
increase in net operating loss or foreign tax credit
carryovers. Ford shall credit Visteon with interest on
any amounts paid directly to Ford under this paragraph
at the pretax rate of return earned annually on Ford's
cash portfolio.
7
8
3. Verification and Reconciliation. The Ford Actuary shall
determine the Annual Cash Pension Payment and Annual Cash OPEB Payment to Ford
or the Plans provided in Section 1.3 and Section 2.2 and the Visteon Actuary
will have the opportunity to verify the calculation. On a yearly basis, but no
later than the last business day of January, Ford and Visteon will perform a
reconciliation of amounts due to or from each Party with respect to this
Agreement.
4. Recordkeeping. In connection with administering Section 1 and
2 above, Ford may decide to retain a third party service to maintain the
notional Visteon Pension Account and the Visteon Notional OPEB Account and to
determine the correct amount of Visteon payments according to the methodology
set forth in this Attachment A. If Ford decides to retain a third party service,
Ford shall consult with Visteon prior to appointing a third party service, but
Ford shall retain the right to appoint a third party service in its sole
discretion. Ford shall pay the expense of such third party service and Visteon
shall reimburse Ford for such expense. The third party service shall be subject
to audits by either Ford or Visteon or their authorized representatives.
5. Continuation of Arrangements. The terms set forth in this
Attachment A shall be in force until the last survivors and dependents of Ford
Assigned Employees in service as of the Start Date who are eligible for Ford-UAW
retirement or OPEB benefits are deceased, or upon earlier termination agreed
jointly by Ford and Visteon No later than June 30, 2050, the Parties shall
evaluate projected future OPEB benefit payments and recognized and unrecognized
OPEB liability and shall agree a final true-up payment necessary from Visteon to
Ford or from Ford to Visteon in order to fettle the Parties' respective
obligation in accordance with this Agreement.
6. Ability to Substitute. If necessary to preserve for each Party
the economic benefits bargained for under this Attachment, the Parties agree to
consider, in good faith, alternative methods of computing payments under this
Attachment A as a substitute for the present provisions. Any method substituted
shall have as its objective to produce a fair estimate of the pension and OPEB
expense and other payments as set forth in this Attachment A.
7. Definitions. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, the
capitalized terms herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the
Agreement.
8. Actuarial Verification. If the Visteon Actuary and the Ford
Actuary are unable to agree on a verification, Ford and Visteon shall jointly
designate a third independent actuary whose verification shall be final and
binding. Ford and Visteon shall each pay one-half of the cost of such third
actuary.
9. Employee Transfers. In the event that an employee ceases to
be a Ford Assigned Employee, but remains an employee of Ford, then Visteon
shall not be responsible for paying the cost of pension, retiree health or
retiree life benefits for such employee under Sections 1 and 2 of this
Attachment. Ford will assume the obligation and Visteon will pay Ford as
follows:
8
9
(A) Pensions: The balance in the Visteon Pension Account will be
reduced by the amount of the SFAS 87 PBO transferred to Ford;
provided however, for periods commencing on or after January
1, 2004, the balance in the Visteon Pension Account will be
reduced by a number equal to the SFAS 87 PBO multiplied by the
funded ratio of the notional account at the prior year end.
For example, if the PBO funded ratio is 66%, the balance in
the Visteon Pension Account shall be reduced by a number equal
to the SFAS 87 PBO multiplied by 66%.
(B) Retiree health and life benefits: Visteon will pay Ford an
amount equal to the SFAS 106 APBO transferred to Ford, and for
periods commencing on or after January 1,2004, after
consideration of the Ford Offset (Adjusted). In the event that
a significant number of Ford Assigned Employees return to Ford
in one transaction, the Parties shall reevaluate this
provision to determine if additional adjustments to the SFAS
106 APBO, or otherwise, should be made to preserve the
economics contemplated by the Parties in this Agreement. To
satisfy the payment obligation hereunder, and subject to Ford
consent, Visteon may cause the trustee of the Visteon VEBA to
transfer assets directly from Visteon's VEBA to Ford's VEBA,
subject to any appropriate regulatory approvals.
All adjustments should be handled on a quarterly basis based on SFAS 87 and SFAS
106 assumptions appropriate for that quarter.
Visteon shall retain appropriate records in order to identify these transfers.
In the event that, prior to the 2003 Ford-UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement, a
Ford employee becomes a Ford Assigned Employee, then Visteon shall assume the
obligation for pensions, retiree health and retiree life benefits for such
employee, and the financial arrangements shall be the reverse of those described
above.
The payment shall be due by the next March 31st following the year in which the
action took place ("Payment Date"), except with respect to payments in respect
of Ford Hourly Employees becoming Ford Assigned Employees prior to December 31,
2003, in which case the first payment from Ford to Visteon shall be due December
31, 2003.
For payments related to actions prior to the date of the Amended and
Restated Hourly Employee Assignment Agreement, the payment shall be as
follows:
(i) If the payment is less than $10 million, including interest at
the interest Rate (as hereafter defined), the amount shall be
due in one lump sum on the Payment Date.
(ii) If the payment for retiree health and life benefits (excluding
interest) exceeds $10 million, the Party with the obligation
shall have the option to
9
10
pay the amount in installments as follows: $10 million plus
interest at the interest Rate from the date of the action to
the Payment Date on the Payment Date and the balance in
succeeding years in annual installments of at least $5 million
plus interest on the outstanding principal at the Interest
Rate, until the obligation is satisfied. Installment payments
are due on each successive January 31st until the obligation is
satisfied.
(iii) "Interest Rate" shall mean the 90 day Treasury Xxxx rate
quoted in the Wall Street Journal for the relevant period.
For payments related to actions on or after the date of the Amended and
Restated Hourly Employee Assignment Agreement, the payment shall be as
follows:
(i) If the payment is less than $20 million, including interest at
the Interest Rate (as hereafter defined), the amount shall be
due in one lump sum on the Payment Date.
(ii) If the payment for retiree health and life benefits (excluding
interest) exceeds $20 million, the Party with the obligation
shall have the option to pay the amount in installments as
follows: $20 million plus interest at the Interest Rate from
the date of the action to the Payment Date on the Payment Date
and the balance in succeeding years in annual installments of
at least $10 million plus interest on the outstanding
principal at the Interest Rate, until the obligation is
satisfied. Installment payments are due on each successive
January 31st until the obligation is satisfied.
(iii) "Interest Rate" shall mean the 90 day Treasury Xxxx rate
quoted in the Wall Street Journal for the relevant period.
10. Health Care or Medicare Legislation. With respect to the
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, as
well as any other future health care legislative or regulatory change that
results in realizable economic benefits or costs to Ford or Visteon with
respect to post-retirement health care benefits related to Ford Assigned
Employees (excluding an employee who ceases to be a Ford Assigned Employee
as described in Section 9), the Parties agree to meet in order to determine
the appropriate allocation, if any, of such benefits or costs between Ford
and Visteon. The intent of the Parties is that the after-tax economic
benefit or cost of any such legislation or regulation, whether or not
reflected by SFAS 106 accounting, will be shared in a manner consistent with
the manner in which the underlying OPEB obligation (excluding such
legislation or regulation) is shared pursuant to this Attachment.
11. Tax Treatment. The Parties agree to treat the payments
required under Sections 1 and 2 of this Attachment A consistently for tax
reporting purposes. With respect to payments required by Section 1, Visteon will
claim tax deductions as its
10
11
specified payments to Ford are due and payable. Ford will include such amounts
in taxable income as such payments are due and payable. With respect to the
payments required by Section 2, Visteon will claim tax deductions as the related
benefit expenses are incurred or, if pre-funded, as contributions are made to
the designated Visteon VEBA trust. Ford will claim no tax deduction or other tax
benefit for the Ford Offset until such time as the underlying benefit expenses
are incurred or funded.
