3.7 Following the occurrence of a Cash Control Event (and while such event is

to VC, as the case may be, by way of Advance Purchase Price and any amounts of
Advance Purchase Price which have not been set off against the Purchase Price of

information provided in the most recent Master Servicer Report then available and any amounts of
Advanced Purchase Price paid to such Seller in a particular Agreed Currency which on the relevant
Determination Date have not been set off against the Purchase Price of Purchased Receivables (or
in the case of the English Seller in relation to English Restricted Receivables, the purchase of
an interest in the English Restricted Receivables Trust) in accordance with Clause 3.6 and remain
outstanding (the Negative Balance):
(a) | shall be set off against any amounts of Purchase Price payable to the Seller on such Settlement Date provided that no Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing as at such Settlement Date; and | |
(b) | to the extent that, following any such set-off there remains any Negative Balance, each Seller shall pay to the Master Purchaser on such Settlement Date an amount equal to the Negative Balance applicable to that Seller less any amount set-off pursuant to paragraph (a) above, |
provided that following the occurrence of a Cash Control Event (and while such event is
continuing), such Negative Balance shall not be set off as provided in sub-paragraph (a) above,
but shall be paid by the Seller to the relevant Master Purchaser Transaction Account on the date
on which such Cash Control Event occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next
following Business Day.
Supplemental Purchase Price

Period in respect of Purchased Receivables denominated in a particular Agreed
Currency exceed the aggregate of the amounts due and payable by the Master
Purchaser on the Settlement Date immediately following such Determination Period
in accordance with paragraphs (a) to (c) of the applicable Master Purchaser Priority of
Payments relating to payments in that Agreed Currency, then the Master Purchaser
shall (subject to having funds available for such purpose in accordance with the
applicable Master Purchaser Priority of Payments relating to payments in that Agreed
Currency) pay to each Seller, that Seller’s Seller Proportion of the amount of such
excess by way of additional purchase price for the Purchased Receivables that have
collected (such amounts payable being Supplemental Purchase Price).
German Receivables Deferred Purchase Price
3.10 The German Seller shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, in
consideration of the fact that the German Receivables are sold on a fully serviced
basis (i.e. servicing is retained by the German Seller in its capacity as a Sub-Servicer)
be entitled to the payment of periodic additional purchase price in respect of such
German Receivables (inclusive of value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax or any
other, similar taxes or duties) from the Master Purchaser (German Receivables

be payable by the Master Purchaser to the German Seller monthly in arrears on each
Page 11
Monthly Settlement Date in EUR in respect of each Monthly Determination Period out of the

Period ends.

(b) | Offices, Records, Name and Organisation: The Seller will keep its principal place of business and chief executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the Receivables at the address of the Seller set forth in Part A of Schedule 1 hereto or at another location provided it gives 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Funding Agent and the Master Purchaser.

Page 13
(d) | Extension or Amendment of Receivables: Except as provided in Clause 4.3(c) or to protect the Master Purchaser’s interest in the Purchased Receivables, or its interest in the English Restricted Receivables Trust, the Seller will not (and each Servicer and the Master Purchaser agree not to) extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Purchased Receivable or amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any Contract related thereto, except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, and provided in all cases that the Seller shall at all times comply with the Seller Credit and Collection Procedures. | |
(e) | Change in business or Seller Credit and Collection Procedures: The Seller will not make any change in the character of its business or in the Seller Credit and Collection Procedures that could, in either case, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. | |

If the Seller shall receive any Collections directly, it shall immediately (and in any event within two Business Days) deposit the same to the relevant Deposit Accounts of such Seller (or, in the case of VC, the Deposit Account of VEC). The Seller will not deposit or otherwise credit, or cause or permit to be so deposited or credited, to any Deposit Account, cash or cash proceeds other than Collections in respect of Purchased Receivables.

Page 14
the Funding Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interests in the Purchased Receivables and, in respect of the English Restricted Receivables, the Master Purchaser’s interest in the English Restricted Receivables Trust, or to enable the Master Purchaser or the Security Trustee or the Funding Agent to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement. | ||

Security Trustee or the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall give written notice of the declaration to
the Parent and the Master Servicer as soon as possible following such declaration.
Termination
Event — Set off
6.2 Following the occurrence of a Termination Event due to an event of the kind described in
paragraph (n) of Schedule 1 to the Framework Deed (Termination Events — Insolvency) affecting a
Seller, each of the Master Purchaser, the MP Cash Manager, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the
Security Trustee shall to the extent permitted by law be entitled without notice (but shall not be
obliged) to set off any obligation which is due and payable by that Seller and unpaid against any
obligation (whether or not matured) owed under any Transaction Document by the Master Purchaser,
the Security Trustee, the MP Cash Manager or the Collateral Monitoring Agent (as the case may be)
to that Seller regardless of the place of payment or currency of either obligation.
Termination by the Parent
6.3 The Parent on behalf of the Sellers may terminate the agreement of the Sellers to sell
Receivables to the Master Purchaser as provided in Clause 2.1 at any time by giving 5 Business
Days’ notice in writing to the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee, the Collateral Monitoring
Agent and the Funding Agent.
Termination of Sales by the UK Seller
6.3A The UK Seller may terminate its agreement to sell Receivables to the Master Purchaser as
provided in Clause 2.1 at any time by giving 5 Business Days’ notice in writing to the Master
Purchaser, the Security Trustee, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Funding Agent. Any such
termination by the UK Seller shall be without prejudice to the agreement of the other Sellers to
sell Receivables and, subject to
Page 25
Clause 5 of the Framework Deed of Amendment without prejudice to the other obligations of
the UK Seller under the Transaction Documents.
Continuing Effect
6.4 Any termination pursuant to this Clause 6 or any other permitted termination of this
Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations of the parties in relation to any
Purchased Receivables purchased prior to such termination and subject, in the case of the UK
Seller, to Clause 5 of the Framework Deed of Amendment the provisions of this Agreement shall
continue to bind the parties to the extent and for so far and so long as may be necessary to
give effect to such rights and obligations. The covenants, obligations and undertakings
contained in this Agreement and the rights and remedies in this Agreement in respect of any
representation, warranty or statement made under or in connection with this Agreement and the
indemnification and other payment obligations in this Agreement shall continue and remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.
7. Remedies for Breach of Warranty
Non-Conforming Receivables
7.1 If any representation or warranty set out in Part A of Schedule 2 insofar as it relates
to the assignability, collectability, validity or enforceability of a Purchased Receivable or if
any representation or warranty set out in Part B of Schedule 2 in respect of a Purchased
Receivable proves to have been incorrect on the Funding Date (for Receivables purchased on the
Funding Date) or for other Purchased Receivables on the date on which it is made or deemed to be
made and remains incorrect, or if the relevant Purchased Receivable has never existed (each
affected Purchased Receivable being a Non-Conforming Receivable), the Seller that originated any
such Non-Conforming Receivable (or, VC, in the case of Non-Conforming Receivables originated by
VEC and sold by VC) shall be deemed to have received a collection of the full amount of each
such Non-Conforming Receivable in the same Agreed Currency (a Deemed Collection) and shall pay
the amount of each such Deemed Collection in that Agreed Currency to the relevant Deposit
Account on the next Settlement Date in respect of each such Non-Conforming Receivable. To the
extent that a Seller has made a payment to the Master Purchaser in respect of a Non-Conforming
Receivable in accordance with this Clause 7.1 and an actual Collection is subsequently received
by the Master Purchaser in respect of such Non-Conforming Receivable, the Master Purchaser will
pay to that Seller on the immediately succeeding Settlement Date by crediting the relevant
Deposit Account of such Seller in the same Agreed Currency, in accordance with the applicable
Master Purchaser Priority of Payments and by way of refund of the payment made by that Seller
pursuant to this Clause 7.1, an amount equal to the Collection so received in respect of such
Non-Conforming Receivable in the same Agreed Currency.
Dilutions
7.2 If at any time:
Page 26
(a) | there arises any set-off, counterclaim, dispute, defence or deduction in respect of a Purchased Receivable by the relevant Obligor; or | |
(b) | any Dilution occurs in relation to a transaction under which a Purchased Receivable arises or any other transaction between the relevant Seller and the relevant Obligor; |
then the relevant Seller shall be deemed to have received a collection of each such Diluted
Receivable in the amount of the relevant dilution in the same Agreed Currency on the day such
dilution occurs (a Deemed Collection) and the relevant Seller shall pay the amount of each such
Deemed Collection in that Agreed Currency to the relevant Deposit Account on the next Settlement
Date.
Payment of Deemed Collections by VC
7.3 The obligation of VC to pay any Deemed Collection to the Master Purchaser under Clause 7.1 or
7.2 shall be deemed to be satisfied if VEC makes a corresponding payment under Clauses 7.1 or 7.2
of the VC Receivables Purchase Agreement.
Means of remedying breach
7.4 For the avoidance of doubt, the payment by a Seller in full of the amount due in respect of any
Receivable under Clause 7.1 or 7.2 on the Settlement Date on which it is due (which the Master
Purchaser and that Seller agree may be effected by way of set-off against any Purchase Price
payable to that Seller on such Settlement Date) will remedy any breach or default by that Seller in
respect of that Receivable and neither the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee nor the Funding
Agent shall have any other right or remedy in respect of such breach or default. In the case of VC,
the payment by VEC in full of the amount due in respect of any Receivable in accordance with Clause
7.3 on the Settlement Date on which it is due will remedy any breach or default by VC in respect of
that Receivable and neither the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee nor the Funding Agent shall
have any other remedy or right in respect of such breach or default.
Recoupment of Value Added Tax
7.5 For the purpose of ensuring recoupment of any VAT forming part of a Purchased Receivable:
(a) | all or part of which remains unpaid after the statutory period for purposes of claiming bad debt relief has elapsed; or | |
(b) | which or the Outstanding Balance of which is, or would be, reduced, adjusted or cancelled by the Seller that originated such Purchased Receivable; |
the relevant Seller that originated such Purchased Receivable (which for the avoidance of doubt
shall not include VC) will use its reasonable endeavours to recover such value added tax to the
extent that such Seller is legally entitled to claim a repayment of such value added tax (or the
appropriate part thereof) from the appropriate tax authorities, and shall, upon receipt of any
amount in respect of such
Page 27
value added tax, to the extent that the Master Purchaser has not already been fully compensated
for the non-receipt of such part of the Purchased Receivable as is equal to the valued added tax
charged thereon, promptly remit the net amount not so compensated to the Master Purchaser and any
such net amount will be paid into the relevant Deposit Account of such Seller in the relevant
Agreed Currency and treated as a Collection in that Agreed Currency. The Seller that originated
such Purchased Receivable (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include VC) will make such
accounting write-offs and transfers and raise such credit notes as may be necessary or desirable
for this purpose, and take all such other steps as may be reasonably requested by the Master
Purchaser provided that the Seller shall not be required to take any steps which it reasonably
considers will unduly prejudice its tax affairs. At the request of that Seller and whether or not
any amounts are payable to the Master Purchaser under this Clause 7.5, the Master Purchaser may,
or at such time as the Master Purchaser is fully compensated, will, reassign or re-transfer a
Purchased Receivable which is a Defaulted Receivable to the relevant Seller, who will accept such
re-assignment or re-transfer of any such Purchased Receivable (for a nil or nominal
consideration), solely for the purpose of facilitating recoupment of such value added tax.

Page 28
Master Purchaser it satisfies the Eligibility Criteria and to identify the Purchased Receivable as an Eligible Receivable or a non-Eligible Receivable and, in the case of Visteon UK Limited, to identify the Purchased Receivable as an Assignable Receivable or an English Restricted Receivable in its books and records and computer systems; and | ||

the Servicers elsewhere in this Agreement. Any such delegation shall be without prejudice to the
obligations of the Master Servicer to the Master Purchaser and the Collateral Monitoring Agent
under this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, under Clause 8.1, notwithstanding the
direct undertakings given in this Agreement by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Purchaser and the
Collateral Monitoring Agent in respect of the duties and obligations delegated to them by the
Master Servicer.
8.3 Each Sub-Servicer (other than Visteon Deutschland GmbH) undertakes with the Master Servicer,

duties delegated to them by the Master Servicer, with effect from the Closing Date (or, in the case
of the US Sub-Servicer, with effect from the Second Closing Date):

(b) | report to the Master Purchaser and the Collateral Monitoring Agent on the performance of the Purchased Receivables originated by that Sub-Servicer; | |
(c) | pursue delinquent Obligors; | |

(g) | take all other action as necessary or desirable for the Master Servicer to perform its own duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents and for the servicing of all other Receivables; and | |
(h) | perform those other functions as more particularly described in this Agreement, |
in all such cases as provided for under this Agreement.
8.4 In connection with the sale and purchase of German Receivables under Clause 2, it is agreed
and acknowledged that such German Receivables are sold on a fully serviced basis (i.e. servicing
is retained by the German Seller in its capacity as a Sub-Servicer) and accordingly the German
Seller (in its capacity as Sub-Servicer) undertakes in favour of the Master Purchaser that it
shall:
(a) | collect all sums due in relation to the German Receivables including Delinquent Receivables and Defaulted Receivables and provide administration services in relation to the collection of the German Receivables; | |
(b) | report to the Master Purchaser and the Collateral Monitoring Agent on the performance of the German Receivables; | |
(c) | pursue delinquent Obligors in respect of German Receivables; | |

Agreement.

Master Purchaser) are, and shall at all times remain, vested in the Master Purchaser and its
directors and officers and none of the provisions of this Agreement or the Master Receivables
Purchase Agreement shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with this Clause 8.7.
9. Representations, Warranties and Undertakings
In entering into this Agreement, each Servicer and each Seller and the Parent hereby represents
and warrants severally to the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee and the Collateral Monitoring
Agent on the Funding Date (or, in the case of VC or VEC, on the Second Closing Date) as to the
terms set out in Part A of Schedule 2 (excluding, with respect to the Parent only, paragraphs (e),
(g), (i), (j), (t), (v) and (w)) with reference to the facts and circumstances then subsisting
(and, with respect to the Parent only in relation to paragraph (1), (m), (n) and (o), to the best
of its knowledge).
10. Collection of Receivables
Sending of Invoices and payments into Deposit Accounts
10.1 The Master Servicer shall procure that each Sub-Servicer shall send Invoices to the Obligors
in its own name, in accordance with the Seller Credit and Collection Procedures, shall collect all
Collections in an efficient and timely fashion and shall ensure that the payment terms of each
Purchased Receivable require payment to be made into the appropriate Deposit Account(s)
(denominated in the same Agreed Currency as the Receivable) of the Seller that originated the
Receivable (being, in the case of the Portuguese Seller, the Master Purchaser Portuguese Deposit
Accounts) or, in respect of Purchased Receivables purchased by the Master Purchaser from VC, into
the Deposit Account (denominated in the same Agreed Currency as the Receivables)
Page 31
of VEC. In connection with such Collections, each Servicer shall present all documents
necessary in support of such amounts due from the relevant Obligors.
Use of Deposit Accounts
10.2 Each Servicer (other than the US Sub-Servicer) shall at all times following the date falling
60 days after the Closing Date, and the US Sub-Servicer shall at all times following the date
falling 60 days after the Second Closing Date, procure that only monies which derive from Purchased
Receivables sold by that Servicer (in its capacity as Seller or, in the case of the US
Sub-Servicer, VEC) will be paid into a Non-French Receivables Deposit Account held in the name of
that Seller or VEC, as the case may be, and that no Non-French Receivables Deposit Account will be
used for any purpose other than the payment of Collections of the same Agreed Currency to the
Master Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents save that, prior to the
occurrence of a Cash Control Event, the Seller or VEC (as the case may be) in whose name a
Non-French Receivables Deposit Account is held may apply any monies retained in that Non-French
Receivables Deposit Account in accordance with Clause 3.4 (in the case of all Sellers except VC),
3.4A (in the case of VC), 3.5 and 3.6 and Clause 10.3 (Payment of Collections) for payment of the
Purchase Price or Advance Purchase Price in respect of newly originated Receivables. If at any time
during the period from the Closing Date to the date falling 60 days after the Closing Date (or in
respect of the US Sub-Servicer, from the Second Closing Date to the date falling 60 days after the
Second Closing Date) amounts not representing monies derived from Purchased Receivables are paid to
the credit of a Non-French Receivables Deposit Account, the relevant Servicer shall upon such
monies being identified as not being derived from Purchased Receivables (and in any event within 2
Business Days of such monies being paid into such Non-French Receivables Deposit Account) procure
that such amounts are transferred out of the relevant Non-French Receivables Deposit Account. To
the extent that any monies are credited to a Non-French Receivables Deposit Account which are not
Collections, the relevant Servicer will, if it is otherwise unable to distinguish the same,
attribute such monies first to Collections, and second to any other amount.
Payment of Collections
10.3 On each Business Day prior to the occurrence of a Cash Control Event, Collections received in
a Non-French Receivables Deposit Account will be applied in payment of the Purchase Price or
Advance Purchase Price in respect of newly originated Receivables (provided they are in the same
Agreed Currency and originated by that Servicer) pursuant to Clause 3.4 (in the case of
Receivables originated by the Servicers except for VEC), 3.4A (in the case of Receivables
originated by XXX), 3.5 and 3.6.
10.4 Upon the occurrence of a Cash Control Event which is continuing, the Servicers shall no longer
be entitled to apply any Collections in payment of the Purchase Price or Advance Purchase Price in
respect of newly originated Receivables, will not be entitled to withdraw funds credited to the
Non-French Receivables Deposit Accounts, and will procure that all funds credited to the Non-French
Receivables Deposit Accounts are transferred to the Master Purchaser Transaction Account in the
Page 32
same Agreed Currency prior to 5.00 p.m. London time each day on which banks are generally open for
business in the location of the relevant Deposit Account Bank.
10.5 If any Servicer transfers any amount to a Master Purchaser Transaction Account in accordance
with Clause 10.4 and such amount is later proven by that Servicer to the Master Purchaser’s
satisfaction to be an amount which is not a Collection, the Master Purchaser agrees that, upon
request by that Servicer and at the expense of that Servicer, it will transfer such amount to such
bank account as the Servicer may direct.
Notification to Deposit Account Bank
10.6 Each of the Sellers, VEC and Servicers acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a
Cash Control Event which is continuing, the Master Purchaser (and its authorised representatives
notified to the Seller(s) or VEC (in the case of Receivables originated by XXX) in whose name the
Non-French Receivables Deposit Account(s) are held) and the Security Trustee shall have the right
to notify any of the Deposit Account Banks of the occurrence of the Cash Control Event and
thenceforth exercise their control rights in respect of the Non-French Receivables Deposit Account
in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the relevant Account Control
Agreement, and that for this purpose, subject always to the terms of the Master Purchaser Deed of
Charge, the Master Purchaser has appointed the Collateral Monitoring Agent to act as its agent for
the purpose of notifying any Deposit Account Bank of the occurrence of a Cash Control Event, and
after doing so for the purpose of instructing the relevant Deposit Account Bank how to operate the
relevant Non-French Receivables Deposit Account.
11. Records and Accounts
Determination of Collections
11.1 On each Business Day, the Master Servicer will calculate the aggregate amount of Collections
denominated in each Agreed Currency received into the Deposit Accounts on the immediately preceding
Business Day. After the occurrence of a Cash Control Event which has not been waived by the Master
Purchaser, the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Security Trustee, the Master Servicer will, if
so requested by the Funding Agent, notify such aggregate amount to the Master Purchaser, the
Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Funding Agent on the Business Day immediately succeeding the
Business Day on which such Collections were received.
Allocation of Collections
11.2 For the purpose of Clause 11.1 where, for any reason, the Master Purchaser has received in
cash less than 100 per cent. of the Outstanding Balance of a Purchased Receivable, all amounts
collected in respect of that Purchased Receivable shall be applied:
(a) | first to the Discount element; |
Page 33

Operation of Accounts
11.3 If pursuant to Clause 18(o)(i) Visteon Portuguesa Ltd. transfers the Non-French Receivables
Deposit Accounts in its name to the name of the Master Purchaser, the Master Purchaser will grant
a power of attorney to Visteon Portuguesa Ltd., in its capacity as Servicer, to operate such
Non-French Receivables Deposit Accounts prior to the occurrence of a Cash Control Event and in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement on terms acceptable to the Master Purchaser, the
Security Trustee and the Collateral Monitoring Agent.

provide to the Master Purchaser, the Funding Agent, the MP Cash Manager and the Collateral
Monitoring Agent such additional information relevant to the Receivables (including the
enforceability, collectability or origination of the Purchased Receivables), the Sellers, VEC, the

the performance of its duties on behalf of Master Purchaser under this Agreement.
15. Purchases
Purchases of Receivables
On each Payment Date the Sellers, VEC and the Servicers shall each execute such documents, deeds,
agreements, instruments, consents, notices or authorisations and do all such other acts, things or

Purchased Receivables and shall comply in all material respects with the relevant Seller Credit and
Collection Procedures or to the extent that those procedures are not applicable (having regard to
the nature of the default or failure to perform in question) take such action as would a prudent
creditor operating a business of the manufacture and sale of automotive interiors products in
respect of such default or failure to perform. In applying such policies or taking such action in
relation to any particular Obligor who is in default, each Servicer may exercise such discretion to
deviate therefrom as would be exercised by a reasonably prudent creditor operating a business of
the manufacture and sale of automotive interiors products but subject to believing on reasonable
grounds that to do so will enhance recovery prospects or minimise loss.
17. Records and Information and Reviews
Maintenance of Records
17.1 Each Seller, VEC and each Servicer shall at its expense and at all times maintain, implement
and keep accounting, management and administrative information systems, procedures and records
which are adequate to generate accurate,
Page 37
complete and reliable statistical information regarding the portfolio of Purchased Receivables.
These records and systems shall include an ability to recreate records in the event of their
destruction. The information and records shall be adequate to permit the identification on each
Purchase Date of each newly Purchased Receivable and the daily identification of the aggregate of
all collections of, and any losses in relation to, the Purchased Receivables in each Agreed
