SECTION 7. Amendment to Section 15 [Events of Default]. Section 15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection (f) thereof in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following: (f) This Agreement, any of the Security Documents or any Note shall cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect, or the U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party shall so assert, or any security interest created by any of the Security Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby, except, in each case, as provided in subsection 17.17; or SECTION 8. Amendment to Subsection 17.17 [Release of Guarantees]. Subsection 17.17 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Subsection in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following: 17.17 Release of Collateral and Guarantees. (a) The Lenders hereby agree with the U.S. Borrower, and hereby instruct the General Administrative Agent, that if (i) the U.S. Borrower attains Investment Grade Status, (ii) the General Administrative Agent has no actual knowledge of the existence of a Default and (iii) the U.S. Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such Responsible Officer has obtained no knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, (x) the General Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the U.S. Borrower, take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower to release its security interest in all collateral held by it pursuant to the Security Documents and (y) on and after such time, the written consent of the Super-Majority Lenders shall be required to release all or substantially all of the guarantees contained in Section 14 and under the Subsidiary Guarantee, in which case the General Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the U.S. Borrower, take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower to release the relevant Loan Parties from their obligations under the Subsidiary 6 Guarantee. In either such event, the applicable provisions of subsection 12.7 shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect. (b) The Lenders hereby agree with the U.S. Borrower, and hereby instruct the General Administrative Agent, that if one or more Loan Parties (or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party whose Capital Stock is pledged pursuant to any Pledge Agreement) are permitted to be released from their obligations under any of the Security Documents pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement approved in accordance with subsection 17.1, the General Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the U.S. Borrower, take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower to release its security interest in the relevant collateral held by it pursuant to the Security Documents and/or to release such Loan Parties from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee. In such event, the provisions of subsection 12.7 with respect to such Loan Parties shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time Lear Corporation Mexico, S.A. de C.V. or Lear Automotive (EEDS) Spain S.L. is released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee but shall still have its Capital Stock pledged pursuant to the relevant Pledge Agreement, the Lenders authorize the General Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the U.S. Borrower, to take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower to release Capital Stock of any such Foreign Subsidiary to the extent necessary to ensure that no Capital Stock of any such Foreign Subsidiary is pledged under the relevant Pledge Agreement. Furthermore, it is hereby understood and agreed that if any time (i) any of Lear Germany's Capital Stock has been pledged pursuant to any Pledge Agreement pursuant to subsection 12.7(b) and (ii) thereafter, Lear Germany becomes a direct or indirect Subsidiary of European Holdco, then the Capital Stock of Lear Germany shall be deemed to be automatically released from such Pledge Agreement, and the Lenders authorize the General Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the U.S. Borrower, to take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower to release the Capital Stock of Lear Germany from such Pledge Agreement. (c) The Lenders hereby agree with the U.S. Borrower, and hereby instruct the General Administrative Agent, that if the U.S. Borrower shall have delivered to the General Administrative Agent written notice that it proposes to sell or otherwise dispose of any Subsidiary whose stock is pledged pursuant to a Pledge Agreement or which is a Subsidiary Guarantor, and such disposition is permitted by this Agreement, the General Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the U.S. Borrower, take such actions as shall be reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower to release its security interest in the stock being sold of such Subsidiary and to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee; provided, that such Subsidiary shall have been, or shall simultaneously be, released from all Bond Guarantees and all guarantees by any Subsidiary of Public Indebtedness. (d) In connection with any release of guarantees in accordance with this subsection 17.17, upon the request of the U.S. Borrower, the General Administrative Agent shall take whatever reasonable steps are necessary to coordinate the simultaneous release of the guarantees hereunder with the Bond Guarantees. SECTION 9. Acknowledgment. Each of the Lenders consenting to this Amendment acknowledges that the U.S. Borrower intends to enter into a term loan facility either (i) as a separate tranche under the Credit Agreement through an amendment and restatement to the Credit Agreement or (ii) as a separate credit facility to the extent not prohibited under the Credit Agreement, in either case with an expected aggregate principal amount ranging from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 and with an expected maturity of eighteen months (the "Term Loan Facility"). Each such Lender consents to the Term Loan Facility, the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement to incorporate the Term 7 Loan Facility (in the event that the Term Loan Facility is made available pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and the guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors of, and granting of liens on stock pledges under, the Term Loan Facility (which shall be pari passu with the stock pledges securing the Credit Agreement), and each Lender authorizes (in the event that the Term Loan Facility is entered into separately from the Credit Agreement) the General Administrative Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement with the agent under such Term Loan Facility on market terms as long as, in all cases (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility does not exceed $400,000,000, (ii) the Term Loan Facility is not subject to any mandatory prepayments (other than scheduled payments and payments arising as a result of an acceleration of the loans thereunder) and (iii) the terms of the Term Loan Facility will be substantially those set forth in the Credit Agreement or market terms as are reasonably determined by the Borrower to be necessary to obtain the Term Loan Facility. SECTION 10. Schedules to the Credit Agreement. The parties hereto hereby agree that Schedule VII attached hereto shall be deemed to be Schedule VII to the Credit Agreement. SECTION 11.

Each of the representations and warranties made by each of the Loan Parties in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made as of the date hereof, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided, that each reference to the Credit Agreement therein shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment. SECTION 13. Effect on the Loan Documents. (a) Except as specifically amended above, the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. 8 (b) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the General Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. SECTION 14. Expenses. The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the General Administrative Agent for all of its out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this Amendment, any other documents prepared in connection herewith and the transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the General Administrative Agent. SECTION 15. Affirmation of Subsidiary Guarantee and Credit Agreement.
