          “Additional Plants” means Visteon’s Saline, Sandusky, Sheldon Road and Utica plants.

          “Approved Capital Expenditure” means the following Capital Expenditures:

  a.   Capital Expenditures for Equipment listed on Exhibit A, each of which represents a Capital Expenditure that was committed by Visteon before January 1, 2005 for the Plants where less than one-half of the full amount of the Project was fully paid as of January 1, 2005; and
 
  b.   Capital Expenditures for Equipment listed on Exhibit A-1, each of which represents a Capital Expenditure that was committed by Visteon before May 1, 2005 for the Additional Plants where less than one-half of the full amount of the Project was fully paid as of May 1, 2005; and

  a.   They will be used primarily for the manufacture of Components, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Ford; and

c.       Section 2.3 of the Agreement is hereby modified as follows:

2.3       Visteon shall complete all spending for Capital Expenditures for Projects at any Plant where one-half or more of the full amount of the Project was paid as of January 1, 2005.
