The pro-rated annual incentive shall be payable in a single lump sum at the same time that payments are made to other participants in the annual incentive plan for that fiscal year (upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the annual incentive plan but in no event later than two and one-half months after the fiscal year during which the Termination Date occurs).

Section 4.03. Lesser Enhanced Severance Benefit for Executives with Still Effective Previous Agreements.

For any Executive who is a party to a Change in Control Agreement with the Company that was entered into before October 29, 2012 and has not been replaced by a Change in Control Agreement with an effective date of October 29, 2012 or later, in any case in which the Plan Administrator has authorized the payment of severance benefits and the Executive provides a Release and an Acknowledgement, in each case in a form acceptable to the Company, then in lieu of the Basic Severance Benefit described in Section 4.01 the Executive shall receive an Enhanced Severance Benefit in an amount equal to one year of Base Salary, which will be paid as a lump sum cash payment, after withholding of applicable income and payroll taxes and other authorized withholdings.

Section 4.05. Other Continued Benefits.

(a) An Executive who is eligible to receive Basic Severance Benefits or Enhanced Severance Benefits and who, on the Executive’s Termination Date, was covered under the group medical and/or dental programs is eligible to continue such group medical and/or dental coverage in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”). If the Executive elects to continue medical and dental coverage in accordance with COBRA and the Executive is entitled to an Enhanced Severance Benefit under Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, the Company will either pay directly, or reimburse the Executive for, the entire COBRA premium contribution for 18 months, which premiums will be included in the Executive’s income for tax purposes to the extent required by applicable law. The Company may withhold from any such direct payment or reimbursement an amount sufficient to cover the amount of required withholding. Direct payments or reimbursement by the Company of COBRA premium contributions will cease after 18 months or when the Executive becomes covered under another plan, whichever is earlier. Company payments of COBRA premium contributions otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 4.05(a) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by or made available to the Executive by another employer during the 18 month period following the Executive’s Termination Date (and any such benefits received by or made available to the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive).

4

(b) The Company will provide professional career transition services to assist terminated Executives entitled to an Enhanced Severance Benefit in the preparation for and execution of their job search, which services may include career counseling, assessment of interests and skills, development of job search tools such as resumes and cover letters, preparation of a job discovery strategy, and interview skills coaching. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, the amount expended by the Company with respect to career transition services pursuant to this Section 4.05(b) with respect to any one Executive will not exceed $50,000. Subject to that dollar limitation, the Company will pay for these services for twelve months or until the Executive becomes employed, whichever is earlier.

(c) An Executive’s outstanding awards under the Visteon Corporation 2004 Incentive Plan and the Visteon Corporation 2010 Incentive Plan shall be governed by the terms and conditions of each award or grant, and not by the terms of this Plan.

(d) An Executive who is eligible to receive retirement benefits under a retirement plan maintained by the Company or a subsidiary may apply for and commence retirement benefits in accordance with the terms of the applicable retirement plan. Retirement benefits are not governed by the terms of this Plan.

ARTICLE V. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

Section 5.01. Entitlement to Benefits.

An Executive becomes entitled to severance benefits under Article IV on the date that the Executive has satisfied all of the requirements for receiving a severance benefit (including, if applicable, the Executive’s execution of a Release and an Acknowledgement within 60 days after the Termination Date and the expiration of any revocation period that is provided in accordance with applicable law or such policies as may from time to time be adopted by the Plan Administrator). All payments shall be subject to income tax withholding and other appropriate deductions.

Section 5.02. Payment of Benefits.

Cash benefits under the Plan are intended to be separate payments that constitute “short-term deferrals” that are exempt from the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Accordingly, payment of the Basic Severance Benefit under Section 4.01 and the Enhanced Severance Benefit under Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, to the extent applicable to the Executive, shall be completed by the later of (i) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the Executive becomes entitled to benefits under the Plan, or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s first taxable year in which the Executive becomes entitled to benefits under the Plan. The medical, dental and career transition benefits to which the Executive may become entitled under Section 4.04 are also intended to be exempt from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, and the Plan Administrator (or its delegate) shall administer the Plan consistent with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the requirements for exemption of such benefits. The Plan Administrator may adopt additional rules and restrictions with respect to such benefits if the Plan Administrator determines that such rules and restrictions are necessary or appropriate in order to qualify (or continue to qualify) for exemption from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

5

To the extent that the Executive’s right to receive payments or benefits under this Plan constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, any payment that, but for this sentence, would be payable before the date that is the first day of the seventh month following the month in which occurs the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A the payment shall be made on that date and not on the earlier date otherwise provided for in this Plan.

ARTICLE VI. CLAIMS PROCEDURE

Section 6.01. Claims Procedure.

(a) Claim for Benefits. Any Executive who believes he or she is entitled to benefits under the Plan in an amount greater than the amount received may file, or have his or her duly authorized representative file, a claim with the Plan Administrator. Any such claim shall be filed in writing stating the nature of the claim, and the facts supporting the claim, the amount claimed and the name and address of the claimant. The Plan Administrator shall consider the claim and answer in writing stating whether the claim is granted or denied. The written decision shall be within 90 days of receipt of the claim by the Plan Administrator (or 180 days if additional time is needed and the claimant is notified of the extension, the reason therefor and the expected date of determination prior to commencement of the extension). If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Executive shall be furnished with a written notice of such denial containing (i) the specific reasons for the denial, (ii) a specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) an explanation of the Plan’s appeal procedures set forth in subsection (b) below, (iv) a description of any additional material or information which is necessary for the claimant to submit or perfect an appeal of his or her claim and (v) an explanation of the Executive’s right to bring suit under ERISA following an adverse determination upon appeal.

(b) Appeal. If an Executive wishes to appeal the denial of his or her claim, the Executive or his or her duly authorized representative shall file a written notice of appeal to the Plan Administrator within 90 days of receiving notice of the claim denial. In order that the Plan Administrator may expeditiously decide such appeal, the written notice of appeal should contain (i) a statement of the ground(s) for the appeal, (ii) a specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the appeal is based, (iii) a statement of the arguments and authority (if any) supporting each ground for appeal, and (iv) any other pertinent documents or comments which the appellant desires to submit in support of the appeal. The Plan Administrator shall decide the appellant’s appeal within 60 days of its receipt of the appeal (or 120 days if additional time is needed and the claimant is notified of the extension, the reason therefore and the expected date of determination prior to commencement of the extension). The Plan Administrator’s written decision shall contain the reasons for the decision and reference to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based. If the claim is denied in whole or in part, such written decision shall also include notification of the Executive’s right to bring suit for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA and the claimant’s right to obtain, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records or other information relevant to the claim for benefits.

Section 6.02. Standard of Review.

The Plan Administrator is vested with the discretionary authority and control to determine eligibility for coverage and benefits and to construe the terms of the Plan; any such determination or construction shall be final and binding on all parties unless arbitrary or capricious. To the extent that the Plan Administrator has appointed a delegate or delegates to administer the claims procedure, any such determination or construction of the delegate shall be final and binding on all parties to the same extent as if made by the Plan Administrator.

Section 6.03. Delegation to the Senior Vice President, Human Resources.
