APPENDIX D Trade/Critical Vendor Agreement
TO: [Vendor]

[Address]
Dear Valued Supplier:
As you are no doubt aware, Lear Corporation and certain of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United Stated Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Case" and the Bankruptcy Court," respectively) on July 7, 2009 (the "Petition Date").
