 Exhibit 10.1 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of September 12, 2012, between Lear Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Frank C. Orsini (“Executive”). 

WHEREAS, the Company has employed Executive in various senior officer positions, most recently as Vice President and Interim President,
Electrical Power Management Systems of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Executive has been appointed to the position of Senior Vice
President and President, Electrical Power Management Systems of the Company, effective September 12, 2012 (the “Effective Date”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are currently parties to an existing employment agreement, dated June 30, 2009 (the “Existing Agreement”), which will expire by its terms upon the
effectiveness of this Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to have the benefit of Executive’s continued service and
the restrictive covenants contained herein; and 
 WHEREAS, in recognition of Executive’s promotion to the position of
Senior Vice President and President, Electrical Power Management Systems of the Company, the parties desire to enter into a new employment agreement reflecting the terms of Executive’s continuing employment. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Term of
Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on and as of the Effective Date and continue until Executive’s employment has terminated and the obligations of the parties hereunder have terminated or expired or have been satisfied in accordance
with their terms, or if earlier, upon the execution of a new employment agreement by the parties hereto (the “Term”). The Existing Agreement shall hereby terminate as of the Effective Date, and the terms of this Agreement thereupon
shall supersede the terms of the Existing Agreement in their entirety. 
 2. Terms of Employment. During the Term, Executive agrees to be
a full-time employee of the Company serving in the position of Senior Vice President and President, Electrical Power Management Systems of the Company. Executive agrees to devote substantially all of his working time and attention to the business
and affairs of the Company, to discharge the responsibilities associated with his position with the Company, and to use his best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from
devoting his time to civic and community activities, serving as a member of the Board of 

 
Directors of other corporations that do not compete with the Company, or managing personal investments, as long as the foregoing do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties
hereunder or violate the terms of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, or other policies applicable to the Company’s executives generally, as those policies may be amended
from time to time by the Company. 
 3. Compensation. 
 (a) As compensation for Executive’s services under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled during the Term to receive an initial base salary the annualized amount of which shall be $550,000, to
be paid in accordance with existing payroll practices for executives of the Company. Increases in Executive’s base salary, if any, shall be as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”). In addition, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual incentive compensation bonus (“Bonus”) and awards under the Company’s Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan or successor plan (the
“LTSIP”), each to be approved from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board. 
 (b) During the
Term, Executive shall be eligible for participation in the welfare, retirement, and other benefit plans, practices, policies and programs, as may be in effect from time to time, for senior executives of the Company generally. 

(c) During the Term, Executive shall be eligible for prompt reimbursement for business expenses reasonably incurred by Executive in
accordance with the Company’s policies, as may be in effect from time to time, for its senior executives generally. 
 4. Termination of
Employment. 
 (a) Notice. The employment relationship may be terminated by the Company with or without Cause or for
Incapacity, or by Executive with or without Good Reason, all as defined below, by giving a Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon, if any, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. All notices under this
Section 4(a) shall be given in accordance with the requirements of Section 8. 
 (b) Incapacity. If the Company
reasonably determines that Executive is unable at any time to perform the duties of Executive’s position because of a serious illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition and Executive is not eligible for or has exhausted all
leave to which Executive may be entitled under the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) or, if more generous, other applicable state or local law, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment for “Incapacity”. In
addition, at any time that Executive is on a leave of absence, the Company may temporarily reassign the 

  
 2 

 
duties of Executive’s position to one or more other executives without creating a basis for Executive’s Good Reason resignation, provided that the Company restores such duties to
Executive upon Executive’s return to work. 
 (c) Cause. Termination of Executive’s employment for
“Cause” shall mean termination upon: 
 (i) an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft by Executive in connection with
Executive’s duties or in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company; 
 (ii) Executive’s material
breach of any provision of this Agreement, provided that in those instances in which Executive’s material breach is capable of being cured, Executive has failed to cure within a thirty (30) day period after notice from the Company;

 (iii) an act or omission, which is (x) willful or grossly negligent, (y) contrary to established policies or
practices of the Company, and (z) materially harmful to the business or reputation of the Company, or to the business of the Company’s customers or suppliers as such relate to the Company; or 

(iv) a plea of nolo contendere to, or conviction for, a felony. 

(d) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following
circumstances or events: 
 (i) any reduction by the Company in Executive’s base salary or adverse change in the manner of
computing Executive’s incentive compensation opportunity, as in effect from time to time; 
 (ii) the failure by the Company
to pay or provide to Executive any amounts of base salary or earned incentive compensation or any benefits which are due, owing and payable to Executive, or to pay to Executive any portion of an installment of deferred compensation due under any
deferred compensation program of the Company; 
 (iii) the failure by the Company to continue to provide Executive with
benefits substantially similar in the aggregate to the Company’s life insurance, medical, dental, health, accident or disability plans in which Executive is participating at the date of this Agreement; 

(iv) except on a temporary basis as described in Section 4(b), a material adverse change in Executive’s responsibilities,
position, reporting relationships, authority or duties. For purposes of clarification, Executive agrees that it will not be a material adverse change for the Company to reassign Executive to a position with at least substantially similar
responsibilities and authority; 

  
 3 

 (v) the transfer of Executive’s principal place of employment to a location fifty
(50) or more miles from its location immediately preceding the transfer; or 
 (vi) without limiting the generality or
effect of the foregoing, any material breach of this Agreement by the Company. 
 Notwithstanding anything else herein, Good
Reason shall not exist if, with regard to the circumstances or events relied upon in Executive’s Notice of Termination: (x) Executive failed to provide a Notice of Termination to the Company within sixty (60) days of the date
Executive knew or should have known of such circumstances or events, (y) the circumstances or events are fully corrected by the Company prior to the Date of Termination, or (z) Executive gives Executive’s express written consent to
the circumstances or events. 
 (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean: 

(i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death, the date of Executive’s death; 

(ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than because of Executive’s death, the date
specified in the Notice of Termination (which shall not be prior to the date of the notice); 
 (iii) if Executive’s
employment is terminated by Executive for any reason, the Date of Termination shall be not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given, or such earlier date after the date such
Notice of Termination is given as may be identified by the Company. 
 Unless the Company instructs Executive not to do so,
Executive shall continue to perform services as provided in this Agreement through the Date of Termination. 
 (f) Employee
Benefits. A termination by the Company pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof or by Executive pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall not affect any rights which Executive may have pursuant to any other agreement, policy, plan, program or
arrangement of the Company providing employee benefits, which rights shall be governed by the terms thereof and by Section 5; provided, however, that if Executive shall have received or shall be receiving benefits under Section 5(b)
hereof, Executive shall not be entitled to receive benefits under any other policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Company providing severance compensation to which Executive would otherwise be entitled. 

  
 4 

 5. Compensation Upon Termination. Upon Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall
receive: 
 (a) If Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company for Incapacity or for Cause, by Executive
without Good Reason, or upon Executive’s death, the Company shall pay to Executive (or, in the event of Executive’s death, to Executive’s beneficiary or estate), when the same would otherwise have been due, the base salary and any
other accrued amounts then payable through the Date of Termination and shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, other than as set forth in Section 5(c) hereof, as applicable. 

(b) If Executive’s employment shall be terminated (a) by the Company, except for a termination by the Company for Cause or
Incapacity (or due to Executive’s death), or (b) by Executive for Good Reason, then Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided below, in addition to the benefits provided in Section 5(c) hereof, as applicable: 

(i) The Company shall pay Executive Executive’s full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time
Notice of Termination is given (or, if greater, at the rate in effect at any time within 90 days prior to the time Notice of Termination is given), plus all other amounts to which Executive is entitled under any compensation or benefit plans of the
Company, including, without limitation, any accrued amounts under any retention or incentive plan, and including incentive compensation prorated for any applicable measurement period occurring prior to the Date of Termination, at the time such
payments are due, except as otherwise provided below. 
 (ii) an amount (the “Severance Payment”) equal to two
(2) times the sum of: 
 (A) the greater of (I) Executive’s annual base salary rate in effect as of the Effective
Date or (II) Executive’s annual base salary rate in effect as of the Date of Termination; and 
 (B) the greater of
(I) Executive’s annual incentive Bonus target amount in effect as of the Effective Date or (II) Executive’s annual incentive Bonus target amount in effect as of the Date of Termination. 

The Severance Payment will be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination. 

(iii) The Company shall arrange to provide to Executive, Executive’s dependents, and beneficiaries, for the Severance Period,
benefits provided under any “welfare benefit plan” of the Company (as the term “welfare benefit plan” is defined in Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,

  
 5 

 
as amended) (“Welfare Benefits”). If and to the extent that any such Welfare Benefits shall not or cannot be paid or provided under any policy, plan, program or arrangement of
the Company (A) solely due to the fact that Executive is no longer an officer or employee of the Company or (B) as a result of the amendment or termination of any plan providing for Welfare Benefits, the Company shall then itself pay or
provide for the payment of such Welfare Benefits to Executive, Executive’s dependents and beneficiaries. Without otherwise limiting the purposes or effect of the no mitigation obligation in Section 5(f) hereof, Welfare Benefits payable to
Executive (including Executive’s dependents and beneficiaries) pursuant to this Section 5(b)(iii) shall be reduced to the extent comparable welfare benefits are actually received by Executive (including Executive’s dependents and
beneficiaries) from another employer during such period, and any such benefits actually received by Executive shall be reported by Executive to the Company. 
 Executive’s right to receive the Severance Payment and Welfare Benefits under this Section 5(b) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) is conditioned upon the Executive’s
execution of a general release agreement (a “Release”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection with Executive’s termination of employment. Such Severance Benefits shall be payable only if
Executive executes and delivers a Release (and any revocation period expires) no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the Executive’s termination of employment. Such amounts shall not become payable until forty-five
(45) calendar days after the termination of employment, regardless of when the Release is returned to the Company. 
 (c) If
Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company for Incapacity or for any reason other than Cause, by Executive for Good Reason, or upon Executive’s death, (i) any unvested awards under the LTSIP held by Executive that vest
based on the passage of time shall immediately vest in their entirety upon such termination, and (ii) with respect to unvested awards under the LTSIP held by Executive that vest based on the achievement of performance criteria, Executive shall
be entitled to receive a pro rata portion (based on the number of full calendar months in the performance period prior to such termination) of the amount Executive would have been entitled to receive under such awards (and at the same time) had he
remained employed until the last day of the applicable performance period. 
 (d) The Company may not set-off or counterclaim
losses, fines or damages in respect of any claim, debt or obligation against any payment to or benefit for Executive provided for in this Agreement. 
 (e) Without limiting Executive’s rights at law or in equity, if the Company fails to make any payment or provide any benefit required to be made or provided hereunder within thirty (30) days of
the date it is due, the Company will pay interest on the amount or value thereof at an annualized rate of interest equal to the “prime rate” as quoted from 

  
 6 

 
time to time during the relevant period in The Wall Street Journal, plus three percent. Such interest will be payable as it accrues on demand. Any change in such prime rate will be effective on
and as of the date of such change. 
 (f) The Company acknowledges that its severance pay plans and policies applicable in
general to its salaried employees do not provide for mitigation, offset or reduction of any severance payment received thereunder. Accordingly, the parties hereto expressly agree that the payment of the severance compensation by the Company to
Executive in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be liquidated damages and that Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall
any profits, income, earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other obligation on the part of Executive hereunder or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Section 5.

 6. Travel. Executive shall be required to travel to the extent reasonably necessary for the performance of Executive’s
responsibilities under this Agreement. 
 7. Successors; Binding Agreement. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business and/or assets of the Company, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place, and will assign its rights and obligations hereunder to such successor. Failure of the Company to make such an assignment and to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the
effectiveness of any such succession, unless Executive agrees otherwise in writing with the Company or the successor, shall entitle Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as Executive would be entitled to
hereunder if Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason and the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed Executive’s Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean
the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and/or legatees. This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign,
transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in this Section 7. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be
assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Executive’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer
contrary to this Section 7, the Company shall have no liability to pay to the purported assignee or transferee any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred. The Company and Executive recognize that each party will have no adequate
remedy at law for any material breach by the other of any of the agreements contained herein and, in the event of any such breach, the Company and Executive hereby agree and consent that the other shall be entitled to a decree of specific
performance, mandamus or other appropriate remedy to enforce performance of this Agreement. 

  
 7 

 8. Notices. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in
this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, or mailed by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or sent by Federal Express or similar overnight courier
service, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, or sent by facsimile with confirmation of receipt to the respective facsimile numbers set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, provided that
all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Secretary of the Company (or, if Executive is the Secretary at the time such notice is to be given, to the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors), or to such other
address or facsimile number as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address or facsimile number shall be effective only upon receipt. 

9. Noncompetition. 
 (a)
From the Effective Date until the Date of Termination, Executive agrees not to engage in any Competitive Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competitive Activity” shall mean Executive’s participation as an employee or
consultant, without the written consent of the Board or any authorized committee thereof, in the management of any business enterprise anywhere in the world if such enterprise is a “Significant Customer” of any product or service of the
Company or engages in competition with any product or service of the Company (including without limitation any enterprise that is a supplier to an original equipment automotive vehicle manufacturer) or is planning to engage in such competition. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Significant Customer” shall mean any customer who represents in excess of 5% of the Company’s sales in any of the three calendar years prior to the date of determination. “Competitive
Activity” shall not include the mere ownership of, and exercise of rights appurtenant to, securities of a publicly-traded company representing 5% or less of the total voting power and 5% or less of the total value of such an enterprise.
Executive agrees that the Company is a global business and that it is appropriate for this Section 9 to apply to Competitive Activity conducted anywhere in the world. 
 (b) Executive agrees not to engage directly or indirectly in any Competitive Activity (i) until one (1) year after the Date of Termination if Executive is terminated by the Company for Cause, or
Executive terminates Executive’s employment for other than Good Reason, or (ii) until two (2) years after the Date of Termination in all other circumstances. 
 (c) Executive shall not directly or indirectly, either on Executive’s own account or with or for anyone else, solicit or attempt to solicit any of the Company’s customers, solicit or attempt to
solicit for any business endeavor or hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company, or otherwise divert or attempt to divert from the Company 

  
 8 

 
any business whatsoever or interfere with any business relationship between the Company and any other person, (i) until one (1) year after the Date of Termination if Executive is
terminated by the Company for Cause, or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for other than Good Reason, or (ii) until two (2) years after the Date of Termination in all other circumstances. 

(d) Executive acknowledges and agrees that damages in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants in this Section 9
will be difficult to determine and will not afford a full and adequate remedy, and therefore agree that the Company, in addition to seeking actual damages pursuant to Section 9 hereof, may seek specific enforcement of the covenant not to
compete in any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, by the issuance of a temporary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of a bond. Executive and the Company agree that the provisions of this covenant not to
compete are reasonable. However, should any court or arbitrator determine that any provision of this covenant not to compete is unreasonable, either in period of time, geographical area, or otherwise, the parties agree that this covenant not to
compete should be interpreted and enforced to the maximum extent which such court or arbitrator deems reasonable. 
 10. Confidentiality and
Cooperation. 
 (a) Executive shall not knowingly use, disclose or reveal to any unauthorized person, at any time after the
Effective Date, any trade secret or other confidential information relating to the Company or any of its affiliates, or any of their respective businesses or principals, such as, without limitation, dealers’ or distributor’s lists,
information regarding personnel and manufacturing processes, marketing and sales plans, pricing or cost information, and all other such information; and Executive confirms that such information is the exclusive property of the Company and its
affiliates. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, Executive agrees to return to the Company on demand by the Company all memoranda, books, papers, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the
business of the Company and its affiliates, whether made by Executive or otherwise in Executive’s possession. 
 (b) Any
design, engineering methods, techniques, discoveries, inventions (whether patentable or not), formulae, formulations, technical and product specifications, bill of materials, equipment descriptions, plans, layouts, drawings, computer programs,
assembly, quality control, installation and operating procedures, operating manuals, strategic, technical or marketing information, designs, data, secret knowledge, know-how and all other information of a confidential nature prepared or produced
during the period of Executive’s employment and which ideas, processes, and other materials or information relate to any of the businesses of the Company, shall be owned by the Company and its affiliates whether or not Executive should in fact
execute an assignment thereof or other instrument or document which may be reasonably necessary to protect and secure such rights to the Company. 

  
 9 

 (c) Following the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive agrees to make
himself reasonably available to the Company to respond to periodic requests for information relating to the Company or Executive’s employment which may be within Executive’s knowledge. Executive further agrees to cooperate fully with the
Company in connection with any and all existing or future depositions, litigation, or investigations brought by or against the Company, any entity related to the Company, or any of its (their) agents, officers, directors or employees, whether
administrative, civil or criminal in nature, in which and to the extent the Company deems Executive’s cooperation necessary. In the event that Executive is subpoenaed in connection with any litigation or investigation, Executive will
immediately notify the Company. Executive shall not receive any additional compensation, other than reimbursement for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Executive, in complying with the terms of this Section 10(c). 

11. Arbitration. 
 (a)
Except as contemplated by Section 9(d) or Section 11(c) hereof, any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement that cannot be mutually resolved by the parties to this Agreement and their respective advisors
and representatives shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Southfield, Michigan, before one arbitrator of exemplary qualifications and stature, who shall be selected jointly by an individual to be designated by the Company and an individual
to be selected by Executive, or if such two individuals cannot agree on the selection of the arbitrator, who shall be selected pursuant to the procedures of the American Arbitration Association, and such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance
with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. 
 (b) The parties agree to
use their best efforts to cause (i) the two individuals set forth in the preceding Section 11(a), or, if applicable, the American Arbitration Association, to appoint the arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date that a party
hereto notifies the other party that a dispute or controversy exists that necessitates the appointment of an arbitrator, and (ii) any arbitration hearing to be held within thirty (30) days of the date of selection of the arbitrator, and,
as a condition to his or her selection, such arbitrator must consent to be available for a hearing, at such time. 
 (c) Judgment
may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction, provided that Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of Executive’s right to be paid and to participate in benefit programs during the pendency of
any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. The Company and Executive hereby agree that the arbitrator shall be empowered to enter an equitable decree mandating specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.
If any dispute under this Section 11 shall be pending, Executive shall continue to receive at a minimum the base salary which Executive was receiving immediately prior to the act or omission which forms the basis for the dispute. At the close
of the arbitration, such 

  
 10 

 
continued base salary payments may be offset against any damages awarded to Executive or may be recovered from Executive if it is determined that Executive was not entitled to the continued
payment of base salary under the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 12. Modifications. No provision of this Agreement may be modified,
amended, waived or discharged unless such modification, amendment, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by both Executive and such officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by the Board. 

13. No Implied Waivers. Failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall in no way
affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter. Waiver by either party of a breach of any obligation hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same obligation. Failure of either party to
exercise any of its rights provided herein shall not constitute a waiver of such right. 
 14. Governing Law. The validity,
interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to any conflicts of laws rules. 
 15. Payments Net of Taxes. Any payments provided for herein which are subject to Federal, State, local or other governmental tax or other withholding requirements or obligations, shall have such
amounts withheld prior to payment, and the Company shall be considered to have fully satisfied its obligation hereunder by making such payments to Executive net of and after deduction for all applicable withholding obligations. 

16. Capacity of Parties. The parties hereto warrant that they have the capacity and authority to execute this Agreement. 

17. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not, at the option of the party for whose benefit such
provision was intended, affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 19. Entire Agreement. On and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall contain the entire agreement by the parties with respect to
the matters covered herein and supersedes any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, the Existing Agreement), condition, practice, custom, usage and obligation with respect to such matters insofar as any such prior agreement, condition,
practice, custom, usage or obligation might have given rise to any enforceable right. No agreements, understandings or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party
which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

  
 11 

 20. Legal Fees and Expenses. It is the intent of the Company that Executive not be required to incur
the expenses associated with the enforcement of Executive’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or other legal action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Executive
hereunder. Accordingly, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid and be solely responsible for any and all reasonable attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred by Executive (i) as a result of the Company’s failure to perform
this Agreement or any provision hereof or (ii) as a result of the Company unreasonably or maliciously contesting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof as aforesaid. 

21. Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5 hereof, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all payments of Severance Benefits to Executive under this Agreement are either exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the
Effective Date. For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. 
 The “Lear Corporation Code Section 409A Policies and Procedures” as in effect on the Effective Date are hereby incorporated by reference in this Agreement as if set forth herein, and shall
supersede any conflicting provisions of this Agreement. 
 22. No Excise Tax Gross-Up; Possible Reduction of Payments. 

(a) If it is determined that any amount or benefit to be paid or payable to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise in conjunction
with his employment (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in conjunction with his employment) would give rise to liability of Executive for the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, as amended from time to time, or any successor provision (the “Excise Tax”), then the amount or benefits payable to Executive (the total value of such amounts or benefits, the
“Payments”) shall be reduced by the Company to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Payments to Executive is subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, such reduction shall be made only if it results in the Executive
retaining a greater amount of Payments on an after-tax basis (taking into account the Excise Tax and applicable federal, state, and local income and payroll taxes). In the event Payments are required to be reduced pursuant to this
Section 22(a), they shall be reduced in the following order of priority in a manner consistent with Section 409A: (i) first from cash compensation, (ii) next from equity compensation, then (iii) pro-rata among all remaining
Payments and benefits. 

  
 12 

 (b) The independent public accounting firm serving as the Company’s auditing firm, or
such other accounting firm, law firm or professional consulting services provider of national reputation and experience reasonably acceptable to the Company and Executive (the “Accountants”) shall make in writing in good faith all
calculations and determinations under this Section 22, including the assumptions to be used in arriving at any calculations. For purposes of making the calculations and determinations under this Section 22, the Accountants and each other
party may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants and each other such information and documents as
the Accountants and each other may reasonably request to make the calculations and determinations under this Section 22. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants incur in connection with any calculations contemplated hereby.

amended or supplemented, does not include any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if

(g) For a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the 90th day after the date of the Offering Memorandum, the Company and the
Guarantors agree not to, directly or indirectly, (i) offer for sale, sell, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or would be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the

connection with the Exchange Offer. 
 (h) Upon request, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company and the

Securities Act.

except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure and; provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party
thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to employ
counsel to represent jointly the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the
Initial Purchasers against the Company or any Guarantor under this Section 8, if (i) the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the Company and the Guarantors have failed within a
reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers; (iii) the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded, based on
the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company and the Guarantors; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both the Initial Purchasers or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the Company and the Guarantors, on the other hand, and

  
 33 

 
representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would present a conflict due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of
such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company and the Guarantors. No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to
any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a
failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (y) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the
indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Notes, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, with
respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Notes purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds
from the offering of the Notes under this Agreement as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Guarantors, or the Initial Purchasers, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, the net proceeds deemed to be received by the Company shall be deemed to be also for the benefit of the Guarantors, and information supplied by the Company shall also be deemed
to have been supplied by the Guarantors. The Company, the Guarantors, and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if
the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account 

  
 34 

 
the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to
above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale to Eligible Purchasers of the Notes initially purchased by it
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute as provided in this
Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. 
 (e) The Initial Purchasers
severally confirm and the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the statements contained in the second sentence under the heading “Plan of Distribution—Rule 144A and Regulation S” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and
the Offering Memorandum are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Initial Purchasers furnished in writing to the Company or any Guarantor by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for inclusion in any Free Writing
Offering Document, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials. 

9. Defaulting Initial Purchasers. 
 (a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in its obligations to purchase the Notes that it has agreed to purchase under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers
may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Notes by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial
Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial
Purchasers to purchase such Notes on such terms. In the event that within the respective prescribed periods, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, or the Company notifies
the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes
that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any
amendment or supplement to the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context
requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Notes that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase. 

  
 35 

 (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh
of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such
Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Notes of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such
arrangements have not been made; provided that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to the
terms of Section 3. 
 (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Initial
Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal
amount of all the Notes, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the Guarantors, except that the Company and each of the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in
Sections 6 and 11 to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and except that the provisions of Section 8 shall not terminate and shall remain in effect. 
 (d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company, the Guarantors or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its
default. 
 10. Termination. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be terminated by the Initial
Purchasers by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Notes if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 7(h), (i), (l) or (q) shall have occurred or if the Initial Purchasers
shall decline to purchase the Notes for any other reason permitted under this Agreement. 
 11. Reimbursement of Initial
Purchasers’ Expenses. If (a) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Notes for delivery to the Initial Purchasers, or (b) the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this
Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers) incurred by the Initial
Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Notes, and upon demand the Company and the Guarantors shall pay the full amount thereof to the Initial Purchasers. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 9 by reason of the default of one or more Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Initial Purchaser on account of those expenses. 

  
 36 

 12. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be
in writing, and: 
 (a) if to any Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by hand delivery, mail, telex, overnight courier

any request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. 

(c) In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the
Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information
that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients. 
 13. Persons Entitled to Benefit
of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Company, the Guarantors and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of
only those persons, except that the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of the affiliates, directors, officers and employees
of the Initial Purchasers and each person or persons, if any, controlling any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than
the persons referred to in this Section 13, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. 
 14. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or
made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Notes and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by
or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them. 

  
 37 

 15. Definition of the Terms “Business Day”, “Affiliate”, and
“Subsidiary”. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “business day” means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading, and (b) “affiliate” and “subsidiary” have the
meanings set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. 
 16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 17. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and each of
the Initial Purchasers hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 18. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering, or
any other services the Initial Purchasers may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by
the Initial Purchasers: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company, any Guarantor and any other person, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, exists; (b) the Initial Purchasers are not acting as
advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Company or the Guarantors, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the purchase price of the Notes, and such relationship between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Initial Purchasers, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Initial Purchasers may have to the Company and the Guarantors shall be limited to those duties
and obligations specifically stated herein; (d) the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors; and (e) the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their
own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company and the Guarantors hereby waive any claims that the Company and the Guarantors may have against the Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty
in connection with the Notes.

 Pricing Supplement 

Pricing Supplement dated October 23, 2012 to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum dated October 22, 2012 of Halcón Resources Corporation.
This Pricing Supplement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. The information in this Pricing Supplement supplements the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and supersedes the information in the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum to the extent it is inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. Capitalized terms used in this Pricing Supplement but not defined have the meanings given them in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the tenth business day following the date of confirmation of orders
with respect to the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+10”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Commission under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the
parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the trade date or the following six trading days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+10, to
specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes before their delivery should consult their own advisor.

					
		
	 Optional Redemption
	  	On or after November 15, 2016, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
Notes redeemed during the twelve-month period indicated beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below:
