                                    FOREWORD

Effective as of January 1, 1997, Lear Corporation adopted the Lear Corporation
Executive Supplemental Savings Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of certain of
its key executives. Effective as of January 1, 2002, except as otherwise
provided, Lear Corporation has again amended and restated the Plan to reflect
permitted changes that may be made to deferred compensation elections.

The purposes of the Plan are (a) to permit certain key executives to elect to
defer payment of a portion of current compensation until a later year, and (b)
to provide participants and their beneficiaries under the Lear Corporation
Salaried Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan"), the Lear Corporation Salaried
Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") and the Lear Corporation Pension
Equalization Program (the "SERP") with the amount of retirement income that is
not provided under the Pension Plan, Savings Plan or SERP by reason of the
participant having elected to defer compensation under this Plan or under
Section 8.2 of the Lear Corporation Long Term Stock Incentive Plan.

It is intended that the Plan be an unfunded deferred compensation plan for "a
select group of management or highly compensated employees," as that term is
used in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

                       Participation and Deferral Election

2.1   Eligibility

      Participation in the Plan shall be limited to employees of the Corporation
      who are designated by the Senior Vice President of Human Resources of the
      Corporation and approved for participation in the Plan by the Benefits
      Committee. For purposes of participation as of January 1, 1997, this
      includes all Vice Presidents of the Corporation and its domestic
      subsidiaries, as well as all employees earning base pay of at least the
      "Base Salary Threshhold" as of November 15, 1996. As of November 15, 1996,
      the Base Salary Threshhold is $125,000.

      If first employed after November 15, 1996, an employee shall be eligible
      to participate as of the first of the month following one full calendar
      month of employment if he or she is a Vice President of the Corporation
      and its domestic subsidiaries, or his or her base salary as of date of
      employment is at least five sixths of the annual limit (as of such date of
      employment) under Code Section 401(a)(17), rounded to the nearest dollar,
      subject to approval of the Senior Vice President of Human Resources of the
      Corporation.

      For years beginning January 1, 2001 and thereafter, an employee shall be
      eligible to participate as of the first of the month following one full
      calendar month of employment if he or she is a Vice President of the
      Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries, or his or her base salary as of
      date of employment is at least five sixths of the annual limit (as of such
      date of employment) under Code Section 401(a)(17), rounded to the nearest
      dollar, subject to approval of the Senior Vice President of Human
      Resources of the Corporation. An employee will automatically be eligible
      to participate if he or she is designated as an Eligible Employee for the
      MSPP for the coinciding Plan Year, even if that person is not otherwise
      eligible for this Plan in accordance with this paragraph.

      As of each November 15, the Base Salary Threshhold shall be redetermined
      as five sixths of the annual limit (as of such November 15) under Code
      Section 401(a)(17), rounded to the nearest dollar. Employees who have
      never participated under the Plan but who are Vice Presidents of the
      Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries, or earning base pay of at least
      the "Base Salary Threshhold" shall be eligible to participate as of the
      following January 1.

      Employees who elect to participate in the Plan shall continue to be
      eligible to participate in the Plan in future years, notwithstanding their
      base salary as of a November 15 falling below the Base Salary Threshhold
      for employees who have never participated in the Plan.

2.2   Deferral Election

      Elections of Deferred Compensation shall be made only by Key Executives
      and shall be on forms furnished by the Benefits Committee. A Deferred
      Compensation election shall

                                       5
<PAGE>

      apply only to compensation (as defined below) for the particular year
      specified in the election. Key Executives shall specify the percentage of
      such compensation to be deferred under the election, which percentage may
      not exceed the maximum rate of Employee Tax-deferred Contributions
      permitted under the Savings Plan for the year. For purposes of the
      preceding sentence, the term "compensation" means base pay plus short-term
      incentive bonuses as paid prior to reduction for (a) his or her Deferred
      Compensation election under this Plan, (b) pre-tax contributions under the
      Savings Plan and (c) any pre-tax contributions toward health care under
      Code Section 125, which is in excess of Limited Compensation. "Limited
      Compensation" is the smaller of (A) the limit on pensionable compensation
      specified by Code Section 401(a)(17) (including adjustments for changes in
      the cost of living as prescribed by the Code), or (B) compensation earned
      prior to the time the employee reaches the limit on Employee Tax-deferred
      Contributions specified by Code Section 402(g) (including adjustments for
      changes in the cost of living as prescribed by the Code).

      Except as provided in the following paragraph, a Deferred Compensation
      election with respect to compensation for a particular calendar year (i)
      must be made before January 1 of such calendar year (or prior to
      participation in the Plan if the Key Executive becomes eligible to
      participate during the calendar year), (ii) must specify (from the
      available alternatives) the date such Deferred Compensation is to be paid
      (or commence to be paid) and, if such date is at termination of
      employment, the number of installments (not to exceed 10 years) in which
      such Deferred Compensation is to be paid, and (iii) once made, cannot be
      changed or revoked.

      Effective with elections with respect to deferrals of compensation for
      calendar years beginning with 2003, Key Executives may change their
      elections made in prior years with regard to the payment date and number
      of installments, under the following conditions:

      a.    such re-election shall be made on forms furnished by the Benefit
            Committee;

      b.    such re-election shall be made from the available alternate dates
            and forms in effect at the time of such re-election; and

      c.    such re-election shall only take effect if the Key Executive
            terminates employment on or after the second January 1 following
            such re-election, with the latest effective election or re-election
            on file determining the date and form of distribution if the Key
            Executive terminates employment prior to such second January 1
            following the re-election.

      In the case of an employee who is eligible under Section 2.1 as of one
      month following his or her date of employment, any Deferred Compensation
      election must be made within 30 days of employment, and it will apply to
      compensation earned from date of eligibility for the Savings Plan through
      the end of that calendar year.

                                       6

2.3   Deferral Suspension

      If a Key Executive makes a withdrawal of his or her 401(k) contributions
      under the Savings Plan and thereby becomes subject to a suspension of
      contributions under the Savings Plan, his or her Deferred Compensation
      under this Plan shall also be suspended for the same period required under
      the Savings Plan.

                                    Accounts

3.1   Deferred Account

      The aggregate of the amounts of Deferred Compensation and deemed earnings
      on such amounts shall be paid to the participant or his or her
      beneficiary, as applicable, from the general assets of the Corporation in
      accordance with this Plan and related election forms. Deemed earnings with
      respect to Deferred Compensation shall be credited monthly at the monthly
      compound equivalent of the Prime Rate plus 1% in effect at the beginning
      of each calendar quarter. Effective January 1, 1998, the interest rate
      will be credited at the Prime Rate in effect at the beginning of each
      calendar quarter. The Prime Rate shall be the prime rate as published in
      the Wall Street Journal Midwest edition showing such rate in effect as of
      the first business day of each calendar quarter. A bookkeeping account
      shall be maintained for each affected participant to record the amount of
      such Deferred Compensation and deemed earnings thereon. Participants are
      always 100 percent vested in their Deferred Accounts.

      The Plan Administrator may also maintain separate bookkeeping accounts for
      Deferred Compensation for each participant for each calendar year plus
      deemed earnings with respect to such Deferred Compensation, to facilitate
      calculation upon distribution.

3.2   Pension Make-up Amount

      A bookkeeping account shall be established on behalf of each participant
      in the Plan which, at any time, shall yield a benefit equal to the benefit
      as of such date that would have accrued under the Pension Plan and/or the
      SERP had the participant not elected to defer compensation under Section
      2.2 of this Plan and not elected to defer compensation under the MSPP.

      A participant shall be vested in his or her Pension Make-up Amount after
      three years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan).

3.3   Savings Make-up Account

      A bookkeeping account shall be established on behalf of each participant
      in the Plan, which shall be credited with the excess, if any, of (i) the
      amount of employer matching contributions which would have been made on
      behalf of a participant had the participant's Deferred Compensation been
      contributed to the Savings Plan (without regard to any refunds of
      participant contributions required under the Code, or the effects of Code
      Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) or 415), over (ii) actual employer matching
      contributions under the Savings Plan. The Savings Make-up Account shall be
      credited monthly with deemed investment earnings at the monthly compound
      equivalent of the Prime Rate plus 1% in effect at the beginning of each
      calendar quarter. Effective January 1, 1998, the interest rate will be
      credited at the Prime Rate in effect at the beginning of each calendar
      quarter. The Prime Rate shall be the prime rate as published in the Wall
      Street Journal

                                       8
<PAGE>

      Midwest edition showing such rate in effect as of the first business day
      of each calendar quarter. A participant is vested in his or her Savings
      Make-up Account after three years of Service (as defined in the Pension
      Plan).

3.4   MSPP Make-up Account

      A bookkeeping account shall be established on behalf of each participant
      in the Plan, which shall be credited with the excess, if any, of (i) the
      amount of employer matching contributions which would have been made on
      behalf of a participant had the participant's deferred compensation under
      the MSPP been contributed to the Savings Plan (without regard to any
      refunds of participant contributions required under the Code, or the
      effects of Code Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) or 415), up to, but not
      exceeding the rate at which the participant contributed to the Savings
      Plan for such year, over (ii) actual employer matching contributions under
      the Savings Plan. The MSPP Make-up Account shall be credited monthly with
      deemed investment earnings at the monthly compound equivalent of the Prime
      Rate plus 1% in effect at the beginning of each calendar quarter.
      Effective January 1, 1998, the interest rate will be credited at the Prime
      Rate in effect at the beginning of each calendar quarter. The Prime Rate
      shall be the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal Midwest
      edition showing such rate in effect as of the first business day of each
      calendar quarter. A participant is vested in his or her MSPP Makeup
      Account after three years of Service (as defined in the Pension Plan).

                               Payment of Benefits

4.1   Event of Payment

      The vested account balances of all of a participant's Accounts are payable
      as hereinafter provided. No withdrawals, including loans, may be allowed
      from the Plan for any reason while the participant is still employed by
      the Corporation; however, reemployment of a participant shall not suspend
      the payment of any benefits hereunder.

4.2   Payment of Deferred Account

      Payment of benefits from a participant's Deferred Account shall be made in
      accordance with deferred compensation agreements made at the time the
      participant elected to defer compensation. A separate deferred
      compensation agreement shall govern each year's Deferred Compensation and
      deemed earnings on such Deferred Compensation attributable to any year.
      The terms of these deferred compensation agreements dealing with the
      timing and form of payment may be changed from year to year by the
      Benefits Committee, but once an election is made by a participant as to
      the timing and form of a distribution from the Deferred Account with
      respect to a particular year, such election is irrevocable, except as
      provided in Section 2.2.

4.3   Payment of Savings Make-up Account

      Distributions from the Savings Make-up Account shall be made in the same
      form and at the same time as benefit payments made under the Savings Plan.

      Effective for terminations of employment on and after January 1, 2001,
      distributions from the Savings Make-up Account shall be made in the same
      form and at the same time as payments made in accordance with a
      participant's latest effective deferral election; however in no event
      shall payment of benefits in the form of a single lump sum be made prior
      to the January 1 following the date of the participant's termination of
      employment. A participant's latest deferral election becomes effective as
      of the January 1 following the date of such election, or such later date
      as may apply to newly-hired participants.

4.4   Payment of MSPP Make-up Account

      Distributions from the MSPP Make-up Account shall be made in the same form
      and at the same time as benefit payments made under the Savings Plan.

      Effective for terminations of employment on and after January 1, 2001,
      distributions from the MSPP Make-up Account shall be made in the same form
      and at the same time as payments made in accordance with a participant's
      latest effective deferral election; however in no event shall payment of
      benefits in the form of a single lump sum be made prior to the January 1
      following the date of the participant's termination of employment.

                                       10
<PAGE>

      A participant's latest deferral election becomes effective as of the
      January 1 following the date of such election, or such later date as may
      apply to newly-hired participants.

4.5   Payment of Pension Make-up Amount

      Except as provided in Section 4.6 below, distributions of the Pension
      Make-up Amount shall be made in the same form and at the same time as
      benefit payments made under the Pension Plan. To the extent a lump sum is
      payable from this Plan in accordance with this Section 4.5, the Actuarial
      Equivalence for such lump sum shall be determined in accordance with
      Exhibit A, item (c) of the Pension Plan.

4.6   Other Distributions of Pension Make-up Amount

      (a)   If the aggregate value of a participant's Pension Make-up Amount
            (determined in accordance with Actuarial Equivalence as determined
            under the Pension Plan) is less than $10,000, the participant or his
            or her beneficiary shall receive benefits under this Plan in the
            form of a single lump sum as soon as practicable after termination
            of employment, without regard to distribution elections made under
            the Pension Plan.

      (b)   Notwithstanding Section 4.5 or subparagraph (a) of this Section, if
            an active participant is eligible to elect and so elects, the
            participant may receive the present value (as hereinafter defined)
            of the Pension Make-up Amount paid in a lump sum upon termination of
            employment.

            (i)   Such election shall not be effective if termination of
                  employment occurs before the end of the first full calendar
                  year beginning after the election is made, except if
                  termination occurs by reason of death.

            (ii)  Eligibility to elect this form of benefit shall be limited to
                  employees who will be at least age 62 and have 10 years of
                  Service (as defined in the Pension Plan) when benefits are to
                  be paid, and (A) if the employee is restricted in stock
                  ownership trades under Section 16b of the Security Exchange
                  Commission Regulations, have approval of the Compensation
                  Committee of the Board of Directors, or (B) if the employee is
                  not restricted in stock ownership trades under Section 16b of
                  the Security Exchange Commission Regulations, have approval of
                  the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

            (iii) Present value shall mean the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent as
                  defined under Exhibit A, item (c) of the Pension Plan.

            (iv)  The benefit calculation shall be made based on the immediate

                  Pension Plan.

                                       11
<PAGE>

            (v)   If a participant becomes disabled, as defined in the Pension
                  Plan, termination of employment shall be deemed to occur upon
                  cessation of benefit accruals under the Pension Plan.

      (c)   Notwithstanding Section 4.5 or subparagraph (a) of this Section, if
            an active participant is eligible to elect and so elects, the
            participant may receive the Pension Make-up Amount paid in a series
            of annual installments, as elected by the participant and not to
            exceed 20 years, commencing as of the first of the month coincident
            with or next following termination of employment and payable as of
            each anniversary thereafter.

            (i)   Such election shall not be effective if termination of
                  employment occurs before the end of the first full calendar
                  year beginning after the election is made, except if
                  termination occurs by reason of death.

            (ii)  Eligibility to elect this form of benefit shall be limited to
                  employees who will be at least age 62 and have 10 years of
                  Service (as defined in the Pension Plan) when benefits are to
                  be paid, and (A) if the employee is restricted in stock
                  ownership trades under Section 16b of the Security Exchange
                  Commission Regulations, have approval of the Compensation
                  Committee of the Board of Directors, or (B) if the employee is
                  not restricted in stock ownership trades under Section 16b of
                  the Security Exchange Commission Regulations, have approval of
                  the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

            (iii) The amount of each annual installment shall mean the Actuarial
                  Equivalent, using interest only, of the lump sum as defined
                  under subsection 4.6(b). The interest rate for purposes of
                  converting the lump sum into the level installments shall be
                  the interest rate used to determine the lump sum. Interest on
                  the unpaid portion shall be credited monthly with deemed
                  investment earnings at the monthly compound equivalent of the
                  Prime Rate plus 1% in effect at the beginning of each calendar
                  quarter. Effective January 1, 1998, the interest rate will be
                  credited at the Prime Rate in effect at the beginning of each
                  calendar quarter. The Prime Rate shall be the prime rate as
                  published in the Wall Street Journal Midwest edition showing
                  such rate in effect as of the first business day of each
                  calendar quarter. To the extent that the remaining unpaid
                  balance as of each anniversary date is different from the
                  scheduled amount based on the previous anniversary date
                  calculation, the annual installment for that year shall be
                  adjusted to reflect such difference.

            (iv)  If a participant becomes disabled, as defined in the Pension
                  Plan, termination of employment shall be deemed to occur upon
                  cessation of benefit accruals under the Pension Plan.

                                       12
<PAGE>

            (v)   If a participant in receipt of such annual installments dies,
                  the unpaid balance in the participant's account shall be paid
                  in a lump sum to the participant's beneficiary for purposes of
                  the Pension Make-up Amount.

4.7   Beneficiaries

      The participant's beneficiary under this Plan with respect to his or her
      participant Deferred Account shall be the person or persons designated as
      beneficiary by the participant by filing with the Benefits Committee a

      such Benefits Committee. In the event the participant does not make an
      effective designation of a beneficiary with respect to his or her
      participant deferred account, the participant's beneficiary with respect
      to his or her participant deferred account shall be the beneficiary of
      such participant's beneficiary under the Savings Plan.

      Make-up Amount which have not previously been paid shall continue to be
      paid directly by the Corporation but only to the same extent and for the
      same duration as that part of the payee's benefit from the Pension Plan,
      which is directly related to such Pension Make-up Amount, is continued to
      be provided by the assets of the Pension Plan.

      In the event that the Savings Plan is terminated, Savings Make-up Accounts
      and MSPP Make-up Accounts shall be paid directly by the Corporation in the

                                  SECTION FIVE

                      Administration and General Provisions

5.1   Plan Administrator

      The Benefits Committee shall be the "administrator" of the Plan within the
      meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
      amended.

5.2   Benefits Committee

      The Benefits Committee shall be vested with the general administration of
      the Plan. The Benefits Committee shall have the exclusive right to
      interpret the Plan provisions and to exercise discretion where necessary
      or appropriate in the interpretation and administration of the Plan and to
      decide any and all matters arising thereunder or in connection with the
      administration of the Plan. The decisions, actions and records of the
      Benefits Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon the Corporation
      and all persons having or claiming to have any right or interest in or
      under the Plan.

      The Benefits Committee may delegate to such officers, employees or
      departments of the Corporation such authority, duties, and
      responsibilities of the Benefits Committee as it, in its sole discretion,
      considers necessary or appropriate for the proper and efficient operation
      of the Plan, including, without limitation, (i) interpretation of the

            funded plan for purposes of Code Section 404(a)(5), or Title I of
            the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or
            (ii) would cause the Plan to be other than an "unfunded and

            described in Treasury Regulations sections 1.677(a)(-l(d) and
            accumulate funds therein to pay amounts under the Plan, provided
            that the assets of the trust shall be required to satisfy the claims
            of the Corporation's general creditors in the event of the
            Corporation's bankruptcy or insolvency.

      (b)   In the event that the Corporation shall decide to establish an
            advance accrual reserve on its books against the future expense of
            the Plan, or to establish a grantor trust (which trust will conform
            to the terms of the model trust described in Rev. Proc. 92-64) with
            assets subject to the claims of creditors, such reserve or trust
            shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be an asset of this
            Plan but,

                                       14
<PAGE>

            at all times, shall remain a general asset of the Corporation,
            subject to the claims of the Corporation's creditors.

      (c)   A person entitled to any amount under this Plan shall be a general
            unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to such amount.

1.    PREAMBLE

      An investor group purchased Lear Siegler Seating Corporation on September
      30, 1988 from Lear Diversified Holdings Corporation. Lear Siegler Seating
      Corporation was subsequently renamed Lear Corporation. At the time of the
      purchase, certain highly paid employees of Lear Siegler Seating
      Corporation were covered by a nonqualified deferred compensation plan
      known as the Supplemental Pension Plan for Officers of Lear Siegler, Inc.

      Following this purchase, the board of directors of Lear Corporation voted
      not to continue the Supplemental Pension Plan For Officers Of Lear
      Siegler, Inc. as that plan applied to its employees. In accordance with
      section 6.2 of the Supplemental Pension Plan For Officers Of Lear Siegler,
      Inc., the board of directors voted to terminate that plan with respect to
      employees of Lear Corporation and its subsidiaries. As a result of this
      plan termination, the rights of all employees (with the sole exception of
      Kenneth Way) under that plan were completely extinguished.

      Effective January 1, 1995, Lear Corporation established the Lear
      Corporation Pension Equalization Program. This Plan is not a successor to
      the Supplemental Pension Plan For Officers Of Lear Siegler, Inc. The
      rights of employees under this Plan are determined without regard to that
      plan.

2.    PURPOSE OF PLAN

      The Qualified Pension Plan is designed to provide a certain level of
      retirement income for employees of Lear and any affiliated company
      participating in the Lear Corporation Pension Plan. However, the Qualified
      Pension Plan is subject to certain rules in the

                                      -1-

<PAGE>

      Internal Revenue Code that restrict the level of retirement income that
      can be provided to certain higher paid employees under that plan. The
      purpose of the Plan is to supplement the pensions of higher paid employees
      under the Qualified Pension Plan to the extent these pensions are subject
      to these legal restrictions, thereby providing these employees with a
      level of retirement income comparable to that of other employees. The
      board of directors believes that these pension supplements are necessary
      in order to recruit and retain senior executives.

      The Plan shall encompass all pension provisions of any employment
      agreement effective January 1, 1999, with regard to any such agreement
      which exists as of that date and any future employment agreement, as
      approved by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of Lear
      Corporation or its delegate.

3.    AMENDMENT OF PLAN EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1997

      Section 21 Amendment/Termination of the Plan gives the Board of Directors
      the authority to amend the Plan. In order to better fulfill the purpose of
      the Plan the Board of Directors approved an amendment to Section 10 Form
      of Payment effective January 1, 1997 to permit alternative payment options
      for those eligible employees who satisfy Section 10 as amended.

4.    ELIGIBILITY

      An employee of Lear and any affiliated company participating in the Lear
      Corporation Pension Plan is eligible for a benefit under the Plan if the
      employee satisfies all the requirements described in this section.

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

      (a)   RETIREMENT AFTER 1994 The employee must separate from service with
            Lear or any such affiliated company, as indicated in Section 4,
            after December 31, 1994, after completing 20 years of service or
            after satisfying the requirements for early, normal or disability
            retirement under the Qualified Pension Plan.

      (b)   PARTICIPANT IN QUALIFIED PENSION PLAN The employee must have a
            vested right to an accrued benefit under the Qualified Pension Plan.

      (c)   MEMBER OF TOP HAT GROUP The employee must be a highly compensated
            employee or member of management who belongs to the "top hat group"
            within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
            1974.

      (d)   DESIGNATED BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS The employee must have had
            compensation as recognized under the Qualified Pension Plan which
            exceeded the limits under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17)
            for at least three calendar years.

5.    VESTING

      An employee has a vested right to a benefit under the Plan as provided in
      this section. If an employee separates from service with Lear or any such
      affiliated company, as indicated in Section 4, before vesting, the
      employee forfeits any right to a benefit under the Plan.

      (a)   20 YEARS OF SERVICE An employee has a vested right to a benefit
            under the Plan as of the date the employee completes 20 years of
            service with Lear, Lear Siegler, Inc. any affiliated company
            participating in the Lear Corporation Pension Plan, or

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

            any combination thereof. Years of service are calculated in the same
            manner as under the Qualified Pension Plan.

      (b)   ELIGIBILITY FOR RETIREMENT An employee with less than 20 years of
            service has a vested right to a benefit under the Plan as of the
            date the employee satisfies the requirements for early, normal or
            disability retirement under the Qualified Pension Plan, except that
            the employee has not separated from service with Lear or any such
            affiliated company, as indicated in Section 4.

      (c)   CRIMINAL MISCONDUCT An employee who is vested forfeits any right to
            a benefit under the Plan if Lear terminates the employee because of
            fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation or other criminal misconduct
            involving moral turpitude committed in connection with employment
            with Lear or any such affiliated company, as indicated in Section 4.

6.    PENSION SUPPLEMENT

      An employee's benefit under the Plan is a pension supplement equal to the
      difference between the employee's actual vested accrued pension benefit
      under the Qualified Pension Plan and the pension benefit the employee
      would have accrued under the Qualified Pension Plan (ignoring all
      subsections under Section 4.01 other than subsection (a) of Section 4.01
      of the Qualified Pension Plan) if the Qualified Pension Limits were
      disregarded.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

7.    SUPPLEMENTAL PRERETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT

      A supplemental preretirement death benefit is paid to a surviving spouse
      who is eligible for a preretirement surviving spouse benefit under the
      Qualified Pension Plan. This death benefit is paid only if, upon the death
      of the employee, the following requirements have been met:

      (a)   death occurs subsequent to the employee becoming eligible for,
            effective January 1, 2003, vesting as determined under the Qualified
            Pension Plan. An employee has a vested right to a benefit under the
            Qualified Pension Plan as of the date the employee completes 5 years
            of service with Lear, Lear Siegler, Inc. any affiliated company
            participating in the Lear Corporation Pension Plan, or any
            combination thereof. Years of service are calculated in the same
            manner as under the Qualified Pension Plan. Prior to January 1,
            2003, the requirement was that death occurred subsequent to the
            employee becoming eligible for Plan participation pursuant to
            Section 4,

      (b)   death occurs subsequent to December 31, 1994,

      (c)   death occurs prior to the employee's date of retirement under the
            Qualified Pension Plan, and

      (d)   death occurs while the employee is actively employed by Lear or any
            such affiliated company, as indicated in Section 4.

      The supplemental preretirement death benefit is equal to the difference
      between the actual preretirement surviving spouse benefit under the
      Qualified Pension Plan and the

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

      preretirement surviving spouse benefit that would be available under the
      Qualified Pension Plan (ignoring all subsections under Section 4.01 other
      than subsection (a) of Section 4.01 of the Qualified Pension Plan) if the
      Qualified Pension Limits were disregarded.

8.    SUPPLEMENTAL POST RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT

      A supplemental post retirement death benefit is paid to any individual who
      is a surviving spouse of an employee who is eligible for the Plan and who
      is eligible for a survivor's benefit under the Qualified Pension Plan. The
      supplemental post retirement death benefit is equal to the difference
      between the actual survivor's benefit under the Qualified Pension Plan and
      the survivor's benefit that would be available under the Qualified Pension
      Plan (ignoring all subsections under Section 4.01 other than subsection
      (a) of Section 4.01 of the Qualified Pension Plan) if the Qualified
      Pension Limits were disregarded.

9.    TIME OF PAYMENT

      An individual's benefit under the Plan is paid at the same time as the
      individual's benefit is paid under the Qualified Pension Plan. However, an
      employee electing to retire before age 65 under the Qualified Pension Plan
      must provide Lear with written notice of such election at least 6 months
      prior to such retirement date.

10.   FORM OF PAYMENT

      (a)   NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT An individual's benefit under the Plan is
            paid in the same form as the individual's benefit under the
            Qualified Pension Plan. However, Lear may, in its discretion, elect
            to pay any benefit under the Plan in a single lump

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

            sum that is the actuarial equivalent of the benefit. To the extent a
            lump sum is payable from this Plan, the actuarial equivalence for
            such lump sum shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit A, item
            (c) of the Qualified Pension Plan.

      (b)   AGE 62 OR 16B OFFICER OPTION An employee who satisfies the
            requirements of paragraphs (1) and (2) below may elect a single lump
            sum payment or an installment payment option in lieu of the Normal
            Form of Payment.

            (1)   ELECTION REQUIREMENT An election of the lump sum option or the
                  installment payment option shall not be effective if
                  termination of employment occurs before the end of the first
                  full calendar year beginning after the election is made,
                  except if termination occurs by reason of death.

            (2)   ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT Eligibility to elect either of these
                  forms of payment shall be limited to employees who will be at
                  least age 62 and have 10 years of Service (as defined in the
                  Qualified Pension Plan) when benefits are to be paid, and (i)
                  if the employee is restricted in stock ownership trades under
                  Section 166 of the Security Exchange Commission Regulations,
                  have approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
                  Directors, or (ii) if the employee is not restricted in stock
                  ownership trades under Section 16b of the Security Exchange

            (3)   LUMP SUM PAYMENT The lump sum payment option is determined in
                  accordance with the rules outlined under Normal Form of
                  Payment of this Section 10.

            (4)   INSTALLMENT PAYMENT Under this option the employee will
                  receive a series of identical annual payments with the first
                  payment beginning on the first of the month following
                  retirement and each subsequent payment payable on the annual
                  anniversary of the first payment. The employee will elect the
                  number of annual payments payable at the time of the election
                  of this option. In no event may the number of annual payments
                  exceed 20. The annual payment will be determined by dividing
                  the Lump Sum Payment that would be payable under paragraph (3)
                  by an interest only annuity factor. The interest only annuity
                  factor will be determined using the interest rate required in
                  the determination of the Lump Sum Payment option.

11.   INCOME TAX TREATMENT

      This Plan is intended to be a nonqualified plan of deferred compensation
      under which the benefits are not subject to income tax until the year
      actually paid to employees.

12.   SOCIAL SECURITY/MEDICARE PAYROLL TAXES

      Benefits under the Plan are wages for purposes of social security and
      Medicare payroll taxes. Benefits are subject to payroll taxes in the year
      employees accrue the right to the benefit or, if later, vest in the
      benefits.

13.   INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING

      Lear shall deduct from all payments under the Plan the amount of federal
      and state income taxes it is required to withhold.

14.   FUNDING

      The Plan is not funded. The liability for benefits under the Plan consists
      of an entry in Lear's financial records. Payments to employees and
      beneficiaries are made in cash from Lear's general assets. In the event
      Lear seeks protection under the federal bankruptcy laws, all persons are
      unsecured general creditors of Lear with respect to benefits derived from
      the Plan. Lear may in its discretion fund its liabilities with respect to
      the Plan through a Rabbi Trust.

15.   ERISA STATUS

      The Plan is an unfunded promise to pay deferred compensation. It is not
      intended to comply with section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
      Participation in the Plan is limited to a select group of management and
      highly compensated employees and the Plan is intended to qualify for the
      top hat exemptions contained in sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1)
      of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

16.   ASSIGNMENT

      Except to the extent required by law, Lear will not recognize any
      assignment, pledge, collateralization or attachment of benefits under the
      Plan.

                                      -9-

17.   EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

      The Plan is not an employment contract and it creates no right in any
      person to continue employment with Lear or any such affiliated company, as
      indicated in Section 4, for any length of time.

18.   PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

      The Employee Benefits Committee of Lear is the plan administrator. Lear
      has the authority to do all things necessary to administer the Plan,
      including construing its language and determining eligibility for
      benefits. Lear has the authority to equitably adjust employees' rights
      under the Plan or the amount of an employee's benefit. Lear may adopt any
      rules necessary to administer the Plan which are not inconsistent with its
      terms. The board of directors may delegate the authority to administer the
      Plan.

19.   INCOMPETENT PERSONS

      If Lear finds that any person entitled to a benefit under the Plan is
      unable to manage his or her affairs because of legal incompetence, Lear,
      in its discretion, may pay the benefit due to such person to an individual
      deemed by Lear to be responsible for the maintenance of such person. Any
      such payment constitutes a complete discharge of Lear's liability under
      the Plan.

20.   EXPENSES

      Lear is responsible for the cost of administering the Plan.

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

21.   AMENDMENT/TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

      Lear may amend or terminate the Plan by resolution of its board of
      directors or any duly authorized committee of the board at any time. An
      amendment or plan termination cannot reduce or eliminate the benefits
      employees have accrued under the Plan as of the date of the amendment is
      executed or the date the Plan is terminated.

22.   PLAN SURVIVES CHANGE IN CONTROL

      The obligations of Lear under the Plan are binding on any organization
      succeeding to substantially all the assets and/or business of Lear by sale
      or otherwise. Lear is obligated under the Plan to make appropriate
      provision for the preservation of employees' rights under any agreement or
      plan which it may enter into or that effects a merger, consolidation,
      reorganization, reincorporation, change of name or transfer of company
      assets.

23.   GOVERNING LAW

      The validity and construction of the Plan is governed by the laws of the
      State of Michigan, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of
      law.

24.   CONSTRUCTION

      The following principles apply to the construction of the Plan.

      (a)   The plan administrator shall, in its discretion, construe the
            language of the Plan and resolve all questions concerning the
            administration and the interpretation of the Plan document.

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

      (b)   In the event any provision of the Plan is declared invalid, in whole
            or in part, by any legal authority, the remaining provisions of the
            Plan are unaffected and remain in full force and effect

      (c)   A provision of the Plan which is invalid in any jurisdiction remains
            in effect and is enforceable in all jurisdictions in which the
            provision is valid.

      (d)   Lear may, in its discretion, construe a provision of the Plan which
            is declared to be invalid in such a manner that it is valid.

25.   CLAIMS PROCEDURE

      The claims procedure set forth in this paragraph is the exclusive method
      of resolving disputes that arise under the Plan.

            (4)   An explanation of the claims review procedure with a statement
                  that the claimant must request review of the decision denying
                  the claim within 90 days following the date on which such
                  notice was received by the claimant.

            The written notice of denial must be mailed to the claimant within
            90 days following the date on which the claim was received by Lear.
            If special circumstances require an extension of time for processing
            a claim, the written notice may be mailed to the claimant not more
            than 180 days following the date on which the claim was received by
            Lear. Within the initial 90 day period, the claimant must be
            notified in writing of the extension, of the special circumstances
            requiring the extension and of the date by which the claimant will
            be furnished with written notice of the decision concerning the
            claim.

      (c)   REVIEW OF DENIAL The claimant may request review of the denial of a
            claim. A request for review must be mailed to Lear within 90 days of
            the date on which the written notice of denial is received by the
            claimant and must set forth the following information.

                  received by the claimant.

<PAGE>

            (3)   A statement by the claimant setting forth the basis upon which
                  the claimant believes Lear should reverse the denial of the
                  claim for benefits under the Plan.

            (4)   Written material (included as exhibits) that the claimant
                  desires Lear to examine.

      (d)   Decision on Review Lear must afford the claimant an opportunity to
            review documents pertinent to the claim and must conduct a full and
            fair review of the claim and its denial. Lear's decision on review
            must be furnished to the claimant in writing in a manner calculated
            to be understood by the claimant. The decision must include a
            statement of the reasons for the decision with references to the
            specific provisions of the Plan upon which the decision is based.
            The decision on review must be mailed to the claimant within 90 days
            following the date on which the request for review is received by
            Lear. If special circumstances require an extension of time to
            consider a request for review, Lear's written review of the claim
            may be mailed to the claimant not more than 180 days after Lear
            received the request for review. Within the initial 90 day period.
            Lear must notify the claimant in writing of the extension, the
            special circumstances requiring the extension and of the date by
            which the claimant will be furnished with written notice of the
            decision reviewing the claim.
